“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!”
“Brady is terrific with my three Aussies. He is reliable and great at communicating. He has made sure to take time to meet and greet and get to know them. Already have rebooked several times!”
“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!”
“Rachael was fantastic with our two kitties! She gave thorough updates and gave us so much peace of mind during our time away. Even our feisty and particular cat enjoyed her company! We deeply appreciate her attentiveness to detail and patience with our fuzzy babies. Thank you Rachael!!!”
“Christie did a wonderful job tending to my two cats. One who isn't very social with other people besides myself seemed to come out of his shell a little bit. I'm certain if Christie had a couple more visits, Bootsy would have let her pet him. I would definitely book Christie again!”
“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

“Highly recommend Regan, she took great care of our 4 month old pup. She went the extra mile to make sure he settled down before leaving and kept us in the loop the whole time.”
“Paige was great at taking care of my dog! He’s a larger shepherd, so he can be a handful - but she handled it without any issues. Would absolutely recommend. Very professional, on time and worked around some issues that came up with the booking.”
About: HI! My name is Alisha and the only thing I love more than a good pun is a good doggie! I have been a lover of all animals since as early as I can remember. I am very active and love bringing the pups out on my runs and exploring nature together. I am patient and love cuddles and kisses, but am a stickler for manners, rules, and boundaries. I have experience with deaf dogs, potty training, and crate training. My schedule is very flexible right now for any service you are in need of and have reliable transportation. I hope I can meet your doggie soon so I can have another new four-legged friend!

They deserve all the love and attention to give them the very best life possible!

I can be there for a quick potty break, or a nice walk - long or short, whatever they need!

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
