About: Dog owner and lover. Several years experience with taking care of dogs such as doodles, labs, German shepherd and more. I offer a safe and relaxed environment for your pet. I am available in the evening on Fridays and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I work full time Monday - Friday and would prefer if your dog was picked up on Sunday evening. I prefer to host the dog at my home. I have one dog - a lab mix. He is a very loving and gentle but active dog. There are no children in my home. We go on lots of walks during the day.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for their care and well-being. Growing up in a home full of pets – from bunnies and dogs to cats and aquatic animals – I’ve always felt a strong connection to all creatures. My commitment to animals goes beyond simply loving them; I believe in being a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of rescuing and caring for many dogs, especially senior pups, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. Providing a safe, loving environment for an animal during their later years is a gift that every pet deserves, and I take great pride in offering that. With experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, sizes, and ages, I currently share my home with two small dogs and a cat – all of whom are friendly and welcoming to other animals. I’ve also had the joy of fostering several senior rescues over the years, creating a warm, loving atmosphere where every pet feels at home. No matter your pet’s needs, they’ll receive the utmost care, love, and attention from me. I look forward to meeting and caring for your beloved companion! I am a full-time pet mom, and caring for my pets is at the heart of my daily routine. As a recent graduate from Jefferson University with a degree in Interior Architecture and Design, I work full-time, but I’m fortunate to be remote most days. On a typical work-from-home day, I’m at my desk with one of my dogs either lounging in my lap or resting by my feet, while my cat comes and goes to check in on us. We take frequent potty breaks throughout the day, and I love rewarding them with occasional treats for being such good girls! On the days I work in the office, I usually get home between 4:30 and 5 PM, so I’m able to spend quality time with my pets after work. Weekends are always fully available for pet care, and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time to play, walks, and cuddles. I prioritize a loving and structured routine for my pets, and I’ll bring that same level of care and attention to your pets. Whether I’m working from home or out of the office, your pet will be treated as part of my family, receiving all the attention, love, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or your home, safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a secure environment by closely monitoring the pets, keeping them in a safe, pet-friendly space, and always following any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. At my home, I have a comfortable and clean space for pets to relax, with plenty of room for play and exploration and also a fenced in yard. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully introduce new animals to make sure everyone feels at ease. I make sure to always supervise interactions and ensure that pets have a peaceful, stress-free experience. In your home, I take the time to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, maintaining consistency with feeding, exercise, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any additional rules or preferences you may have, whether it’s keeping your pet away from certain areas or offering specific treats. Above all, I strive to build a bond with your pet based on trust and love, providing them with the care and attention they need while you're away. You can rest assured that your pet will receive the same level of attention, compassion, and safety that I give to my own animals.
“Andres was great and very accommodating! We had a bit of a last minute request and were able to do a meet and greet immediately to make sure we were good to go. We will definitely have Andres watch our puppy again as long as she wasn't too much trouble ;-)”
“Janette was wonderful with my 7 months old puppy. He is extremely energetic, inquisitive, and playful . She shared pictures of him every day. He participated in the birthday of one of the furries of the household and had some of the home made treats! She answered my requests right away . I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely come back again. Thank you for your love and care to our lovely puppy!”
“Very nice guy. We love our dog, he is like one of our children. We usually take him everywhere we go. John made us comfortable, and sent pictures for my daughter to reinsure her that he was all right.I will definitely use him again if available .”
“Amanda accommodated us on short notice. She has a perfect a wonderful, safe yard for our little dog to explore. Amanda sent pictures to let us know how our girl was doing. Great experience!”
“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“My dogs loved staying with Juliana when I was away for over a week!! She was communicative throughout and kept me updated with photos/status updates. She is so nice and provided so much care and attention to them. I would 100% recommend using Juliana for dog care!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for more than 45 years and I love my animals like they are my kids. That’s what you can expect from me while caring for your pets. I’ve had little dogs and big dogs, cats, fish, even horses. I especially love Great Danes and for some reason they love me. I have no fear of them and appreciate their lap dog in a big dog body personalities. My favorite thing is when I’ve just met a new Dane, within a few minutes of meeting them they are comfortable enough to start “herding” me. This is when I know I’ve gained their confidence and trust. Most of them try to sit on my lap, I always let them. ❤️? I’m currently working remotely and have flexibility with my work and schedule. I can be available on a short or advanced notice for visits in my home or yours. I have a semi fenced yard and 2 dog parks nearby. I have 2 cats. One is social and inquisitive while the other is a princess and lounges in her royalty most of the day. Your pet and I would be besties and get as much or little attention as they desire for the duration of their stay with me.
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“I was so relaxed with leaving Rex with Elise. Rex loved Elise with in few seconds and felt comfortable at her home. Elise was very flexible and accommodating with drop in and pick up times. Will definitely use them again!!!”

She was flexible with pickup and dropoff times, which was much appreciated! Will definitely use her again in the future :) thanks again!”
“Simone was absolutely amazing and so kind. My dog was immediately drawn to her and was so happy in all the update photos she sent. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will book again in the future.”
About: I have had several dogs and cats in my adult life. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats and one ferret. I am working with a dog trainer to assist my dogs getting along with my new rescue. I currently have a full time job from 8-4 in West Chester. I can come on the following days: Monday, Tuesday, Fridays, and weekends any time. I will stick to your schedule best I can. I will come and take the dogs for a walk, play and snuggle time. I will scoop poop in the yard. I will change the litter box and not force the cats to snuggle. If they want it, they can.

This was our first time reaching out to Sam for a weekend stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Sam arranged a meet and greet before the stay, took the time to explain everything, and walked us around her property to show us where our dog would be spending his time. Right from the beginning, we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. What we really appreciated was how she kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay without us even having to ask! It was so nice knowing he was doing well and having a great time. The best part was when we picked him up. Our dog was so happy and relaxed, which is very unusual compared to our experiences with other dog sitters. That alone told us how much he enjoyed his time with Sam! She also took the time during pickup to walk us through how he did and everything they had done during his 24-hour stay. Overall, a great, great experience! Sam is energetic, caring, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does. We are so glad we found her and will definitely be using her services going forward.
Lori took great care of my little Pomeranian while I was away on a family vacation. My dog had a great time and seeing the sweet look in his eyes as he said his goodbyes to Lori spoke volumes. While my dog is an easy keeper, he likes to be babied. Lori and her kids gave my little diva-boy all the attention he craved. I'd give Lori 6 six out of five stars if I could! Thanks, Lori. You are a delight!

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
