About: Hi, I’m Dolly McAlee – a lifelong Malvern local and proud dog lover! I started this dog walking service to give busy pet parents peace of mind and pups the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s a brisk morning walk, a mid-day stroll, or just some extra love while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. Dependable, friendly, and fully focused on your dog’s happiness and safety—I’m here to make tails wag all over Malvern. This is a part-time job; I am available anytime Monday-Friday anytime after 4pm and weekends are open anytime whatever your schedule needs I will make it work! I have a fenced in yard and a small dog that is very friendly and loves other dogs. I have a crate if needed and my house is doggie proof!
“Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!”
“Clarissa is extraordinary! She watched my Bambi girl. I got updates, the cutest photos and videos of Bambi having the most fun. I feel so lucky to have found her and her family for dog care. All the dogs are treated like their own, like family! She has a huge, secure fenced in yard, a doggie door where the dogs are free to go in and out as they please, and a HUGE heart for all the dogs under her care. I really can’t say enough about Clarissa and her family! When it came time to pick up Bambi, she didn’t want to leave! That says it all!!!”
“Great experience, good customer service and communication. I feel my dog was well taken care of and comfortable at their house. They have a great space for dogs! Ziva will be back again soon! Thank you so much 😀”
“Carol is wonderful. She cares for each of her dogs, and they get real time and attention from her. She is also happy to be flexible and work around schedules. Really great! I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Drew was super friendly and sent us lots of updates through the day, including photos, of our puppy. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in very capable hands. I’m sure he enjoyed the dog park and his 2 mile hike with Drew. We look forward to working with Drew in the future!”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“It was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter having recently adopted my dog. It was a great experience. Jay was great to work with and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with Jay.”
“Diego and Amelia were great with our dog, Athena! Came in from out of town to attend an event and Diego and Amelia accommodated our hectic schedule. Thank you again!”
About: I grew up with dogs. When I was 18 I co-adopted two pitbulls who lived out their lives with me. After college, I volunteered for Monster Milers taking shelter dogs from Street Tails Animal Rescue out for runs to help them burn energy and become more adoptable. My wife and I have adopted three times. A fawn pug who lived until 9 years old, a black pug who lived until 17 years old, and a Alaskan Malamute/Husky/Amstaff mix (107lbs) that lived until he was 13 and we recently lost. I'm good with all furry friends big and small and adjust my approach based on the dogs energy. I currently have a ton of flexibility outside of my kids to help with your pups, but generally, I'm home a lot and very active so lots of room to get your pup out for long walks and exercise/stimulation. I do not have a fenced in yard, and always keep my dogs on leashes until they were absolutely ready to listen solely to my commands. I use a gentle leader that helps minimize impact on their throat and also is very effective with pulling, but can be flexible to your sitch.
“Sruthie and Abha have been amazing! My dog has been so happy with them and has been given so much attention and love! I highly recommend them as they are wonderful people with big hearts. They sent me pictures and messages all day long! I’m so happy I found them!”
“Ryan helped us out very last minute and watched our giant newfiedoodle puppy for the day. He came back happy and tuckered out. Can’t wait to reach out to Ryan again the next time we’re in town.”

“Rachel is living and caring with our Puppy! I enjoy getting the snapshots and videos of them playing or walking together. It is such a comfort knowing that he is with Rachel and loved and cared for when i am away on business. He absolutely loves being with Rachel and has made himself super comfortable in her home!”
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Colonial Way commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,438 sitters in Colonial Way, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
