About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child. From puppies and kittens to old dogs and cats. I have fostered and sat for friends and family. I have a dog of my own who’s a very active breed so I am constantly playing or walking with her. My family has two cats and they are a blast to play with or just hangout with. I can create a nice environment for your pet, however you see fit. For active dogs we can go on walks or find a fenced in area to play.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the fact that I will love and care for your dog as if it was my own. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors dogs for about 2 years now, so I’m experienced with different types of dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. There’s a lot of times within the day where I will be able to stop by and check on your dog! I provide loving and reliable pet care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Matt. I love dogs and enjoy giving them a calm, comfortable place to stay while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have often helped care for my parents’ and sister’s dogs, so I know how important it is to have someone dependable who treats your dog like part of the family. I work from home in health IT consulting, which allows me to be present during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and general companionship. I only take one client at a time, so your dog will get plenty of individual attention and will not be in a crowded boarding environment. I live in a quiet, owner-occupied apartment in West Chester with no children and no other pets. My home is best for small or mid-sized dogs who are comfortable in an apartment setting. While I do not have a fenced yard, I take dogs out for supervised leash walks, and the neighborhood has grassy areas and light local traffic. I’m happy to provide daily exercise, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and oral medication administration if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed if that is what they are used to at home. For safety and comfort, I always like to do a meet and greet before confirming a stay to make sure it is a good fit for your dog, your expectations, and my home environment. I can also provide recommendations/references from people whose dogs I have cared for. I currently accept dogs over 1 year old, crate-trained dogs only, and no females in heat. I’m especially a good fit for dogs who do well in a quieter home and enjoy walks, attention, and a predictable routine. Overnight boarding is based on Rover’s 24-hour booking period. I’m always happy to clarify drop-off and pick-up timing before a stay so there are no surprises. I look forward to helping your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I work from home in health IT consulting and have flexibility throughout the day. I’m usually home during the workday, which allows me to provide regular attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. During a typical day, I can take dogs out for potty breaks every 2–4 hours and provide walks or exercise based on the dog’s needs, energy level, and the weather. I also build in time for play, rest, and keeping the dog comfortable in a calm home environment. Because I only take one client at a time, I’m able to keep the schedule focused on that dog’s normal routine as much as possible. I ask owners to share feeding times, walk preferences, medication needs, crate routines, and any special instructions so I can keep their dog’s care consistent and predictable while they are away. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for dogs in my home. I live in a quiet, owner-occupied apartment with no children and no other pets, and I only take one client at a time so each dog receives individual attention. Before confirming a stay, I always prefer to do a meet and greet to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, my home, and the overall environment. I want both the owner and the dog to feel confident that it is a good fit. During a stay, I follow the owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, walking preferences, and any behavioral or comfort needs. I provide regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, supervised leashed walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Since I work from home, I am usually able to give dogs attention and supervision during the day. Dogs are welcome on furniture and the bed if that matches their routine at home. I do not have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised and on leash. My neighborhood has grassy areas and light local traffic, which makes it a good setting for regular walks. For safety and comfort, I currently accept dogs over 1 year old, crate-trained dogs only, and no females in heat. I can also provide oral medication administration when needed. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Chester
Jessica is the best! She lets our pup out every single weekday religiously, takes her for walks, plays with her, lifeguards for her, and even dries her off afterwards! I knew Jessica would be great for our dog because she is a multiple-pet owner herself, and has years of experience with dogs and cats. I honestly and truly trust that our dog is in good hands with Jessica!

Leanne was fantastic with our senior dog. He got over-excited when she arrived and had a little mental episode but she was wonderful with him and understanding. The rest of the visit was fantastic, as she made sure he was comfortable and aware that he wasn’t alone. (He has separation anxiety) We could not recommend her enough!

Abigail was exactly what I was hoping to find. You never know when hiring a new person to watch your furry friend, but she exceeding my expectations. My pup seemed to love her and she made it a very good experience for me too. Lots of updates and pics. Thanks again

Gillian was lovely! Tuxedo took to her right away during our meet and greet and seems so happy to see her for their walks. Gillian was so easy to work with and sent me photos and updates throughout their time together. Will definitely be re-booking in the future!

I just started using Beth as my dog walker and she has been amazing! She is very reliable, always on time and she also responds to my messages in a timely manner. My dog Finn loves her, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to walk their dog!

Alicia watched my dog while I was on vacation for the second straight summer. I was once again blown away with her care for my dog and the detailed info of each visit along with photos and videos. I recommend using Alicia to care for your pet. She is hands down top notch!
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!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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 .
