“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!”

“Margaret did a wonderful job for us! It was our longest time away from the fur babies yet, but they were calm, healthy, and readjusted quickly once we got home… a sign of good care, for sure! Thanks so much!!”

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.
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!
“Amelie did an amazing job visiting our Bernese mountain dog while we were away. Our dog is anxious with strangers but he was calm and happy when we got home. We can tell that he enjoyed his time with Amelie.”

About: I have had dogs and all sorts of pets in my house my whole life. I have experience with dogs of all types and ages from training puppies only a couple months old to caring for very old dogs. I constantly take care of neighbors and friends dogs when they’re away and I can’t wait to love on yours as well. 💗 I am a rising senior student-athlete at WCU and have a good amount of during the day most days to walk dogs as well as plenty of time most weekends to dog sit/house sit. I always keep on eye on the pet and in the same room as me if dog/housesitting. I give them plenty of love and attention and let them out and for walks whenever needed and instructed. I will love each and every pet I work with as my own!
“Lauren took wonderful care of our cat Rio for a long weekend. He loves being around people, so we always worry about him being lonely. Lauren and Rio were fast friends and we knew he would be in good hands in our absence. :) We would recommmend Lauren and likely book again!”

About: I have been working with dogs for many years; I often worked with the needy dogs at my local shelter when they needed someone to keep them company with. I’m currently working part-time, so I can stop in most times of the day or night to check on your furry friend. I am happy to accommodate your schedule needs in order to take the best care of your pet. I will make sure that your pet feels safe and at ease when I am over to watch them. I pride myself on being a safe space for them to coexist with me.
About: Good day and good night! My name is Khall and I have experience taking care of both small and large dogs. I've regularly performed tasks such as dogwalking, dogsitting, and tending to animal healthcare needs since moving to the Oxford area. My goal is to ensure your little (or big) one is safe, secure and stimulated while you're away! Currently, I work full-time during the morning into the afternoon during the week. Mid to late afternoon and evenings are primarily when I can provide petcare. My availability for Sundays and Mondays are quite open. Wednesday drop-ins can be discussed. In conjuction with keeping known medical issues and habits to watch out for regarding a pet, my approach to safety is to keep a keen eye out and respond to irregularities and concerning behaviors with urgency.
About: I have had a dog since I was 12, and have lots of experience with dogs. I would be very attentive and take care of any dog, how I would want mine to be taken care of. I have some experience with puppies, but most experience with older dogs. I can also provide any updates if needed to keep the owner reassured! My goal is to create a fun and calm environment for any pet! I am currently home for the summer and have lots of free time during the week! I enjoy spending time with animals and being active. There will be consistent attention no matter what the needs are. I’m very reliable and want to maintain any usual routines to make any transition as easy as possible. I take care for pets in a clients home by making sure the pet is comfortable and well taken care of at all times. I can guarantee a familiar environment and create a safe and clean space. My goal is to have pets well cared for and give the owners the reassurance that their pet is on good hands!
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog as well as family and friends dogs for about 10 years. I am able to take long walks, feed, and entertain in general. I consider myself very trustworthy as I’ve had a dog my whole life. I recently just graduated college and am back home in Langhorne so I am free on weekdays any time after 12 pm. I can walk around for some good exercise for the dog or just play in the yard. I live in a great area for nice long walks. If I’m staying at a clients home, I provide lots of cuddles inside as well as fun play time outside.
About: I’ve had my own dog since 2017 and have helped care for him ever since. For the past 5 summers, I’ve also dog sat and house sat for a family friend’s two standard poodles, one elderly dog with hip issues and hearing/vision loss, and one younger, high-energy dog who needed lots of attention and play. Last fall, I cared for the older dog during his final days, helping him stand, supporting him outside, and cleaning up after him when needed. I have also dogsat for my cousin's dogs for multiple days, walking them however much they needed and spending time with them. In addition, I’ve cared for a family friend’s cat by feeding her, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, and spending time with her while they were away. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m waiting to hear back about a summer internship, but even with that I would still be available for evening visits and weekends. If I do not get the internship, I’ll likely be working part-time with varying shifts, which would still allow me to do pet care during the other half of the day and let pets out before and after work. I’m reliable with scheduling and happy to work around your pet’s needs. I have an electric fence but can take will take it out on a leash if they aren't fence trained. I have a dog that is not 100% reliable on how friendly he will be if it is a male but we can easily put him away for a few hours and keep him calm. I would mostly keep a client's pet within their home/neighborhood.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, including walking, feeding, playtime, and keeping company when owners are away. I am reliable and attentive, and happy to follow your dog’s routine and any specific instructions. I know every dog has different needs and personalities, so I’ll take the time to make sure your dog is comfortable, happy, and well cared for! I’m currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week! On Tuesdays through Thursdays, I’m available before 9 AM, in the afternoons, and anytime after 7 PM. On all other days, I have open availability and can be flexible to fit your pet’s needs! Feel free to message with any questions and requests :) I take caring for your pet and home seriously and will always follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and absolutely love caring for animals! 🐾 I currently work at the University of Pennsylvania’s Ryan Veterinary Hospital, and my father is a critical care veterinary nurse, so animals and veterinary care have always been a big part of my life. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your pets like my own! ❤️ I am currently available on weekends and Mondays and Fridays! I have availability Tuesday - Thursday after 6:30pm. I do have a full time job at UPenn’s Veterinary Hospital which is why my availability is limited Tuesday - Thursday. I unfortunately cannot care for pets in my home, as I have two cats of my own. I have no problem coming to your home and following any specific rules you may have for your own fur baby.
About: I have had four years of experience providing dog sitting and walking services to families. I enjoy assisting families by taking care of their pets I am currently a college student. So with my schedule, I have some free time during the days to fit in a decent walk with a pup. I also have some weekends available for house sitting. I feel strongly about being knowledgeable on the safety of my clients' homes for their pets. I will prioritize understanding each of my client's instructions to keep their pets as safe as possible.
About: Who said dogs were the only pets that know how to do tricks? My cat’s (strong) drive for food has helped me in teaching her how to sit, and put up with all of the love I give her. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, even the aloof fur babies. Whether they’re playful and outgoing or shy and independent, I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace.🩵🐈⬛ Watching my boyfriend’s high-energy Rottweiler/Bully mix has given me hands-on experience with a dog that keeps myself, and everyone within a mile radius on their toes! Through a strong amount of patience and unwavering consistency (even with all of his cuteness), I’ve taught him ways to help him develop better manners and impulse control. I’ve learned how to channel his energy into learning new tricks. I’ve become confident in finding ways to help even the most energetic dogs settle down and relax. 💕🐶 I work part time during the week as a support staff for adults with autism. I am available every Monday and Wednesday after 4pm, Tuesdays after 1pm, and Thursdays after 2pm. 😊 I ensure all tiny items a puppy or teething dog can choke on are put away. Leashing before walking outside is a must, even with the most well behaved animals. Double checking that the doors are closed is essential, and will never feed your pet food/treats that have not been approved by you.

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have dog sat multiple times over the past few years. I have also checked in on friends, family members, and neighbors pets regularly. I currently work part-time with lots of time available for pet care. I’m always available on Wednesdays and Saturdays. My schedule the rest of the days varies but my shifts are only a few hours of the day. Your pets safety and well-being are my top priority. I can provide a safe and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable while being attentive and making sure they get the care they need.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Chester
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!

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.
