“Julia was amazing. We had an out of town wedding and she took care of our Finn like her own. She has a little Yorkie named Archie and Finn and he had some much fun together. I was so relieved by Julia's updates and pictures that she sent. Finn loves to walk and she took him out for many walks in her very walkable neighborhood. I highly recommend Julia for your next getaway.”
“Richard took great care of my dog and provided timely updates and pictures which was very much appreciated. Fanny has some separation anxiety but seemed right at home and comfortable with Richard, I would highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Lorraine and Rover. We couldn't have found a better person to watch our senior pooch. From our first meeting, we felt our girl was in a safe healthy environment and Lorraine was a caring, reliable sitter. Over the 2 week stay, Lorraine sent updates and pictures showing a contended, happy pooch. We highly recommend Lorraine. A+”
“Dolly was wonderful with our two pups, gave frequent updates, sent photos and was willing to accommodate our last minute request as a possible extension of stay! Highly recommend!!”
“Avery was awesome!!! She went above and beyond for my girls! They seem to love her too! She cared for them just like I would have.. probably more!! She kept to the arranged schedule and kept in contact with messaging and photos which made me feel Even more comfortable!! Would highly recommend Avery! Thank you.”
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.
“Meaghan did a wonderful job watching Molly for the first time for a week . She has a great yard for them to play. she kept me updated with photos and video and was always available with messages. She does watch several dogs at a time but gives them all the attention needed. Already booked my next visit”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pups! My husband and I are very picky when it comes to choosing a new dogsitter, and based on the information provided, we felt that Cody and Melissa were the perfect fit. I want to assure any future users that they are the best when it comes to communication. Honestly, I probably have worse separation anxiety than my pups do—but Cody and Melissa sent videos, photos, and regular updates to let us know that our dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. We feel so grateful and lucky to have found such trustworthy and kind people to look after our pups while we’re away. Highly recommended!”
“We were very pleased with Yolanda's service. She send us regular updates, photos and videos of our dog Bella and other dogs playing. We will definitely use her service again when needed and highly recommend her service.”
“I had a short notice request due to a family member's health issue. Barbara was quick to respond and accept - much to my relief! It was great knowing Sophie was in good hands while I took care of family. Thank you!”
“Toni was amazing! She was able to fit us in on short notice. Her dog, Ollie, was super friendly and got along great with our dog, Sunny, whom we boarded with her for 4 nights. Toni was very communicative and sent us short messages and pictures of how Sunny was doing every day. This was our first time boarding our dog with a sitter and her level of communication definitely helped us feel more at ease. We will definitely be using her services again the future.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly adore them all. Whether they are big, small, furry, or fluffy! I’m experienced and comfortable with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I share my home with one sweet standard poodle and two lovable cats who are my whole heart. Whether it’s dog walking, drop in visits, or house sitting, I’m here to provide your pet with lots of love, care, and attention like they are my own! I am a college student who has a pretty flexible schedule. I love to do this kind of work while being a student because it provides me with more flexibility. Whether it’s in my home or yours, my goal is to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible. I will follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walks, to playtime and cuddles! I also want parents to feel as comfortable as possible! I love to provide pictures and updates so you can relax while away.
“Matthew took fantastic care of our dog Swinky! He made sure to get all the information from us to take good care of our dog. He also made Swinky feel relaxed and comfortable during the week that Matthew looked after him.”
About: I have first hand experience with having a dog I adopted a dog in 2021 and took care of him on my own, I unfortunately had to put my fur baby down in April. While I had him we did training sessions and basic command training. I also am educated in working with anxious dogs as my baby was very anxious. I also grew up with cats and dogs my whole life as well. I also am in veterinary nursing school at Harcum and can work with animals who need medical assistance. I am currently in school for veterinary nursing, Although I am only at school for a few hours a day. Other than that I am home. I also live 15 minutes from campus. I do not have a yard, but I love walking dogs, and have been trained in how to properly walk dogs in a training I took my dog to. I also have the ability to crate the dog when needed, and can accommodate to any of your pets needs.
“Maria was amazing! A true dog lover! She is very sweet. She took great care of our Logan with continuous communication and pictures. You should definitely book her as will I the next time I travel. Thank you Maria for taken such good care of our boy!”
“Tielian takes excellent care of my pet and walks him every day. She even lets him sleep in the bed, whereas at home, my pet is maximum allowed to sleep on the sofa. She sent daily photos to share updates. I would definitely come back and recommend her to other friends.”

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.
This was my first time boarding my dog Lulu with Ami and James. Ami and James are great communicators and kept me posted on Lulu's walks, sleep, eating habits and provided lots of pictures. A few days into her stay, Lulu started with bloody stools/diarrhea. They were quick to let me know and ask what I thought would help. After a day or two, her condition did not improve, and we made arrangements for her to see her vet. Ami took her over the next morning and kept me posted on the recommendations which were low fat food and probiotics that could be purchased at the vet clinic. Ami and James followed all of the doctor's instructions to the letter, and kept me posted on Lulu's progress which was pretty quick. I could not ask for better care than what was provided by Ami and James and was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation knowing that Lulu was in good hands.
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!😍
Avery is amazing! Truly. She watched out pup at her home for a week while we were on vacation. Everything went beyond smoothly and our pup had the time of her life. It’s like she got a vacation too. Avery gave her so much love and attention. She is also an excellent communicator! We got photos and updates everyday. We are so grateful to her!!
We absolutely love this sitter! Our "pup" Rocky always has a great time, no matter how long we leave him. He always comes back smelling fresh and in amazingly great spirits. This is not always the case with other sitters. Danyele and her entire family are amazing and a wonderful home-away-from home for Rocky. Thanks Danyele!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Chester on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,073 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Chester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of West Chester sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which West Chester landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Chester home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 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 .
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.
