“We can’t say enough amazing things about Carly! She took fantastic care of our German Shepherd, Ruby, while we were away. Ruby can be a bit hesitant with new people, but Carly was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind. She took the time to build trust, and it wasn’t long before Ruby completely warmed up to her. Carly made sure Ruby was well-fed, sticking closely to her routine, and always kept us updated so we knew she was in great hands. She even cleaned up a little oopsy accident in the house without hesitation, handling it with total grace and compassion. What touched us most was how affectionate and loving she was with Ruby, sharing cuddles, giving her attention, and making sure she felt safe and cared for the entire time. It was clear Ruby was not just looked after, but loved. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we are beyond grateful. Carly is a true gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and truly exceptional sitter. Thank you, Carly! 🐾💛”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon, so I have a very open and flexible schedule this summer! I do work part-time, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Since I don’t have many major summer plans, I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.
“I'm thrilled that I selected Irina to provide a couple drop-ins for my shy dog while we were away. Irina's warm approach helped my dog quickly feel comfortable around her, and the happiness evident in the photos she sent reassured me greatly. She arrived on time, took my dog on nice long walks, and ensured he had everything he needed, including food and water. The regular photo updates during each visit were a thoughtful touch, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.”
“We only had a pop in visit scheduled on Thanksgiving but met Renee prior and got to see her with our GSD Rudy. He's a 90 pound dog so could be intimidating to some people, but not Renee! He like her just fine too and she was very interactive with him. You can tell a dog person when you meet one and Renee was definitely into dogs! We will use her again when the need arises. :)”
“After meeting Christie for the first time and seeing how patient she was with Ellie, I could see she was an animal lover. I was able to relax and have a great time visiting family for the weekend.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved caring for animals. I have experience with dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, so I am comfortable helping with different routines and needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of being attentive. I’m happy to follow specific instructions, keep pets on their normal schedule, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I generally have open availability and can be flexible with scheduling for walks and drop-in visits. On Fridays and Saturdays, I am available up until 3:30 pm - otherwise any time can work for me! I’ll be happy to work with you and your pet’s routine! For walks and drop-in visits, safety is a top priority. I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, or any other special care needs. During walks, I make sure to keep pets secure and comfortable.
“Alaina was available at the last minute to help me with cat sitting while I was out of town! She promptly set up a meet + greet prior to the start of the cat sitting, and it was great! She did an awesome job looking after my cats and sent me lots of photos each day, which I very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my household since I was born. I have 7 years of experience volunteering at animal shelters at the SPCA and at my hometown rescue. I just graduated from the University of Richmond so I am home for at least the summer as I figure out what is next! I am an active 22 year old, so would love to do long walks with a dog. I would care for them as though they were my dogs at home, as I do with the dogs in the rescue. I have experience with all types of dogs and energies and will be able to respond appropriately to all.
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and currently have two black labs, ages 7 and 14, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with specialized needs. I have experience providing medication, administering inhalers, using doggie diapers, and helping older dogs stay comfortable and maintain their routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I strive to give every pet the same care and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a student at Penn State University pursuing degrees in Accounting and Finance while completing my Master’s in Accounting and studying for the CPA exam. Pet owners can count on me to be responsible, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently a student studying for the CPA exam, but have lots of flexibility, especially during the standard work day. I also have weekend availability though it is more limited. I currently only care for pets at my clients’ homes. The type of care provided is dependent on each owner and the instructions they provide to best care for their pets.
“Erin was wonderful! We have an older dog and needed help fairly last minute for a trip. She was so responsive and came to visit before we left. She kept our girl happy and loved! We will definitely reach out to Erin for future needs!”
About: I’m an active sitter with experience caring for puppies, dachshunds, and large dogs. I can work on socialization, leash walking, and age-appropriate mobility or agility exercises. I understand breed-specific needs, from the gentle handling dachshunds require to the structure and energy management larger dogs need. My priority is providing safe, engaging, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s personality and routine. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m consistently available for walks and nighttime care. I plan my schedule around feedings, exercise, playtime, and check-ins to ensure pets feel comfortable, attended to, and never rushed. I prioritize safety in every environment and respect house rules, whether in my home or a client’s. As a dachshund mom, I understand how some dogs have special needs and personalities, and I tailor my care accordingly. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure space while supervising play, walks, and nighttime visits making every dog feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

I will follow all instructions given to ensure you’re pet and myself have a safe and pleasant experience! I hope your pet feels safe with me!
“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.”
“Alison was so kind in going out of her way to do a meet-and-greet with our kitties before we left! When we got home, everyone was happy and everything was tidy. We would definitely book Alison to watch our babies again!”
About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for my entire life; I love all animals, big, small, young, old and anywhere in between, the more animals the better! I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and fish and I get along with all of them. I am available for early mornings and late nights as well as weekends. I am also familiar with and unphased by the less glamorous sides of pet care, I don't mind cleaning up after puppy accidents, I have some experience grooming our shaggier four legged friends, and I know how to administer most puppy medications. I work from home so my availability is wide open for whatever you and your animals need. I am an extremely active person so there is no limit to much I will love and play with your pup, but I will also be patient and sensitive to nervous dog and cats. There is no puppy personality that I don't love. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work remote Monday - Wednesday. I also have weekends and evenings available for more involved activities. When im not pet sitting i like to take my own dog for hiking/ camping adventures! A typical day starts with breakfast and a nice romp around the yard, or brisque walk around the neighborhood so your dog can go potty and get out some morning energy. I have a flexible schedule at work so i can take frequent breaks to play and attend to your critters needs. In the evenings, im free again and i like to spend time being active, whether its a long walk, a game of fetch, or even an adventure to the park
“As expected, Cassie was amazing. Even when Dante changed his mind and decided he did NOT want a visit & he'd rather be scary & overprotective, Cassie didn't bail on him, but rather talked him down and helped him calm down. She quite literally saved our weekend, and let us know every detail so that we can work on it going forward. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again!”

Thank you Courtney for helping us out last minute so we could enjoy some family time at great wolf lodge. I’m sure Beau loved the belly rubs, walks and treats. You were so trustworthy and kind. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our future dog visit/walking & cat sitting needs. Thank you again!
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.
I originally booked her for a couple drop ins for my extremely spoiled senior small dog. I knew as soon as she stopped by for the get to know you session that she met our high standards. Lovely person, knew instinctively exactly what scratches he would enjoy, and very responsible and responsive. I ended up having to extend my trip away and she was able to add sessions to accommodate. Wholeheartedly recommend Amanda/Mandy.

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.

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.
