“Kerri and Harry were great with our 12 year old lab, Lacey. They arranged a meet and great prior to booking to make sure that our pup would be ok with their cats. They were responsive and sent updates while we were away. Lacey came home very tired and happy! We will absolutely book with them again in the future!”
“Traci is an amazing bonus mom to my fur baby. She is very attentive and gives me lots of updates that I appreciate when I'm traveling. She has a big clean house and yard for lots of running fun and tag games with resident pup Chewy. I really recommend Traci as a boarder, my pup adores her and runs into her and every time.”
“I was so thankful that Jia was available to watch our pup again, this time for 9 nights which is the longest we’ve ever left her. We received daily updates with photos and videos of her having a blast with the other dogs, which our kids loved to see. We picked our pup up last night and she was great.”
“Lauren was awesome!! She took the lead on short notice, she was very good at giving me updates and sending me pictures. Her and her family were very nice and friendly.. I would definitely use her again in the future and I will definitely recommend her and Rover to anyone that asks me about watching their dogs!!”
“Angela and her family took such great care of our Bruno. She provided daily updates with pictures which meant so much to us. He enjoyed his stay and we’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Iger was terrific! Kept us updated with pics and videos of our high energy German shepherd getting all the exercise and pets he needed. Ozzy is looking forward to his next stay with his new best friend!”
“i can’t say enough about how wonderful bonnie & joseph are. as soon as you meet them, you know your pet will be taken care of & then some! our dog is a very finicky eater; when she wasn’t interested in the food we brought, bonnie & joseph stepped into action, sharing their own dogs food & even feeding ours by hand first, until she eased into eating out of a bowl. that’s what i call 5 star service! this was our first time using them & we will definitely be repeat customers🥰🐶”
“Borey and her family were great with our puggle while we were away. She sent pictures and videos every day. We knew he was in good hands and having fun. I will be calling her again when we plan our next vacation!”
“Monica provides wonderful care for my two French Bulldogs. Drop-off and pick-up are a breeze. This rebook sealed the deal - my dogs were excited to return and willingly left me for the fun and play at Monica’s. Thank you!”
“Camila, was absolutely wonderful with my Dog. She truly went above and beyond while watching my pet. I completely forgot my dog's food at home before leaving town, and she didn't mind going to the store to get a bag, no hesitation at all. She kept me updated with sweet photos every day, and I could tell my pet were comfortable and happy with her. Thank you again I'll definitely be booking her every time!”
“Great communication with Kevin while he watched my doggie!!! Pic and videos were really great to have while I was away from her! It made it a lot easier to leave her while on my trip!!! Super happy with Kevin and his family for watching Bella!!”
“My dog was very reluctant to leave and that's how you know a caretaker has done a great job. Gabriela and her husband both are genuinely nice people who love dogs. What more could you hope for in a caretaker?”
“Tully had the best time with Lauren and her family, especially her children! Lauren sent daily updates and pictures and reassured me that Tully was doing well and having fun! I will definitely book another stay with Lauren!”
“We could tell Rosie had a good time while they stayed with Michael and Kelly. Having someone watch your dog is never the easiest thing, but they put us at ease by sending pictures and plenty of messages. They were understanding when we returned later than we planned due to traffic. They also provided honest feedback of her stay, which is something we really wanted to help train Rosie for next time. We would love to have Michael watch Rosie again.”
“I can't say enough about how wonderful Kathleen and her family were with our dog Maci. Maci is 11 years old and very anxious. My husband works from home so she is always with family and very attached. We were worried about leaving her with someone she did not know. We met Kathleen and her family before our trip and they were extremely nice and easy to talk with. They immediately bonded with Maci and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog, who is like our child, with them. During our trip Kathleen sent pictures and kept us updated as to how Maci was doing. It was a huge relief. I have never used Rover or a pet sitter site before but can now rave about how easy and great it was. I highly recommend Kathleen with the care of your pet and I will surely use her services again!”
“Lauren and Derrick were the absolute best. I felt very comfortable with them when I went to meet them for the meet and greet before my dogs stay. Their house was clean their pets were well mannered and friendly and they sent me many pictures during my dogs stay. they are true pet lovers and I would recommend them over and over. They will be my first option anytime I am looking for pet boarding.”
“Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I've adopted many dogs, but started pet sitting for my much needed "fix" when my kids left the nest and couldn't help if i got another dog while I worked. I have dog sat at other people's house, at my house and do love senior dogs as much as young ones. I'm now retired and want to love on dogs. I just retired so i'm quite flexible. I love walking in general, and would enjoy the company of a pooch or 2. I'm good for just the day, overnight or extended needs. I always considered my own dogs as being family members. That said, they are allowed on the furniture. I have a small fenced back yard if your pooch doesn't want to walk in the rain or needs a late evening potty break. During the daytime, I like to walk a lot so your place or mine to give your dog's legs a stretch. I always have dogs on leash, no free running dogs are allowed in my development. I do belong to the Lower Makefield dog park if you are local and want to add me to your account to bring your dog there.
“Earlier this week, I found myself in the position of finding overnight care for my dog Cookie at the very last minute. I will never send him to a kennel since he does not do well with a lot of other dogs and I did not want him lost amidst a sea of yapping or feeling confined. I needed someone with a big, secure, natural back yard to enjoy when not on walks; someone with only one or two personal pets who would not take in others during Cookie’s stay; and someone active, engaged and loving with my special guy. I found that person in Christina. Christina is brand new to the platform, which I actually liked since I suspected she would go over and beyond what was required as she builds her reputation. Her narrative and the testimonials sounded authentic, and her photos showed obvious joy with dogs and cats. And she was available on short notice. I asked if we could do a live video “walk-around” her house, and mainly her yard, on WhatsApp, which I do not believe most people would have agreed to, but she did so readily. This is what I saw, heard and learned: 1) The yard is huge, secure, beautiful and interesting; 2) Her rapport with her own bichon was kind, gentle and fun (I learned she had three bichons for many years but two passed and I think Rover is partly to help fill that void); 3) She walks in Pennypack Park morning, noon and night so when Cookie was not enjoying the yard, he’d be enjoying new sights and sounds elsewhere with his new bichon buddy; 4) Cookie would not be caged ever, and no other dogs would be accepted for boarding while he was there. I had to change the drop off and pickup times at the last minute, which was not a problem at all. Drop-off was easy and communication consistent and remained on WhatsApp throughout the stay. I picked Cookie up a little while ago and I knew I had made the right choice for my guy. Cookie will be back at Christina’s without a question, though hopefully not at the last minute again. Five out of five!!!”

I could not be more grateful for Kathleen! My Oliver had recently been diagnosed with diabetes three days before our trip and Kathleen was extremely helpful us navigating the first week of the diagnosis while we were out of town. I owe her so much for making sure Ollie was happy and healthy. She administered insulin, did daily times feedings and kept a log which will help us on Ollies diabetes journey. As noted we are extremely grateful for Kathleen!!
We left our baby Bella with Christine and I must say, she seemed like she did not want to come back 😂 She was in good spirits and clearly felt comfortable with her and her husband, Bella doesn’t like anyone carrying her but felt very comfortable with Christine. I would certainly recommend her for anyone looking to have their precious pup to have a loving and comfortable place to stay! Thank you for taking such good care of our precious little girl ❤️
We had a wonderful experience and couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog received. It was clear that the whole family made her feel welcome and treated her like one of their own. We especially loved knowing that she had their dogs around for company and was able to feel like part of the family while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such a caring, comfortable home and getting plenty of attention. She came home happy and very well cared for, which says it all. We would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, dependable place for their dog to stay. Five stars!
Elaine was so great with my senior dog Pawly. Pawly is trained to go outside but somehow forgot all that with the stress of new surroundings. Elaine handled it like a pro. She went out and brought him training pads out of her own money. She taught an old dog a new trick to go on an inside pad which he has never done before. Pawly came home looking happy and well feed. Pawly cant wait to see his awesome pet sitter again! I would recommend Elaine with out exception. She has a big backyard and pets of her own that get along with their new friends.
I couldn’t be happier with the care Iger provided for my dog Waffles. She was definitely a bit hesitant and slow to warm up at first, but Iger clearly has a ton of experience reading dog body language and personalities. By the end of the week, the two of them had completely bonded! I received constant updates packed with photos and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s so reassuring to find someone who genuinely knows how to handle different temperaments with patience and skill. I’ll definitely be booking him again!
Holly was wonderful!! Sammie had a great stay with Holly and her family. I was worried about her bc we’ve never left her before but my fears were put to rest when Holly would update me each day. I was afraid that Sammie might want to stay and not come home, but in the end, she missed us a lot.
Jenny has boarded my miniature Schnoodle, Jasper on several occasions. Usually our trips are well planned in advance but this last time we had to board Jasper when we had to go out with family on an unplanned trip. Jenny was able to take on Jasper on very short notice. She is always prompt in her communications and keeps us updated on how Jasper is doing which we appreciate very much! We are very happy that Jasper is well taken care of during the times we have to be away!
We are SO happy that we found Abby to watch our sweet senior fur baby over a long weekend. Abby was very attentive to our instructions and sent lots of updates every day, which really put us at ease leaving our dog with a new person. Our dog can be a bit timid but she warmed right up to Abby right away — dogs really are an excellent judge of character! Abby was also very flexible when we were facing some unexpected flight delays coming back to town. I highly recommend her and we are looking forward to rebooking with her!

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 Yellowood 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 Yellowood 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 Yellowood.
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 Yellowood. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 Yellowood 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.
