“Erin was absolutely phenomenal with our two cats. Both of them took to her quicker than anyone I've seen before! She was incredibly attentive and always made sure the cats had ample playtime, food, and water. We'll be happy to book Erin again for our next trip!”

“At first we were apprehensive about choosing a new individual to care for our pets. Our first interaction with Brady was that he was a typical uninterested young man who would be ok, but be nothing special. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised and wrong in our initial assessment. Our assumption that he was disinterested was really him easily and fully understanding our needs the first time we explained them. He only asked intentional and poinient questions to get exactly the information he needed to provide an exceptional service; he didn't need additional clarification which made us think, wrongly, he was not fully engaged. Don't let his approach and directness fool you; he is fully committed to the job at hand and able to accommodate your and your pets' needs. Brady was excellent with our dog and cat while we were away. He took extra time to play with them daily even though it wasn't required. He was also easily willing to check on the house, find a missing mail package, and ensure the dog (who has storm anxiety) was her usual self after a major storm. He was very responsive to texts through the app even at odd times of day. We appreciate his willingness to be flexible with our delayed and changing flights and his anticipation of our needs. We will definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”


“Vu did exactly what I asked and provided thoughtful updates with photos included. He went above and beyond for my cats and left me feeling very comfortable that they received the best care while I was gone. Thank you Vu!”

About: My love for dogs started when I was just 8 years old, when my family welcomed our first dog into our home. Ever since, dogs have been a huge part of my life! As a dog mom myself, I know firsthand that our dogs aren't just pets. They're family. I live every day trying to give my own dog the happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilling life possible, and I would bring that same love, attention, and care to yours. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and TLC. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care for dogs belonging to family and friends. Above all, your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I also believe trust goes both ways. It's just as important that your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy with me as it is that you feel confident leaving them in my care. I've taken my own dog to training classes and understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, consistency, and respecting each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves walks and adventures, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your dog, build a trusting relationship, and give them the same love and care I give my own! ❤️ As a dog mom myself, caring for a dog is already a big part of my everyday life! I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and look forward to making pet care an even bigger part of my routine! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first! I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn about their personality, routines, preferences, and any special needs. Whether we're going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll always prioritize making your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm especially mindful of maintaining familiar routines, following feeding and medication instructions, using safe walking practices, and respecting each dog's physical abilities and energy levels. Having cared for dogs from puppies to seniors, I understand that some need extra patience, reassurance, or accommodations. When caring for your dog in your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care as my own. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your best friend is in good hands.
“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.”


“Emma was fantastic with our three cats as we took a long road trip to New Hampshire and back over the long weekend. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that my cat that needs medication and an inhaler had both each day. She also kept us up to date about an accident that my cat had, cleaned it, and left the place spotless for us to come home. Emma is a great pet sitter!”

“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.”

“Jess was fantastic! This was our first experience with Rover and Jess went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and assure our furry friends were in great hands. We highly recommend Jess.”


About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downingtown
Julia took amazing care of my cat while I was away. She provided detailed updates about his care and sent the best and silliest pictures of him. Not only did she take care of his daily needs but she really went above and beyond and spent time and connected with him. This trip was the longest I’ve ever left him for and I felt completely at ease knowing Julia was caring for him. I would definitely hire her again!

I was so nervous about finding someone new to help with our dog and Erin has been the best!! She’s so easy to communicate with and has been amazing with our pit mix, and he absolutely loves her! She provides updates and pictures…I am on the opposite side of the country but feel completely at ease knowing he is in great hands!

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 is amazing. His communication is exceptional and he goes above and beyond what his duties require. We are impressed by his maturity and willingness to excel as a pet sitter. He took wonderful care of our cats and our home while we were away. We will 100% be contacting him for future sits and recommend his services to everyone who needs them. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!!

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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Downingtown is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,725 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Downingtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
