About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with three large Goldendoodles and have also had five cats, so pets have always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I was responsible for feeding and walking our dogs and making sure they were happy, exercised, and well cared for. I also have experience pet sitting for neighbors while they were away, caring for both dogs and cats. I would feed them, take them on walks, spend time with them, and make sure they were comfortable and well cared for while their owners were gone. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Since I work from home, I also have flexibility during the day for walks and drop-in visits. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, around lunch, and in the evenings on weekdays. My availability can vary slightly depending on my work schedule that day, but I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to find a time that works best for you and your pet. I’m also available for some weekend visits with advance notice. I do not offer boarding or care in my own home. I provide care in the client’s home and on walks, following each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and general care while you’re away. I’ll make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and get plenty of attention. I also make sure to leave your home clean and secure after each visit. I do not offer boarding or care in my own home.
“Libby is a fantastic dog sitter! She took good care of my dog during her visits and provided great updates. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet(s).”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 30 years. I have played with crazy puppies and I have cuddled with those in their old age. I have a very flexible schedule and I am comfortable with all breeds. I have a very open schedule. Morning, afternoons and early evening are available. I am open to working any day of the week as well. I would care for the pets in their home the same way I would my own - with love, care and playfulness. All pets deserve love and care.
About: I’ve always grown up with pets. Ever since I could remember I’ve been the biggest animal lover. I believe every pet deserves love, happiness, and of course, plenty of belly rubs! I am currently a student at West Chester University with a semi flexible schedule. my availability varies depending on my class schedule, but I am more than happy to work with you to find the best time for you and your pets.! As an animal lover and a pet owner myself, I know how important it is for certain aspects to be based on routine. I will always treat your pets and your home as I would want mine to be treated!
“Christie did a wonderful job tending to my two cats. One who isn't very social with other people besides myself seemed to come out of his shell a little bit. I'm certain if Christie had a couple more visits, Bootsy would have let her pet him. I would definitely book Christie again!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them and making them happy is something I really enjoy ☺️ Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers. I’ve welcomed dogs into my home and loved them as if they were my own, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving them lots of attention, feeding them according to their family’s wishes, and giving them extra love and care when they aren’t feeling their best. I also love visiting dogs in their own homes, where I can keep them company, take them for walks, play with them, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’ve cared for cats in their homes as well, making sure they have fresh food and water, some playtime and attention, and a safe and secure home while their families are away. For me, pet sitting is making sure your pets feel loved, cared for, and never alone. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I would want for my own❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks Monday through Friday starting at 3 PM, and I’m open and flexible for any needs you may have all day Saturday and Sunday. I love being able to give pets the attention, care, exercise, and companionship they need while their families are away ❤️ I care for pets in my home and in my clients’ homes with lots of love, patience, and attention. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I love spending time with them, playing, going for walks, giving cuddles, and simply keeping them company so they never feel lonely. When pets stay in my home, they are truly treated like family. If they’re comfortable and their owners are okay with it, they’re even welcome to sleep on my bed with me! When I visit pets in their own homes, I follow their routines and their family’s instructions carefully. I want them to feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while still getting plenty of love, attention, and reassurance. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I would care for yours the same way I’d want someone to care for mine.

“I seriously could not recommend someone more than laura. She has been so amazing and attentive with scout. Scout doesn't do well alone but we are trying to work on that and she has done such a great job. She takes the best care of him and has become a best buddy to scout. I am booking her for the rest of my semester to help out with my baby and recommend her to EVERYONE!!”

Always reliable, and always sending the best photos and best notes of how our kitty is doing 🧡 Paul we love you!! Thank you for all your help!”
“Highly recommend Regan, she took great care of our 4 month old pup. She went the extra mile to make sure he settled down before leaving and kept us in the loop the whole time.”
“Leigh was great and so flexible with my last minutes needs! Every detail was followed and Duch was well taken care of! I definitely recommend Leigh and will be rebooking in the future!!”

Pet 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!
Leanne took care of our 2 sometimes hostile cats while we were away. She was very consistent with her timing. She sent lots of great pics. I’m almost positive one of the cats would consider her a friend at this point lol. She went above and beyond everyday and I would definitely rehire her.
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!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
