“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!”
About: Hi everybody! I come from a dog family where I have watched, taken care of, and continue to walk my grandparent’s 2 golden retrievers, my Aussie labradoodle, and my mother’s 3 golden doodles. I currently am a part-time nursing student, work full time at Jefferson Health, and enjoy exercise. I have my Tuesday and Thursday mornings/afternoons (almost exclusively) for dog walking! That being said, if you would prefer a different day of the week or time please reach out so I can accommodate your schedule. Thank you I offer dog walking services for either a 30 minute or 60 minute for the energetic pups! With our family dogs, they love to walk a couple times a week with me, so I am sure that your dogs will too!!
“Amy is so sweet and friendly! She was available pretty quickly for a meet and greet, and my dog immediately warmed up to her! I appreciated her flexibility with walking my dog and sending me detailed reports with pictures. I will definitely rebook Amy for any future needs!”
About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
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 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 everyday in Brooklyn, NY as a dog walker/pet sitter from 2019 to 2023. I have since then 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: I have been a pet owner to most animals over 30 years. I have experience in all breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even alpacas. I love to play with them in the yard, I make sure they have water at all times and I stick with their schedule for eating. Animals are like my children though I do have human older children too. I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have had many dogs over the years and even a few cats. When my children were young they each had their own guinea pig and chicken. Yes I said chicken.!! I recently bought an alpaca who lives on a beautiful farm and I go and visit him often. My main job I work from home but my pets are never by themselves for longer than 4-5 hours. I have owned pets my whole adult life and could never see myself not having this wonderful responsibility! I make sure when arriving at a clients house that I greet each pet. Then we got outside for potty break and playtime. I normally stay about 30 minutes. I make sure they have fresh water and give them a treat if allowed.
About: I grew up owning cats and dogs my entire life. As an adult, I’ve been a pet owner for the past 20 years. My dog that has since passed away was a Jack Russell that was in my wedding serving is the ring barer. I currently have two dogs (Rottweiler and Chihuahua) and a cat. I’ve had no issues in the past with potty training my dogs and keeping them socialized by having them attend my children’s sports events and taking them to local dog parks. I’m not currently working. My hours are very flexible. I am married and have two children. A daughter (13 yrs old) and son (10 yrs old). Both very active in sports . We’ve owned our home in Somerdale for 17 years. 🩷 🏡🐕🦺🐶🐈⬛ I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. Our cat is indoor and outdoor so he’s very independent. We live in a smoke free home and clean environment.
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.
“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: Hi! My name is Danielle. I am 35 years old and I am a very outgoing and active girl. I work full time at a cardiologist office but have a lot of free time after work and on the weekends. I am an animal lover and have had dogs my whole life. As well as caring for my own dogs, I have lots of experience watching family and friends dogs while they are away. I have experience watching dogs small to large. My first time sitting I watched 4 big dogs so don’t worry if you have more then one! ;) I am trustworthy, reliable, and flexible. You can go away knowing your pets and your home are in good hands! I will love your dogs as if they were my own and will give endless tummy rubs. I know it’s important for your pet to feel loved and cared for while you are on a vacation, or just an overnight trip so that’s why I started doing rover. I love sending pictures/videos and sending you updates just so you know they are having a great time and are comfortable while you are away. I can start as soon as possible and have no problem traveling. I hope to hear from you soon! Yours Truly, Danielle
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12! I have been my family friends’ go-to pet sitter when they travel and take care of my brother’s dog for weeks at a time. I’m currently in school and my schedule varies, but I usually have free time in between classes and would love to use my extra time to spend with your pet! I will respect your home as my own and love your pet as my own too. I am a very neat, organized, and dependable person.
“Morgan was amazing taking care of our pets while we were away. She took so many pictures and sent us updates daily! Would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and my ability to tailor care to each dog’s needs. I’m patient with puppies, helping reinforce routines like potty training and leash skills, and attentive with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I keep dogs on their usual schedule, prioritize safety, and make sure they feel calm, secure, and loved while in my care. As a college student with a part-time job, I have a flexible schedule with days off dedicated to pet care, along with daily experience caring for my own dogs. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s pace and energy level, ensuring exercise, bathroom breaks, and comfort during every visit.
“Bracey is a dream dog walker. She was super communicative, reliable, and very clearly loves caring for animals. She sends great photos and notes and even does training exercises with our dog, Margo. We have already booked our next series of appointments.”
About: Lauren here! I have always had multiple dogs in my home of various sizes. Having such a vast array of dogs means I’ve handled all kinds of personalities and lifestyles, such as: the various walkers - off leash dogs to 120 lb dog that pulls, various energy levels, even various health issues - kidney disease, thyroid issues, hip dysplasia, bladder stones, eye issues. We have always had cats, as well, so I completely understand the importance of cleaning out the litter box, providing fresh water, and even just being there for your cat whether they want some scratches or to play. With cats, I also have plenty of experience administering medicine orally, SQ & transdermal. In May 2020, I graduated with my degree in Chemistry-Biology from West Chester University that I hope to use working with animals. During my college career, I shadowed at a veterinary office for two months. During that time, I got to oversee surgeries, injections, and daily routines. For a year after college, I had been working in a veterinary office - assisting in appointments, administering medication, becoming familiar with various medications and dosaging, & even just noticing the small details. Dogs, cats, & all pets are family, they deserve the best kind of treatment and love! I promise I can be the one to give your pets nothing less than the best! I work Sun-Thurs, typically 9-4. Outside of those hours, your pet is my main priority! I can head right to your pet(s) after work. As long as their medication or potty breaks work with my schedule, which I will always be 100% transparent and honest if they do not. Your pet deserves the best! Inside the home, pets are welcome on the couch, the bed, the various dog beds, blankets - truly whatever they please. Any special requirements you have for your dog, I will work into my routine so your dog has that same consistency as they do in their own home - that could be: a special diet, a stricter diet, getting treats at certain times, getting their teeth brushed, etc. If it’s something that will make you more comfortable, let me know and I’ll be happy to try and provide that! In a client’s home, I try and care for the pet as close to what the owner provides for their own pet (& better if possible, but it’s hard to outlove a pet parent’s love for their own). Consistency is key on allowing that pet to feel comfortable with me in such a short time span, as they would their family.
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. As a child I cared for cats and now as an adults I care for my dogs and my family and friends dogs as well. Love taking dogs for walks and to the park. Experienced in bathing dogs as well. I work full-time as a teacher, but I am available on weekends to stop in and check on your animals or take them for a walk. I am willing to watch animals in my house over the weekend as well. I have two for babies that will keep yours company. Plenty of space for them to play in and out side of the house. No fence but I have a lead, and I am happy to take many walks a day.
“Lindsey and Divya are amazing with Isla! They are always on time, great at following isla’s care instructions, and shower her with love. I would absolutely trust them with Isla any time!”
About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!
“Abby has been amazing with Hunter! He’s always excited to see her for their walks together. She treats him like he is her own! I highly recommend using Abby for all your pets needs.”

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!!

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.

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.
