About: I’ve been dog sitting for many years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently work full time at an emergency veterinary hospital, which has strengthened my skills in animal care, safety, and recognizing medical needs quickly and responsibly. In addition to my professional work, I occasionally volunteer with the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, where I continue to deepen my experience working with animals in need and supporting their well-being. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, an active walker, or attentive care while you’re away, I bring a reliable, experienced, and compassionate approach to every visit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a full-time job but I have some flexibility so just message me & I’ll see what we can work out! I try my best to be very transparent about my schedule. When pet sitting in a client’s home, I’m always mindful that I’m entering your pet’s space. I take a gentle, patient approach so they don’t feel threatened, often using treats or toys to help them feel comfortable. I never want an animal to feel overwhelmed, and I do everything I can to ensure they feel safe and at ease. I’m especially good at picking up on animals’ emotions and adjusting my approach to meet their needs

“My dog is a rescue who is still overcoming his fear-based aggression. Anthony was calm and patient when he met him. He also took extra time to comfort him while I was away because he knew he had separation anxiety. Anthony also communicated with me daily to discuss any concerns. When I was searching for a dog sitter, I read Anthony’s Rover profile in which he writes about his life-long love for animals. This is why I hired him and he has proven that he truly cares. I will be hiring him again for sure and feel confident in recommending him to other dog owners, especially those with dogs who need extra TLC.”

About: I have two of my own cats and helped my sister raise a puppy during the pandemic. I also volunteer to walk rescue dogs with Doggie Style. Right now I am looking for work part time and am available mornings through evenings on weekends and after 3PM on weekdays except Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a bike so I can easily make it to different parts of the city! I unfortunately cannot house pets in my home but I am willing to travel and pet sit! We can probably work something out with scheduling.

About: New to Rover, but I’ve taken care of dogs for over 12 years and cats for over 5 years, and can always be sure to feed, walk, and provide medication to your pets in a timely manner. My apartment is ensured to be pet-proofed and a cozy environment for most any dog. Your pets are your babies and I will make sure to treat them as if they were my own!! I also have two close DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) friends on speed dial to consult in case of any emergencies. Happy to chat more and gain a new niece/nephew!! I currently work from home Monday through Wednesday and am home by 6 on days that I am in office (Thursday/Friday). Weekends I am home for the majority of the day, so from Saturday-Wednesday I can ensure that your fur baby gets enough play time and attention throughout the day! For weekend boarding, I’m happy to chat through earlier arrangements for Friday drop off (1:30-6pm). I can wake up early and stay up as late as needed if frequent walks are needed. My apartment will be your pet’s little hotel for their stay, with room service and activities included! I have no other pets, so they will have the place to themselves. Whether your dog is high energy and needs some stairs to let out their zoomies, or low energy and needs a cozy corner with some sunlight to bask in, my place can adapt to any pet’s needs. I will be sure to give your pets attention, cuddles, and playtime throughout the day, and they are allowed to sleep wherever they find the comfiest in the apartment. Any specified feeding/walking times will be honored and if there’s any deviation from the usual schedule for any reason, you will be notified in advance. Also happy to send you video/photo updates of their stay!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets and animals since I was a little kid. Over the course of my life I have always had an animal by my side! Whether that be a dog, cat, fish, reptiles or even animals like hamsters and rabbits every single one them have been given the love and attention needed! Recently I had to care for my elderly dog with her medication and mobility issues. I have also been pet sitting for my families who are in need of assistance with special needs animals. I am available 7 days a week anytime during the day. I am also available nights and weekends as well. So if you need to go out of town for an overnight I have plenty experience in house sitting as well. I always make sure that they have a proper sleep schedule and also make sure their day is full of activities and excitement so they don’t miss a beat when they are back in the arms of their wonderful owner.

About: I’ve sat and walked numerous dogs of all breeds and sizes in every borough of NY. This was my side hustle and I want to continue now that I’m in NJ again! I’m currently freelancing as a sculptor and working artist. My devotion to this planet includes recycling, up cycling, gardening and especially taking care of animals. I immediately meet and greet your pet, allowing them to catch my scent, hopefully giving them a pet. I check their food and water supply, and depending on the task needed as well as their current standing, immediately begin preparing them for a walk or step outside to relieve themselves.

About: I have extensive experience caring for both puppies and handicapped/elderly dogs. My own dog is a tripod who requires additional medications and physical accommodations, so I will bring this experience to my work. I currently work 8-4 Tuesday through Saturday. I am available for pet care outside of those hours, including early mornings and late evenings. I am open to navigating other possibilities as well! I am glad to either provide brief “pop-in” care or long in-home care, depending on what best suits the animal and clients. We can custom create a service that best suits you! I work and do my PhD program remotely, and am able to accomplish these responsibilities from anywhere - including your home! If you would like someone to be with your pet while you are gone, I am your human! I have owned two dogs - from puppyhood through old age - and have lived with a multitude of cats, including long cat sitting stays at loved ones' homes. As of recently, I do not have any more pets in my own home - so I am looking to fill the service that I so often was grateful for receiving from others. Both to fill the void in my own life, and to repay the favor! I am available for drop in visits, walks, and sitting in your home. However, I do not board in my own home.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands on experience raising five dogs from puppies all the way through adulthood. Because I've gone through every stage, from potty training and teething to obedience work and senior care, I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) who is 6 months old that I've raised since she was just 13 weeks old. She's incredibly sweet, well socialized, and gets along great with other dogs. She's also a great role model for younger pups and helps make introductions smooth and positive. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or just needs a reliable routine, I'll make sure they're treated like part of the family while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment where both you and your pup can feel completely at ease. 🐶 Experienced puppy raiser | Dog lover for life | Reliable, attentive, and passionate about happy pups 🐾 🏡 I Work From Home = More Time for Your Pups! 🐾 One of the biggest perks of booking with me is that I work from home, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. While I'm home, based, I'm far from sedentary! I stay very active and love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and keeping pups engaged and happy. Whether your dog is a couch cuddler or an energetic adventurer, I'll make sure they get the exercise, playtime, lounging and love they deserve. In my home, pets enjoy: 🐾 Consistent feeding and potty schedules 🐾 Plenty of exercise and playtime 🐾 A comfortable, dog-friendly environment 🐾 Lots of love, attention, and cuddles 🐾 Supervised socialization with my friendly German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) I have raised five dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I'm experienced with different ages, temperaments, and care needs. My GSP has been with me since she was 13 weeks old and is incredibly sweet, well-mannered, and great with other dogs. I also want to be transparent that I have a young child in the home. Because of this, I can only accept dogs that are comfortable around children and have a friendly, non-aggressive temperament. The safety and comfort of all family members, both two-legged and four-legged, are my top priority. With that being said, my child knows boundaries and will not be engaging much. When providing care in a client's home, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you're gone. 🐾💕

About: I have had a dogs my whole life, and they are what brings me the most joy in life. My last dog Henry passed away almost 2 years ago and since then I have been fostering, which is super rewarding. I have also been volunteering with PAWS for 5 years, and am there every Friday morning to help care for the pups. I have had experience with all kinds of dogs from 80lb Pitties to teeny tiny Chihuahuas, from strays who are terrified when they arrive at the shelter to ones that have boundless energy and love on everyone. My camera roll in my phone is pretty much consumed with pictures of my shelter pups, who I feel so honored to be able to be part of their journey to finding their forever homes. It would be a privilege to add your fur baby to the long list of dogs that I have had the pleasure of having in my life :) I am a real estate agent, so I make my own schedule, and can easily fit caring for your pup around my showings and office time. I will be more than happy to travel to your home and spend some time with your pup. I can walk them, have yard time with them, play fetch or tug of war, feed them, pet them, and just generally spend some time with them while they wait for their humans to come home. If you have extra things that need to get done such as brushing, nail clipping, medicine to give etc, I can take care of that as well. Basically whatever you need done to make your pet feel comfortable and safe, I can handle. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of your pup's routine.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Camden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Camden on Rover is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per walk. 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 October 2026, there are 9,259 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Camden. 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 Camden. 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 Camden 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 Camden. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
