“Julia was absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog, Nyla. Nyla came home happy, healthy, and tired out from all the fun! We will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“Meagan was an amazing sitter for our dog. He actually didn’t want to come home. She sent videos of him and he was having a blast at her home. She took care of everything. She had a clean and well organized home and pet area. I highly recommend Meagan.”
“This is the fourth time that Parker stayed with Dolly and her family. Each time he is there he comes back exhausted because he’s had such a good time with Dolly three boys. The entire family love him and I feel very worry free when he is there. It’s like Parker found himself a second family!”
“Barbara and her family provided me wonderful piece of mind while I was gone. I quickly knew that Tank, my 13-year-old Cavapoo, was in good and loving hands. Barbara kept me updated with texts and photos too. I am new to the area and didn't have a solid dog care support system, so I guess now I do. In fact. I booked Barbara already for an extended trip in May!”
About: I have always loved animals and will love taking care of yours. Some info about me, I work as a volunteer vet tech so I am able to give your dog oral or subcutaneous medicine. My family and I have four dogs and two cats that I take care of by taking them on walks, brushing their teeth, and bathing. I have also dog sat a couple homes while pet parents are away. I am currently a student at wcu and am on a flexible schedule as my gymnastics season just ended and the semester is coming to an end. I have a Maltese poodle mix(Chase) that lives at college with me and my roommates and I always put him on a leash when letting him outside and he is currently on an eating routine. Chase is a picky pup with allergies and high anxiety so I have understood how to deal with high maintenance dogs and well as my sisters German shepherd and lab and the two dogs and cats my parents have at home. I am well versed with taking care of any type of dog or cat.
“Emily and Christine were great with Sherlock. They sent me photos of him playing with their dog, sleeping in their daughter’s room, going on walks, and generally having a blast. I’ve already booked them to take care of him again in a few weeks for an upcoming trip.”
About: I have had pets in my home since I was born, and currently have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old back at home with my mom now. I fostered a pup from ACCT Philly for a few months, volunteered at the Humane Society, and often dog-sit for friends/ family. I have class every day for 1-3 hours, but I am open anytime outside of my class hours and have a super flexible, accommodating schedule. I follow their request and expectation for how their dog is to be treated and cared for, while giving them appropriate attention and exercise. I ensure I am present to care for the dog and ensure all their needs are met.
“I appreciated his openness and understanding to my dog being so energetic and for his constant video and picture updates of my baby being okay while I was away. Would recommend, will be back.”
“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 .”
“Andres is great! My large dog is high energy and can be a handful at times, but always loves his stay. I really appreciate the photos I receive if my dog having fun at Andres’ place, and how mellow my dog is after being boarded with Andres!”
“Enrica took wonderful care of Luna! She provided frequent updates throughout the day and sent photos of their walks and cozy moments together on the sofa. It was clear that Luna was happy and well cared for. I would love to book her services again!”
“We have a senior Shiba Inu with pretty bad separation anxiety as well as some arthritis issues. Boarding her has become more and more fraught these past couple years, which is why I was so excited to find Erin on Rover. When we had our meet and greet before going on vacation, our dog was legit disappointed when Erin left after 30 minutes! It was readily apparent that Erin has a genuine love for and knack with older dogs such that I knew she'd be perfect for our special needs doggo. Dropping our dog off before vacation is generally pretty stressful for all involved, but not with Erin--after spending 30 minutes getting our pupper settled, she was calm and not stressed about me leaving at all. That was a first! Erin was also very communicative while we were away. She provided loads of pictures and videos along with fun updates about how they were doing and any questions she had about our doggo's quirky behavior. Best of all, it was clear to me that Erin truly cared about our pup as much as we do. If I could give Erin more than five stars I would. We will definitely be sending our Pippa back to "Camp Erin" next time we're away!”
“We left our 7 month old with him our first time away (10 days). Drew was great, sent regular pictures and made sure he was with the right dogs at night. When we returned to pick our puppy up it was clear that he connected with Drew. Hope to use Drew in the future!”
“Peanut was in the best of hands with Rita. Our flight wound up being delayed and Rita was so kind and understanding that we had to extend our puppys stay. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much!!!”
“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!!!”
“Alexa was absolutely wonderful during our dog,Smokey’s stay(vacation)).She sent us multiple pictures and updates, which put us at ease knowing he was also having fun! She has a kind heart and treats all her boarders as if they were her own❤️ Smokey came home happy, clean, smelling good and very tired from all the fun he had!”
“SIQI was the best dog sitter we have ever had for our 2 medium to large dogs. She was extremely responsive and very kind. She had dogs before and knows how to care for dogs really well. She went above and beyond for our girls. One of our girls nails chipped and she quickly sent a picture and followed up with what she did. We are looking forward to having her care for our girls in the future!”
“Beaune had a fabulous time with Benjamin and his family. They went the extra mile to make him feel welcomed and comfortable. They were attentive and tuned into his preferences, needs, and personality! Benjamin’s home is the perfect mix of play and peace, with a great backyard, friendly pup friends, and comfy places to rest. We’ll absolutely return (and already booked our next stay)! There’s really no value you can place on a safe, reliable, and caring sitter for your furbaby and Benjamin is just that!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Chester
Leigh was great! She accepted the booking of our Scooby, who has some medical issues, with only a few weeks notice when another sitter on Rover had to cancel. She sent multiple photos and updates each day and was responsive to our requests. Scooby had a great time playing with Leigh's golden retriever, Scarlet, and I've never seen him look happier in the photos she sent. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Leigh again in the future.
Reliable, kind, and communicative.Emma went above and beyond, The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog.Will definitely book again!😍
Melina took great care of my pup Riley! I needed someone very last minute for an entire week when my original pet care fell through. She responded quickly and I was able to get it figured out. She communicated great, sent updates every day, and I could tell Riley had a great time. Will be using her again in the future!
Kayla is the best!! We needed someone to watch our puppy, and she was so professional, warm, and friendly. As new puppy parents, leaving him with someone new was very frightening, but Kayla made us feel comfortable and safe, knowing our puppy was in great hands. He LOVES her and bonded with her immediately. It’s amazing to know he has another home with Kayla, and we will definitely book her again.
We were very happy with Beau’s 2-week “staycation” with Meghan. She understood what he needs in terms of affection, play time, and exercise and made sure all his needs were met. Beau has little interest in other dogs, in general, but he and her dog definitely bonded during his stay. We highly, highly recommend Meghan as a dog sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Chester is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in West Chester can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Chester home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Chester.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Chester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
