“I was so pleased with Carol's care of my Yorkie. She did an excellent job and he was so very well taken care of. I could not be happier. I was also very reassured he was in good hands as she is a regular foster parent for dogs and has lots of experience. Thank you Carol!”

I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

“Fantastic experience with Tracie. She kindly accommodated my last-minute booking for the holiday weekend, including being flexible for a meet and greet as well as drop off/pick up times. I received regular and detailed updates throughout my dog's stay. My dog had a blast during his stay and came home happy and tired. I plan to reach out to Tracie for future boarding.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from walking and feeding to overnight stays. I often pet-sit for friends when they travel, and I've also rescued and nursed several stray dogs back to health. Every dog I care for is treated with the same love and attention as my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I'm able to walk, feed, and spend time with dogs throughout the day, not just during set hours. Weekends and evenings are open for boarding as well. I provide a calm, clean, and secure indoor environment for boarding dogs. Each dog gets a comfortable resting area, and I take them out for regular walks and bathroom breaks. Safety is always my top priority. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unfamiliar or hazardous situations.
“Jeremy was amazing! He and his wife were so kind and thoughtful. Heinz really enjoyed his time there. They sent photos every day to include our dog in a Steelers jersey while we were at the game. Highly recommend”
“I am always a little nervous when I leave my pup with someone new but AJ was great with Tater. He put me at ease knowing that my pup was being taken care of so well. He gave my puppy full range of his home and gave him the necessary play/exercise. I would recommend AJ.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Ashley! She is wonderful with our girl, Ebby. It’s such a relief to be able to be away for the weekend and know she’s in good hands.”
“Joe was great. Good communication, meet and greet, made sure Drake was comfortable. He sent pictures daily. Drake was happy when I came to get him, seems to have had a blast. Would use Joe again.”
“Raeann was an absolute joy!! After our sitter cancelled last minute we found she had an opening and it was absolutely perfect for our pup. She was a lifesaver for a holiday weekend. He became a part of the family right away and Raeann truly loved him for the weekend the way we love him all the time. You cannot go wrong with Raeann as your sitter, highly recommend!!!”
“Pico had such a great time with Natasha and Pluto! She was attentive and checked in with us frequently, letting us know our pup was having a great time. She’s absolutely a dog lover and will treat yours with great care. I highly recommend her!”

Augusta watches our dog all the time!!!! She and her family is so welcoming and caring. They are apart of our family now. I wouldn’t trust any one else with our dog. Sometimes we need her last minute and she always helps us out. Very reliable and loving. Highly recommend!!! No other sitter is like her. Seriously I would book with her. You would no be disappointed. Thank you so very much!!!
Finn had another wonderful stay with Brittany! She’s the best and takes such good care of our big baby. She provides frequent updates with pictures and videos showing what a great time Finn is having. It makes for such a worry free vacation when we know he’s in good hands and treated like family.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Wilmerding can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wilmerding 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 Wilmerding.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmerding. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Wilmerding 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
