“Zenith cared for my dog from February 19–22, and I am so grateful for her. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent sweet updates, photos, and videos that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear she treated him with genuine love and care, just like I would. I never once worried while I was away. I would happily book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pup.”
“This was my families first time using rover as my family needed urgent boarding for our babies Kayla and Khole. This was their first time being away from us and they are both very shy. Despite this Andreah A was very pleasant, responsive, understanding and she did her best to accommodate what our babies needed during their stay. I appreciated all of her wonderful pictures and updates of both of our babies during the time we were apart. I'm definitely looking forward to booking with Andreah very soon. Andreah thank you so much for the last minute booking and the wonderful care of our little Khole and Kayla.”
“Tony is my standard pet sitter for Nova! He sends pictures and videos throughout her stay and she loves to play with the small pups he owns. She will be back! Thanks Tony!”
“Casta was very well cared for and I am sure she thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Andres and two other canine friends at the home. Andres kept me updated throughout the stay on how Casta was getting along and fitting in with the group. We will definitely use Andres again for future boarding.”
“Eric was the BEST! I went international for 10 days and never had to worry. Joey came back happy and I knew he was loved. Thank you, Eric! Consider yourself added to my Rover rolodex. :)”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. 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.”
“We had a great experience boarding with Leah. We arranged a meet and greet prior which was helpful for me and my husband and probably our dog Maggie. Leah was a good communicator and flexible. I feel like she took good care of Maggie and that her dogs were good companions and helped Maggie pass the time playing. I’m not sure our dog missed us at all. Thank you Leah and family.”
“This is the second time I am leaving my pet dog Shiba Inu (Mo) with Yuiko. We received photos everyday and Yuiko is the very best, she really too care of Mo and played with him a lot and he always returns back a happy dog! i will not leave Mo with anyone else.”
“Christine did a great job with my nervous dog Mochi especially since this was our first time leaving Mochi with anyone. Thank you Christine for your special care of Mochi and look forward to bringing Mochi over again!”
“We would 100% rebook with Christin! Everything was so smooth and friendly that we know that Finn had an amazing time. Loads of updates and super fast communication. Thanks again for taking in Finn :)”
“This was my second time having Stephanie and her partner watch Clowe, and I could not be happier! Stephanie is a great communicator, and always available. My pup can’t wait to hang there again! Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I always knew I wanted to work with animals, but it wasn’t until I started working at a kennel that I discovered my true calling: dog training. In September 2023, I made the decision to pursue this path seriously by attending National K-9 Dog Training School in Ohio, where I earned my certification as a professional dog trainer. Now, I’m proud to turn that passion into a career. I’m deeply committed to helping dogs and their owners build strong, respectful relationships, and I love sharing my training methods to make a positive impact on both ends of the leash. I’m trying to get my small business out into the world and taking small steps like this will help me! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I'm available for boarding and weekdays. My schedule with my part time job changes each week but I make sure to let my clients know! I will ALWAYS be talking to your fur baby! They become family once entering this home. I currently live in an apartment that has a designated area to bring your dog to have fun off leash!
“Jackie was just wonderful with our four year old Toller. She was responsive, flexible, and very good with dogs. Upon first meeting, our Toller clearly felt comfortable with Jackie. We used her services for boarding, but would highly recommend her for walks or house sitting as well. Our children loved getting pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would use again!”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Ben was so great!! Took amazing care of my baby doodle and sent multiple updates. He was always available if I had questions. He was so friendly and clearly cared for my dog as if it was his own. I will definitely use again!!”
“The best dog sitter ever!! Tofu always has the best time with christoper and his family. She is always so excited to see him when she goes to stay!”

There is not enough good things I can say about the care that Juliana showed Meek. She is warm and friendly and Meek sensed it immediately and was comfortable in her care. I received updates and pictures of daily walks and time spent in her home. Juliana is so wonderful with communication that make you feel so comfortable that your pup is safe, having fun and in a happy home. We will definitely be using her again many times over. Thank you Juliana!!!
Aimee was an excellent dog sitter! She was incredibly caring and attentive, always quick to respond to any questions or requests. Aimee adapted to our dog's needs with ease, ensuring Bella was well-cared for and happy. We also appreciated the regular updates and pictures she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Aimee for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!
Andreah (and her Mother) are Awesome!! Extremely caring and sweet and provided our cherished Buddy a warm and comfortable stay while we were down the shore!! She sent us updates with pictures on a daily basis, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be utilizing her services again! Strongly recommend.
I used Shelby and Robbie for a last minute trip and was so thankful they were able to take My dog Miles. From beginning to end they made it so easy to communicate and followed up on how miles was doing without me having to ask. Miles had a great time, I would definitely use them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Swarthmore on Rover is $111 per night (as of July 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 3,425 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Swarthmore. About 89% of Swarthmore 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.
