“Christopher is the best!! I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog Tofu with him. She gets so excited to see him. I know she loves her time with him!”
“Ginger was amazing with Penny! Penny can be a bit anxious when staying with new people but she made her feel right at home from the start. She sent regular updates and made sure she had plenty of exercise. I felt really comfortable leaving penny with her and would highly recommend her to others!”

“I planned a weekend trip last minute and needed a dog sitter and as usual, Angie was available and reliable for my French Bulldog, Goldie. I have used Angie many times for my dog at this point, she is the only one i really trust to watch her.”
“Emelie was the sweetest and most communicative caretaker I could’ve asked for for our little guy. He has some anxiety issues and needed a little extra TLC and that all seemed fine and easily done by this sweet and kind carer. He also got along with her other dogs really well which I’m sure made him feel even more at peace and at home away from home. Highly recommend Emelie for anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their furry family member.”

“We left our puppy for the first time and Brian was great with her/us. He was very communicative and sent us several pictures on her overnight stay which was appreciated on our first night away from her. She also saw snow for the first time while there and Brian videoed it and sent it to us which we really appreciated. Lawson was well cared for and had a great time playing with Brian's dogs.”
“Olivia took incredible care of our pitbull Lavender! We felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands, she was very kind, attentive to Lav’s particular needs, and very communicative throughout the process! Olivia sent us adorable photos of Lavender and her sweet dog Lorraine, and they always looked like they were having so much fun together! I highly recommend Olivia for your pet care needs!”
“Very responsive with sharing of puppy photos and videos that was thoughtful and reassuring. The best part was their cavapoo Gau who played so nicely with puppy. We passed by their place a day after finishing our puppy’s first stay with them, and our puppy really wanted to go back there to play with Gau! Will definitely use them again.”

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!
Appa had a great time at Cartier's house. She was very responsive and made sure to give Appa lots of love. Our dog is normally reserved / apprehensive with people he doesn't know, but they became fast friends. Appa uses an inhaler and Cartier was very helpful in making sure he got his medicine during his stay. When he came home, he was relaxed and his normal self, which is a testament to how welcoming Cartier was.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 3,374 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Upper Darby. About 90% 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.
