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.
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: I’ve been around pets my whole life, from cats to dogs. I love animals with my whole heart and love being around them! I have watched my family and families friends pets. I am currently enrolled at West Chester University so pet care can fit into my weekly routine after my classes are over which is usually around mid day. Pet care can also fit into my weekly routine when I am not working at my part time job. In my clients home I will make sure I have an eye on the pet at all times and make sure they get everything they need. While also making sure they have a fun time with extra snuggles!
About: I have had pets in my home since I was born, and currently have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old back at home with my mom now. I fostered a pup from ACCT Philly for a few months, volunteered at the Humane Society, and often dog-sit for friends/ family. 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: 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 love all types of animals, and I always have. I have been taking care of my dogs as much as I can for the past three years. I have taken care of my family members and friends' dogs for a while. They think of me first because I am caring, considerate, and I can't say no to a cute, fluffy face. I am good at controlling behavior on walks, food-motivated tasks, and getting them to trust me. I hope you will trust me with your pets. I just got done with my 2nd year of college, so I will have plenty of time now to hang out with your animals! I am available any time of day for however long you need me to keep your pet happy. I have a decent-sized yard with a fence, I will keep a close eye on them the whole time, I can crate them if necessary, and I have reliable transportation at any time of day.
“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!!”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Theresa! I have experience working at a pet daycare facility and grew up with dogs and cats of my own. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of breeds and committed to meeting your expectations. My goal is to provide comfort and quality care so you can stress less about your pet while you're away. I work as a part-time dietitian, which is fully remote. My schedule is very open most weekdays and weekends—I may have to take 30-1hr long sessions here and there. Any meetings/disruptions in my schedule will be communicated promptly. I am very flexible in creating a schedule that best meets your needs. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding times and walking schedules to medication administration, so your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. I want them feeling right at home so they're happy while you're away, and you get to relax too! I can’t speak for my previous pet clients, but I’m sure they would rate my service as 5/5 dog bones (or kitty treats)!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Chester
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!

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 .

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.
