About: I’ve helped take care of my family’s pets for over 6 years, sometimes even on my own as the sole pet sitter. I’ve been the sole pet sitter while my sister was on vacation multiple times, making sure that her two cats were always well fed, played with, looked after, and had a clean litter box. I also helped take care of an anxious dog before, with me as the sole caretaker for a week. Aside from the regular walking, feeding, and playing I also helped calm her down during thunderstorms and made sure she was happy. I also have experience taking care of a dog and cats in the same living space, getting to understand how they bond and play together. With my family’s pets, I’ve helped them through difficult times in regards to their health, giving extra care when they were sick and paying attention to their specific dietary needs. I loved to cuddle and play with the cats because it helps me share in the joy that they were always in. I would fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine by setting aside a half hour or full hour multiple times a week to walk a dog or drop in to a client’s home to feed their pet or pets while they are away. I would clean litter boxes, take dogs out for walks and clean up after them, and play with pets using their favorite toys. I would care for pets in my client’s home and respect their space, only moving things around to get to cat toys or clean up after pets’ messes.
“Stacey is an awesome dog walker and she really cares about the dogs she walks. She has great availability even on short notice and during the work week. I would definitely recommend having her to take care of your best friends!! 🦮🐕🦺🦴 ❤️❤️❤️”
“Abby is absolutely wonderful! My large energetic dog is blind and doesnt have the best manners! My dog pulls on leash and is a wild child! Abby is so kind, has the patience of a saint, and is dependable! If your on the fence, dont be, your pets will be in great hands!”
“Zahira, is a wonderful dog walker. We did a meet and greet , and I knew that she was a good match for Chewy. Chewy before Zahira started walking him suffered from anxiety when I would leave the house for work. Chewy acts much calmer and looks forward to Zahira walking and cuddling him.”
“Monica is amazing! I have only used her a few times so far but will definitely be using her in the future as well. My dog loves her and will happily follow her anywhere! She is responsive, great with dogs, and sends many updates and pics!”
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs in my life & all of them I have trained from puppyhood into adulthood. I make sure life is full of play, adventure, and structure. I have been a reliable pet sitter for many of my friends & family! I currently WFH and have a 5 month old puppy. I am able to visit during the daytime starting early afternoon and into the evenings for play, walks, as well as enrichment/activities. I treat your pet and your home as I would mine or if a visitor came to mine. I understand putting the most valuable things in your life into the care of someone else and I take that very seriously. I guarantee professionalism and a visit that follows your instructions from the moment I park, along with your desired routine for your pet during the visit and from locking up and leaving to ensure your pets safety and comfortability.
“Mary has been amazing walking my dog everyday while I'm at work. Unfortunately I was laid off so I won't need a dog walker, but if you can get Mary to be yours she will be amazing!”
“Seoyeong was absolutely amazing and my Harley is missing her already! She was prompt and gave Harley lots of love and attention while I was away between the long walks, meal preparation, and cuddles and pets. We will certainly be using her services again in the near future!”
About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my schedule becomes a bit more dynamic. Feel free to reach out and see if our availabilities are a match! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!
About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppies to seniors. I have been fostering cats and puppies the past 4 years while they were waiting for their forever homes. With my own dogs I worked on leash training as well as house training! I am currently in grad school at UPenn and have classes on Mondays and Thursdays. I am looking to fill my time when I am not in class and have very open availablity! I will come into your home and make sure your pets feel safe with me. I will hope to learn their personality’s and become on of their new favorite people! I will always send pictures and videos of your pets as well while I am with them!
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
About: First of all I would like to say that I love dogs. But doesn’t everyone? I have had dogs since I was a little child, labrador retriever and a German Shepherd. I have two children living with me and the third teenager on most weekends. We all love dogs. I can take your dog to the local dog park and run with him/her or I can take them to your neighborhood to walk or mine your preference. I also have an American hairless terrier who doesn’t like the cold or the rain LOL. I also have a kitten that’s about six months old and they get along very well. I am very flexible with pick up and drop off times and I understand that life happens and I can accommodate most requests for changes.
“Maddie gives great services to my Sammy. She's always on time and has not missed any time since she started with Sammy. She follows through with pictures when walking him, and communicates with me immediately when I reach out to her.”
About: I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!
About: I've loved taking care of dogs of all kinds of my own and friends and family from a young age! Currently I have a two at home and know how much of a part of the family they are. My goal is to meet your needs for your pups and keep them comfortable when you need to be away from home! I am currently a student and only working part time so have plenty of time in the mornings and late afternoon/evening to care for and check in on your pets! I am very open and flexible to you and your pets needs! Comfortable with crating your pup if needed or bringing them out for walks. My goal is to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable based on your routine!
About: I have experience with larger dogs, small dogs, and cats as well. I help cater to any special needs or requests you may have such as administering medicine, special diets, and keeping you updated on their well being. Good for quick walks or staying with your pet overnight. I worked in everyday in Brooklyn, NY as a dog walker/pet sitter from 2019 to 2023. I have since then have been traveling around as a pet sitter for the last two years in-between taking care of some important family business. I have grown up raising German Shepherds all of my life and love to know that I am helping someone's day out by being able to care for their pet while they are not able to. I am currently available for any time and can even travel to you if needed for extended overnight stays. Your pet's needs come first for me. I will care for your pet at your home and follow the routine they are used to. Whatever makes them most comfortable is how I will take good care of them.
About: What sets me apart from other dog caregivers is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I’ve gained from being a dog owner for many years. I currently own a beautiful pit bull that is 11 years old ,her name is Blue. Before my dog Blue, , I owned a miniature pinscher for 14 years who passed away from old age and being ill.I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Especially knowing how important it is to me, when I am away, to know that my dog is cared for fed, and feels safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I do currently work full-time. Although I work full-time, I am done work at 2:30, and off in the summer. My husband has recently passed away. I have a lot more time on my hands to give your pet a lot of love. I am done work early enough that I can get to an owner‘s house for a dinner feeding for your pet, letting your pet out if you have a fenced yard , if not a walk. Playtime for your pet companionship whatever the case may be my weekends are free and my summer . It is then that I could provide overnight stays. Having a dog myself, I would not provide any services at my home, however, I would gladly come to your house, carefully come in, call your dog’s name and provide whatever services you would like. Those services would include a 15 minute visit or a 30 min visit In a 15 minute visit: *Let dog out/ short walk * Fresh water/ feeding *Lots of attention/ affection 20.00 30 min drop in * Walk/yard time *Feeding / water refresh * playtime/ companionship *Poop cleanup * photo text update- 30.00

Zahira, is a wonderful dog walker. We did a meet and greet , and I knew that she was a good match for Chewy. Chewy before Zahira started walking him suffered from anxiety when I would leave the house for work. Chewy acts much calmer and looks forward to Zahira walking and cuddling him.
Matthew has been awesome with my pups! He walks them every weekday like clockwork, and I never have to worry because he’s DEPENDABLE. The highlight of my workday is getting THE BEST PICS he sends—they always brighten my day. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies, Matthew. We really appreciate everything you do!
We’ve had such wonderful experiences with Stacey! Our dog has stayed overnight with her in the past, and she’s also come by to take her for a walk and feed. Stacey always gives the best updates, which gives us so much peace of mind, and it’s clear how much she truly cares. She takes amazing care of our baby every single time. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely — highly recommend! 🐾✨
Jenny has been unbelievably kind and patient with my shy rescue Jesse. He is responding quickly to her positive energy, learning to be friends and allow her to walk him. She has brought her husband Anthony and little daschund so they can walk together, a beautiful healing experience for my unsocialized, scared dog. They are gems and we are so lucky to have we found them!!

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 Blackwood. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackwood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
