“Kerri & Harry always do a great job with Layla! It's always obvious how much Layla enjoy spending time with them and how well Kerri & Harry take care of Layla.”
“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!!”
About: Hi I’m Ali! (Alexandra is my full name) Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have loved caring for them for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own, Zuko and Maggie, who have given me experience with dogs at very different stages of life. I raised and trained Zuko from the time he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that young dogs need. I also adopted Maggie when she was 9 years old, which has given me experience caring for a senior dog and understanding that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat every dog in my care like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while they’re with me. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, cuddles, patience, or simply a cozy place to relax, I’m happy to give them the personalized care and attention they deserve. 🐶❤️ Pet Care That Fits Into My Everyday Life 🐾 I work fully remotely, which means I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. My workday typically starts at 8:30 AM, but every morning begins with a long walk for Zuko to make sure he gets his exercise and starts the day happy. My schedule is also flexible, so I’m able to take multiple breaks throughout the day for potty breaks, backyard playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. I love having dogs around while I work, and having them as part of my daily routine makes pet care feel very natural. Your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches while in my care. I’m able to provide frequent attention, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent routine. I have a medium-sized, fully fenced-in yard where dogs have plenty of room to run, play fetch, and get their zoomies out! I love giving pups opportunities for exercise and play while also making sure they have a safe and comfortable space to relax. I also have a designated pet room upstairs for dogs who need some quiet time or a little space of their own. It’s set up with plenty of toys, comfortable pet beds, and everything they need to feel cozy and at home. My goal is to give every pup a balance of play, attention, and downtime so they can feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they’re staying with me.
“Roseann was great! She picked up our dog at the house and sent us lots of pics and communication! She waited to introduce our dog to hers and it went really well. Bonus was having Roseanne’s sons to play with our dog, just like our dog’s 2 brothers :-) It is great to have our dog in a loving home and not in a sterile kennel!!”
“Absolutely WONDERFUL. I literally have no words to describe how amazing Traci and Jeffery’s care was for Apollo. They are so sweet and kind and treated my dog as their own. They kept me updated on his activities and behaviors. They were so incredibly accompanying to his medical needs. They are such lovely people to talk with as well. They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”
“Leanne and Mark were awesome to work with. I was super nervous about leaving Ezra with a new pet-sitter, but they were incredible with him. Our dog played so well with their well-behaved dog - Astro - and didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up! I received pictures to let me know he was doing well, and it really eased my worry. I know that our dog got the attention and exercise that I was looking for with a pet-sitter. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsive and caring pet-sitter for their furry family member :)”
“It makes our heart lighter to know that Kiri is safe & loved when we travel: not just by Kathleen, but by her whole family. Kathleen sends us daily updates with lots of wonderful photos of all the fun Kiri has. We can always tell that Kiri is well taken care of, & often say she's on her own vacation whenever she stays with Kathleen and her family!”
“We knew from the moment Maggie stepped foot inside Meghan’s home that she felt safe and loved. I was amazed at the number of photos and updates that greeted me everyday. Maggie looked super happy and comfortable. Meghan is not only the ultimate puppy sitter; she’s a compassionate soul. I couldn’t imagine leaving Maggie with anyone else.”
“This is our 2nd stay with Christine. She has always communicated well with us on Chewie's stay. We love that she tries to watch only 1 dog at a time to keep her focus on the care of 1. We are already booked with Christine in Sept.”
“Melissa & Dan took great care of Bowser and were very understanding of his nervousness when a storm came through. They kept me updated on Bowser throughout his stay, and Bowser played well with their dogs. I highly recommend using them!”
“Elaine was amazing!! She was very patient with my baby who is very anxious around new people and places. She let me know how she was doing daily. And to my surprise, my Chi-chi even got along with her dog. I would definitely recommend and re-book with Elaine in the future.”
“Katie and Rooney were really great with my nervous dog, Otis. It was great to see all the pictures she sent and we will definitely book a stay with her again soon!”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Wanda. When we left them I heard them crying and was a bit concerned about them settling in. When we got home Wanda had texted and let us know they were setting in and sent us photos showing them relaxing. During the week we received multiple photos and updates on how it was going, which put us at ease. When we picked up the dogs they were in excellent health and very happy. We would highly recommend Wanda dog sitting services. Thank you Wanda, for taking such good care of our dogs.”
“This is the first time we left our pittie baby overnight with someone other than family or friends. Jia is wonderful! She kept me updated with pics and texts. My dog came home happy and exhausted lol. Will be using her again!!”
“Angela and Michael took great care of our Molly. We're so grateful for their care and patience with our 14 year old pup! Their communication was prompt and helpful. Angela and Michael provided a wonderful, safe, and supportive environment for Molly.”
“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?”
“Liubov is so sweet and caring with Joey. She has such a calm, loving way with him and always gives him so much extra attention and affection. You can tell she truly treats the pets in her care like they’re her own children, which means so much to us. Joey is comfortable and relaxed with her, and knowing he is being loved on and cared for so well gives us such peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for her and would happily trust Joey with her again!”
“Bailey had a wonderful time staying with you again. She has so much fun with you and bonnie. We drop her off with a wagging tail and return to pick her up just as happy as when we left. You guys are awesome pet sitters!”
“Janet is a lovely woman who took excellent care of Grover while my husband and I were away. She sent us updates and pictures and answered my texts quickly. She was extra patient during our introductory meetings and made sure that our little terrier mix who is normally-wary-of-strangers was comfortable being around her and in her home. I highly recommend Janet and will definitely book with her in the future ☺️”
“Iger was awesome! Took care of our two Labs for a long weekend. One needed some skin medication and pills and Iger had no issues taking care of her. The other, our 11-month-old male, has boundless energy and had a great time in Iger's yard. Both got along well with Whiskey, his dog. Looking forward to having our dogs stay with both of them again! Highly recommend!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Croydon
This sitter has convinced me to stick with Rover instead of kennels/daycares. Our 6 year old pup was loved, cared for, handled properly, safe and kept how we hoped. Her schedules were preserved, her environment was ideal, and Amanda and her family were a dream. Frequent updates, pictures, working with our time zone differences while we were out of country, clarified all concerns I had before and after. I will consistently reach out to Amanda for ALL of our pet sitting needs for as long as she is offering it. She deserves the business and will not disappoint.
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!
Yuliia was kind, caring to my dog and to me as well! We had an emergency the day we were supposed to pick our dog up which meant with very short notice we couldn't get her at the planned time. Yuliia was understanding and was able to have our dog for a couple more hours. It meant so much to us that it did was cared for while we were away. Thank you Yuliia!
I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that she treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly loved during his stay. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur baby—I will definitely be booking with you again in the future! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Croydon on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,270 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Croydon. 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.
94% of Croydon 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 Croydon 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 Croydon 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 Croydon.
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 Croydon 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.
