About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always been something that comes naturally to me! I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s playing, going for walks, giving them lots of attention, or just keeping them company. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same love and care I’d give my own! I am a current physician assistant student so on the weekdays I am free after 4 and I am free all day on then weekends! I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles! I’m also respectful of the client’s home and make sure everything is clean and cared for before I leave. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own!

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.

About: I am a proud pet parent to two fur babies, a pug and tabby cat. Our pets are important members of our family. Your pet will get the love and care they deserve while you are away. I know the importance of trusting a good pet sitter. I work part-time. I have flexibility in my day as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of availability in the summer as well. I can care for pets in my home. They would be a good playmate for my dog. We have a fenced in yard. My dog loves walks. I would follow your specific instructions when coming into your home.

About: I’ve always loved animals, and loved a medium sized dog in my home growing up for about 9-10 years. Since having him I’ve pet sat for friends, family, family friends as requested. I’ve watched dogs overnight and for up to 9 or so consecutive months, and I’ve watched two cats for 3 months. I’ve helped my mom care for her pitbull puppy and her pointer. Any pet I watch I will love as if they were my own; and if I’m coming for an extended stay, I make sure the house is nice, clean, and smelling good so the owner can relax as much as possible coming home. Happy to do walks, feedings, extended stays, I’m not the most experienced in grooming but am willing to get the practice in if the trust is there. Let me know what you need and I’ll do what I can to support you and your fur baby🥰. I work a lot as an actor/performer, and am in between gigs. So my schedule is primarily dedicated to pet care outside of daily responsibilities When in my clients homes I stick to their rules with their pets. So if dogs on the bed/couch are a no, I’ll respect that. My goal is to make my clients animal as comfortable as possible. I even like seeing them sometime before the scheduled visit to see how our chemistry is, though I haven’t had had any bad visits. In my home I’ll care for them in the same fashion. Make sure they’re feed, take them for walks (if they’re walkers), cuddle and make sure they feel loved.

About: Having grown up with dogs and cats (...and a couple birds and a hedgehog), and working in pet care/pet sitting on and off for about 12 years I've seen and known a lot of weird, wonderful, sweet, and silly pets. I think my attention to detail sets me apart. I want to know what keeps your fur babies calm & happy. I want to know what stresses them out so we can steer clear: whether it's the sound of skateboards or rolling suitcases, fellow wildlife, or even people. I'm ready to redirect your nearly perfect pet away from their favorite forbidden roadside snack. I also have experience administering medications. I look forward to working with you! I currently do pet care and pet sitting part time and some other gig work (varies from week to week) while I look for other full-time work. I aim to mimic your pets lifestyle when they're in my care to make things as comfortable as possible for them. We're gonna cuddle, we're gonna play!

About: I love animals and enjoy spending time with pets as much as I can. I'm patient, attentive, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routines. I will follow all of your instructions carefully and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you're away!

I'll communicate clearly about my availability and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs and scheduling before confirming a booking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I'll follow your instructions about feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or rules. I'll make sure your pet is supervised appropriately, kept secure on walks, and treated with patience and care. I'll also keep you updated during bookings so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats regularly since I was little. I adopted my first cat at 2 years old from the SPCA after begging my mom for months. I started to pet sit for neighbors in my apartment complex when I was 13. This ranged from dogs, cats, a couple lizards, and even a few fish. I worked with animals from all types of age ranges and disabilities. If you would like to work with me please reach out! I’d love to work with you and your furry best friend. I am currently working full time! I am available to watch your pets Monday-Friday day or night. My weekend availability is limited but I am willing to work with you to create a schedule that works for both of us. I’m an experienced pet owner and sitter. My goal is to earn your pets trust, understand their boundaries, and make sure that their comfort is being cared for. The same goes for you as the pet owner.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bala-Cynwyd

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bala-Cynwyd is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $36 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 9,477 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 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 Bala-Cynwyd 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 Bala-Cynwyd. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
