About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.

About: I usually connect well with dogs and kids I think I have a kindness with them that most people dont. I have owned a dog-walking business with my brother when we were kids. It consisted of us walking and watching dogs for the neighbors. It also showed me how to run a business and how to make my customers happy. Careful, professional dog walking demands technical skill, physical stamina, and in-depth knowledge of everything from dog behavior to pet first aid to knowing and understanding city laws. I think it is a wonderful oppurtunity for me to connect with animals again and show them there is love for them. they are such a huge part of our lives they deserve to be treated with care.

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.

About: Having the pleasure of being entrusted with caring for loved one’s fur babies, I have years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs. From small to large, puppies and elderly dogs. I have also had more than 3 dogs under my own care. I’m sure me and your fur baby will get along great, we both love long walks and snuggles! I currently work and go to school remotely which allows a lot of flexibility and with caring for pets. I am adaptable and can flex to whatever is your pets current routine. In either scenario my first step is to familiarize myself with the pet and their specific routine, habits, and possible triggers. To ensure the best care of the pet in my home, I will begin with ensuring the pet will experience as little of a difference in environment as possible. This will include monitoring noise levels, ensuring proper available space for pet to roam, etc. In the client’s home I will rely on the rules set forth to provide the preferred care.

About: Hi, thank you for considering me! I have 5 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and clients. I've had pets since childhood (birds, rabbits, several dogs, turtles, cats etc.). Currently I am the proud pet parent of Naomi, a sweet grey tuxedo cat. Since adopting her I have become more aware of how to care for anxious pets. If your fur baby is generally wary of strangers, they will come to love me. I have a quiet and gentle disposition. I work from home as a therapist and case manager. My work schedule affords me the flexibility to be a responsive and attentive petsitter. I follow schedules/guidelines provided by pet parents, administer medication as needed, and will thoroughly ensure you fur baby is well cared for while you are away. I will provide the same attentive and compassionate care I provide Naomi. Your pet(s) will feel well loved while you are away. I currently work remotely and will have ample time to care for pets. My schedule is pretty flexible, I’m open to both weekends and weekdays. I will follow the care instructions provided by pet parents. However you would like your fur baby to be cared for in the home, I will gladly oblige.

About: Hello! My name is Kylie. I was raised in Hawai'i and just moved from Brooklyn, NY. I love staying active, doing yoga, and just being outside in the sun. I am a huge animal lover, one of big reasons that I am vegan. I have many experiences with all kinds of home pets. I have experiences taking care of all kinds of animals, because I have had everything from a dog, a cat, chickens, parrots, a jackson chameleon named Jackson, and of course, many fish. I started walking dogs in middle school at the humane society, where I was trained, so I am very qualified and passionate about animal's wellbeing. I would love to walk your dog and get to know them, because dogs are the most precious creatures.

About: I have been caring for animals of my own since I was a kid! I've grown up dog sitting for neighbors, taking care of multiple cats in my family and for others, and more. I love animals and pets so much. I've grown up with a dog and multiple cats myself and I feel so much empathy for others and their relationship to their furry friends <3 I'm currently working as a freelance artist! I spend time in the studio when I'm not home and can take my work anywhere which frees up anytime you may need for me to visit your pets! I am a very attentive care giver. I have taken care of cats and dogs in my own family from kitten/puppy up to adulthood and now healthy seniors! I have helped many of my friends take in pets and given advice on the best way to set up their environments and prepare their homes as well as good things to look out for. Watching out for small changes in a pet's mood, routine, etc are all key things to me when it comes to taking care of them.

“I ended up booking this the wrong way and I booked it as a walking so it cost me way more but it was worth it knowing that my baby was in good hands while I watched a concert. My walker was patient kind and did everything I asked and my dog came back happy happy happy. What more can a puppy parent want? She was fabulous. BOOK THIS YOUNG LADY!!!!”

Hired Emily to walk my dog for the week and she was great. She was very communicative and timely. My dog can be very overwhelming with how excited she gets but Emily handled her with no issues. She followed all the instructions/requests I made. She got along great with my dog and I will definitely be using Emily again if I ever need walks or visits for my dog!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fern Rock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fern Rock is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 9,340 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fern Rock. 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 Fern Rock. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fern Rock after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Rock. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
