About: I've had pets since I was 6, ranging from an older Jack Russel Terrier, shy/abused German Shepherd/Rottweiler, and now a hyper Pitbull! I accept the personalities of all animals I currently work a full-time job. I have flexible lunch breaks and can contribute to care within the 11-1 PM schedule. I am available after 3:30 PM until 8 PM every weekday if given 2-3 days notice. On weekends, if I am not traveling, I can be flexible. I am an early riser!!! So if you need a 6 AM walk, I am SUPER happy to oblige. I'm available to take dogs on walks, supervise play time in a fenced in area, or adjust to whatever exercise your dog may need. I'm happy to feed and water them and provide care specific to their needs.

“Beth did such an amazing job and was so patient with Betsy who can be very shy at first. Beth went the extra mile and came and met Betsy ahead of time to make her more comfortable. She sent updates of their walk and showed so much care towards Betsy. I highly recommend Beth, she is great with dogs and is a very reliable and outstanding dog walker!”

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, and have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age, and I’ve frequently cared for neighbor’s dogs. I’m very good with puppies as well as seniors. I have extensive experience caring for animals, including being a veterinary technician at a vet hospital. Im currently a full time college student, but with multiple long breaks between classes I’ll be able to care for your animals. On weekends, I have no classes so I’ll be available for your animals anytime. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I have a fully fenced in yard. I have two sisters who are full of energy who would love to play with any dog that will walk past them, as well as two friendly dogs

About: Being a pet owner (of all types) most of my adult life has blessed me in ways I can't even put into words. I have looked after 8 week old puppies as well as cared for the elderly. It would be my honor to look after and care for your four-legged family members in the same way I would want my "kiddos" to be looked after. I will always put them first and I will ensure that they receive the same love and affection that they would receive from you during every visit/stay. I love to send my clients pictures during those days/nights that they are away, and give them that assurance that their pet is in good hands and is being well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Ariel and I'm here to take care of your pet. I have owned at least one dog my entire life. I also had cats so I am a dog and cat lover! One of my own dogs was diabetic so I have experience with insulin injections and administering medicine to animals. From taking care of my diabetic pet, I am very reliable and on time as I know some animals must stick to their schedule. While I have my own personal experience with pets, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter in Wilmington. There I have walked dogs, taken care of puppies, cared for cats and other animals (there was once a cute pig named Hamlet). I love working with and taking care of animals. I treat my dog like a member of the family and more specifically like my own baby. I'd love to care for your member of the family too! I'll treat them as if they were my own so you know your pet will be in safe and loving hands. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please feel free to ask!

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

About: Hi, I'm Erica! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover who believes pets deserve more than just someone stopping by to check on them. They deserve dependable, loving care from someone who takes the time to understand their personalities, routines, and individual needs. With 15 years of experience caring for animals, I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your furry family members. Whether you need a regular walking buddy for your dog, drop-in visits while you're at work, or overnight care while you're away, I'd love to become someone you and your pets can count on! 🐕 Dog Walking: From energetic pups who love exploring to older dogs who prefer a slower stroll, I tailor walks to your dog's pace, personality, and needs. I especially love building relationships with dogs I see regularly! 🏡 Drop-In Visits: Perfect for busy workdays, long shifts, or times when your pets need a little extra attention. Visits can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. 🌙 Overnight House Sitting: Traveling or planning a getaway? I provide attentive care in the comfort of your pet's own home, helping them maintain their familiar routine while you're away. Why pet parents choose me: ❤️ Personalized attention based on your pet's needs and personality 🐾 Experience with different breeds, sizes, and energy levels 📸 Thoughtful communication and photo updates 🏡 Respect for your home and your pet's established routines 🤝 A commitment to building lasting relationships with pets and their people I especially welcome recurring clients! Having a familiar face can make a big difference in your pet's comfort and happiness. I love getting to know their little quirks, favorite toys, walking routes, and daily routines. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet's day happier, whether that's through a weekly walking schedule or occasional overnight care. I'd love to meet you and your furry family members! Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet's needs and how I can help. 🐶🐱 I offer flexible scheduling for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting, with a special interest in building long-term relationships with recurring clients! Whether your dog needs a midday walk a few days a week, your pets need regular check-ins during work hours, or you're planning an upcoming trip, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for your household. I especially enjoy providing consistent care so pets can become comfortable with a familiar face and routine. Feel free to message me about bookings. I look forward to learning how I can help! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your furry family members in their care. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to provide the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you're away. Whether it's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet's unique personality and needs. I'm always mindful of safety, including securing doors and gates, using proper leashes and harnesses, and paying close attention to your pet's behavior and surroundings. I also treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is left clean, secure, and just as you left it. Communication is especially important to me! I love providing updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing and enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Above all, my goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I want your pets to feel comfortable seeing a familiar face and for you to feel confident knowing they're in caring, dependable hands!

About: Hi I’m Jess! I’ve previously worked for petsmart and have owned pets all of my life! I’ve got experience as a bird owner for over 30 years with multiple types of birds and other animals such as dogs, cats, and handling small critters at Petsmart. I have volunteer experience with rescue dogs at a rescue in Pa in my twenties, volunteered at Tri State Bird Rescue, and Forgotten Cats for many years. I have been a sitter for dogs of all sizes including a coon hound, pit mix, corgi, and a golden doodle. I’ve even made homemade dog food when necessary! I have also been a sitter for cats! I’m willing to get my hands dirty and am used to cleaning up for and bathing dogs in my home as well! I love the outdoors and walking dogs, so your dog will get plenty of outside time. There is a state park close to my home that I frequent. If you have other animals in your home like Guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, lizards, etc I can care for them too with my knowledge from working at Petsmart. Helping me will be my significant other who currently works for petsmart also. I’m an animal lover at heart and will take great care of your pet as if it were my own! I’m home 24/7 to care for your pet, with a very flexible open schedule. I have nothing but lots of time to devote to your pet. I have a safe apartment complex with other leashed dogs that are all friendly surrounding me. My home is smoke free and we don’t use aerosols or candles due to owning birds. Our birds are kept separate from your animals and your pet will be supervised and played with and let out for potty breaks and walks every hour or two.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Arden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 8,418 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Arden. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Arden after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arden. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
