“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.”
“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 ❤️”
“Hana was very well taken care of and had plenty of play time with Astro. We had some scheduling issues with our flight and Leanne was very willing to work with me on those. We are very happy and would definitely be return customers!”
“Alexandra was So sweet and sent me pictures throughout Teddy’s stay which made me feel at ease. She has two other cute small dogs who are well behaved and welcomed my Teddy with open paws 🐾. Will be using Alexandra again. 🩷”
“Wanda and her family were kind and accommodating while watching my dog Banjo. She ensured he was cared for throughout his stay and made him comfortable while he was anxious during thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks. I would highly recommend Wanda for any and all pet-related needs.”
“Was a great host for Spike, he seemed to have really enjoyed himself. She was great with communication and sending plenty of updates, pictures, and videos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Our pup is always so happy with Lauren and John! They kept him so comfortable during our busy wedding weekend, and let us focus on the family and friends we had in town. We highly recommend their home :)”
“So happy to have found Kathi!! She is so nice and sweet and took the best care of Ziggy. Zig and Cooper got along great and I don't think Ziggy wanted to leave! Lol! Kathi & her family are AWESOME and are for sure our new go to sitter. THANK YOU KATHI!!! :)”
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
“Marisa and her puppy, Maya, made Yoshi feel right at home. Marisa kept me updated with pictures and communicated extremely well. Even though Yoshi was happy to see me, he is a bit sad because am sure he misses his new friend, Maya. I highly recommend this family for your doggy sitting needs!”
“Our dog Henry stayed with Monica and her family again last week. Monica and her family are kind and caring and we know that our dog is well cared for when we are away. This time I think Henry was sad to be going home! He loves the activity and attention he gets at Monica’s house. Would highly recommend Monica.”
About: Hi! I’m Mercedes, a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of pet care experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities! I offer a welcoming, comfortable home with a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, play, and fresh air. Dogs are welcome to get cozy on the furniture, and I love sending photo updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are cared for. I also have two resident cats, so boarding guests must be comfortable around cats or suitable for safe, separate spaces. I prioritize each pet’s individual routine, comfort, and safety! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine! My partner and I both work full-time but have opposite schedules, allowing us to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Pets are typically never left alone for more than five hours. We prioritize regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection. We’re also happy to accommodate weekend, holiday, and last-minute bookings whenever our availability allows! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities! We have a spacious home with a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. Our household includes two adults and two resident cats. We have designated spaces and separate rooms to ensure pets can be safely separated when necessary. We understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so we’re happy to follow their usual routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions. We provide a clean, comfortable environment, plenty of individual attention, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away!
About: From a family of dog lovers, I have always had a dog at home to care for. Growing up, I was the neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter. I love all dogs and have a very flexible schedule! I am currently a teacher on summer break which leaves me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dogs on a schedule that works best for you! I have a friendly and playful dog at home, Murphy who can keep your pup company or be crated if needed. At my apartment we have two gated dog run areas and living downtown provides many fun areas to walk.
“First time I used Borey for dog sitting services and I was very pleased with the whole experience! Mac stayed a week and was definitely well cared for. He had several doggy buddies to play with during the week, Borey sent videos and texts daily, and her family seemed happy to help out with walks, feeding and sleeping arrangements. I loved that Mac was allowed on the beds and furniture…just like home”
“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!!!”
“My dog Pinto can be challenging and this has kept me from getting weekends away where I cannot bring her. Despite Pinto's difficulty with other pets and being tough to walk, Maryori did an amazing job. She stayed in touch all weekend and sent beautiful pictures of her and Pinto out and about so that I felt reassured and able to enjoy my time away!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Croydon is $55

Jaylynn was absolutely amazing with our Australian Shepherd, Leo! He’s full of energy, and she did an amazing job at keeping him busy, entertained, and showered him with sooo much love. She sent us regular pictures and updates, and we could tell he was having the best time with her! Seeing how happy he was put us completely at ease whilst we were on holiday. She genuinely treated him like her own pet, and that means so much to us. After trying so many times to find someone we truly trust and feel comfortable leaving him with, we’re so happy to have found Jaylynn. We couldn’t recommend her enough and can’t wait to book with her again!!
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! 🐾❤️

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 Croydon 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Croydon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
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.
