“Stephen is kind, prompt and really seemed to care about my aging dog Max. He had to give him an injection and several medication’s each visit. As long as you give him good instructions he’ll follow them to the “T”. Highly recommended.”
“I seriously could not recommend someone more than laura. She has been so amazing and attentive with scout. Scout doesn't do well alone but we are trying to work on that and she has done such a great job. She takes the best care of him and has become a best buddy to scout. I am booking her for the rest of my semester to help out with my baby and recommend her to EVERYONE!!”

“Elise is very conscientious and knowledgeable about cats. She fed my kitties twice a day for several days. When she walked in the door she immediately extended her had to greet each cat for a sniff, different from greeting a dog. They were impressed. My 5 yr. old is not great with strangers; my 1 yr. old is great with strangers. She treated each accordingly. The young one was very enthusiastic about her visits. I would definitely have her back again.”
“Emma was great with Nemo and Aria! I’m always a little nervous leaving them, but she made it easy and stress free. She kept me posted the whole time and took excellent care of them both. I want to also call out how she was very accommodating with the short notice.”
“Michaela is awesome! She took care of my cat while I was away. She made time for feeding, play, and cuddles during every visit. The peace of mind I had knowing that she was taking such good care of my boy was priceless. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs, grew up around Saint Bernards, and both my parents to this day still have 2+ dogs. Loved them my whole life.

I’m going to prioritize the dogs care and the clients home as if they were my own. I love dogs and will be very respectful!

About: I grew up with dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. I love being an aunt to so many cute animals and pet sitting for my friends and family. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available to give your fur kids some company and a midday break most weekdays between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and timing whenever possible. Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any house rules or special routines. I know every pet has their own personality and comfort level, so I’m happy to give them lots of attention and affection, or plenty of space to warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine.
About: I've had cats all my life and I've taken care of dozens of different cats! I've adopted pets from shelters, friends who found kittens, and right off the side of the road!

I've provided pet care for family members on vacations, my grandmother while recovering from a broken bone, friends at work who needed a drop in visit, and more.

“Gina did a great job with my pups on short notice. She figured everything out with my directions and let me relax and have fun with my friends. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs through extended stays—one for over two months and another for about two weeks. These experiences helped me gain hands-on knowledge in feeding, walking, maintaining hygiene, and providing loving companionship. I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and committed to making dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in their home environment. Pet care easily fits into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and make them a priority. I’m flexible with my schedule as I am currently not working and can accommodate daily walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I’m happy to adjust to meet the needs of the pet and maintain consistency in their routine. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks and outdoor play. I follow the pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding on time, giving medication if needed, or just spending quality time playing and bonding. Cleanliness is a priority for me, and I always ensure their space is fresh, tidy, and stress-free.

I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my two pups! Jenifer was attentive and responsive the entire weekend, keeping me updated and giving me total peace of mind while I was away. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious she genuinely loves what she does. I'll definitely be booking her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets.
I was surprised with the level of experience that Juliana had with dogs when we did our meet and greet. She was very engaging and clearly had a great connection with our pets. Will definitely plan to keep working with her in the future. I would strongly recommend
Brady did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! He visited 3 times a day and sent reports and pictures each day. His communication was awesome! Knowing that our pets were in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! We look forward to having him help with our girls again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I traveled to Chicago for weekend and needed someone to take care of my dog Tori. Xinyue was quick to response to my request for dog visiting. Thanks God that Xinyue living at the same apartment complex. Xinyue took care of Tori well and walked Tori for olayed with Tori while I was away. Tori was very happy thanks to Xinyue.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Downingtown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Downingtown 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.

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 Downingtown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
