About: I am 33 years old. I was raised around animals. My father had every pet you can think of in our home. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, guinea pig, turtles , andeven ponies. I love animals and wish I could own a farm or something similar just so I could be surrounded by animals. I have used rover in the past but lost my login info but I was a dog sitter for about a year. I live in an apartment near Pennypack Park so I can take your pets on walks there or outside my building are grassy areas. If you book with me you will not regret it. I make sure your pets are fed, walked, taken out and played with. I love cuddling and playing with animals. I will take pictures and keep you updating if you would like. I cant wait to hear from you!! I only work weekend nights starting next weekend. I am free any other time. I also have kids who love animals and would love to help. I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.

“Ally was absolutely wonderful! She recognized that our puppy was a tad nervous on her first stroll with a new-to-her person, so she allowed her time to do her thing and get comfortable, which paid dividends, as she eventually warmed up and I’m sure will look forward to her next jaunt with Ally.”

About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Ever since I was young, I've shared my life and heart with feline companions, embracing the joy and unconditional love that comes with being a dedicated cat owner. My journey as a passionate pet enthusiast took an even more delightful turn when, five years ago, I welcomed an adorable bunny into my life, creating a bond that added a new dimension to my love for animals. From the tender days of nurturing tiny kittens to the sweet moments of watching my furry bunny hop around playfully, the experience has been nothing short of heartwarming.. Im a fulltime video editor and videographer so I work from home most of the time. im typically available in the mornings and late afternoons I have a 3 story house as well as a nice size yard in the back of my house for the pets to play in

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 25 years. Neighbors, friends & Family have relied on me to care for their beloved pets when away from home. I am an animal lover and I treat them with much love, respect and care. I provide a loving home to your beloved pup while you’re away. We will get daily walks, play time, and cuddle time together. I guarantee, you will be satisfied with the love and care I provide for them. I’m currently working part-time from home, so your pup will have company most of the time. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and I’m flexible with your schedule. I live in a quiet area, in a suburban home with a walking distance to a nice trail for happy and long walks. My house has a big backyard where your pup can have more play time or relax time. They are never left alone in the backyard, I’m always with them. At bedtime, I generally take them to sleep next to me if they are used to do so but I will follow the owners requirements for that.

About: Ever since I was born, we have had a dog in the house. So, I have spent my whole life around dogs. In high school, I loved to go on long walks with my dog, Bella. In college, I was part of The Seeing Eye dog club. There I gained experience working with young service dogs in training. It was amazing to work with such young dogs and help them gain exposure to the world around them so they could focus on important work later in life. After college, I volunteered with EASEL Animal Rescue League, Shelter, & Pet Adoption, where we did pack walks and some group discipline training. It was during COVID that I started to really fall in love with cats. I was working on a farm, and a lot of my coworkers were barn cats. There was also a kitty transfer I did for EASEL Animal Rescue League, Shelter, & Pet Adoption, which made me so happy to help a kitty in need. A few years later, after I moved out, I adopted my own cat, Buttercup, from Treetops Kitty Café, and she has become my whole world. I am currently in between jobs, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I would love to take your dog for long walks, play fetch, and feed them. I am also open to helping take care of older dogs since they need more love and attention in their old age. I would also love to keep your cats company while you are away and make sure you are sent plenty of update photos. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of free time to take dogs for long walks and to keep energetic cats entertained. I am currently volunteering with PAWS in Philadelphia in order to spend more time helping animals in need. I will make sure to check in with each client to know the problem areas within each home, ask about typical hiding spots, and where cleaning supplies are for any accidents. I will also ask permission to take your pet to nearby parks and ask if there are areas that are off-limits.

About: My name is Allie and I am 24 years old. I am currently located in the Wyncote area. I am in the process of completing online courses to get licensed as a vet tech, have experience working in an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. I have years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats, as well as small household pets. I have four cats of my own! 3 of them live with my dad that I grew up with, and one I adopted a few years ago and lives with me. I worked at Stay and Play Pet Resort, Pet Valu, and Pet Supplies Plus, and Fort Washington Veterinary Hospital. I have a lot of experience and training in caring for many dogs and cats at once. I also have experience with exotic pets and rodents. I have many references to different families that I have provided pet sitting services to over the years as well as completed background checks. I am currently able to provide overnight services, and available to do daily drop in visits/staying multiple hours a day, and walks. I have experience administering medication (both orally and SQ) as well as giving baths. My schedule is very flexible. I also have my own car, so reliable transportation will not be an issue. If you need someone who will care for your pet as their own, give loving attention to, and keep them happy and healthy, feel free to contact me and we can set up a time to meet! I look forward to hearing from you! :) I am completing online courses for vet tech school, but the schedule is as flexible as you need it to be. I am unsure on my work schedule at this time, but keep in mind that I only work part time! I am very respectful to all of the houses that I visit to watch your pets. I am known to leave your home cleaner than I found it, and your pet's safety is my number one priority!

Norbert is the consummate professional. He walks our 3 year old Rottweiler, who has tons of energy. But please note, my roommate's boss named our home, Casa de 24 paws and all 24 paws love him. One of our animals, who happens to be a cat, has vocalized his wishes to be walked too. We are not going to embarrass Norbert and ask him to walk our cat, no matter how much or loud Quincy meows. I highly recommend Norbert, but not during my dog's walks. :-)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cheltenham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cheltenham is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $27 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 9,216 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cheltenham. 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 Cheltenham. 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 Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
