“Amy is always responsive and sends pictures when we board our pup with her! I appreciate that she vets dog temperaments prior to allowing them to stay with her. Mango always has the best time playing with other dogs that Amy is also taking care of!”
About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
“Alysia is, without a doubt, the most spectacular human being I have ever encountered—and I’m not just saying that because she’s my best friend and knows all my secrets. She routinely defies the laws of time and space to go above and beyond for people, casually pulling off miracles even when her own schedule is a chaotic mess. Most importantly, she loves my fur babies like they are her own biological offspring, which means she is officially the favorite aunt. Whenever life decides to throw a curveball, Alysia is already there, cape on, stepping in to make sure absolutely everything is under control. 11/10 stars, highly recommend this human.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have dreamed of a better experience! Sara was so sweet and knowledgeable, and sent lots of wonderful photos. The next time we will absolutely go to her first!!”
About: Having been a dog and cat owner for most of my life, I'm excited to be able to take the love and care that I've provided and share it with your fur baby. I work from home most days, so I am able to spend a lot of time with your dog or cat, including overnights. Feeding, walks, play time, cuddles, general attention. I just want to be your pets new best friend! I love dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I am good with pets that need medication (oral) and that are still being housebroken. Communication is important and my goal is to keep you as updated about your pet as you would like. It is my priority that you, your pet, and myself are safe and comfortable, so meet and greets before any booking are a must. Looking forward to become friends with your favorite animal. I work from home most days of the week, with meetings over Zoom and in person throughout the week. I'm usually not gone from home longer than a few hours at a time. This can be adjusted accordingly. Weekends are not a problem to be there for your animal as needed. When staying at a clients home it is my priority to respect the home owners space. Meeting prior to any overnights is a must to discuss details, learn how your pet behaves at home, and where they are comfortable being in the home. Communication between myself and the pet owner is very important.
“Geena is an absolute gift! She hosted our kitty for two back to back stays during a chaotic era of our lives and was FANTASTIC. Kitty had some medical stuff come up during her stay and Geena went above and beyond to communicate with us and make sure she had great care. We will absolutely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
“Angela is super nice and attentive. My dog was right at home. I love that Angela reaches out through each day and even sends pictures. I’ll be working with Angela again for sure… and you should too :-)”
“Thank you Alexis for taking care of Aira again and sending us pictures regularly. She definitely enjoys the time with her puppy friends and your family while being at your place.”
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Melissa did an amazing job watching our dog Sadie! She was great sending pictures and updates! You can tell she is truly compassionate about the dogs in her care! We will rebook with Melissa in the future!”
“Colette and her daughters provided excellent care for our pug, Sebastian. She was quick to respond to messages and was very polite. I didn't worry once while I was away and when we picked up Sebastian, we could tell he was well cared for. Thank You Colette!”
“Our Border Collie is a bit challenging to find a good fit in a pet sitter. She is very high energy and needs lots of play time, she's not great with unknown dogs, and though she's we'll behaved, she will not bond with every person she meets. During our meet and greet with Jordyn,I saw allot of positive signs in my pups behavior. Jordyn indeed turned out to be an excellent choice for us. We left our pup with Jordyn for 4 full days and came home to a happy and stress free dog. We've had a couple of pet sitter experiences where that wasn't the case so it was easy to recognize the difference. Jordyn was extremely flexible with scheduling and created a fantastic experience for all of us. She'll definitely be our first choice in the future”
“Chang was wonderful!! She was available for a last minute request and took such wonderful care of Birdie. She sent daily photos and was quick to respond. I will definitely be asking Chang for help again! Thank you!!”
“Sarah has watched my pet multiple times and always takes excellent care of her. She is friendly, flexible with scheduling, and was able to administer meds and communicate updates regularly. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than family. He has lots of anxiety and we were nervous, too! Christine was the perfect match for our dog! She sent us lots of photos and updates, and we felt totally comfortable knowing that he was in good hands. We would totally book with Christine again. I think our dog really misses her!”
About: I’ve been a Veterinary Technician for the past 3 years, however I have been taking care of animals all my life. I have years of experience from my own dogs and cats as well as other families’. From puppies/kittens to the senior babies I can help out wherever you need it :) I am canine/feline CPR trained I work full time at a veterinary clinic, so I have time in the afternoons/evenings for walks or drop ins! Boarding availability on weekends :) I have two friendly cats who free roam my house. I feel very strongly that pets are family and should be treated as so. With that being said I take many precautions to keep them safe in your home as well as my home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood, whether my own, or for friends, family, and neighbors. I will treat your sweet dog or cat as my own. I can go on long or short walks, can administer medications, can play or provide sweet loving attention to your fur babies. I work part-time, so I’m happy to be at your home or taking care of your dog/cat before 9 and after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. The other days of the week/weekend I can be there as often as you’d like, for as long as you’d like. I can walk dogs for as long as you need, we can work out a schedule that works best. My yard is partially fenced, so I fully intend to watch your dog during outdoor time if you are not one to use a lead. My house is 3-stories so perfect for any size animal. At the client’s home, I will follow your instructions as close as possible, and can provide a safe and loving presence. The only caveat is my house has 2 cats, so we must be sure the the visiting dog is safe with cats.
About: Hi! We have a 2 year old neutered male Samoyed who loves to play! We’d be happy to welcome another high energy dog or older dog to our home for a short or extended stay. We treat all dogs in our care as our own and can accommodate 1 long walk (~40 mins plus) and 2 medium walks (~20 mins each) throughout the day. Dogs will also have access to our small fenced back yard for bathroom breaks throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, I understand updates and pictures are a MUST can make the difference between enjoying your time away and worrying about your fur baby. You will receive consistent check-ins from us to ensure you have that peace of mind. Please reach out to find out if your dog has any behavioral or reactivity issues that we can accommodate - it is always important for us to do a meet up before taking on new clients to ensure our dog and your dog will be happy during the stay. I am also happy to accommodate day time care only rates for people who would like someone home with their pet during the workday or an extended day out of the house. I work from home and am available for round the clock pet care. My partner, nic, works hybrid and will also be available to help care for your dog! Since we have our own dog, we rarely both leave the house at the same time, and we never leave for longer than 4 hrs a day. With a high energy Samoyed, my life revolves around making sure he has the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. We’d love to have your pet join us for our 8am walk, 2:30pm walk, and 8pm evening long walk. We also take our dog to Schenley for fetch (empty field only) on the long leash - please let us know if you think your dog would enjoy that activity too! My personal goal is to help my dog meet more dog friends - we will do everything in our power to make sure Frank and his new bestie are both happy and healthy during their stay! Our standard protocols: - no toys (some dogs will express resource guarding behavior when not set up for success) - dogs will always be fed separately (same rationale as above) - crating can be accommodated but we typically do not crate our pup when we leave the house and dogs will be separated upstairs/downstairs when unattended - reactive dogs on leash will be walked separately as needed **please reach out if your dog might require any additional accommodations outside of our standard protocol**

Valerie took such great care of our Fredo! This was our first time boarding our puppy, so we were a little nervous, but we quickly felt at ease seeing how much he was enjoying himself and knowing he was in good hands. Valerie was so kind and made sure she knew his routine before welcoming him into her home. She kept us updated throughout the day with the best photos and videos! She took him to the park and even sent him home with a toy he fell in love with during his stay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave him and will definitely be booking with her again!
Responsive, caring , kind and supportive sitter. My dog developed some allergies and began coughing when I left my dog with Chris. Chris went out of his way to help Pluto feel better. He even picked up medicine’s for Pluto. Cuddled him and gave him loads of love. He was constantly updating us and kept us in loop and ensured we didn’t take stress while we were away. Deeply appreciated his kindness towards Pluto. Thank you Chris 🙏Highly recommended! 10 stars !
Martin was a perfect person for my two dogs. They haven’t stayed away from home before. He was so patient with them and took time out to win Maggie over! They got walked, played, got groomed and mingled with his dogs. Picture of them looked like they all lived there.He made them feel like one of his family. Thanks Martin. We’ll be back!
Daniel did a wonderful job with our golden retriever. Although he had never spent time with our dog, Daniel understood what our dog craves (petting!) and what he really enjoys (playing with other dogs). Daniel’s dogs were great playmates to our dog. Also house very clean, a fenced in back yard and great communication. We will use Daniel again.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
