About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors, but I also have volunteer as a Day Adventurer at ACCT. This has given me invaluable experience with diverse temperaments and leash-handling for dogs of all sizes. I grew up with dogs, but don’t currently have one of my own. Whether your dog requires a strict crate schedule, specific walk times, or high-energy exercise, I am happy to do whatever they need to feel safe and enjoy their time while your away. Availability: I recently ended employment at Penn as a Project Manger in June and currently enjoying summer- working from home on applications so I am ideally suited for dogs who enjoy a morning and evening "adventure" with a calm midday nap! My apartment is adjacent to park and SRT. I currently work full time as a research project manager at Penn M-F 9-5 with occasional WFH. I am free weekends for adventures with your pup. My apartment is neat and your dog can be free to roam or if has a certain crate schedule happy to follow. Right outside my apartment is a park with lots of green space and close to schuylkill river trail.
“First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !”
“Liam was great! Left my dog for the first time to go on vacation and he sent me multiple texts a day with pictures to assure me things were going smoothly. He was very flexible and accommodating. My dog loved him and will no doubt book with Liam again!”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
“Christin was great with Santos! He seemed so happy to be there. It was apparent that she is a natural dog lover who appreciates different canine personalities. She cared for him during the most trying times of doing so with any dog, involving historic cold weather. And went above and beyond the duty of just 'watching him'. Communication was great and I will not hesitate to use her again”
“Yuiko was great with our pup, Yeti! She sent multiple pictures everyday, which is something we really like. We will definitely send him to her again. He also seemed to have lots of fun with her family and the other pups she was boarding!”
“Robert was a great sitter for our dog, Maggie! He was kept us updated the whole time and even asked if he could use ear cleaner for Maggie when she had an itchy ear! The pictures he sent were amazing, we’ll probably have one framed! Maggie came home happy, healthy and tired ☺️”
“I am so so glad I found Victoria on Rover -- highly recommend if you need a sitter for your animal bb! <33 My dog has some health issues which affect his diet, and is a generally shy / anxious lil guy (like myself), and I can't express how grateful and secure I felt knowing Theo felt safe, cared for, and happy while I was away. Victoria has so much experience and compassion working with animals, and you can absolutely tell by her kindness, attentive care, and communication. I appreciated every message and cute picture of my pup Theo on walks, smiling, and relaxing with Victoria (and Remi, Nova, and Luey!) In addition, I appreciated the add-on booking allowing Victoria to come pick and drop Theo off. The ease of the booking and Victoria being such a lovely sitter eased so much of my mental load and stress of traveling and being away from my pup, and I can't recommend her enough. I think Theo says woof in agreement, since he came back so happy :) This was my first time booking with Victoria but I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter and would love to rebook when I will need one for Theo again :)”
“Olivia was so great with Babaganoush! She was very patient about all his quirks and neediness, and her frequent updates and photos made us feel at ease. So grateful he had a loving place to stay. Thank you Olivia!”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”
“Eric and Raz are our favorite dog sitters. They clearly love and care about our dog and we always feel 100% confident that she is well cared for with them. They give her lots of cuddles and have a good sense of her needs. It’s always a pleasure.”
“Virginia was an amazing Rover for our 2 dogs, Cleo and Louis! They seemed incredibly comfortable and loved in their few days with her. Virginia sent us photos and made sure to keep us updated on how they were doing.”
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have an ESA pitbull mix and we both have some anxiety issues. Together we've come a long way. I don't travel for work much and had a day trip that required an overnight stay for Nico. I reached out to Christine with very little notice (day before) and she agreed to watch Nico for me. Pit bulls very much get a bad rap and I'm so glad and fortunate to have found an advocate of the breed that knows their inherent sweetness, beauty, intelligence and gentle souls.”
“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!”
“Aubrey was awesome with my puppy he is about 4 months old with a ton of energy and still learning but she agreed to watch him with no problem. She sent me reports and pictures every day, answered all my questions, and made sure my pup was doing great. He even had movie night watching 101 Dalmatians!! Would def recommend”
“Olivia and her sweet pup Lorraine took such amazing care of our dog Lavender during his 3-night stay with them! Olivia was incredibly attentive to Lavender’s special care instructions and was great at providing us with daily photos of their adventures together! Lorraine is a very sweet pup and made Lavender feel right at home! Olivia has a fenced back yard and lives right near a big park, so Lavender was able to get plenty of time outdoors which he loves. We enthusiastically recommend Olivia for all of your pup care needs!”
“Rebecca watched my 9 year old Aussie shepherd for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive to her needs and provided lots of updates/pictures during the stay. I was anxious leaving my pup away for so long but Rebecca made my entire trip stress free by how well she cared for my dog! Will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Using Rebecca has been a pleasure. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She sent lots of photos & videos. Made sure she had all the information she needed about my dog. Will use again!”

Both Ruby and Fizz had such a great time with Carismeldi! She does such a wonderful job taking care of them and even made sure my Ruby girl got her medicine even though she didn't want to eat. She does a great job making sure the pups get the attention and care that they need and I am super appreciative :)
First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own.

Dana is a great listener, followed our every expectations & then some. The pictures received didn't even look like the pugs were even over @ another home, which made us feel so relieved & relaxed🥰🤗. You could tell they were really cared for & loved as if they were her owned.
Michell did an excellent job of watching our ten year old dog! Our dog was very happy in his care. They were very attentive, giving him insulin twice a day, and sending daily updates and photos. Our dog scratched himself (not unlike him to do) and Michell cleaned the area, and even went to the store and bought our dog an e-collar to keep him from making it worse. Thanks so much, Michell!
Christine was great! Her communication with me during Bexs stay was comforting considering this was the first time I have left my dog with someone. Christine was caring towards Bex and they both seemed to enjoy their time together. I will definitely consider again if ever I need to have the opportunity.
Saya and David are absolutely incredible pet sitters! They sent us plenty of updates about Cricket’s stay. They also were so wonderfully kind to her; snuggling her, playing fetch, basically treating her like she was their own family member. I’ve never felt so safe leaving my pup before!
Cartier accepted us last minute when our plans changed and quickly set up a meet and greet. She is excellent with communication and super fast with responding. She kept us informed throughout the time we were away with pictures and updates. We have two geriatric, special needs dogs and she handled everything they needed perfectly. We all adore her and would definitely rebook, and highly recommend her.
Tara was so great to work with! I felt comfortable confirming a stay with her as soon as we had the meet and greet with her and her daughter. And then she responded quickly to texts and sent updates with photos throughout the stay. My dog was happy and healthy when I picked her up and wasn’t in any rush to leave :) I hope to be a repeat client.
Khaing saved me and my pussycats, when we all had to leave our house in one day. She came and picked them up and took thoughtful and considerate care of them for a very long time. I got photos and updates on them daily. She discovered new food and snacks for my fussy eater. Although my own life was in chaos, I was happy to see the cats safe and sound. It was a wonderful experience and I recommend Khaing highly.
We’re so grateful for Ms. Patricia! She takes excellent care of Blizz whenever we travel and always gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. She’s attentive, caring, and treats him like family. On our most recent trip, we had unexpected car trouble that delayed our pickup, and she was incredibly understanding and accommodating. We highly recommend Ms. Patricia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!
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.
Chrissy is amazing to work with. I love her home away from home approach. She gathered information and details about Plum's daily routine. Her updates and feedback about Plum were fun and professional. Plum had a fantastic day. I never had to request an update or status. Chrissy sent timely updates. Chrissy is genuinely caring. We are so grateful to have found her.
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.
Deseree took great care of Chloe! She kept me updated with daily photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even let me drop Chloe off the night before so I wouldn’t have to worry about it the morning of my flight. She’s very sweet, and I would definitely trust her to watch Chloe again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 3,381 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Upper Darby. About 89% of Upper 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.
