“Very pleased with Cassandra and her services. My dog loves when Cassandra stops by for a walk! Love the updates and photos too. Would definitely recommend Cassandra.”
“Cara is the BEST! My buddy Apollo is always happy to see her because he knows he’s going for his walk that he loves. Cara is always pleasant, great with Apollo and has concern for his welfare whether it’s too hot, if he can have a treat, or if he pooped haha! Cara rules!”
“Alana was fantastic. She helped us out on short notice around the holidays and she was amazing with our dog and cat. She was super friendly and accommodating, and our pets took to her right away. We definitely recommend her.”
“Dante was great! It is our first time with a dog walker and he was wonderful about the lock box/entering the apartment. Suzy gets nervous around new people sometimes and it seems like she did great with him.”

“Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Jordan is patient and kind when working with my dog. She is punctual and flexible if you need her to be. I have already booked her for another walk and will continue to do so in the future.”
“Linda is nothing short of a saint! Always timely and communicative, she is the gold standard by which all animal care providers should strive to meet. I’d give her ten stars if I could!”
About: I have been dog sitting for neighbors and family friends for years! I have done overnights, quick day care, and variety of trip needs! I love taking my own dogs for walks, as well as play and chill with them, so always treat others dogs like my own! I’ve worked with puppies, elder, and multiple dogs at once! I have recommendations from past experiences upon request! As of now, I offer assistance within West Chester, Glen Mills, Wilmington areas (and open to more locations), but am moving to Boston August 2! My routine can vary by request of the owner! In prior experience, I have worked part time and full time, ensuring the dog is let out multiple times a day, as well as fed. I want to make sure the dogs routine isn’t affected once their owner leaves! Our dogs have electric shock fences, but once let out, I still watch them to make sure they use the bathroom or get out loose somehow. I take my dog for walks 2-3 times a day, all varying in time and distance, but make sure they are getting their exercise and time outside (when weather permits)!
“Maya was amazing! I needed last minute help with my five year old pup. She communicated daily how each walk went with photos and descriptions! She was so patient with my father who was at the house as well. Couldn’t recommend Maya enough! Max is looking forward to her next visit soon!!!”
About: Welcome to Aaron’s Boarding, a 4 bedroom ranch house on an acre of land that includes a private fenced in yard for lots of activities and play. We are pleased to announce that we now offer dog walking and hourly yard rental through SniffSpot, Melanie’s Play yard. My team and I have taken care of over 100 foster and boarder dogs including the SCPA and training service dogs. We’ve cared for moms with litters of 10 puppies, young adult, adult, senior, special needs including diabetes and all types of physical disabilities. We have been boarding dogs since April 2020. We are able to take dogs up to 65 pounds and any dogs over 65 pounds will be considered if trained well, Rover just doesn’t have a setting to say that. Most of our clients choose us because we offer private boarding for their dog only. However, our business has grown, and we now accept a maximum of 3 dogs. The dogs can either come from the same home or they are friends or we sometimes negotiate a cross board through a meet and greet. We have a highly desirable environment due to not having any dogs, cats, or small children. We provide bowls and crates. Bring dog beds, food, treats, bones and toys. We do not provide those. We are a team of 3 with 24 hour service. IMPORTANT!!! We only board dogs. Dogs must be crate trained. We only accept dogs that sleep in a crate at night. No exceptions. We only take dogs that are microchipped and spayed/neutered. All new dogs are required to have a meet and greet before being accepted for boarding. Any potential cross boarding is approved through a meet and greet between families. We look forward to keeping your furry friends safe while you are away. We only take puppies older than 16 weeks and they must be house trained, crate trained, don’t jump or bite and sleep through the night. Don’t forget to use my promo code if this is your first time using Rover to save $20 on your first booking https://www.rover.com/sit/aaronp13595 Aaron's boarding is a full time family run business with a total of 3 trained adults. We are 3 trained adults with years of experience. Our home is safe for dogs, they have full run of the house and are walked on a leash on our property as well as in the neighborhood. We are happy to take car rides, and they would get plenty of snuggles and playtime. I have loved dogs my whole life and enjoy looking after them and their different personalities, I look forward to meeting with you and your dogs. Please Note: We are unable to board medium to high shedding dogs such as German Shepherds, Huskies, Akitas and similar breed. If they are a mixed breed please contact me for additional information.
“Alex has walked my puppy for over a month now, and she has been great. First, Bowie is always very excited to see her so I can tell that they have connected and have a good relationship. Second, Alex is very responsible. She is on time day in and day out, and on those few instances when she could not work on a day or would be late, Alex communicated that ahead of time so I could make alternative plans, if needed. And finally, Alex has been terrific with suggestions about my puppy’s health and related issues, without trying to force the issue or be pushy. I greatly appreciate her suggestions and help with my pup.”
“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
About: My love for animals of all kinds began in 6th grade and has only become more expansive as I have continued to care for the pets of my friends and neighbors. My senior dog is almost 18 years young so I am well versed in going above and beyond! As an educator my timing is flexible, especially for summer! I am looking to help families as another Rover.com pet sitter helped us with our senior dog. I will work with your dog's needs so that you are comfortable leaving and know that I am dedicated to keeping your pet happy and healthy. I have a lot of experience with keeping dogs who miss their families happy! As someone who teaches tiny humans I have a lot of experience in building trust. I know that some dogs have anxiety and I look to you in learning your dog's preferences and individual needs!
About: I understand how important it is to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I am a pediatric nurse as well, and would like to provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, and medication administration while you are away. I have volunteered at a golden retriever rescue in Lancaster, and have experience with large dogs. I treat every pet like they're my own and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I volunteer at my local SPCA as soon as I turned 14, and have had labs and golden retrievers in my adult life. I currently take my black lab to the dog park, hikes, car rides, and know how important it is to give them attention when their family is away. I also am a very confident walker with large dogs or dogs that pull on the leash. I am a pediatric nurse at an hospital, and work 3 days a week. I have one daughter who is now a teenager, and I am finding myself with more spare time. I would like to care for animals on my downtime during the week/weekends. I live in a large walkable neighborhood with sidewalks. I do have a black dog that has been going to dog parks since he was a puppy, and he enjoys other dogs. I will absolutely allow your dog to sleep in my bed, and will give them constant attention. My house backs up to the woods, and I would love to take them for walks out there as well.

Joy is amazing! Joy signed on to take care of my mom’s dog during a recent illness. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met her. She is someone both people and pets feel totally comfortable around. Joy was communicative, flexible, responsive, kind, and completely reliable. And she clearly loves dogs! We feel lucky to have found our way to her and to have developed an ongoing caretaking relationship. Highly recommend!!
Maya was amazing! I needed last minute help with my five year old pup. She communicated daily how each walk went with photos and descriptions! She was so patient with my father who was at the house as well. Couldn’t recommend Maya enough! Max is looking forward to her next visit soon!!!
Jen's open communication throughout the process of booking her to walk my dog and on the day of the walk were very much appreciated. She took pictures on the day, as well, which helped me to see that Ginger was being cared for well. It gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book her again the next time I need someone to take care of my dog.
