“We absolutely love our dog sitter! She’s incredibly reliable and communicative—always checks in before and during the visit if needed, and she sends tons of adorable photos that give us total peace of mind. She even follows up the next day to make sure everything went well. Super sweet and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’ll definitely be using her again!

“Brady's visit was quite impressive with my two senior dogs. My dogs are rescues and take a while to warm up to people so the constantly bark. They didn't really bark at all and warmed up to him right away which always takes longer with others even family so I was impressed. Brady was always on time and very polite I'm excited we found someone that my dogs will enjoy!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our two dogs and two cats! Jen is always accommodating, responsible, and she’s a great communicator. The best thing though is we can tell the animals love her too!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tiara was wonderful taking care of our two cats! When our one cat was experiencing separation anxiety she immediately agreed to add a few more check ins to check on him! A+++ sitter; highly recommend!”
“Rachel, once again, provided Chino a wonderful time. Rachel is always so communicative and treats Chino very well. She goes above and beyond by cleaning Chino's water and food bowls and mat and sending pix along the way. We can't be more pleased we found Rachel through Rover.”
“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: I grew up with German Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs. I currently have a small Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for a relaxing walk, an energetic run, or simply giving them plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your dog like one of my own! I work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the week, I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-ins, and care. On weekends, I’m available throughout the entire day and can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where every dog can feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs, and I always follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medication, and routines. I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care.
“Erin was amazing with our 2 dogs. We have a rescue pit-bull and an anxious boxer mix that need a little more TLC…they absolutely loved her. She came 3 times a day and spent time with them. I would absolutely book with her again!”

I have a very flexible schedule and I am comfortable with all breeds. I have a very open schedule. Morning, afternoons and early evening are available. I am open to working any day of the week as well. I would care for the pets in their home the same way I would my own - with love, care and playfulness. All pets deserve love and care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downingtown
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!!
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. 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.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
