“Jessica is the best! Our dog Mochi has stayed with her several times now and enjoys each visit so much. She is professional, easy to communicate with, and super reliable. Highly recommend!”
“This was Finn's first time staying with Roxanne and he came home happy and tired! I appreciated Roxanne keeping me posted on how he was doing and taking such good care of my furry baby!”
“Eliza was great with my dog! She allowed us to do a meet up first so that my nervous dog could get comfortable. She was also communicated with me throughout her stay, including lots of pictures! I would highly recommend her!”
“Emily and Christine were fantastic. Our dog had a great time and was very well taken care of. Birdie seemed to really like them and their dog, Lilo. We will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Jennifer & her family took the best care of my dog, Luigi. Jennifer kept me updated daily about how Luigi was doing at her home with photos and any updates from that day. I truly appreciated how communicative she was with me during his stay. Her home is honestly the best set up for dog boarding and she did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. Her yard has a great space for dogs to let their energy out and she has dogs, cats and rabbits (along with other animals) that my dog got to interact with during his stay. Luigi had a blast with Jennifer and her family and I am certain he can’t wait to visit them again. I highly recommend Jennifer’s boarding service and will certainly be seeing her again for another boarding!”
“John did such a good job with my dog Paris. He really went above and beyond. He sent great updates throughout the day, everyday and made sure Paris was always having a great time. Would definitely book again!”
“It’s clear how much Maxime cares about dogs and made mine feel right at home. Thanks for giving Emma a relaxing and fun vacation! 😊 She came home happy and settled.”
“Kona always has a great time with Erika! Erika sends pictures and updates to let us know our pup is getting cuddles and belly rubs while we’re gone.”
“Shakira was absolutely amazing with Keema! From the start, she was kind, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pup in her care. Keema came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved, which says everything. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine care she showed throughout the stay. It’s such a relief finding someone I can fully trust with my dog. We’ll definitely be booking with Shakira again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Chelsea offered great care for our dog Bubba. She was very attentive as he adapted. She is an excellent communicator. She does well with sending updates and pictures and just putting you at ease. I would highly recommend her services.”
“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“Bri took great care of our Luna. Luna can be a bit anxious in new situations and Bri handled this so well and accommodated her needs. Luna also can prefer humans over dogs and wants to be a lapdog and Bri let her hangout with her and sent lots of updates. We will definitely be back!”
“Rhyeshona took exceptional care of my injured pup while I was away for a week. She gave very thorough updates every day with pictures, which gave me assurance that my pet was in good hands. I would not hesitate to hire her again for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also had ferrets and a snake as pets. There was a period of time where, I had 3 dogs of my own at the same time. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs. I am a nurse that works from home full-time therefore, your pet will have companionship throughout the day. I will enjoy having the company of your pet while I am working as well. I have administered medications to animals as directed by pet owners and veterinarians. I am able to administer oral and topical medications. I have confidently cared for recently spayed/neutered animals. I am experienced in puppy potty/feeding routines, crate training as well as positive reinforcement with or without treats. While caring for your family’s fur baby, I will treat them like family and as directed per your wishes. I will attempt to adhere to their routines to make the transition of not being at home easier for them. There will be plenty of built in time for attention, potty breaks and playtime. Your furbaby will be made to feel at home here. I will make every attempt to adhere to their home routine as much as possible to lessen the stress of this transition. I have a small unfenced grassy area that is available for quick potty breaks. For exercise and the longer potty breaks, we would go on walks through the neighborhood. I currently walk approximately 2 miles (weather permitting) for my own physical fitness therefore if your pup is willing and able, I would love the company. Typically, when I have watched friends and family's dogs we took walks 3 times a day. There will always be room for other accommodations if more or less walking is needed. I will ensure that your pet is safe and comfy while they sleep at night and rest during the day. There is a clean doggy bed and plenty of blankets to choose from if laying on the floor as I have hardwood floors. Please feel free to bring and favorite toys or advise of any activities that your pet enjoys as it is my goal to make them feel at home. My home gets the morning and afternoon sun though the large front window which provides a space for your pet to sunbathe if they so choose. There is also a sitting windowsill for them to enjoy some outside activity with the safety of being indoors. As previously stated, I have a small, unfenced yard available for quick potty breaks. For dogs, majority of their bathroom breaks will be walks depending on their energy and activity level. For visiting kitty's the litter box will likely be placed in my semi-finished basement unless other stipulations are discussed. Your kitty will be lovingly guided to the litter box to get acclimated to it's whereabout. I will provide the desired updates, pictures and communicate any issue timely so that you can feel at ease that your beloved pet is being well cared for. As a previous pet owner, I understand the worries of handing your beloved pet over to someone to care for them as you do. I assure you that your pet will be well loved and cared for here.
“Chloe is an amazing dog sitter as always. Gus is always so happy to see her and I love her daily updates. I know my dog is in the best of hands with her!”
“Travis was very responsive setting up the appointment and incredibly caring for our dachshund Louie. Sent lots of pics and Louie seemed a bit sad to leave! Would definitely come back to Travis.”
“Zucc absolutely loves Jennifer. He gets excited whenever he sees her and that is the sign of an outstanding sitter. Jennifer is communicative, kind, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better sitter”
“My dog was so happy to stay with Annyah when we had to leave the city. Annyah shared photos of my dog while I was away and I could tell she was relaxed, happy and felt cared for. When I took my dog back a second time, she was able to lead me straight to Annyah’s house! I would definitely love to have my dog stay with Annyah again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Darby
Christine was a great caretaker for our deaf 11 year old hound mix over a long weekend. Christine helped Georgia settle in to unfamiliar surroundings. She is warm and comforting and clearly has lots of experience with and loves dogs. We will use her again without hesitation.
We had such a great experience with Tamikia! We appreciate her amazing communication, flexibility, and overall kind nature for our sweet Milo. We can tell she truly love and care for Milo just as much as we do. She also sent picture updates of how he was doing, which helped us feel so at ease knowing that he was having a fun time. Our dog can be highly energetic, but we can tell he had a great time playing all day because as soon as we got home he went straight to bed lol! 10/10 would recommend.
We have greatly benefited from having Jennifer S. provide Boarding services for our two Australian Labradoodles. She delivered outstanding care for our furry children, including regular walks and playing fetch with a ball, as she is extremely thorough and meticulous in meeting all of their needs. All of the members of her family create a warm and loving environment in which our pets are always relaxed and thriving. We loved receiving daily photos of our pooches looking happy, resting peacefully, and enjoying time outdoors. Accordingly, we highly and unreservedly recommend Jennifer S. for all your Boarding and Doggy Day Care needs.
Alexandra took great cate of my senior dog Momo for 9 nights. Alexandra and her family are so lovely and had a great home and yard for my dog to enjoy. I appreciated Alexandra’s updates and photos, and I felt at ease during my whole trip. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning! Thanks Alexandra!
Scott was wonderful and my dog had the best time with him and his posse of dogs! The other dogs he was watching at the time were very friendly and Scott did a great job introducing them and making sure they were comfortable together. He sent lots of pics during the stay and I know my dog had unbelievable attention, exercise and love! We can’t wait to go away again so we can send Hoagie to his new favorite place!
This was my first time ever using this service, so of course I was a little nervous at first! Deseree made it so easy! everything went so smoothly! she took such great cate of my puppy Kane while I was out of town! she filled me in daily with pictures! she took Kane on multiple daily walks he was such a happy boy when I picked him up! I cant thank her enough! I will definitely rebook with her over and over again!
I had no doubt upon our first meeting that Dakota would have a very comfortable loving stay with Chrissy. She sent a ton of pictures and videos along the way, which was super nice to get while traveling so far away! I can’t wait for Chrissy and Dakota to hang out again! No
Marci is the best! She’s so kind, gentle, and was amazing with my cats. I truly felt so secure and at peace knowing she was watching my babies. She’s communicative, careful with your cats, and treats them as your own. She’s also really knowledgeable. I know my cats felt safe and happy being in her care. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch my cats. If you’re looking for a safe sitter, and a safe space, I highly recommend Marci!
Tara took good care of my boy for 5 days. He doesnt take to everyone and it had been 2 years since the last time he needed a sitter so Tara allowed 2 meet and greets to make sure it was a good fit. She eased my mind with updates and pics and shared that he followed her around so I knew he took to her. He was in happy spirits when I picked him up. I could tell it was a good stay for him which made me very happy.
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 !
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.
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!
