“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!”

We would definitely use Cheyenne again to look after Lainey. Thank you”
“We were a nervous wreck leaving our 12 year old Baby with a stranger for the first time and for 10 days! Laura invited us to a meet and greet at her home before we left and she is the type of person that when you meet her and have a conversation, you feel like you’ve been friends for years! She took very good care of Baby and sent us texts with pics the whole time we were gone! I highly recommend her and I was thrilled when she said she would watch her again!”
“I was looking for a last minute sitter and my coworker told me about Rover. I found Debbie and Phil on the app and got a quick response. We did a meet and greet two days later and I was blown away by the size of the yard (all fenced in). For the price of a kennel, Debbie and Phil took amazing care of my Australian Shepard. They sent me daily pictures and videos and my dog Daisy had a blast running around with their other dogs. Skip the kennel, these guys are great! Your dog will thank you. Thanks Phil and Debbie.”
“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SARAH! She was able to watch my pup for the weekend with short notice. I was afraid leaving my dog because of his energy level, but she was amazing with him. She kept me updated throughout the weekend, and sent photos. :) if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur baby please go to her!”
“Wonderful people with hearts of gold! They cared for our dog like he was their own—he had an incredible time filled with long walks, playful moments, and lots of love. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Heaven was very responsive and accommodating. My dog was instantly comfortable with her and very happy when I picked her up. I will ask her to watch my dog again if I'm in the area”
“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!”
“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!”
“I was very nervous to leave my new puppy with a sitter for the first time, but they made it a seamless and stress free process. They are so kind and welcoming and sent so many updates and pictures! 11/10! Thank you again!”
“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 !!”
“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!”
“Chrisie is a great sitter. She always sends us pics of our dog and keeps us updated on how he's doing while in her care. She's patient with him and we feel at ease knowing he is safe with her. This was her second time watching our poodle and definitely won't be the last. Highly recommend her! Thanks Chrisie!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wilkes-Barre on Rover is $47.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 133 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.
