About: I grew up with cats and have lived with dogs in the past as well - including a golden retriever and a Great Pyrenees! I have my own pet at home: a 5 year old orange tabby girl named Millie who has been with me since her small kitten days! I watch over cats and dogs alike for friends and neighbors and treat them with the same care I would the pets that have been my family. Fun fact: I'm also an artist when I'm not pet sitting! Some of my artwork includes pet portraits. I work for myself, so I decide my own schedule, which allows me to be fairly flexible. If I'm staying an extended time with your pets, I am able to bring some of my computer work with me so that they get company for even longer than a short walk or a little bit of playtime. I'm happy to care for your pets in your home. In my home, there's a very happy cat who rules the space, so I do not offer boarding at this time.
“Dana is a wonderful dog walker! She’s a great communicator and our two pups took to her right away. I highly recommend Dana. We will continue working with her in the months ahead.”
About: Hello, I’m Kay, a veterinary technician with 8 years of experience offering professional in-home drop-in care. With nearly a decade in veterinary medicine, I bring both compassion and clinical expertise to every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Over the past 8 years, I have gained extensive experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as supporting pets with chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and arthritis. Beyond medical care, I closely monitor for changes in appetite, hydration, behavior, or mobility—subtle details that can be especially important for pets with ongoing health needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide: • Feeding and fresh water refills • Litter box cleaning or basic waste removal • Medication administration (oral, topical, injectable) • Chronic condition support and monitoring • General wellness checks (hydration, appetite, comfort level) • Visit reports with notes and photos for your reassurance In addition, I am trained to recognize early signs of distress and respond appropriately in urgent situations. If an emergency arises, I can provide immediate first aid and ensure your pet receives prompt veterinary attention. Every animal I care for is treated with the same respect and attention I would give my own. Whether your pet is a healthy, playful companion or one who requires a bit of extra medical support, you can trust that I’ll bring reliability, knowledge, and compassion to every visit. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m able to provide consistent, reliable visits throughout the week. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, making sure every pet gets attention, medication, and care exactly when they need it. I provide attentive, personalized care in your pet’s familiar environment. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box or waste cleanup, play and enrichment, medication administration, and monitoring for any changes in health or behavior. I treat every pet with the same compassion and professionalism I would my own, and I provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Ryan was extremely professional and a great communicator. I have a very sensitive/anxious dog, but I felt at ease knowing she was getting great long walks with a calm confidant walker. I will definitely hire Ryan again next time I leave town! Thanks again!”
“Nikki was fantastic with our enthusiastic dog from the very beginning! She is very calming and responsible with him and communicative with us. We look forward to more walks with her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with high-energy breeds, senior dogs needing gentle care, and even pups with anxiety. I always tailor my approach to each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. My calm, intuitive nature helps me build trust quickly with animals, even shy or reactive ones. I’ve volunteered at shelters and have experience with puppy training basics, senior care, administering medications, and leash reactivity. I approach each pet with patience and respect, and I take pride in providing care that feels like home. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-in visits or walks on weekdays after 3 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the attention and companionship they deserve while you're away. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety and comfort come first. I keep environments clean, secure, and pet-friendly, free from hazards. I follow feeding routines, exercise guidelines, and any medical or behavioral instructions to the letter. I also give regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you're away.
“I’m so happy that I found Kendra! She’s very reliable, loving to my pup, and detailed at taking notes on Teddy’s likes and dislikes, training cues, and other habits. Teddy is always skeptical of new people but he adores her. She also sends me pictures and a detailed report after their walks, and is prompt at responding at my requests. I feel good knowing my pup is in great hands when I’m not around. I highly recommend Kendra!”
About: I look forward to meeting your dog! I can offer walks, home visits, or whatever it is that your dog prefers most. I love walking, so I am always happy to take your dog on a long walk. I have a dog, so I understand that each dog has specific wants and needs. I have the summers off, so I have flexible availability during Summer months. In the school year, I am available after 4:30 PM. I am also available weekends. I will treat your dog as I would my own. I follow whatever schedule your dog is used to, and I want to hear what specific things your dog needs and wants.
“Danielle is really responsive and always communicative. She’s walked my dog multiple times and I’ve always been so happy with her. I wi continue to book her in the future! Highly recommend :)”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care and attention I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their people are away. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pets who require gentler care and a watchful eye. I pride myself on noticing the little things such as changes in behavior, eating habits, or comfort so you can trust that your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to help you out! Just let me know when assistance is needed and I can more than likely be there. I have a small fenced in yard, and I live in a house with my brother, who also loves dogs. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable and safe space to relax, with plenty of attention and outdoor breaks (for dogs). I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to so they feel at ease and cared for.
About: I love animals, basically all animals! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and feel that I know the ins and outs of the "pet world". I may have favorite breeds, but I love them all, both big and small- I love learning about new breeds, so bring it on! I have worked with pitties doodles, a jackchi, and Goldens so far from Rover! I would love to spend time outside, playing, relaxing, and exploring with your dog (and am happy to care for cats if you have those, too!). I am currently unemployed and looking for some part time gigs (like dog walking) to fill my days. I am very open during the weekdays in Roxborough. I will treat your pets and your home just like they are my own. Keeping things clean and tidy is a very easy ask for me.
“Abby was amazing with Gracie, the photos clearly showed a strong bond between the two of them, even after just meeting each other! Thank you Abby for letting us be worry free and knowing Gracie was well taken care of!”
“Natalia went out of her way to keep me informed about her walks with my pup. She also went above and beyond to make sure she knew as much as possible beforehand so they would start off on the right paw! Highly recommend!”
About: 40 years of experience working with all kinds of animals, including dogs and cats, exotics, goats, chickens, and wildlife. Trained in dog and cat CPR, positive behavior, and nutrition. As a wildlife rescue/rehab volunteer I've fed baby birds and opossums, cared for fawns, and helped prep hawks and owls for release back into nature. A positive experience for our animal companions comes down to consistency, love, and good communication. Ask me about care for seniors, special needs, and exotics. I'm self-employed and work from home, so my schedule is somewhat flexible outside my own animal care and work duties. Typically available midday for lunchtime walks while you're at work, as well as early morning and nighttime drop-ins for cats while you're away. Leashed walks in your neighborhood or through the trails of the Wissahickon. Bathing facilities on premises so your pup comes home clean after their adventures! In your home, I'll follow your lead for protocols and walking/play territory.
“Colette was an amazing dog walker, my dogs absolutely loved her and we will definitely miss her. She was communicative, prompt, and so sweet with our girls. They got to know her car and would get so excited when they saw it coming down our street!”
“The pups were happy to see Tim. I’m glad to have found a dog walker around the neighborhood. I had to step out last minute and Tim thoroughly followed our instructions while we were out. Definitely will book again!”

Chestnut Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Haeley was great. This was my first time using Rover. I wasn't even home when Haley arrived to walk my 5 month old, 48 pound puppy - my mother met Haeley at our house. She said Haeley was friendly and when meeting our pup for the first time she was great at helping her feel safe and happy to walk with her. She was sensitive to our dog's pace and needs at the end of a long day and included lovely photos and report.
Really easy to communicate with and super reliable. Booking is straightforward, they always keep me in the loop, and I never have to wonder if everything is going to plan. My dog is obsessed with them, which honestly says more than anything I could write here. 10/10, would recommend to anyone.
Collette is an outstanding dog walker. Our puppy is a rescue that has gone through hard times. So, he does not take easily to new people. But, with Collette, he immediately bonded with her and truly enjoys being with her. Collette has a great personality and she genuinely loves animals. Our puppy easily sees that and now enjoys his walks with her. We are very happy to have found Collette and plan on working with her continuously in the future.
Juanita arrived to my apartment to a sick puppy and took great care to clean up my puppy’s play pen and update me with her status. I am so appreciative of Juanita stepping in and going above and beyond. (Max I can tip is the cost of the walk so I will have cash for you)
