“Margaret is fantastic! She always takes excellent care of our kitties while we’re away, and it’s a comfort to see our fur babies doing so well when we come home!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Volunteering at the SPCA, to either play with, clean kennels, walk, and just to hang out and give them love! My neighbors, family, and friends have always relied on me to take care of their dogs while they are away! I am currently working part time but I have a lot of availability throughout the summer to be able to take care of your animals. Anytime I get to either snuggle with dogs/ cats, play with any animal I treat them as if they were my own! Making sure they are comfortable with me before we start having some playtime fun, if I know an animal doesn’t like something I will back away and stop what I’m doing until they are comfortable and calmed down! Keeping your dog in the crate no problem!! Each rule and instructions you give me I will follow to the max! Anything that happens or if needed to be changed due the weather etc. I will update you and let you know! I also send pictures of your furry friends each time I visit so that you can see how they are doing!
About: Hello! My name is Anna, and I am a public school teacher in the area! I am looking to make some extra money in the summers by pet sitting. I have a cat at home named Oliver, who I have had for 7 years. I grew up with large and small dogs, and have experience with rodents and reptiles as well! I have done Rover a few times before in the summers between school years. I love animals and would love to help take care of your fur babies :) Best, Anna C. I am a teacher, so in the summers I am free during most week days. Some weekends I will be at the shore, but I may be home some weekends as well! Until mid June my schedule is a bit more busy but would be willing to take some jobs here and there. I will follow all directions and timelines you give me to keep your fur baby the most comfortable! I am very flexible and would be willing to work with you to make this the most comfortable experience for your pet!
“Alex is the best! She did such a great job watching over our two dogs when we were at work. It really gave us peace of mind leaving for work in the morning knowing that Alex was going to drop by during the day. She left such great report cards and took amazing pictures of our pups :) Highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and enjoy being outside and taking walks! I have a Lab of my own and love her to death and I would treat your dog like it is my own! I have dog sat for a many families as well as my own dogs. The most I have watched was three at a time and I have always had at least two dogs in my household while I was growing up. I have fostered dogs in the past as well through All4Paws volunteer group. *Note: I have a 2 year old spayed lab who gets along with all other dogs so open to play dates together and boarding at my home. Also open to staying at your home go board. Most weekends show unavailable for boarding/house sitting but you can always reach out to see if I’m available Weekly- 5-7am & after 4pm TBD weekends! Morning/early afternoon visits/walks are likely ideal. I can do last minute drop in visits if it’s close to my work but that’ll just depend on my work day I have a dog of my own who loves all dogs! She will be 3 at the end of August & is spayed. No fenced yard at our home
“I know a couple of people that have used,worked at Rover or used to work for them, and I'm so glad I chose them. Easy to download the app, pick who you would hopefully be a good fit, etc ...and they come to your house for a meet and greet which is a plus for both the clients and sitter's. I was hesitant because we adopted both dogs, one just in Feb and they are a handful together, but Sara was an excellent sitter knowing how nervous I was to leave for 4 days; she texted me back, sent me pictures and made sure I knew they were doing good and that they were getting along. I highly recommend Rover and of course Sara. I worked with the elderly and with special needs children so I know how important it is to trust and be trusted with someone coming into your home and feeling comfortable and appreciate. Sara went above and beyond to make sure I knew my dogs were safe and being taken care of.”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of my cocker spaniel! She came 3 times a day and he really felt comfortable with her. Rebecca gave me an update and photos at every visit and an update on how he was , which is really great! She also voiced any concerns she had! Definitely reliable and such a lovely girl!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for my entire life which has given me many skills that I now share with other dog owners. I am very comfortable with walks, playtime, and routines for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love exercising and going on long walks, so I can accommodate for any walking needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention they need while keeping owners updated with pictures so you know that your dog is having a safe and fun time! I am a college student home for the summer, so I am available all day during the week to care for and/or walk your pup! As a lifelong dog owner, I will be sure to treat your dog and your space with the same respect and care that I would my own.
“Lydia was wonderful to work with and our pups loved her! She was very easy going, was great with communication, followed instructions perfectly and sent awesome pictures of our dogs to us every drop in. It was comforting to know our dogs were in such great hands while we were away for the weekend. 10/10 highly recommend hiring Lydia for taking care of your animals!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life! I adopted my childhood dog when I was about 8 years old. I have experience working with pets of all ages and can administer medication, including injections. I don't have a formal job and since this is my summer break from university, I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I can walk pets, take them outside for bathroom breaks frequently, play with them indoors or outdoors, give them medication if necessary, and feed them! I have experience in fulfilling almost any need a pet has.
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs and cats since I was around 10 years old. I have owned dogs all my life, and now own a cat for the last 7 years. I love meeting and spending time with all animals! I’m currently working part time online, with hours that are incredibly flexible. I am always available to take care of your pet! Any day and any time of the day. I am very comfortable with both cats and dogs and own both. I am flexible to work in any type of home and handle many different pet personalities.
About: Everyone underestimates the companionship that animals bring to their owners. Hoping to help out when you can't be there for your pet. I enjoy taking daily walks. I work remotely in the West Chester area so I have a flexible schedule to tend to your pet's needs. I enjoy being outside and being active. I have a large and flat yard but would need to leash your pet for daily walks and outings. I have a small dog myself who enjoys running with me when the weather permits.
“Carly was absolutely wonderful! She paid us two visits to care for our pup. She was reliable, communicative, took good care of our pup and even helped us with a problem in the house while we were away. I would definitely book her again!”
“Alexa was amazing and kept my fur babies happy and entertained during her visits. I will definitely continue to use her whenever we’re out of town and can’t take them with us. AMAZING JOB!!!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch my puppy Claire! My puppy warmed up so quickly to her and she did the best she could even through a snowstorm to make sure Claire was fed and walked throughout the day! She was very attentive and would recommend her if you have a dog that is very shy of new people. I will definitely be going to her in the future for great care for my dogs !!”
“Brady is terrific with my three Aussies. He is reliable and great at communicating. He has made sure to take time to meet and greet and get to know them. Already have rebooked several times!”
About: I have owned and loved pets my entire life! I grew up and still live on a farm with dogs and a cat. I’m reliable and productive with all my work. I can check on any animal at any time throughout the day! I coach lacrosse for 2 hours in the evening 2 days a week and occasionally have a tournament on the weekend! I wouldn’t be able to have pets in my home but I will care for your pets like they are my own. I can walk, play with, pet, love, feed and care for your pets in any way needed !

Ariana has been wonderful! She’s dropping in multiple times a day/week to care for my very young puppy who’s working on potty training. She’s gentle and sweet with her! My work schedule can vary weekly and Ariana has been so flexible in accommodating which is greatly appreciated! She’s a great puppy sitter!
Damen has been caring for my two pups and two cats while we are working. He is absolutely amazing with our animals! He came and met our animals and to see where everything was for them! He is incredibly trustworthy and updates me on the animals each time he’s there with pictures and videos! The pups and myself could not recommend him more to take care of your animal needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 8,888 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across West Chester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 West Chester 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.
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 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Chester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Chester. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
