About: I’m a dog mom of two - that don’t like other dogs/kids, so I have experience with challenging walks. They live with their grandparents for now, so I have a lots of love, and care to give :) I work pm (3-11:30pm) shifts in center city with random days off, so I’m mostly available in mornings/overnights or certain full days when I have off. My apartment complex has a great green area around the building where I can walk my babies when they visit me. They are allowed on the bed/couch, but they like to sunbath on the fluffy carpet as well. They have a separate area in the dining room so they have space to eat peacefully. My little one also likes to hide with his treats, especially under the bed or table:) I make sure they get enough walks, even when their stomach is bad in the middle of the night. I also like to take them to the Wissahickon park, they love car rides. I would make sure other babies feel comfortable just like mines / or to create a safe and comfortable environment with lots of attention.
“Gianna is a true gem!!! I used her today to walk Bear and Bailee and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was punctual, followed all instructions to the letter communicated thoroughly, provided detailed information and explanations and provided pictures. There’s nothing more I could’ve asked for! I have found the perfect dog walker for Bear and Bailee! Thanks Gianna!”
About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
“Lauren is an exceptional Rover! She walked our dog Gracie every week the better part of six months, even through crazy snow and rain — she was always punctual, highly communicative and proactive about sharing times she was unavailable well in advance, and super sweet with our dog who loved seeing her every day. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Jordan was great with Penelope. She’s a big girl with a lot of personality and he took her on a great walk. He was communicative the whole time and sent very cute pictures.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience fostering puppies, training my own dog, and caring for dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, as well as administering medications when needed. I’ll be sure to take a ton of photos of your pets and send them to you!! I work from home with a flexible schedule, meaning your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. With a little notice, I’m happy to work with your schedule and keep your pet’s routine consistent. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll leave everything clean and exactly as I found it, so you can return to a happy, cared for pet and a home that looks just as you left it. If your pet is staying in my home, they’ll have access to a private, fully fenced dog park that’s rarely used, giving them plenty of space to play, explore, and burn off energy. I’m happy to spend as much time out there with your dog as they enjoy, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun.
“Anthony walks my two dogs and is very good with them; he’s also consistently on time and reliable. After several months of working with him, I am definitely comfortable with him taking on a greater role such as house sitting the dogs.”
“Elizabeth was super sweet and amazing with Artie! She communicated really well, was patient with her, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Artie was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ella was PHENOMENAL! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and sent lots of pictures. She even went above and beyond to help us out when I made a booking error, I really appreciated her exceptional service and the care she gave to my pets. We will absolutely book again!! 10 stars!!!”
“Our greyhound Gini loves Leah! Leah is super professional and has been accommodating towards Gini’s quirks. Leah sends us pictures from their walks and checks in regularly. I’m really glad we found Leah and can trust that she’ll take care of Gini for us 🥰”
“Katie is a fantastic dog walker! She takes great care of Tyson every time, sends photos during the walks, and keeps me updated consistently. Her communication is excellent and it's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve raised three dogs through the puppy stages to senior years. Most recently, I’ve helped my brother and sister-in-law train their chocolate lab puppy, while learning boundaries alongside my senior yellow lab. After being laid off from my full time job, I’m available during the day to help your pup get through the work days! I love taking daytime walks and getting exercise. I respect boundaries and will only enter the areas you need and want me to be in. I will treat your space with utmost respect, and leave it as clean as I would prefer my own home to be.
“Jamie was great looking after our pup while we were gone! We will definitely be booking with her again and cannot recommend her enough. Very responsive, responsible and trustworthy. Five stars!”
“Colette was an amazing dog walker, my dogs absolutely loved her and we will definitely miss her. She was communicative, prompt, and so sweet with our girls. They got to know her car and would get so excited when they saw it coming down our street!”
About: I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone patient, gentle, and trustworthy while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks — and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, brushing, quiet companionship, or simply having someone nearby, I always adjust my care to what helps them feel happiest and most comfortable. For dogs, this may include walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. For cats, I spend time playing, brushing if they enjoy it, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. I kindly ask for at least 3 days’ notice in advance. I’ll always do my best to work around your needs and provide dependable care for your pet. I provide detailed updates and photos for each visit, and I always pay attention to pets’ behavior and comfort level and make sure owners receive updates so they can feel reassured while away. I carefully follow feeding routines, walking instructions, litter box care, fresh water changes, and any special care requests.

Rebecca is amazing. She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. One of my dogs got sick while I was away and she kept me updated on my dogs, cleaned up after them and offered to get food/meds for my dogs. I really can’t say enough good things about her.
Faith is so sweet and great with my tripod senior pitty dog! She’s great at walking the dog, is very communicative during and after the walk, and is great at figuring things out herself if I’m not available. She’s pretty good at reading my dog’s energy to understand what she wants and needs. She’s very patient. I’m only hiring Faith for walks from here on out!
Elizabeth is incredible! We were away, and the family member who was watching our dog needed some extra help. Elizabeth was so flexible and understanding of the situation and was able to help us out with walking our dog. We really appreciated how accommodating she was! We won’t hesitate to reach out to her the next time we need someone to take great care of our dog!
Hannah took great care of Koda while we were away for 8 days! She was patient and understanding, especially on the days when Koda was missing us and wasn’t quite feeling up for her usual walks. Hannah was always on time, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated while we were away. We really appreciated knowing Koda was in good hands!
Lauren is an exceptional Rover! She walked our dog Gracie every week the better part of six months, even through crazy snow and rain — she was always punctual, highly communicative and proactive about sharing times she was unavailable well in advance, and super sweet with our dog who loved seeing her every day. I can’t recommend her enough!!!
Alyssa is so wonderful!! I am thankful and relieved knowing I have a caring and reliable dog walker/sitter for my precious senior dog, Tanner. Alyssa also does a great job giving Tanner his medication after walks. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Alyssa!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bala-Cynwyd on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 your Bala-Cynwyd. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bala-Cynwyd.

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 Bala-Cynwyd. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
