“Couldn’t have been happier with John - would give him 10 stars if I could. John was SO Cummings gift before, during, and after the walk for my pup Brutus. He took video and pics of the walk, shared updates, dried his paws off from the rain. It was seamless and made me feel so much better about leaving my pup home. Thank you John!!”

About: Hi everyone my name is Joann and I work full time during the week but am hybrid with a flexible schedule. I grew up with a yellow lab, Lucy and Shih-poo named Oliver. I also grew up with several English bull dogs. I have pet sat for all types of dogs ranging from labs to shih tzus to rottweilers and feel comfortable with any age, size, and temperament. I love the outdoors and if your dog is up for it, I would love to take them on walks. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am available all day listed on my calendar. I love getting as much time outside as possible so we will go on lots of walks. I love going for walks so I am happy to take your pet on walks with me. I also have comfy couches for your pup to curl up on. I'll also be sure to send you lots of pictures while you're away!
About: There hasnt been a day in my life my family hasn’t had dogs. 6 beautiful labs have been a part of my life, all named after various national parks and vacation spots my family has traveled to and camped at. I’ve had the pleasure of breading 1 of my dogs 2 times, so I’ve seen the life of dogs from birth to the end. I know what it takes to make sure they have what they need and also enjoying playing as well. I am a hybrid worker so some days of the week I am home. If I am in office I am usually gone around 8 am - 3pm. My house doesn’t have a yard, but there is a big park a few blocks away that I would happily take them too. There is plenty of space in my room for a dog bed at night. If at a clients home, I would ensure they get daily walks, food, water, etc.
“Timothy did a great job walking Puddin’! Puddin mentioned that Timothy communicated very well, was always on time, and he felt comfortable and confident on his walks.”
“Ashleigh did a great job with our girl Mabel! Mabel’s new to the family and still adjusting and Ashleigh put my mind at ease while I was away for the weekend.”
“Natalie was so good with my special needs mini dachshund. She was responsive and communicative about everything and was so sweet with him. I will definitely book her again next time we need help with him :)”
“Amazing dog walker! Always on time, super trustworthy, and clearly cares about the dogs like they’re their own. Our dog absolutely loves Patrice. Couldn’t ask for better.”
Fishtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
We can’t recommend Areana enough — 10/10! From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, calm, and attentive. She took the time to come meet our dog, Rina, and allowed her to decompress and get comfortable at her own pace. Areana even came back a second time just to make sure Rina was fully accustomed to her, which really meant a lot to us. She kept us consistently updated during walks and always made sure we were in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog walker.
Kaśka was amazing with Luna!! She followed all of my crazy dog mom instructions, sent tons of adorable pics, scrubbed Luna’s paws each time they came in from a walk, left detailed notes from each walk, made sure to leave the TV on for Lu, and also brought my packages inside. It’s clear she cares very much about the dogs she handles and I feel very safe leaving Luna in her care. Already booked again :)
Hailey was excellent. She was punctual, communicated well, was friendly and enthusiastic, and handled a new situation with ease. She was composed with my eager pup who can be a handful when excited to meet new people. Hailey is clearly a dog lover who will channel that energy into her work. I would highly recommend Hailey for your pet care needs.
Miri made a wonderful first impression on us, and she is doing a great job with my dog, Paco. Miri is positive, friendly and easy to talk to. And she’s very reliable and is always on time. Paco loves his walks, and he demonstrates that by jumping and dancing around with excitement when she arrives. That’s what a mother likes to see! Miri pays attention to him, sends us wonderful pictures of Paco out gallivanting in the wild, and documents his activities and any concerns she has on his Report Card promptly. This effort is appreciated and assures me that he is in good hands with her. Recently his paws hurt from the snow and he did not want to walk further so Miri reported that she even carried him home!! Paco needs some new “Dog Marten’s”. I highly recommend booking with Miri!
Stephen was very friendly, professional, and kind but struggled with getting shoes on my dog so he was unable to take my dog for a proper walk. We have a lot of broken glass in our area so he needs shoes to go for a walk. Not a good fit for us but I am confident he would do a great job with most other dogs.
Rebecca is always great with Riley! He takes a few days to warm up and he gets very stubborn, especially when it's cold outside. She did a great job with meeting him where he is and going with how he's feeling that day. Her report cards for her visits are always super detailed. I'll definitely book with her again in the future!
