“Teresa did a wonderful job of taking care of our dog for 11 days. I usually send my dog to a kennel, but she has picked up too many diseases from the kennel and was recovering from kennel cough. I was hesitant to use someone I barley knew. But, I’m so glad I hired Teresa! She took our dog on daily walks and sent the cutest pictures! She even went the extra mile cleaning her sheets. Our dog was happy and healthy when we got home. I’ll definitely use her again in the future and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have always loved dogs and never will stop. I love playing and making sure they’re active, making sure they’re receiving enough attention and water especially on hot days. I have grown up with dogs in my house since my 1st birthday I’m currently working on going to nursing school and I’m applying to a lot of pet stores or even humane societies for animals like the SPCA I will watch animals in your home, I want to make them as comfortable and not in a unfamiliar place with unfamiliar smells just one new person!
About: Hi, my name is Kylie! I’m a patient, kind, and attentive dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I treat every dog like family, ensuring safety, fun, and love every day. I’m reliable, responsible, and ready to make your pup happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available weekdays (Monday–Thursday) for dog sitting, walks, and playtime. My schedule on weekends varies because I work at different stores, but I’m happy to accommodate special requests or fill-ins whenever possible. I love caring for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and loved while fitting pet care seamlessly into my week. Although I don’t have pets of my own, I love caring for dogs like they’re part of my family. I supervise them at all times, follow their routines, and create a safe, clean, and loving environment so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.
“Raven does an excellent job. Very conscientious. Thinks ahead. She took excellent care of my Sugar and was responsive to my requests for updates & pictures of my baby. Super flexible. I would recommend Raven without a second thought to anyone that needs care for their fur baby.”


“Elizabeth took excellent care of my 3 dogs while we were away. Her communication and pictures (girls always looked happy) were great. Came home to clean house. I will definitely book her again!”

“This was our first time using anyone but family to housesit and watch our dogs. We chose Jeff, and when our dogs met him they opened up to him right away. We have 2 dogs, 1 is a puppy who loves everyone and is still training. The other is 7 and terrified of everyone but she went to Jeff. It made going away a lot easier. Jeff was great, he was good with our dogs and the house was spotless when we returned.”


About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with over 20 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner. I’ve cared for dogs in every stage of life—from young puppies to senior dogs, as well as dogs with special needs, anxiety, and medical conditions. I’m comfortable with small and large breeds and pets with all kinds of personalities, whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly. In addition to my own pets, I regularly provide dog and cat care for friends and family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. I also have experience with puppy training basics, including reinforcing routines and good behaviors. I’m comfortable with administering medications, including pills and other treatments, and maintaining consistent routines for pets who need extra care. One of my rescue dogs struggled with anxiety, so I’m very familiar with supporting anxious pets and creating a calm, reassuring environment. Something that also sets me apart is that my sister is a former veterinary technician, so I have a knowledgeable contact I can reach out to if any questions arise while caring for your pet. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I tailor my care to your pet’s specific needs, routine, and personality to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet, so I always send frequent updates, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! ❤️ work remotely from home Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Because I work from home, I’m able to take breaks during the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. If I have a particularly busy work week, I will update my Rover calendar and turn off my availability in advance to ensure that any pets I accept receive my full attention and care. I know how important your pet’s safety and happiness are, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re my own. I maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment while following your pet’s routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m experienced with administering medications, monitoring health, and handling behavioral or medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable hands. I also send frequent updates, photos, and videos to keep you connected and worry-free. Every pet gets personalized attention, love, and care, so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“John was great taking care of our dog, cat, and house while we were away. He was super responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made us very comfortable. He also had a lot of patience dealing with our challenging senior dog who is very wary of strangers. He put in work to make her feel comfortable and begin to relax. Will be booking again for sure.”

“Adrienne took such excellent care of our two pups while we were in Europe for a week. We loved getting fun picture and activity updates along the way. She always makes it feel like the pups are getting a doggie staycation! Cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: I am a dedicated petsitter who provides excellent services to your furry friend. I pay attention to detail in their behavior, health, and even the routines. As you choose my services, you can trust that your furry companion will receive the love and attention they deserve and that you'll always be in the loop about their care. I currently have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur baby. I do take same-day visits, however, please note I will not always be available due to my work schedule. Rest assured the fur baby will always be played with and snuggled from time to time. Do let me know if they have a restricted schedule. I normally help with refreshing my clients dogs water bowl at every meal, take them out to use the restroom, and play with them. If there are set guidelines, a printed form of the steps would be highly suggested. In addition, you always will be communicated.
“Jennifer was fantastic and my corgis loved their time with her! She was extremely communicative and kept me up to date with texts and photos the entire time. I highly recommend using her services! I’ll definitely be a repeat client!”

About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life! my favorite being german shepherds but my love for dogs in general is unconditional. cats are definitely growing on me as well. pets are nothing new to me and i’d love to get to know yours!! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. i am available throughout weekdays as well as weekends.However, I do work and go to college, but i want to dedicate the time i do have to taking care of your pets! i’ve had dogs for pets for as long as i can remember so it’s safe to say your dog and i will get along very well. cats are undeniably drawn to me for some reason and i embrace it every time. i have a fence around my house for my german shepherd, Amelia. i love taking her for walks and i’ll do the same for you dogs. i love cuddling with my girlfriends cats and i’m sure your cats will be very happy to hear they can have some love from me too!
“Lauren is a rockstar! We had her housesit and care for our big ham, Pluto. He can be a handful at times on walks as he is a big boy and his humans didn’t do a great job at training him not to pull. Lauren handled him like a champ! We would recommend her all day long. Thanks Lauren for caring for Pluto!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I truly understand how much your pup means to you, they’re family, not just a pet. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy (Moomin) of my own, so I know firsthand the energy, playfulness, and training that goes into raising a happy, well-adjusted dog. Over the past year, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, playtime, and all the little routines that keep a dog happy and healthy. I love taking dogs to the park for fresh air, playtime, and socializing with other pups, but I’m just as happy keeping them calm company at home if that’s what they prefer, I adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m attentive to every little cue, whether it’s excitement, anxiety, or just wanting a belly rub, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable the whole time. I also like to keep you updated with quick messages and photos throughout our time together, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m a full-time software engineer working a hybrid schedule with flexible hours (10 AM–3 PM). I’m typically out of the house on Mondays and Tuesdays, work from home the rest of the weekdays, and I’m completely off on weekends. My schedule is also flexible enough that I can adjust days if needed to match your pup’s needs. On the days I’m home, I have plenty of time for walks, play, and feeding, and I’m usually happy to have a dog keep me company while I work. I regularly cuddle and work alongside my own Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m used to balancing focused work with giving a dog attention, short breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. It means your pup won’t just be looked after, they’ll genuinely have company and companionship all day long. In my own home, I make sure dogs feel comfortable and settled right away, giving them a calm space to relax along with plenty of playtime and cuddles. Since I have my own Golden Retriever puppy, my home is already dog-friendly and set up for a happy, active pet. I take dogs for regular walks and trips to the park, letting them socialize with other dogs when they enjoy it, or keeping things calmer and quieter if that suits them better. I always adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level rather than sticking to one routine for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions the owner gives me, so the dog feels as little disruption as possible. I’m attentive to their comfort and cues throughout, and I send regular updates with messages and photos so owners always know how their pup is doing.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olde West Chester
Chrissy was fantastic! My dog was pretty anxious with being in a new environment while I traveled and Chrissy treated him perfectly. She was understanding, kind and adapted to make him comfortable. She also communicated every step of the way and shared photos. I can’t say enough great things.

Zoe was fantastic! This was the first time we have used Rover and on short notice, we requested Zoe pet sit overnight for multiple nights. She was very responsive to messages/texts from the start, sent many pictures documenting our dog's daily activity and kept the house tidy. She was very thoughtful and sweet. We would definitely use her services again! Highly recommend!

Natalie did an awesome job of taking care of our little Elvas for 5 days. She met or exceeded our every expectation. Natalie communicated with us regularly to let us know how it was going, sending lots of pictures to show Elvas was being well cared for. We’ll definitely use her services again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Olde West Chester is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $81 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Olde West Chester walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Olde West Chester maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Olde West Chester 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
