“Jenifer was amazing with our Goldendoodle Bailey for the 2 weeks we were away! He can be a handful to walk but she had no problem. She went above and beyond during her visits and always kept us updated with pictures and a summary of her visits. We will definitely be using her again on our next vacations.”
“Lydia is just a wonderful, kind, animal lover that I am soooo grateful to have found. She treated my dog like he was her own, she sent me lots of pictures and updates and I could not have asked for a better sitter (at an extremely reasonable price) for my fur baby!!!!!!”
“Tiára was an amazingggg pet sitter for my dog and cats It was my first time having a pet sitter that wasn’t someone I personally knew and she made the entire process so smooth and stress free. She checks in with pictures and updates gives lots of treats and made sure my pets were loved and safe during my vacation 100/10”

About: Hi there! I have experience working with young puppies, adult dogs, and elderly friends. I’ve worked with both high-energy and low-energy dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs with mobility issues. I am so excited to meet your pup and help you out in the process! As a certified dog handler with my local shelter, I’ve received training for safe handling practices, especially with dogs that are new to me. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands. During the summer, I typically work Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:00 pm, so I am available for morning and evening drop-ins/walks only. During the school year, my schedule is more varied: Sundays - available until 11:00 am and after 7:00 pm Monday, Wednesday - available until 8:00 am and after 6:00 pm Tuesday, Thursday - available until 12:00 pm, and after 9:00 pm Friday, Saturday - available all day You can rest assured that I will take the very best care of your pup. I take safety very seriously and will do whatever you prefer for your pet’s needs and comfortability.
“We love Chelsea! She always sends adorable photos and is so detailed on how her visit went. It is so nice to not worry about your fur baby when you are away from home. Chelsea is the best!”
“Dear Makayla, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Christy while we were away. I appreciate your dedication and compassion. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year.”
“Ariana was so sweet and responsive. She took great care of our big sweet boy. He took some pictures too which is nice. We will definitely keep using Ariana for walking Rio. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Steve is fantastic. He is very responsive, reliable, and goes out of his way to be helpful. His obvious love of dogs shines through, and our puppy clearly felt it, too. We have a fear-reactive young pup who up until now has not allowed anyone but family to pet her (including two dog trainers), so I was delighted (and relieved) that she felt comfortable enough with Steve to play with him and even allow him to pet her belly within the first visit. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Christie took wonderful care of Benny and nori while I was out of town. It was my first time leaving them for an extended period of time and she was so diligent, responsive, and loving, even getting to them during a snowstorm. We will absolutely use her again.”
About: Walk time, play time, and snuggle time are all big parts of owning and loving a dog, and happen to be 3 of my favorite things. My 8 year old coonhound mix Wilbur loves to play tug and chase with his BFFs, Chase and Stitch, and would love to meet your pet if you'd like! Not every dog wants play, some need one on one time. I'm here because I love dogs and am in tune with their needs. I pay attention to what they are trying to tell me. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, from mutts to Cairn Terriers to Beagles to Pibulls to St. Bernards, and have yet to find a dog that doesn't like me. Even when their owner said they wouldn't. Even better than that, dogs listen to me inherently and when I come upon a stubborn pup, I know that patience and positive rewards trump everything! Wilbur's BFF Beau was a rescue from animal torturous testing and had many special needs. He was also a flight risk. I dog sat Beau and Lily for 7 years and have learned to never underestimate a Beagle's brain, they will not hesitate to outsmart you. Wilbur grew up with his now deceased BFFs Lily (super mutt) and Beau (Beagle) since he was 3.5 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior pups who need attentive care. Beau and Lily required meds and special diet as they aged and lived their full lives. Thank you and I look forward to adding your pup to my 4-legged friend list! I'm currently working part time, so your pet will easily fit into my schedule. My hours are flexible and my car is reliable, ready to transport a new friend! I have a fenced in yard and gated wrap around porch, as well as 2 beagles (ages 5 and 7), and a medium sized Wilbur (age 8). At your home harnesses and leashes will always be on before any doors are opened. I can crate your dog as well, if you prefer that.

Julia took great care of our senior cat 🐱 Cybil while we were away for the weekend. Julia was on-time for her visits and spent time playing with Cybil and giving her some love and attention. We got lots of photos and communication was great. We were able to enjoy our getaway knowing Cybil was in good hands. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone in need of a pet sitter!
Mackenzie was wonderful once again! She was reliable, communicative, and always arrived right on time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it was clear my cats were happy to see her again! She handled both of their medications without any issues, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in such good hands.
Maggie was absolutely fabulous with our two senior cats who are set in their ways! She was able to coax them out from hiding and they even accepted some pets from her (that’s not an easy task). She left our home neat and clean. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and respectful - Maggie should be your choice!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Downingtown on Rover is $19.98 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,712 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
