“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Lorraine did an excellent job taking care of our dog for a week! Our dog is rescue who has been with us for just a year so we were nervous about his first separation, but his stay with Lorraine was wonderful. She provided daily updates, photos and kept our pup on his schedule. After his stay, he adjusted back home without any trouble. We definitely recommend Lorraine and would rebook with her in the future.”
“Meagen did a fantastic job sitting our puppy and was able to give me peace of mind that he was well watched. Overall experience was a 10/10 and would seriously consider hiring Meagen again”
“Oh my goodness!!! We can't possibly say enough good things about Megan and Vitaliy!! What a wonderful and truly caring couple! They treated our pup Maltese Sparky like he was their own and even had two small dogs for him to play with so he was like their long lost puppy cousin 🤣🥰 They were so sweet and responsive, constantly sending pictures and so quick to reply. We felt so comfortable with them watching him!! We couldn't have been more grateful for their kindness! I would recommend them 100 times over to anyone! 100 stars 🌟 🩷🌟🩷🌟🩷🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“We left our yorkie, Richie with Julia for over a week and Julia took great care of Richie, took him on regular long walks, shared pictures and videos of Richie and ensured that he ate well and kept him comfortable in her home. Thanks to Julia we were worry free about Richie on our vacation”
About: My hands-on pet care experience comes from being a dedicated dog mom to three wonderful dogs. I currently care for a 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Dash and a 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Bubba giving me experience with both senior dogs and younger, energetic breeds. We recently lost our 14 year old Maltese, Ice T to heart failure, he fought hard and strong for 3 years. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and recognizing the unique needs that come with aging pets, including maintaining routines, administering medications when needed, and providing extra comfort and attention. At the same time, my Goldendoodle keeps me active with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, from senior dogs to active younger dogs. On weekdays, I'm typically available in the mornings, during lunch, and throughout the evening. Weekends are generally open, allowing me to provide additional playtime, exercise, and one-on-one attention. I only take one pet at a time so I can ensure each dog receives personalized care, supervision, and lots of love while their family is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs and active breeds. My home features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods and receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for during their stay.
“Neetika took very good care of our puppy for a week while we were on vacation. The sending of daily updates and photos was so appreciated, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time away without worry. I would recommend Neetika, she has a loving family and her own pup who I know our Khloe enjoyed playing with in-between napping.”
“Catherine took such great care of my two dogs that it felt like they had a vacation of their own! She was very responsive, caring, and patient, sending daily pictures and updates. My dogs got plenty of exercise and enjoyed lots of new experiences. Highly recommended!”
“Dolly is wonderful with my dog Roxy. She takes off a long walks football games and sends me regular pictures and updates. Doesn’t she remembers to give her her medicine Roxy comes back home happy and healthy.”
“Wonderful! My shih tzu was very well cared for and had a great time with Ami & James. Excellent communication and photos throughout the stay. It is obvious they love dogs, and treat their visitors like their own. We will definitely be sending Frankie for future visits.”
“Curtis was absolutely wonderful with Rosie! He was kind, dependable, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in his care while we were away. Rosie was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when we picked her up. Curtis treated her like part of his own family, and that peace of mind meant so much to us. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely book with Curtis again!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Alyssa! Our two doggos, Ava and Peyton, are two very unique pitties. Ava is 10 and is a nervous Nel who just likes to cuddle up and relax. Peyton is almost 3 and more like a wreck it Ralph. As worried as I was that Peyton would destroy their home or that Ava would have a heart attack, they ended up loving their stay! Not only that, but I could tell that they got exactly what they needed from Alyssa and her family because when we got home, Ava and Pey were spent. Alyssa always remained in contact with me and answered all my questions and accommodated a last minute request. Thanks, Alyssa!!!”
“Lily is absolutely amazing. She treats our Charlie like family. She’s reasonable and listens to your questions and concerns. We absolutely love her! Thank you Lily for treating our Charlie as your own”

Lori took great care of my little Pomeranian while I was away on a family vacation. My dog had a great time and seeing the sweet look in his eyes as he said his goodbyes to Lori spoke volumes. While my dog is an easy keeper, he likes to be babied. Lori and her kids gave my little diva-boy all the attention he craved. I'd give Lori 6 six out of five stars if I could! Thanks, Lori. You are a delight!
This was Theo’s first time using Rover and his first extended stay away from us, so we were naturally nervous. Bart made the entire experience so much easier with regular updates and great communication, which gave us real peace of mind. Theo settled in well, got along with the other pets and kids, and came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found Bart and wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with Theo again. Thank you, Bart!
This was our first time using Lorraine and Rover. We couldn't have found a better person to watch our senior pooch. From our first meeting, we felt our girl was in a safe healthy environment and Lorraine was a caring, reliable sitter. Over the 2 week stay, Lorraine sent updates and pictures showing a contended, happy pooch. We highly recommend Lorraine. A+

95% of Downingtown sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Downingtown landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Downingtown home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Downingtown.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Downingtown sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
