“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
“My dog had lots of fun with Megan. She followed my instructions, and I felt my dog was in good hands. After we returned home, my girl was a bit confused, and sat looking at the door, I'm positive she was waiting for Megan!”
“Christie does drop in visits with my dog Kato on some weekends. She’s very easy to work with and Kato always seems comfortable and happy when I get home! Will continue to book with her!”
“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!”
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
“Cassandra has always been consistently reliable and provides detailed updates with each of her visits. She has always been thoughtful when working with our dog. We have always experience great service when booking visits with her.”
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) since I was young and as a teen to adult have taken care of them well into their old age. Some of my pets have required extra care as they aged, and I was able to keep them comfortable while having all of their needs met. As a teen, neighbors would trust me for house drop-ins and dog walking regularly when they went on vacation or even had a sudden event that made them late to give their pets dinner. I’m capable of taking care of all needs including giving medications to stubborn dogs and cats, accident clean-up, litter box maintenance, walking, brushing, and bathing. **Years of experience ~4 collectively in which I was paid for pet-sitting services, owned and cared for pets my whole life. I am full time work from home, so I can easily schedule throughout the day to drop by for your pet, or I can bring my computer to your home and spend the day with your pets if you’d prefer! Additionally, I am available most weekends and weekday evenings after 5pm. I do occasionally travel for work, so booking at least a week in advance is preferred so that I can be sure of my availability. I have one dog (black lab, 7 y/o) and one cat (13 y/o). Both are very friendly, but my cat will most likely keep to herself. I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can roam, and live near a park with a walking trail so a long walk is also an option. My lawn has been treated for ticks and fleas.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and absolutely love caring for animals! 🐾 I currently work at the University of Pennsylvania’s Ryan Veterinary Hospital, and my father is a critical care veterinary nurse, so animals and veterinary care have always been a big part of my life. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your pets like my own! ❤️ I am currently available on weekends and Mondays and Fridays! I have availability Tuesday - Thursday after 6:30pm. I do have a full time job at UPenn’s Veterinary Hospital which is why my availability is limited Tuesday - Thursday. I unfortunately cannot care for pets in my home, as I have two cats of my own. I have no problem coming to your home and following any specific rules you may have for your own fur baby.
“Arrived promptly on schedule and spent quality time with our two dogs. Sent pictures each time. Will certainly use Lisa’s service again and would recommend her for those looking for a compassionate animal caregiver.”
About: I have a senior yellow lab (almost 13 years old!) who has been in my life since he was 8 weeks old. As he gets older, more and more care is required for him. Along with that, I have worked with families of different dogs when dogsitting is needed. This care ranged from small to large dogs at all stages of life. I enjoy playing in the yard with them. As someone who has had a dog for so long, I know how people want their dog treated when they are away. I am offering love and care to your dogs while you are away, so they don’t feel lonely at all! I am looking for weekend dog sitting plans. I work a full time job during the week and will not be able to provide the care I hope to for your dogs on the weekdays. As mentioned, I know how much our dogs matter to us! I will do exactly what you request with your dog! Whether that is walks, playing, certain food techniques and more!
About: I’ve always had a furry friend by my side, since as long as I could remember. I provide reliable, patient, and personalized care to each pet I care for. I love both dogs and cats, no matter breed, size, or personality, I always make sure they’re safe and comfortable. As a responsible pet sitter/walker, I keep owners updated and follow routine in order to keep your pet happy and loved while you’re away:) Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible weekday schedule. I’m currently a student at Wilmington University, while balancing mutiple side incomes as a 23 year old in today’s world. I’m available throughout the week for walks or drop-in visits, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet's needs. I care for every pet like they're my own. I follow their usual routine, make sure they have food, water, exercise, and lots of attention, and I always follow the owner's instructions. My priority is keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable.
“Great to meet and excellent with all 3 of my animals! I have 2 senior dogs and a 1 year old cat who is very nervous around new people but he walked right up to her easily. I’m very nervous about leaving my 2 senior dogs with anyone considering one is fully blind, the other has a messed up leg along with other major health concerns but she has gained my trust in caring for my boys while I’m away. Will be hiring again and keeping as their main sitter!”
“Nancy has been amazing with my dogs!!! You can tell she is a true animal lover, because she cares about the details. She made last minute arrangements for us to meet and greet and adjustments to a few of our schedule stays, so she is also very willing to be as flexible as her schedule/life allows. Nancy sends photos and videos of my nuggets every stay. She has even checked in to see how my dog was doing with no upcoming/pending visit, so I know they are in genuinely loving hands under her care.”
About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover, who regrets not pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Animals have been my passion, love, and a needed presence for my entire life; in fact, my first word was kitty. As a child I researched animals of all kinds, and still do today. I love to train and play with dogs, snuggle with cats, ride horses, sing with the birds, make kissy faces at fish, etc. I often research natural pet care(& for humans!), training for all animals. I am educated in pet behavior and look for any signs of distress or change in your pets behavior, physical and mental health. I also enjoy making homemade organic, healthy treats for all pets. I've had many types of animals over the years and genuinely looking to enjoy time with your pets. I'm happy to just spend time, train (I am not a professional but do enjoy training) and walk or hike. I am a Mama to 5 cats & one Golden/Brittany mix (who are not currently in my home & in Maine as they transition here). I have owned two special needs cata that required medication, special requirements and sub-q fluids at home - I am happy to care for any special requirements. I also do a lot of pet photography and would be overjoyed to take your pets photos! I'm excited to meet and bond with your fur babies! I work typical M-F hours and off on the weekends (and summer!). I will fully integrate their needs into my schedule and ensure their needs are met and they are happy, safe and healthy. I will treat your pets as my own while you are away. I am very affectionate and attentive and truly seek to connect with your baby. I'm happy to send pictures and videos as much as you like! I'd like to connect not only with them, but you and hopefully be a trusted person to rely on when you need care for your animals.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kennett Square
Mandy is so wonderful with our dog and always puts our mind at ease when we are away from home. She is an excellent communicator and keeps us updated with pictures and detailed write-ups after every visit. She is friendly, trustworthy, and our little pup loves her! Thank you, Mandy!
We had Glenna check Slugger multiple times while we were at a Mets game. She went out of her way and brought Slugger to her house to have a play date with her dog, Waffles. She sent multiple pictures and kept us updated throughout the day. When we got home, Slugger was fast asleep, exhausted from all the fun.

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 Kennett Square 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 Kennett Square 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 .

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 Kennett Square with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
