“Hannah was wonderful! She swooped in last minute to save the day before I left for vacation. She did three drop in visits a day. She was prompt, professional and I came home to a VERY happy frenchie. I would recommend 1,000x over. Thank you, Hannah!”
“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!”
“Haley was so attentive and caring about my kittens and took wonderful care of them! She not only fed them carefully, but also spent focused play time together. I think my cats will miss her! I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
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.
About: I love animals and have always loved taking care of them. I have had 3 cats in my life. All of which had different needs, like administering medication and after surgery care. One of my first jobs was regularly walking an American Bulldog, Elvis. He was the sweetest! I’ve dog sat multiple times for a variety of breeds, from golden doodles to bull terriers. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am able to make visits earlier in the morning, during lunch hours, and late afternoon. I plan to keep in communication with you in order to maintain safety & trust while I care for your pets! Maintaining a safe environment is important to me, I plan to make sure my care mimics yours to reduce stress on you pets!
“Abby was great, she communicated along every step and made it easy for me. First time leaving a stranger with access to my home and she made it much easier. I 100% would trust her again.”
“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 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’ve had a dog ever since I was 4 years old. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets as well. I also volunteer at a humane society and take care of the cats there. I’m a recent college graduate looking to make a little extra money to pay for grad school. I’m fully available and flexible at this time. I have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks and play with them. They will always feel loved and supported with me by their side.
About: Ever since I was an adolescence I’ve always been the family member and friend that was entrusted to watch everyone’s dogs for the weekend or just the day and or to walk the dogs! I have always loved dogs and taking care of them. I am a current grad student, so I am usually free in the early mornings and in the evenings besides when I’m in class. I can follow a set of instructions and schedule easily when it comes to providing care. I also will prioritize your pets safety and needs!
“Alex is very attentive to my older pup and gives her love in the way my dog likes best. Alex goes at the pace of your pet and takes time to make them comfortable/figure out what they enjoy. She also communicates in detail about how things are going and how each visit went. I’m new to the city and having Alex take such good care of my dog during my long work days is such a relief. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit!”
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!
About: I've cared for my sister's dog for over 5 years, and she means the world to me. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I treat them like family. I'm a passionate animal lover who values their happiness, comfort, and well-being above all else. Whether it's walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I strive to make every moment special for the pets in my care. I currently work a part-time job, but I’m fully committed to making time for dog sitting on my days off. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate your needs on any days I’m not working at my other job. Caring for animals is my passion, and I’m dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and loving care whenever I’m available. When caring for pets in a clients home, I respect their space and follow any instructions provided carefully. My goal is to make sure the pets feel secure by maintaining regular routines.
About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Chester
Anna was truly amazing and a lifesaver!!! I recently moved to Ocean View and was a little nervous having to find a new dog sitter for my dog Jake since family, friends, and neighbors would always watch him the past 4 years. But I could not have asked for a better experience hiring Anna to check in on him! She agreed to take time out of her busy schedule to do a meet and greet before we went out of town and was more than accommodating to all my crazy dog mom instructions and information overload lol. She was always on time, had great communication prior and during all her drop-in’s, and sent the cutest pictures of Jake! He was so happy when we got home and even ran around to look for her when I took him outside ☺️ Thank you Anna for taking such great care of my baby and easing all my worries about leaving him with someone new!!! 🩷
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Chester is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,900 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Chester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Chester. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
