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: 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.
“Ariana was so sweet and responsive. She took great care of our big sweet boy. He took some pictures too which is nice. We will definitely keep using Ariana for walking Rio. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi there! I have experience working with young puppies, adult dogs, and elderly friends. I’ve worked with both high-energy and low-energy dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs with mobility issues. I am so excited to meet your pup and help you out in the process! As a certified dog handler with my local shelter, I’ve received training for safe handling practices, especially with dogs that are new to me. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands. During the summer, I typically work Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:00 pm, so I am available for morning and evening drop-ins/walks only. During the school year, my schedule is more varied: Sundays - available until 11:00 am and after 7:00 pm Monday, Wednesday - available until 8:00 am and after 6:00 pm Tuesday, Thursday - available until 12:00 pm, and after 9:00 pm Friday, Saturday - available all day You can rest assured that I will take the very best care of your pup. I take safety very seriously and will do whatever you prefer for your pet’s needs and comfortability.
“Paul is truly the greatest pet sitter and human on the planet!!! Not only does he care for Mr. Xur in the best way but he’s also helped us out so many times on VERY short notice. 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!”
“Courtney was great! We met a week in advance at a meet and greet, so she could meet Macaroni and I could show her around. The day of, she was communicative, took lots of great pictures and reassured me Macaroni was doing great!”
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.
“Words simply cannot express how grateful I am for Ami and James. Ami went wayyy above and beyond for us and our fur babies. They sent me messages when they were enroute to our home which put my mind at ease. Then, photos and/or videos were "worth a thousand words" as the saying goes. Ami is literally a lifesaver. I will definitely be booking again. (Thanks again, Ami.)”
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’m a huge animal lover who connects with pets quickly and genuinely loves caring for them. Expect lots of affection, detailed updates, and someone who will learn their quirks fast and cater to them accordingly. Their happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priorities! I’m a freelance musician with a flexible schedule and great availability during regular weekday hours. Being my own boss allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, consistency, and care—I love using that flexibility to spend time with all the furry friends I meet 🐾 I respect your home and treat it with the utmost care while I’m there. I only use what’s necessary to care for your pet and always make sure everything is left just as I found it. My focus is on providing attentive, reliable care for your pet while being mindful that I’m a guest in your space.
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!
About: I've owned and cared for my dog for 14 years, including daily walks, feeding, and general care. While I'm new to professional dog walking, I'm reliable, responsible, and comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am available early mornings through 4:00 PM, Monday through Thursday. I am pretty flexible within those hours and happy to accommodate regular walking schedules. I follow your instructions and stick to your pet’s usual routine. I keep dogs safe and leashed on walks and make sure they’re comfortable and doing well the whole time.
“I know a couple of people that have used,worked at Rover or used to work for them, and I'm so glad I chose them. Easy to download the app, pick who you would hopefully be a good fit, etc ...and they come to your house for a meet and greet which is a plus for both the clients and sitter's. I was hesitant because we adopted both dogs, one just in Feb and they are a handful together, but Sara was an excellent sitter knowing how nervous I was to leave for 4 days; she texted me back, sent me pictures and made sure I knew they were doing good and that they were getting along. I highly recommend Rover and of course Sara. I worked with the elderly and with special needs children so I know how important it is to trust and be trusted with someone coming into your home and feeling comfortable and appreciate. Sara went above and beyond to make sure I knew my dogs were safe and being taken care of.”

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.

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.
