“Jessica is absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! I have a quirky senior dog and Jessica takes such great care of her and I can tell she loves on my dog like she’s her own. Jessica asks all the right questions and is a great communicator, she always checks in and sends the best pictures. My schedule can sometimes be fluid while I’m away traveling and Jessica is beyond accommodating when it comes to pick up and drop off times. I have booked with Jessica 3 times now and will continue to book with her as much as I can!”

She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Junebug is well loved and taken care of at Nicole's house! Our dog is a high energy puppy and was in very good hands as Nicole is an experienced dog lover, and even helped Junebug learn to calm down a little better in the evenings. She came back acting more mature than when we dropped her off:) ”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Darby
I was very happy with Mario!He's a gem! He did everything he could to make sure my 2 dogs Poc and Poki were comfortable! They were so relaxed when I arrived to get them. Poki can be anxious at times but with Mario he was not anxious! I am hoping to have Mario watch them again in 2 weeks because he took such good care of them!

I would highly recommend Tamikia! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I had to change my dates multiple times. She was always understanding, communicative, and willing to work with my schedule, which made a potentially stressful situation so much easier. My Yorkies were in great hands. She clearly treated my pets who all have anxiety with love and kindness. I really appreciated her professionalism and patience throughout the entire process. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Thank you for taking such great care of our dog while we were on vacation! Rachel and her husband are wonderful sitters! Without fail, we received pictures and/or videos daily, letting us know that Winston was doing well and having a good time. We look forward to continuing the relationship with Rachel and her husband in the future.

I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Ms. Pat and family are Excellent sitters! They were very communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos while we were away. It was clear our Blizzard was well cared for and loved. We truly appreciated their attentiveness and will definitely book with them again for future trips!

This was our dog Ollie’s third time with Alice and not only was he in great hands with her, we were also so grateful for her flexibility with our ever adjusting schedule. It’s hard leaving your pup behind, even for a short while but it helps so much to have someone reliable, professional, and flexible! Thanks again Alice!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Darby on Rover is $49.03 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,360 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Darby. About 90% of Darby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
