“Dante was amazing! Our faith was terrified of him even growled at him, but he did not give up and was able to take her out for her walk. We got home from our day out and she was fine. He’s very professional and responds very quickly! I highly recommend !!!”
“Alex has walked my puppy for over a month now, and she has been great. First, Bowie is always very excited to see her so I can tell that they have connected and have a good relationship. Second, Alex is very responsible. She is on time day in and day out, and on those few instances when she could not work on a day or would be late, Alex communicated that ahead of time so I could make alternative plans, if needed. And finally, Alex has been terrific with suggestions about my puppy’s health and related issues, without trying to force the issue or be pushy. I greatly appreciate her suggestions and help with my pup.”
About: I have been dog sitting for neighbors and family friends for years! I have done overnights, quick day care, and variety of trip needs! I love taking my own dogs for walks, as well as play and chill with them, so always treat others dogs like my own! I’ve worked with puppies, elder, and multiple dogs at once! I have recommendations from past experiences upon request! As of now, I offer assistance within West Chester, Glen Mills, Wilmington areas (and open to more locations), but am moving to Boston August 2! My routine can vary by request of the owner! In prior experience, I have worked part time and full time, ensuring the dog is let out multiple times a day, as well as fed. I want to make sure the dogs routine isn’t affected once their owner leaves! Our dogs have electric shock fences, but once let out, I still watch them to make sure they use the bathroom or get out loose somehow. I take my dog for walks 2-3 times a day, all varying in time and distance, but make sure they are getting their exercise and time outside (when weather permits)!
“Jordan is amazing! She walks our puppy Reese while we are at work a couple times a week. She responds quickly and gives us great updates. Reese loves seeing her walk through the door! I would highly recommended her and we will continue to use her 🥰🥰 thank you for everything you do for us! It means the world!!”
“Thank you, Gavin. French Fry gave you two paws up. He's very responsible, very reliable, and very attuned to my dog's needs. It will definitely use him again, and I have actually recommended him to my mom for her dogYou will definitely use him again and I actually have recommended him to my mom for her dog.”
“Very pleased with Cassandra and her services. My dog loves when Cassandra stops by for a walk! Love the updates and photos too. Would definitely recommend Cassandra.”
“Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Amanda was great! She is always on time and makes our dogs care her priority. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible dog sitter or walker.”
“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
About: I've been watching the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors since I was about 18. I've given insulin to both dogs and cats during my time pet-sitting. I currently own and care for two very spoiled female guinea pigs. During the week, I work full-time with a hybrid home/office schedule. On the days I am in the office, I do leave at mid-day to finish my workday from home. I can be available for bathroom breaks all throughout the day and go on walks/play with your pets in the evening. I work from a laptop, so I have the ability to relocate my workspace if necessary. I am able to provide all-day availability on weekends. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. I currently have experience taking care of furry ones of all ages and medical conditions.
“Linda is nothing short of a saint! Always timely and communicative, she is the gold standard by which all animal care providers should strive to meet. I’d give her ten stars if I could!”
“Cara is the BEST! My buddy Apollo is always happy to see her because he knows he’s going for his walk that he loves. Cara is always pleasant, great with Apollo and has concern for his welfare whether it’s too hot, if he can have a treat, or if he pooped haha! Cara rules!”
About: Hello! I am a studying veterinary technician at Purdue University! I've also have done work at both boarding facility's and doggy day cares. I have had training in handling, playtime, walks, designated diets. Everything you can think of to keep your pet happy while you are away. While my schedule may vary during different semesters,it should mostly stay the same. I am available during most afternoons till later into the day. So I can take care of any potty breaks, lunchtime, or later day walks as needed. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run around. The backdoor is a glass screen door, so it is easy to keep track of them if I need to step inside quickl; but I prefer to stay outside as long as I need to keep an eye on them.
“Janelle is very friendly, patient, and helpful! My dog is usually nervous around people she doesnt know but she warmed right up to her immediately and enjoyed her walks. Communication was great and the overall experience was pleasant. I look forward to booking with Janelle again in the future(:”
About: Hello! My name is Lily, and I have been taking care of pets for nearly 12 years. I adopted my first dog over 11 years ago. She had a lot of trauma from before we adopted her, and so have other dogs we have adopted, so I have plenty of experience with anxious “problematic” pets! I have owned 4 rescues in my life which all had their own quirks, and I have also watched dogs and cats for many people in my community. I have watched puppies and senior dogs who need help going to the bathroom. I have watched cats with three legs, cats who always get out, and even lizards! I absolutely love animals and I would love to get to know you and your fur babies. Message me if you have any questions! I’m currently working full-time in Wilmington DE, but unfortunately in this economy that’s not enough! I am available early in the mornings (before 8am), at lunch time, and after 5pm for walks and visits. I can do overnight stays as well, and I am always available on the weekends! Everyone has their own particular preferences for their pet. Some allow pets on furniture or in the bed, and some exclusively use a crate. Some dogs may love walks, while others prefer to run around in the backyard. I have worked with many different owners and pets and I will adjust to whatever is best for your pet! As for me personally, there is a wonderful dog park near my apartment that I take my dog to almost daily, she loves it! She doesn’t love walks and prefers to run around freely, and it allows her to play with other dogs and socialize! Every dog has different needs and I will make sure to meet them.

Beth did such an amazing job and was so patient with Betsy who can be very shy at first. Beth went the extra mile and came and met Betsy ahead of time to make her more comfortable. She sent updates of their walk and showed so much care towards Betsy. I highly recommend Beth, she is great with dogs and is a very reliable and outstanding dog walker!
