“My flight got cancelled and rescheduled due to the sudden snow storm recently and I was scrambling to find someone to watch my puppy. Kathryn accepted this last minute request and I couldn’t be any more appreciative. I was out of the country and unfortunately had some communication difficulties but she was patient and provided the care my dog needed. Really enjoyed seeing the photos of my pup she would send every time!”
“Morgan was great with our dog, Buddy. She stopped by for a meet-and-greet before we left for our trip. While we were away, she gave him his meds, meals, and snacks, he got outside time, and she gave him lots of snuggles. He even got to stay in his own home, which helps him not to be too stressed while we are away. Thanks Morgan!”
“Mandy was fantastic! She had a great connection with our pup Indie. She took lots of adorable photos and provided updates that gave us peace of mind while we were out. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future! ?”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, and took a leading role in training/retraining both puppies and older rescues. My family fostered Boston Terriers through NEBTR, where I gained experience caring for older dogs, as well as dogs with a high level of medical needs (medications, physical therapy, etc.) I love furry friends of all shapes and sizes, but I cannot own one at this stage in my life due to a stipulation in my lease. I would love to be connected with some amazing animals, in and around the kennett area! Outdoor walks are one of my favorite hobbies, and I would love some company! I work in food service, so my hours are quite different from most! I am available most days after 2pm, into the evening. I do not have much morning availability, as I usually start my shifts around 6am. I am free all day Wednesdays. I enjoy walking in the green spaces of Kennett, away from traffic and heavily populated streets. I house sat for many family friends, and I always operate under the principle of leaving a space better than I found it!
“Courtney is phenomenal. She’s watched my black lab a couple of times this summer and I could not be any happier. She plays with my doggie, sends pictures of every visit and always goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her.”
“Danica was absolutely great with my cats, Nala and Ginger!! They were always excited for her visit and playtime and had a great time!! I would highly recommend Danica!”
“Amazing!! Took care of Tex well beyond what was expected and really enjoyed the pic and video updates. Was very responsive and so kind. Highly recommend if you don’t want to be worried if your pup is getting the care and attention they deserve.”
About: Since I was little I’ve taken care of not only my own dog, but also but friends’, families’, and neighbors’! I also have experience with senior dogs (my own dog) and puppies!! I’m currently working a part time job only twice a week so I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can do all services almost everyday before 4 or 5 pm! I’m very well experienced with electric fences as I have one in my own yard. I am also experienced with crating, walking, and niche feeding habits - and can follow specific instructions for special pups!
About: I've grown up with large dogs, cats, and chickens my entire life. I started dog sitting in high school for friends and family, which inspired me to pursue veterinary science. While applying to vet schools, I always love to take care of your critters and remind myself who I'm doing it for! I'm currently applying to veterinary school and freelance shadowing at different clinics in the area, so I'll have lots of time to entertain your pets! Because of this, my availability varies week-to-week, so please check my calendar. In addition to my fair share of scratches and bites growing up, working in wild animal rehabilitation has made me confident with strong, harder-to-handle animals, and I'm confident I can keep your dogs and cats entertained when they get a little hyper, and I can calm them down when it's time for a nap!
“Toni was great with Slugger. She was easy to communicate with and very personable during our meet and greet. I would recommend her services to anyone and will be using her in the future.”
“This is my first time using Rover and I think I found the right person! I was worried at first but Lili was awesome and my dog liked her. Lili sent me all the update during her visit and I was greatly appreciated :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away — whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I love keeping pets on their usual routine and making sure they get lots of attention and exercise. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they’re comfortable, loved, and secure. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routines. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities!
About: Hi! My name is Margo, and I have several years of experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in clients’ homes. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule during the school year and full-time availability throughout the summer. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

About: I am a dedicated and experienced animal care provider with a strong background in both personal pet ownership and professional veterinary support. Having cared for my own animals over the years, I understand the importance of patience, attention, and compassion when it comes to their well-being. In addition, my experience working in a veterinary hospital has given me valuable hands-on knowledge in animal health, behavior, and safety. This combination allows me to provide reliable, attentive, and informed care, ensuring that every pet I watch is treated with the same level of love and responsibility as my own. I’m not just an animal lover, but I also love and adore kids which is where I spend my days working in a therapy clinic for kids Monday through Friday from 8-4. I’m available before 8 on weekdays and after 4 on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays I’m available anytime of the day. I am committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and trustworthy environment for every animal in my care. I prioritize following each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions to ensure their health and comfort at all times. My experience in a veterinary setting has equipped me to recognize signs of stress or illness early and respond appropriately. I maintain a clean, hazard-free space, use secure handling practices, and provide constant supervision to prevent accidents. Open communication with pet owners is also a top priority, offering regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, reliable, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“We recommend Matt for your pet care. He took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were on vacation coming three times a day. Matt is very reliable and connected well with all of the pets.”
About: With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring reliability, attentiveness, and plenty of love to every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to provide peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time, with one day each week working from home, which gives me flexibility for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins. On the days I’m in the office, I’m available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I also have weekend availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I love staying active and spending time with animals, so providing dependable, loving care is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet and home while traveling, so I make it a priority to follow routines closely, keep your space clean, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing, I work to make sure they feel secure, happy, and right at home while in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kennett Square
Teresa is the nicest, kindest, most reliable sitter you can find. She is more than capable of handling our cat’s medical needs and reliably gave him his daily medication. We had peace while we were away knowing he was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. We are very grateful for her kindness.
Maddie is so attentive and loving to our boy cats whenever we are away. It is nice to be able to go away and not worry about our boys- Maddie is right on time, so helpful, and always lets us know in detail how our boys were and how the visit went. We are so grateful to have found Maddie!
Alaina was suggested to me by a colleague, and my first experience with Rover, and she was great! Her care and consideration for my cat and home were much appreciated, and she was responsive and friendly in all our correspondence. I highly recommend her services!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
