“Danielle is great! Very responsive to messages and very accommodating to our needs, even with last minute changes due to bad weather or scheduling issues.”
“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!”
“Anthony helped with walks for our two dogs over a long weekend and did great with them! He was easy to communicate with, reliable and professional. Would recommend!”
About: I love animals, basically all animals! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and feel that I know the ins and outs of the "pet world". I may have favorite breeds, but I love them all, both big and small- I love learning about new breeds, so bring it on! I have worked with pitties doodles, a jackchi, and Goldens so far from Rover! I would love to spend time outside, playing, relaxing, and exploring with your dog (and am happy to care for cats if you have those, too!). I am currently unemployed and looking for some part time gigs (like dog walking) to fill my days. I am very open during the weekdays in Roxborough. I will treat your pets and your home just like they are my own. Keeping things clean and tidy is a very easy ask for me.
About: Hi, my name is Shandara. I live in Roxborough and I have a Standard poodle named Biscotti. Biscotti and I love to go on long walks and explore the neighborhood. If you live in the area, you’ve probably seen us around! Biscotti is so adorable and we love to try fun haircuts, so he tends to attract a lot of attention. I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish. I’ve had my own dog now for 5 years and I’ve been trusted by many family members and friends to care for their pets. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the struggle and anxiety that come with needing to find the right care. We all hope for someone responsible and loving who will make our pet feel right at home. My hope is to be that person for you. My goal is to provide exceptional care so you can enjoy your time away knowing that your loved one is in good hands. I recently left my 9-5 in Investment Operations to pursue my dreams of working for myself. I’m home all day, every day of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your fur baby. Finding the right caretaker is an investment and you can rest assured you’re making the right decision with me! I have a small fenced in yard and one friendly dog who would be happy to keep your fur baby company. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet is safe & comfortable whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“Leah is a life saver. My older parents were unable to walk their dog for 6 weeks and Leah was amazing. Twice a day, never late and always great w/ the dog. Highly recommend you give her a try.”
About: I have had my own family dog, Mabel, since 2018. I have been pet sitting for my friends and neighbors for years. I’m always good for a long walk, playtime in the fenced yard, or just relaxing on the couch. I’m a college student home for the summer. I am available every day and night except Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-5. I am flexible to work around your schedule and what works for your pet. My friendly dog, Mabel, who is a Mini Goldendoodle will love to play with your dog in my fenced in yard. All pets will be cared for with my full attention and plenty of pictures will be sent your way!
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.
“Elijah is great with my dog Beckett! They've been on a few walks together so far and I hope for them to go on many more together. Beck is a very energetic dog and we are still working on training but Elijah is very patient with him which is super appreciated.”
About: I have a Bachelors degree in vet nursing and I'm on my way to vet school. I've pet sit for friends and family. I love getting to meet new animals and I love learning about people's experiences with their pets. I also have experience with rabbits, pocket pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, etc), reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish. I am free most days. I'm also available for early morning and late night hours if needed. I am available for repeat dog walks every day or drop ins, I also do house sitting I can easily crate dogs if needed and can lift and restrain heavier dogs. Also, with my vet nursing training I am able to medicate dogs if needed and can help keep an eye on medical concerns.

About: I have been a dog owner my entire life and have always loved being around animals. I currently have two dogs who live with my parents, and while I don’t have any pets in my current apartment, I regularly care for them whenever my parents are traveling. I am also the go-to person for my friends and family when they need someone they trust to watch their dogs while they are away. I have experience caring for dogs ranging from 6 months old to 14 years old and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks, playing outside, and visiting the dog park to help them stay happy and engaged. Since my own dogs don’t live with me right now, I would love the opportunity to give another pup plenty of love, attention, and snuggles while their owners are away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I have just finished my first year of dental school, and I have off classes until September, so I’m free all summer and have plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. Outside of school, I am a very active person who enjoys going to the gym, spending time outdoors, and staying busy. Caring for pets fits perfectly into my routine because I love being active and would enjoy having a furry companion to take on walks, explore outside with, and give lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I am happy to work with different schedules and routines to make sure each pet receives the care and consistency they need while their owners are away. The safety and comfort of every dog I care for is my top priority. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would expect for my own home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also keeping them safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I am very active, so I love taking dogs on walks and providing opportunities for them to get outside and stay engaged. I have spent my entire life around dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and trust. My goal is to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Sabin has been a godsend on days I go into the office! My dog loves him and he clearly loves being around dogs. It’s so great for my dog to get her energy out with walks and play.”
“Elizabeth is very sweet and responsible and my little dog Charlie absolutely loved her. She's also very flexible. I had to change the time for a dog walk and it was no problem at all. I highly recommend her!”
“Natalia went out of her way to keep me informed about her walks with my pup. She also went above and beyond to make sure she knew as much as possible beforehand so they would start off on the right paw! Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn communicates very well and handles different challenges with a great attitude! I also appreciate that she spent some extra time with my dog after their walk.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bala-Cynwyd on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 9,868 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bala-Cynwyd. 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 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.
