About: I have an 11 year old senior dog who I’ve trained in eating, using the bathroom, tricks, and other manners since he was born. I’m known to my family and close friends as the pet-obsessed girl, who says hi to every animal I pass on the street. By picking me as your animal’s caretaker, your picking a complete animal-lover who will love your pets just as much as you do❤️ As a college athlete, I often take walks around my neighborhood on my own for leisurely time. I’d be over the moon happy to have a companion to take these walks with, or even take them to the park to get some play time together! Along with loving animals, I also would describe myself as being a pretty clean and organized person. However you leave your home is how I will leave it for you when you return.
About: Hello! I am Havyn and I have lots of personal experience caring for big and small dogs and cats. I have had many types of dogs and cats and have been the caretaker of those pets since the age of 7. I will play, walk, and/or run with your pets or play with them at my home with any of their favorite toys. I will also take them to any local dog parks, on bike trails, or anything else that is nearby if you please. Tell me about their favorite things to do or their favorite places to go near your home and I will make it happen. Any questions please contact me with the information provided. I will answer promptly no matter the day of the week!
“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!”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with our 2-year old golden retriever. She is reliable, friendly, and genuinely loves animals. Lucy arrived on time, provided great communication and updates, and made sure our dog got plenty of exercise! The regular photo updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
“What would I ever do without Marilyn’s commitment and dedication to my beloved pet. If you find a Rover Champion make sure to appreciate them. Thanks Rover for finding this gem.”
“Allyson has been great in supporting our shy and anxious pup. She is very patient with him. She is great with communicating with us about any updates so we don't have to worry while we're away from home.”
“Marian is fantastic! This is a new plan for us rather than boarding our Rocco. Our spinone is a bit of a stubborn and sometime cautious baby and her patience and kind way was exactly what we needed to allow us to leave him comfortable in our home rather than kennel him. Thank you Marian! We are looking forward to working with you more and building a sweet relationship for him.”
“Danielle went very much out of her way to give Nala a walk this past week- we had a scheduled 30 minute visit and while we were away she experienced car trouble- without bailing or asking if someone else could step in she went out of her way to Uber to and from our home just to make sure Nala was taken care of. I’m so happy we found Danielle- thank you so much again for going above and beyond.”
“Ceara was absolutely amazing with Excalibur. Not only was she great with Ex, she’s also such a nice person to interact with...interesting, attentive and fun. I’ll definitely reach out again. She’s a gem! <3”
“We were very happy to meet Ryan through Rover and he was very attentive to our dogs patterns and ours. He is very responsive and reliable. We are looking forward to his house sitting for us while we are away.”
“Very communicative and thoughtful with my pup. I got a good sense of her experience with animals by all of the great questions she asked at our meet and greet. She could also read my dog's subtle body language cues which made me feel comfortable having them do regular walks together!”
About: Hello! My name is Ryan and I grew up with many animals in the Poconos, but I've always had a passion for dogs. Now I'm in the Philadelphia area working full time at a doggie daycare in south Philadelphia. I am available Monday - Friday before 1pm for walks. I am usually unavailable on weekends for walks. Boarding can be accommodated with notice. I work every other weekend. I have a one bedroom with my partner in Germantown which isn't far from from my favorite hiking spots. It's a very walkable neighborhood with great gardens to observe.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkins Park
Courtney was amazing. I booked her on short notice. She canceled her appointment which was completely unnecessary to come in. Dogs hit my dog. She was professional and was sweet and loving to my puppy. She was confident and took charge, which is exactly what we needed. I will hundred percent use her again and I hope that you guys use her services. Your pet would be thankful that you set up an appointment with Courtney.
Lauren is truly the best! Our little guy DJ literally jumps with pure joy the moment he sees her arrive, which says everything about how much he adores her. ❤️ She gives him the perfect combination of fun-filled walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of snuggles, and we always know he’s in the very best hands. Lauren is caring, dependable, thoughtful, and clearly loves what she does. It gives us such peace of mind knowing DJ is not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and excited to spend time with her. We couldn’t recommend Lauren more highly. She has become such a special part of DJ’s life, and ours too!
Thank you! You took great care of my two dogs, and accommodated my changes in schedule with ease. I so appreciate your flexibility, your punctuality, and how you checked in with me about the heat and my one dogs resistance to a walk. Thank you! I will definitely use you again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Elkins Park on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 9,397 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elkins Park. 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 Elkins Park. 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 Elkins Park.

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 Elkins Park. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
