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: 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!
“Margaret is great to work with. She takes great care of our kitties when we are away, and they seem well-adjusted and appropriately pampered when we get back home! We really appreciate her cat-sitting finesse!”
“Rebecca was amazing with our dog, Cooper. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I could tell he was being well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Lydia was a great help for the week with our high energy, young cat. She was easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures throughout the week, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. I definitely recommend Lydia!”
“Liz was wonderful! She came over to meet us and our puppy the evening before our Rover visit. You could tell immediately that she is very comfortable with animals and knows her stuff. She left a very detailed report of the visit, lots of photos, and even washed out our puppy's kibble bowl after her lunch. Liz went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I have had two family dogs, Murphy and Miley, who have been my very best buddies. In addition to having dog- and cat-sat many summers before, my college roommate also had a sweet cat, Phoebe, that I cared for in her absence. I am ready to care for all types of dogs and cats, and I love dog walking! I recently graduated from Clemson University with a biology degree. I am a recent college graduate with a biology degree currently looking for full-time research work. In the meantime, I want to put my deep love for pets to work! As such, my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am well versed in hanging out with dogs and cats. I have lived with both, cared for both, and love to hang out (and cuddle if they like!), play inside, or take long walks with them.
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.
About: Growing up on a farm I have had experience with animals my whole life. I have had small dogs of my own since I was born and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can accommodate almost any pet! I am fully available Thursday evening, Friday-Sunday all day and night. I will have time to give your pets full attention! I will be available to take they out and walk as often as requested. I have a large fenced yard and two small friendly dogs to keep your company or they can be kept separate if you wish. I take the time to ensure all pets are safe and attended to.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been passionate about caring for animals. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I work in healthcare, where attention to detail, patience, compassion, and reliability are essential every day. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work full time Tuesday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with occasional Saturdays, but I’m available for evenings and weekends, and drop-in care. Mondays are bit more flexible as of now , that is subject to change end of August. I have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the special care and attention this breed requires. Because Frenchies can be prone to overheating and breathing difficulties, I closely monitor activity levels, especially during warm weather, and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a comfortable environment, and plenty of rest. As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routine, and overall well-being. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by pet parents and make sure pets receive plenty of love, supervision, and companionship. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, safe environment and treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to provide reliable care and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

While I am much more experienced with dogs, I have also cared for cats, lizards, and fish in the past. I want to give you and your pet the best experience I can through feeding, playing, and walking! I am a student at West Chester University, so I do have classes during the week, but I still have plenty of time to give your pet a great experience!

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.

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.
