“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael & Loraine! It was our first time leaving Bomi with someone outside of family, and they were so patient, kind, and reassuring from the start — answering all our questions and even inviting us to see their clean, spacious home before booking. While we were away, they kept in touch with thoughtful updates and photos, and it was clear Bomi was happy, comfortable, and loved like family. We’re so grateful for their care, attention, and kindness, and would absolutely trust them with Bomi again. Highly recommend!”

“Shamira took good care of our girl, Rosie, while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and we could see our pup’s tail was high and happy. Rosie had been there before and was happy when she arrived for another stay. Shamira was very flexible and kind when our trip was extended because of travel delays.”

“Boddie loved playing with Amanda's dogs. He loved her fenced in backyard to run, run, run to burn off his energy. I appreciated Amanda giving me updates on how Boddie was doing. Especially after his first night. I was pleased to hear he was quiet through the night and the great communication she provided in light of drop off and pickup. Highly recommend!”


About: As dog parents with experience in fostering, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, and favorite things so they feel comfortable while you’re away. We understand that every dog is different, some love playtime and long walks, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. We will follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and confident that your dog is being cared for. I work a very flexible hybrid schedule, and my husband works fully remotely, so someone is always home throughout the day. Caring for our own dogs is already part of our daily routine, and we work together to provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. We believe walks and enrichment are important parts of keeping dogs happy and fulfilled. We make time for walks that let dogs set the pace and enjoy plenty of sniffing, along with enrichment activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. We also enjoy visiting local parks and fields for more exploring. At home, we have a tether anchored in the backyard for supervised outdoor time, and we will always follow your dog’s comfort level and preferences when/if you prefer for it to be used. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s needs and usual routine to make sure our schedule and activities are a good fit. Whether your pet stays in our home or I visit them in yours, their safety and comfort are always a priority. Before booking, we’ll discuss their personality, routines, and any special needs so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. For stays in our home, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog gets along with ours and make sure everyone is a good fit. We’ll discuss feeding arrangements, supervision, and any boundaries your dog needs, including having their own space to relax. Outdoor tether time is always supervised and only offered with your approval. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and home security. We’ll also go over any triggers, escape tendencies, or other concerns so I know what to watch for. You’ll receive photos and updates, and your pet will get plenty of attention, patience, and care.
“Olive was such a great caregiver to our dog, Arlo. He was well cared for and we received pictures daily. Olive definitely knows her dogs and what each individual breed needs. Thanks for a great stay!”

“Kathleen was great taking care of my Smokey. Especially when he was neutered a week prior and needed to wear this big cone around his neck. Smokey takes medication to control seizures and needs to be hand fed. Kathleen was sooo involved and gave Smokey her full attention. Thank you so much Kathleen.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our 14-year-old dog over the weekend! ❤️ It’s not always easy leaving an older dog because they need a little extra love, attention, and patience, but we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the weekend, which meant so much to us. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. We are so grateful for the love and care she gave him and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. We will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”

“It was such a pleasure leaving our dog overnight with Rachel and her husband. You can tell what dog-lovers they are! Even though it was only for one night, Rachel sent pictures and videos to keep us updated on the goings on of our pup. It set our minds at ease knowing we could enjoy the holiday without worrying. We’ll be sure to use Rachel again!”

“Heather is an excellent pet sitter! Our little senior dog, Miki, stayed with her for a week while we were on vacation. Heather responded to all messages very promptly and is a great communicator. She followed all instructions to the letter and kept us updated on how our little boy was doing. At one point, Miki seemed to be feeling under the weather. Heather calmly shared her concerns and we were able to talk through a solution together. When we picked Miki up, he was happy and comfortable in Heather’s home. I would recommend Heather without hesitation!”


“We recently brought our dog Ollie to Ena and Dan to stay overnight 2 days. We were super worried as Ollie is the most shy dog we have ever met. He is very attached to us and never has taken to anyone else despite our many attempts to get him to do so. We were very nervous when we dropped him off, but Ena was great at sending us updates and photos so that we could feel better, especially when we saw how well he was bonding with Ena, Dan and their dog! By day 2 he was cuddling with them, sleeping in bed with them and running around the dog park with them and having a blast. We felt totally at ease. We plan to continue using Ena and Dan for all future trips as they truly treated Ollie like their own dog and made us feel comfortable with tons of thoughtful updates. Couldnt recommend her enough!”

“Uklu and Andrew are the best! Our dog zuzu had such a great time with them. She was active and happy when we brought her home. We can’t thank them enough for providing for Zuzu so wonderfully!!! We will continue to have Zuzu stay there for sure!”

“Amanda was amazing! I would 1000% recommend. She is/was awesome with correspondence the whole time we were away and was engaged enough with our girl to give regular updates which helped ease any worry while we were gone. I felt confident that she was well taken care of. Will absolutely reach out to her again.”

“SIQI was the best dog sitter we have ever had for our 2 medium to large dogs. She was extremely responsive and very kind. She had dogs before and knows how to care for dogs really well. She went above and beyond for our girls. One of our girls nails chipped and she quickly sent a picture and followed up with what she did. We are looking forward to having her care for our girls in the future!”

“I cannot say enough about Pepper's stay with Wendy. We rarely leave Pepper and were a little apprehensive about leaving her for a full week. But no worries here. Pepper made herself right at home. Wendy sent pictures daily of Pepper and their long walks together and of Pepper relaxing on the couch and seemingly enjoying her time there. I would definitely recommend Wendy for your pups and will certainly use her when we travel in the future. Thanks again Wendy! 💖”

“Rebecca was so great with Birdie!! She was well taken care of and I received updates every day. I could tell Birdie was tired when she got home from her time with her. Will definitely book with Rebecca again in the future. 🙂”

“Mikaila is amazing!! She is so professional and on top of everything. She sent timely updates and pictures while watching Bogey, and took thorough notes during our meet and greet to make sure she gave my dog the most personalized care she could. I have a rescue and he can be very timid, but he warmed up to her, and I've never seen him so excited about a dog sitter before. Highly recommend!”

“We cant say enough about how lucky we were to find Allen and his family to watch our Buddy. We felt so comfortable and reassured knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away. We already booked Allen for 2 more upcoming overnight stays.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Worcester 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 Worcester.
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 Worcester 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.
