“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“My fur baby Jimmy had the opportunity to stay with Khaing for about a week and a half. It was his first time being away from me and he loved it! The daily photos or videos kept me up to date which I very much appreciated, knowing that he was taken care of while I was out of town. Khaing was very accommodating when I asked to extend Jimmy's stay as well, which was a relief for me. I would definitely use Khaing for future stays and recommend that others do too!”
“Juliana is one word..AMAZING!!! I have used rover many of times and have never felt like I found my person until I met Juliana. She says has not been doing this rover thing for long but it sure seems like it. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her overnight. He came back to me the same way i left him. She responds quickly and also sent me plenty of pictures. I am for sure booking with her in the very near future. Thank you Juliana for keeping Melo safe.”
“It was such a pleasure leaving our dog overnight with Rachel and her husband. You can tell what dog-lovers they are! Even though it was only for one night, Rachel sent pictures and videos to keep us updated on the goings on of our pup. It set our minds at ease knowing we could enjoy the holiday without worrying. We’ll be sure to use Rachel again!”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Rhea was great with my pup! She provided regular walks and updates. My fauna is a very picky eater and Rhea was very patient and understanding with her, all around excellent care!”
“I can’t begin to say enough great things about Donte. He handled my pups with great care and made them feel at home for the entire trip. I highly recommend and will book again”

“Stella was so excited to come back and visit Michell’s home again. She literally ran right inside after realizing she was going to have another stay. She came home happy and well cared for. It’s wonderful that we can leave Stella with Michell and know she will be content and loved during times away.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Carismeldi taking care of my dog. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible throughout the entire stay. What I appreciated most was that she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and received lots of attention and affection. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter!”

“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”

Michell and Tiago were so warm and welcoming at our meet and greet; I was instantly at ease. Their communication is incredible- it feels like chatting with a friend! We received picture and narrative updates daily, along with goofy pictures of my pups’ antics. We were traveling internationally for nearly two weeks and never once had to think twice or worry. If I was a more selfish person, I would never leave this review so I could keep Michell and Tiago all to myself. 😂 They are truly special and your pets will receive a vacation the same time you are.
Tamikia was a great sitter for our KODA. Her home is warm and inviting. She is extremely patient and loving towards animals. She sent us several pictures and videos while we were away, to reassure us KODA was in good hands. We will definitely use her again and again. Thank you so much Tamikia 🥰
This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Saya and David were amazing! I had to book a sitter at the last minute, and they made the whole experience stress-free. I have two dogs with very different needs—one is high-energy, and the other is older and has a lot of anxiety—and they did a great job caring for both of them. They were very responsive, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
Barbara was such an amazing host to our puppy Astra! She sent over plenty of pictures and a wonderful video of our pup playing with her dogs. Astra had a great time and came home absolutely exhausted which is a rare sight. Looking forward to booking with her again!
Jennifer is the best dog sitter, we love bringing my dog Nico with her. I know he is going to be cared for when we drop him off and she provides excellent communication and picture updates. Nico is happy to see her always - she is a gem among dog sitters we are so greatful to have found her!
We couldn't be happier with Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Stella, for a weekend stay. We received several updates and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Stella tends to have separation anxiety but immediately settled in with Rachel and came home calm, happy, healthy, and tired from all the playtime. We'll definitely book again!
Jessica was absolutely amazing with Louie! She was kind, sweet, patient, and took great care of him throughout his stay. She also allowed us to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable leaving Louie in her care. What stood out most was how compassionate and understanding she was when we received unfortunate news during our trip. She truly went above and beyond during a very difficult time, and we appreciated her kindness so much. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would gladly book with her again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Upper Darby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,383 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Upper Darby. 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.
93% of Upper Darby 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 Upper Darby 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 Upper Darby 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 Upper Darby.
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 Upper Darby 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.
