Erin was the best. She was responsive from the start and came to meet our boy before we booked so we could make sure he’d be comfortable with her. She took great care of our boy while we were away for a few days. We could enjoy our time worry-free knowing our pup was in good hands.

Kailyn is amazing!! We left our kitties in her care for 9 days, and she took the best care of them! She was very professional and communicated extremely well! There was a snow storm when we were away, and she was great at keeping us updated on road closures and travel difficulties! I would recommend her to anyone who needs their cats or dogs taken care of! We plan on using her services in the future! Our kitties will miss seeing her daily!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I worked at a Dog Kennel for 6 years. I would typically take care of 20+ dogs by myself. I am comfortable with all types of dogs at any age! From scared old pups to crazy hyper pups! I have taken care of dogs that were over 15 years old who couldn’t walk and puppies who were trying to eat everything they saw. I know my way with dogs pretty well and I’ve never met a dog that I couldn’t handle. My schedule is currently only open after 5pm Monday through Friday and any time on the weekends! I am able to do walk in to check on the pups and walks! I always try to get to know the owner and dog before taking care of the pup or staying in the clients home. I prefer meeting both client and dog about a week before starting to take care of the pups just so everyone is comfortable!

About: Hi, I’m Michaela! I provide reliable, consistent care for pets, with a focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Being a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away. I specialize in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and also offer limited boarding. Whether it’s a daily walk, a quick check-in, or overnight care, I take the time to understand your pet’s routine and make sure everything feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy and playful to more relaxed or shy, and I always adjust my approach to fit each pet. I keep my days structured yet flexible so I can reliably show up for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m intentional about planning my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure each visit gets my full attention. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I build my schedule to stay consistent and dependable. Because of this, I’m able to provide a calm, reliable experience for both pets and their owners, keeping routines consistent and making sure each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. I try to keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for your pet while they’re at home. I’ll follow their usual routine closely, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or any little habits they’re used to. I make sure they get a lot of attention and care based on their personality. If they’re energetic, we’ll get some good playtime or walks in, and if they’re more relaxed or a little shy, I’ll keep things calm and go at their pace. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and organized. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is happy and in good hands!

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the beginning of my adult life. My family dog I trained as a puppy, learning the acute patience required to not only train a reactive dog but give a reactive dog the care and companionship she deserves. From this, I learned how to walk, feed, train, bathe, and even groom pets all in attempt to give my dog the best life she deserves. I’m currently a graduate student at IU, so I’m always free to walk your pups in the morning or evening! I have great weekend availability from Friday to Sunday, meaning you can take those short trips without the added stress of finding a pet friendly hotel! Dogs need exercise to live a full and happy life! My idea of walking and sitting is making sure your pup is active and healthy, whether that means going for long walks or playing fetch in the park. I have experience with reactive dogs, so depending on your dog, I can make adjustments to the walks I take that is safe for both the dog and other people as well.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Downingtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Downingtown on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 8,366 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Downingtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. 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 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. 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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Downingtown. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
