“Repeat customer with Bre and she continues to be awesome! My plans changed a lot and she continued to work with me on the day of to fit our schedule. Highly recommend her!”
“I highly, highly recommend Liz to watch your furry loved ones! Liz is excellent at keeping communication and sending pictures along with updating how our pups were doing while we were away. You’re making a mistake if you don’t book Liz, she’s the best and will always use her for our pups!”
About: I grew up with rabbits and various small pets. My first dog, Toto, was trained by me in elementary and middle school. Now, I spend my evenings caring for others animals whenever possible! I work 7:30 am to 3 pm as a teacher! My day does allow for a mid day visit, distance depending! Free every evening for walks and lots of attention! Experienced with crate trained dogs and more free range styles. Love building trust with animals and keeping their days typical and calm while their owners are away!
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!
“Best sitter ever! Very caring for my recently spayed puppy making sure she got her meds and checked her surgical scar for me. Equally as attentive and caring to my second pup! Don’t know what I’d do without her. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it”
About: Care and responsibility for animals were instilled in me from a very young age. I've taken care of dogs since having a Cocker Spaniel when I was 6 years old. As an adult, I have adopted 4 dogs - Cierno (Pitbull), Pumpkin (Staffie mix), Sweet Pea (Boxer - deaf), and Bodhi (newest Staffie mix). I fostered 11 dogs, over the course of 4 years, through Furkid Rescue. I was also a volunteer for Hello Bully for 3 years. Pumpkin served as a PitBull Ambassador, and I cared for and exercised the Pits at their halfway house. All of the dogs in my care have been given everything they need to be healthy and happy pups. I have extensive experience with bully breeds, elderly and deaf dogs. I recently lost my last 2 dogs - Pumpkin (15 years old) and Sweet Pea (12 years old) and added the love of a new puppy, Bodhi, in May 2023. Bodhi would LOVE to have a pup to run around the fenced yard, wrestle and play with. Your dog will be well cared for in my home while you are away! I walk Bodhi before I leave for work at 7 and when I get home at 4. I have a dog walker come M-H at 12:00 to take Bodhi on a 30 minute walk. If you'd like your dog to also be walked, let me know and I'll see if they're open to walking your pup too. Your dog will need to either come with crate or be ok to roam free in a room or the apartment. I don't have children so dogs are the beings that I raise and care for. I have a secured, fenced in, large yard, and a puppy for your dog to play and walk with. Bodhi has lots of toys to share, my pantry is stocked with treats and my house is full of love. Even with a yard, I know the importance of leashed walks so exercise is a priority in my home.
About: In my personal life, I have been in charge of caring for family dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. I have always had the expectation to walk, bathe, play with/exercise, administer medications, clean up after, and love all of my pets, cats and dogs alike! Professionally, I have a combined 2.5 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals including hoof stock, exotic mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and invertebrates from working in both zoological institutions and privately owned barns. I currently work part time from 11am - 5pm on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am available before and after on the days I work. I am also fully available from Monday-Wednesday, and Fridays. I am calm and loving towards all kinds of animals and am able to meet your pet where they are at with interactions. I have worked with a range of pets from skittish to lovey-dovey and am able to give the pet the attention and patience they need.
“Molly is a very caring, thoughtful, and professional young lady! She dropped by to take care of my puppy and always provided sweet updates and photos. She’s very trustworthy and I recommend if anyone needs a pet sitter to choose Molly!”
About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets. I’ve loved animals since I can remember from a very early age. I have one cat personally but take care of three dogs during my off time. No matter how big or small all animals can count on my expertise for the love and care they need and deserve. Currently in between jobs, I have all the free time in the world, I would love to stay with afternoons and nights however over night is no problem with me! I do not have a yard however there is a field that your pups can play in directly in front of my home. I do have a crate if needed as well as my own space for your pups if they need separation. My cat is very friendly and loves to cuddle with all animals but can put him away during your pets stay with me just in case.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have both a dog and a cat for two years at college. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m responsible, patient, active, and attentive to each pet’s needs whether that’s walks, feeding, or simply making them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. As a college athlete, I’m very disciplined, reliable, and used to maintaining routines and schedules. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. currently work part-time online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I exercise daily and love staying active, whether that’s going on runs, long walks, or spending time outside with my own dog, who often comes along with me. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my routine, and I’ll always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, caring, and attentive environment for every pet I look after. I’m very active and spend a lot of time outside walking and running with my own dog, so I’m comfortable handling pets with different energy levels and routines. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free, and I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or specific care requests to keep your pet safe and happy while you’re away.
“This was my first time ever using Rover & I’m so happy that I chose Amanda. First of all, it was a last minute request and she was kind enough to squeeze us in. She took such good care of Peggie & sent the most adorable picture of Peggie. I cannot thank Amanda enough and I will definitely have Amanda watch Peggie every chance I could!”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
About: Our home never feels the same without a dog around. We’ve have raised them all from puppies to seniors. They have created our best memories! I am a teacher, a mom of 3 older children, and I am off all summer. Looking for a fun, enjoyable job in my community. No one will be assisting me with care. We have always focused on spending the time to train our puppies with clear, consistent commands. All have trained quickly & easily, allowing us to enjoy our time walking and playing with them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and did over night visits. For friends and family. I also have taken care of puppies that were 6 months. I’m currently working part time at Costco. I normally work night shift and have two days off. I could walk dogs in the morning or at night I normally feed them twice a day once in the morning and the other at night. I would walk them three or four times a day. I would then take them outside to either play or run around in a safe environment.
About: I’m Mike and I love dogs! I grew up helping my mom train dogs for Guiding Eyes so I have experience with pups of every age, size, breed, and personality! Once I finished grad school, I volunteered at the local rescue organization which inspired me to foster puppies. I have always been a dog lover and this is a great opportunity to give back to my community, all the while meeting new furry friends! In addition to my personal and volunteer experience with dogs, I was a professional dog walker for ‘Reactive Rover’, which was a dog walking service specializing in exercising dogs that are high maintenance, anxious, or had other reactivity issues. I would work to get the pup I was walking comfortable, break down barriers, and work on various greeting skills. This helped my furry pals in addition to broadening my own experience and skills with dogs! When your dog is under my care, my number one priority is to make you both feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. I do that by giving the absolute best customer service possible. I’ll always follow your instructions to a “T” to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety. After all, no one knows your dog better than you do! We’ll always do what makes them the most happy, and I’m happy to go the extra mile for any pooch. Likewise, I love sending daily updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! I’m always just a phone call away and can be reached any time in case any concerns or questions arise. I split time between Malvern, PA and Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. There are many parks around both locations! There is plenty of walking and green space as well around. My girlfriend Kristina is an avid dog lover and shows as much care and affection as I do anytime we care for someone’s beloved dog! We also volunteer at All 4 Paws Rescue in Malvern, PA! When I’m not pet sitting, I love playing sports, whether it be basketball at my gym or tennis outside! The beach is also a must during warmer weather. Your pup would be welcome to join me on any of these adventures! If I’m not outside being active, I am always spending time with my friends, going out to dinner, seeing a movie, or taking in a show. I also love lounging at my apartment on the couch with a good book/tv show! I work a hybrid role so many times I am working from home and when I do have to head out for meetings it is few and far between and my gf Kristina is always there to assist! In Malvern I have a small balcony but there is a gated dog park that is included in the complex - in Philadelphia we do not have a yard but are very close to Rittenhouse Square, Schuykill River Park, and many others!

Caroline was fantastic! She took very good care of our three cats and our dog. There were no issues and she sent great pictures of our pets after every visit. Communication was great and she provided detailed updates each visit. We were very comfortable and pleased with Caroline taking care of our pets! Thanks!
Karen was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She is reliable, caring and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dogs were so well cared for and I could see how happy and content they were in the photos! Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Chester stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Chester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
