“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!”
“Ally was absolutely wonderful! She recognized that our puppy was a tad nervous on her first stroll with a new-to-her person, so she allowed her time to do her thing and get comfortable, which paid dividends, as she eventually warmed up and I’m sure will look forward to her next jaunt with Ally.”
About: I am a 24 year old Male from Philadelphia. I am also a JNA institute of Culinary Arts and Disney College Program Alumni two times ! Outside of Culinary I love dogs. I think this is a great fit for me while I complete college courses from home. I plan to obtain my bachelors in restaurant management in the next few years. I live alone but I am very outgoing! I love to exercise on my free time and binge watch whatever’s on tv. I’ve own two dogs. Bejian & Yorkiepoo until I gave them away. I had them for about four years and did the best by them. Grooming, feeding, walking & training was the best! I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you!
About: I have been around animals for my whole life! I attended Saul High School and I am a recently graduated Veterinary nurse from Harcum college! I am currently working at Banfield Pet Hospital and I also have a Pet sitting Business called Walk on the Wild Side! I love pet sitting so anytime anyone needs me I try and make it fit into my schedule! I make sure that every pet gets proper care at the full potential! My pets are my most prized possession! They are all treated like my children and I make sure their every need is taken care of. That goes for other people’s pets as well! Your pets are my pets!
“I am a helicopter dog mom so Sean is the only one I will let watch over our baby girl if we can’t get home on time! We live on 25 acres with active wildlife, open spaces, and wandering hikers so it takes a very special person to be able to handle all of this and keep an eye on our girl’s safety simultaneously. He has a calm demeanor and he is extremely knowledgeable. He eased my worries and concerns. He is kind and meets my high expectations of who I want interacting with my dog. Highly recommend if you’re as picky as I am about who spends time with our girl!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“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”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life coming from animal loving parents and always surrounded by them. I love to watch and play with many different types of animal and always do my research. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with all the animals! I’m available to walk dogs anytime after 12pm on weekdays and boarding on weekends I have an open yard for dogs to run around in and have 2 of my own dogs which are very friendly and will give them many potty breaks and free time outdoors
“Danielle is great! Very responsive to messages and very accommodating to our needs, even with last minute changes due to bad weather or scheduling issues.”
About: Hello! I have worked with animals all my life and realized how much of a passion I have for them! I have worked at an animal rescue, dog shelter, and have become a foster for over 200+ dogs and puppies. Currently work from home full time and care for my dogs and puppies. My day typically starts around 6:45am/7:45(at the latest) I am able to walk them, take them to my neighborhood dog park, do training, socializing and of course play/loving time. Since i am home all day i do offer to take non-potty trained dogs i will just need a heads up that they are not potty trained yet. I have had alot of experience with different temperaments, health conditions, behavioral issues, and breeds please give me notice ahead of time and I will accommodate for what will be best for you fur baby. I do have 2 dogs of my own which are very dog friendly of all sizes and ages. If you are not comfortable with your baby cross interacting NO PROBLEM! They will be in a complete different room and will get plenty of water, walks, potty breaks, and play time! I currently work from home so I am home all day to care for any and all fur babies. I currently run off of a tight schedule starting between 6:45-7:30am going up until around 11pm typically. I make sure each dog is introduced properly. Everyone must be walked on a leash and collar and/or harness at all times outside of my home. Everyone is fed in a crate or separate room unless litter mates.
“Vicki is SUCH a kind, compassionate, reliable caregiver for my dog who has some special considerations. I am so grateful to have met Vicki. She is someone who truly respects animals & the people who are are connected to them.”
About: Ever since I was born, we have had a dog in the house. So, I have spent my whole life around dogs. In high school, I loved to go on long walks with my dog, Bella. In college, I was part of The Seeing Eye dog club. There I gained experience working with young service dogs in training. It was amazing to work with such young dogs and help them gain exposure to the world around them so they could focus on important work later in life. After college, I volunteered with EASEL Animal Rescue League, Shelter, & Pet Adoption, where we did pack walks and some group discipline training. It was during COVID that I started to really fall in love with cats. I was working on a farm, and a lot of my coworkers were barn cats. There was also a kitty transfer I did for EASEL Animal Rescue League, Shelter, & Pet Adoption, which made me so happy to help a kitty in need. A few years later, after I moved out, I adopted my own cat, Buttercup, from Treetops Kitty Café, and she has become my whole world. I am currently in between jobs, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I would love to take your dog for long walks, play fetch, and feed them. I am also open to helping take care of older dogs since they need more love and attention in their old age. I would also love to keep your cats company while you are away and make sure you are sent plenty of update photos. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of free time to take dogs for long walks and to keep energetic cats entertained. I am currently volunteering with PAWS in Philadelphia in order to spend more time helping animals in need. I will make sure to check in with each client to know the problem areas within each home, ask about typical hiding spots, and where cleaning supplies are for any accidents. I will also ask permission to take your pet to nearby parks and ask if there are areas that are off-limits.
About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Rock
Melissa is the best! This was her first time walking our dogs and she was attentive to their personalities and needs. She sent updates that made me laugh along with the most beautiful photos. I felt completely confident with them in her care and have already booked her again!
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!
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!
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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fern Rock is $20 per walk as of November 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.

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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
