About: I have a Bachelors degree in vet nursing and I'm on my way to vet school. I've pet sit for friends and family. I love getting to meet new animals and I love learning about people's experiences with their pets. I also have experience with rabbits, pocket pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, etc), reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish. I am free most days. I'm also available for early morning and late night hours if needed. I am available for repeat dog walks every day or drop ins, I also do house sitting I can easily crate dogs if needed and can lift and restrain heavier dogs. Also, with my vet nursing training I am able to medicate dogs if needed and can help keep an eye on medical concerns. I'm also very active and am able to take pets for long walks and can take a lot of rough housing

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up in Linstead Jamaica, my family owned a small farm, where we tended goats and chickens. We also took care of 2 generations of Rottweilers, so for as long as I can remember, I have had pets. Because of this, I’ve gotten to care for dogs of all ages - from newborn to older, in sickness and health. Since moving to Philly in 2016, my family has rescued a Cat (Rocket) and a Shih Tzu (Betty White). Needless to say, if given the opportunity I will make sure to give not only care for, but love your pet! I am currently home full time. Feel free to reach out - I am available early mornings and nights, and for drop ins or house sittings when needed. I am also open to last minute bookings. I live with a family of 4. We live in a home in a very quiet neighborhood near Cobbs creek - with trails and parks within the vicinity. We currently do not have any of our own pets, but any pets we have cared for had the luxury of enjoying outdoors at almost any hour and to meet and play with other pets at different parks. As for drop ins, I will treat your home with the upmost respect.

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

About: Having grown up with dogs and cats (...and a couple birds and a hedgehog), and working in pet care/pet sitting on and off for about 12 years I've seen and known a lot of weird, wonderful, sweet, and silly pets. I think my attention to detail sets me apart. I want to know what keeps your fur babies calm & happy. I want to know what stresses them out so we can steer clear: whether it's the sound of skateboards or rolling suitcases, fellow wildlife, or even people. I'm ready to redirect your nearly perfect pet away from their favorite forbidden roadside snack. I also have experience administering medications. I look forward to working with you! I currently do pet care and pet sitting part time and some other gig work (varies from week to week) while I look for other full-time work. I aim to mimic your pets lifestyle when they're in my care to make things as comfortable as possible for them. We're gonna cuddle, we're gonna play!

About: Hi! I'm Sophia, I work from home full-time in West Philadelphia. Because I'm home all day, I'm able to offer consistent midday walks. I've spent years helping care for the dogs of close friends and family, and I genuinely love the company. I'm calm, patient, and attentive and I have a soft spot for senior dogs and puppies. I'm available Monday through Friday from 10am to 3pm, every week, reliably for solo walks only. I send photo updates during every walk so you can see exactly how things are going and I'm happy to do a free meet-and-greet before any first booking. I work from home full-time and do midday walks daily so your dog gets a real break in the middle of the day, not rushed bookings before or after a commute. Working from home also means I can offer longer, unhurried drop-in visits. I'm consistent with timing, respectful of the space, and careful to leave everything exactly as I found it. I am very detail-oriented and neat, so I will treat your pets and your home with respect. For senior pets on medication, I'm comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care routines. Just walk me through it at our free meet-and-greet and I'll follow your instructions to the letter.

Melissa was fantastic with our dogs! We have a Golden who loves everyone (of course). But we also have a 10 year old Rottweiler who can be very selective with fully trusting people outside her family. Our Rottie took to Melissa immediately, which has never happened with any other dog walker. Melissa had no issues walking both dogs at the same time. In addition, Melissa has great communication skills, and was very easy to get along with. Highest recommendation for Melissa!

Matthew is awesome! He’s reliable, energetic, has such a positive outlook, and our greyhound, Guinness, LOVES his walks with him. He treats Guinness like he was one of his own pets. The notifications with pictures, videos, and maps of their walks are very helpful, giving me piece of mind that our best bud is being handled properly in our absence. Since this can be a source of anxiety for me during my “in-office” work days, I feel much better knowing that Matt will come through when we need him. Thanks, Matt. We really appreciate your help last week!

About: I’ve always grown up around animals. Dogs, cats, birds and even a turtle! I have doggy sat plenty of times in the past and I own three cats of my own. I would love to own a dog one day, which is one of the reasons I am excited to doggy sit! I currently work as a medical assistant Monday–Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but pet care is something I truly enjoy outside of work. I love spending my free time walking dogs, checking in on pets, and helping owners feel at ease when they can’t be home. I’m available most evenings during the week for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also very flexible on weekends and can often adjust my schedule to fit your preferred times. If needed, I can also be available Friday afternoons for early weekend bookings. My goal is to provide dependable care and keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well-loved — even when your work or travel schedule gets busy. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar space. I follow their normal routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure all care instructions are followed exactly. I treat every home with respect — checking that doors are locked, water bowls are full, and everything is tidy before I leave. Safety and trust are always my top priorities, and I’m happy to share updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are well cared for.

Gwynne is everything you could hope for in a dog walker. She walked Lori and Tully and was wonderful with both of them. She is patient, kind, and genuinely a good person, the kind you immediately trust with your dogs. She is also incredibly considerate and detail oriented, never missing a thing and always going the extra step to make sure the pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Kasha was still fully afraid of going down the stairs when we started having Nicole come check on her, and Nicole easily transitioned from hanging out and checking on her to taking her out. She was really warm and asked great questions during our meet and greet, and generally has great vibes! Will absolutely keep utilizing her services as long as she wants

Pascal is the sweetest and most reliable and personable walker that I have had for Chaos. He is always on time and he truly listens to any suggestions that I have about Chaos. Every time that Chaos comes back from his walk he is exercised and content. He wakes me up in the morning because he can't wait to see Pascal. He is actually learning new things and I can't be happier. I would whole heartedly suggest him for anyone who needs their dog walked.

FAQs for Dog Walking - East Lansdowne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in East Lansdowne on Rover is $33.3 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,722 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Lansdowne. 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 East Lansdowne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in East Lansdowne.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 East Lansdowne. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
