“You will never find a better sitter for your furbaby than Karen and Donald. They love animals. They are like family to my Jax. Sometimes I think he likes being there more than he likes being home!”
“Jack & Joanne took such great care of Shelby! This was our first time leaving her overnight and we were a bit nervous. There was no reason to be nervous because they took care of her like their own.”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“So glad we found Laura. This was the first time leaving Brinkley and we were a little apprehensive about taking him to a kennel so this was so much better. She was great sending pictures throughout the day and letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely be calling Laura in the near future.”
“Amber was fantastic with our puppy Mugsy. She answered any questions we had and sent pictures and videos throughout his stay. Will 100 percent use her again when we need a sitter for our little pug!”
“Debbie and her husband, Phil are truly the best dog sitters! I don’t ever worry when my dog, Jasper is there. She is so gracious to send a lot of pictures and videos. Her huge fenced in yard is amazing. Jasper loves to run with the other dogs. When I picked up Jasper this last time, he actually started to pull on his leash back towards Debbie’s to go back inside! Lol I give them 5 stars always, they deserve it!”
“Another great stay with Glen. We had an emergency while we were away and came back later than expected. Glen kept Morgan and put our minds at ease that she was taken care of while we were dealing with our issue. I highly recommend Glen!”
“Cheyenne and her husband took excellent care of Xena and Henri. They are high energy, not great listeners and not super bright, but Cheyenne kept them safe and happy! If you’re in need of a top notch pup sitter, I highly recommend Cheyenne and her husband.”
“Daniela was great with my dog! He was very nervous at first but he got comfortable very quickly with Daniela and her daughter. She took care of him very well and even sent me updates as and when I requested. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much ☺️”
“Truly fantastic experience, when we arrived, we were greeted with a very warm welcome, Adriana, treated Norah as if she was her own. The whole house is dedicated almost entirely to the dogs. When I left, I received pictures of Norah quite frequently, to let me know she was okay. She seemed so happy, I didn't think she would want to come back with me. Overall, I'm very pleased and will be seeking her service in the future.”
“Anna was the best! In the few moments I got to meet her I could tell right away she's a very empathetic, kind and caring person. She is passionate about animals and is great at understanding their behavior and adapting to it. She has her own dogs which are very well taken care of and better trained than my Bara, mine is an only-puppy so it helped with socializing her! She gave me daily updates with very detailed info on my puppy's day and tons of photos and videos. She played with her, gave her tons of treats, took her out on walks and even had movie night with her! I didn't have to worry at all. She completely won my Bara's heart.”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“My wife and I are very protective of our little dachshund Wella. When we read Julie's first response to our request, we knew right away that she and her family were the mature and responsible people we could trust to watch our dog. Julie sent multiple updates and photos to us while she had Wella, and that was very nice and reassuring. They did so great with Wella that she seemed to want to stay longer! The kids played so much with Wella that she needed to sleep in the next day! Great experience with Julie and her family and We are looking forward to using her again !!”
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“Accepted my two dogs at the last minute when we had to make an urgent trip. My little dog Doc was nervous around the other dogs, but Chrisie made him feel safe and comfortable.”
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wilkes-Barre
Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wilkes-Barre on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 125 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wilkes-Barre. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Wilkes-Barre sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Wilkes-Barre landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wilkes-Barre home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wilkes-Barre.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Wilkes-Barre sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
