“Kathleen was great with my dog, Sasha, who can be very standoffish at first but seemed to warm up to her quickly. Kathleen was punctual and communicative, which made me feel very comfortable while I was away!”
“Hadiya is great! She’s amazing with her high level of care, consideration, and attention to detail! I’m really glad to be working with her! My dogs love her 🫶🏾”
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.
“Yoel was great as always! He always sends us photos of our pets to set our minds at ease. This visit he was even able to win over our pathologically shy, anxious cat and we were so relieved that she got some affection while we were gone. Yoel always seems to really enjoy our pets, which is a great feeling for us now that we have our hands full traveling with a baby.”
“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.”
About: I have experience taking care of family members pets as well as my own dog, Toby. While the sweetest angel he’s also a little rascal so I have my fair share of experience dealing with troublemakers:) I’m currently a grad student who has classes on weekdays but am completely free on weekends! I also have time in between classes to drop by. As my class schedule differs slightly each day, I can be pretty flexible! Any instruction given to care for your fur baby will be followed as given. I’ll be happy to do anything to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.
“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”
“Tim has been absolutely fantastic with my Australian Cattle Dog/Pitt mix. She's a very timid pup and especially nervous around men, so I was initially hesitant about finding someone she would be comfortable with. Tim really went above and beyond—he took the time to come by for a couple of meet-and-greets before starting regular walks, just to make sure Gloria felt safe and at ease. His patience and gentle approach made a huge difference. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind and reliable. Highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy dog walker!”
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.
“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!”

Allyson does such a great job with my 65lbs goldendoodle, Lady! It’s really wonderful to have someone I trust check on her regularly and the detailed photos and Rover cards make me smile when I am at work! I absolutely recommend Allyson to take care of your bestie!

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!
Germal was truly the perfect person to help us with my pup. He went above and beyond in every aspect to make sure my dog and our home were taken care of. He was super responsive and easy to work with, being flexible and willing to make adjustments if needed. I cannot express how much I recommend Germal and how much my dog is looking forward to seeing him again!
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.
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.
I highly recommend Alexys for your pet care needs! I’ve been working with her for about a month, and she has quickly become one of my most trusted, go-to sitters. She is incredibly professional, kind, and communicates effectively, which I truly appreciate given my busy schedule. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of my dog; I can see how comfortable my pup is with her, and the frequent updates during bookings give me complete peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

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.

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.

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.
