“Nicole has been phenomenal with my four dogs for walking. My little boy dog is very shy and he INSTANTLY warmed up to her! Coming multiple times a week she has given my dogs the love and care that they need while I am away. She leaves very detailed notes and sends great photos every time. HIGHLY recommend Nicole for all of your pet needs!!!”

About: I’m a single woman who recently lost my dog. I travel a lot for work but would love the companionship of a dog when I am home. I love all dogs and am truly looking forward to having some temporary fur babies as guests. I had a chihuahua and a Bassett hound. Both passed recently and it was heart wrenching. I’m looking to share companionship with all kinds of dogs during my weekends and some week days. My home is animal free. Your fur baby will receive all of my attention. There will be walks and plenty of time spent in my fenced in yard. I’m only accepting house broken dogs. I look forward to chatting with you about dog sitting your fur baby soon. Thank you.

About: I’ve taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I’ve also owned a senior dog and puppy myself, both of which needed diapers, as well as a very reactive, energetic dog. I have also done overnight dog sitting stays for friends and family, and have babysat dogs ranging in sizes from a yorkshire terrier to a golden retriever. I’m a college student who has plenty of free time. I do a hybrid schedule of online and in person classes which allows me the freedom to have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet care. I also have my own transportation. I have training with dog CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, and did my college sophomore year research paper on it. I have one dog, he’s an extremely friendly, 3 year old golden doodle. He goes on three walks a day, sometimes more, and gets to play in our fenced in yard whenever he sits by the back door. I also had a poodle who was my childhood dog. She lived to be 15 and was extremely happy and well taken care of. My family is a family of dog and animal lovers. We’ve had a range of pets from fish and mice to cats and dogs.
About: I have lived with both cats and dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for pets for family members while they were on vacation, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I am graduating college in December and most of my classes are online. I also work part-time, and my job is partially remote, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because of this flexibility, I am available most days and can adjust my availability to fit pet care needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, and routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I make sure doors are secure, water is always fresh, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and close attention to their individual needs.

About: Grew up with a very small dog but my family used to dog-sit and walk dogs for my neighbors with all kinds of dogs! We trained our dog and I know a good amount about owning/taking care of dogs and puppies from past experience. I am currently a full time college student so I’m pretty flexible! I’m pretty available in the morning, nights and sporadically during the day. I walk my dog twice a day for 20 minutes minimum given that she is a small pup and I'm ready to accommodate to any pups needs. I make sure to train her with training treats to keep mental stimulation up! I am also very attentive to make sure she’s always comfortable and safe!

About: Hi! My name is Rachael and I live in Delran. I have been dog-sitting for about 14 years now. I've taken care of small and big dogs and love caring for them and also playing with them. I have a 12 year old retriever pitbull myself that my family rescued. I know how to care for her when she's stressed out, like when there is a thunderstorm or fireworks going off. So, I can provide a calming atmosphere for dogs when needed and am always ready to have fun with dogs, too! I have experience administering oral medications as well. I have cared for up to three dogs at the same time. I love making dogs feel at ease and I love seeing their high energy when we play! I am currently available for dog walking and at-home visits while you are away. I am currently working part time, so I have pretty open availability each week for visits and dog walking! I love spending time with animals and can ensure I provide top notch service for your pets. Currently, I live with my family dog that is a 12 year old pitbull retriever mix. I am not currently offering in-home care for other pets, as I do not want to interfere with my dog, but at your home I can play with them, feed them, relax with them, walk them, and do whatever you need me to do to provide a safe environment for your pet!

I know basic first aid for dogs and have shadowed at a small animal clinic. I work to provide a calm and safe environment for the animals I am caring for!
“Michael was wonderful with my dog Shelby. He showed up on time each day, and was gentle and patient with her. (She was reluctant to go out sometimes). He communicated with me each day about how it went. Shelby acquainted herself quickly with Michael and started to look forward to her walks. I would highly recommend him. He's definitely a dog lover and is responsible and communicative. Thanks Mike!”

About: I have been a surgery vet nurse for 3 years. I can clean litter boxes, clean up dog disposals, and care for your pet however you need. I currently work as a Behavioral Analyst, working with children with Autism and with severe disabilities. I still work part-time as a surgery vet nurse. I can walk all dogs, play with them in the yard, and crate them if/when needed. I am also comfortable with administering medication if needed.
“I'm new to Rover and decided to give it a try. Scheduled an intialt dog-walking with Debbie just so we could get to know each other a bit. My first impressions were - and are - very positive. Debbie was very thorough and friendly, she immediately took to our dog Sadie (and Sadie to her), and she also took some time to helping me negotiate the Rover app a bit. In short, I came away very impressed and definitely plan to use her help and services going forward.”
About: Hi! I’m Jenny From The Block. Dog lover, rescuer, and mom. I have 30 plus years of experience with my own and others’ dogs — and pets/animals of all kinds really. I’m married with 3 almost-grown boys. Everyone knows my favorite “boy” is a 4 year old, 20 pound Chihuahua/Jack Russell(?) mix rescue named Brodie. He’s very social and kind, and he loves to play. In his bow tie, he looks like a tiny, furry old man. He’s trained and great with other dogs. These days, he's a bit sad & lonely because we recently lost our puppy Akira to epilepsy. I have experience administering meds, adhering to a strict schedule, seizures, emergency medical care… I have experience with older and special needs animals, and puppies are no problem. As an owner of dogs with anxiety, I can assure you that your pup will receive the personalized attention that they need. I have lots of experience with high anxiety dogs and the behavior that can come along with an anxious dog. Patience and trust is key. I’ll like to brush the dogs daily for a healthy coat and to reduce anxiety (and reduce shedding!). I have 3 years professional obedience training from puppy on up. I have no issues with any sort of crates, collars, housing types, etc… We have crates if your pup feels more secure there or just needs some “me time.” Or they can play, lounge or nap in our separate doggie lounge area. My pets are allowed on furniture and sleep in the bed with us. I’m happy to accommodate your dog in whatever conditions they are most used to at home, makes them (and you!) most calm, comfortable, and happy when away from home. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I'm free to spend a lot of time playing with and taking care of your dog. My schedule is flexible and dictated by the “dogs’ days.” Some days we have tons of energy and are excited to get outside to run, play and release energy. Other days are lazy days, where snuggles, naps and belly rubs are in order. I love playing and cuddling with all the furbabies and will sit down on the floor with them for one on one and pack time. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell who’s having more fun! Most dogs need daily exercise to keep them from getting bored or anxious, and to release energy. Weather-permitting, a typical morning or afternoon includes a long walk in my quiet & safe neighborhood. It’s a great opportunity to get exercise and practice commands & and good manners with other (friendly) dogs we meet. Or, we might spend time in the yard playing, exploring, chasing squirrels, birds or each other… followed by a nice nap in the sun. Regular activity and stimulation results in a calm, happy dog at pick up. I have a relatively flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and weekdays and can work with you on your specific pick up, drop off, daycare, and boarding time table. I treat all dogs as if they are my own. My services are tailored to your pet's unique needs, ensuring they get all the love, playtime, and belly rubs they are used to at home! (Possibly more!) My fun but firm approach has earned me the title of 'dog whisperer'. Dogs are innately pack animals and don’t always like being alone, so it’s important that your dog trusts me and we bond. I am with them all day when they’re here. Pet safety as my top priority, you can trust that your furry friend will be in good hands with me. When we go outside, I stay with them at all times. I have secure fencing around the backyard. Dogs are never left unattended outdoors. I live in a quiet, safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. My home is also safe, secure and animal-friendly. I have space for crates if you need your dog to sleep in a crate at night, otherwise they are free to sleep with me. For a smooth transition, I ask you pack your pup's collar/harness, leash, food, and crate or other items they enjoy. Please let me know if your pet has any medical limitations, physical limitations, any other sort of restriction. Also, if they have a history of reactivity/aggression towards people or dogs so I can accommodate their behavior. You can have 100% peace of mind when your fur baby is with me.
About: I have cared for dogs since I have memory but never for money. I’ve foster dogs from streets, took care of them, get them medicine and try to find a new home. This is how I’ve found my cat. Mia had a broken leg, we gave her love and took care of her and it was so sad if we had to say goodbye so we adopted her and we couldn’t foster again for a couple years until a year ago when we foster another pet, a dog, that also couldn’t say bye either so now she is my favorite troublemaker. I don’t live with them anymore as I had to move away for work and i am looking to build my profesional profile with pet sitting and earn some money on the side. Looking to help families here and there. I would love to find a daily job but I understand needs fluctuate. I am also available for 24/7 care, overnight care and temporal care. I don’t have a fenced yard but I do have a very controlled environment and make sure no one leaves without a leash: water is always available and fridge has space to refrigerate your pup’s meals

David was wonderful. I had to have surgery and couldn't walk my German Shepherd but he took care of her like she was one of his own. She always came home from the walks so happy and tuckered out. He cared about my healing as well, not just seeing me as a customer. I really appreciate him and his care for my dog.

We’ve had a great experience with Nicole! She walks our bernedoodle weekly, is always on time, a great communicator, and brings such a positive energy. She clearly loves what she does and our dog is always excited to see her every visit. It’s a huge relief knowing our dog is in such caring hands. Highly recommend!

Elley has truly been an incredible dog walker for my dog, Caramel, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she made such a strong impression during our initial meet and greet, Caramel instantly fell in love with her. As a dog owner, that immediate connection meant everything to me and reassured me that Caramel would be in great hands. Since then, Elley has been walking Caramel weekly, and she has consistently gone above and beyond. She is extremely attentive and clearly takes the time to understand Caramel’s needs, personality, and energy level. I always feel confident knowing that Caramel is safe, cared for, and genuinely happy during their time together. One of the things I appreciate most is how communicative and informative Elley is. She always provides thoughtful updates after each walk and sends plenty of pictures, which I absolutely love it gives me peace of mind and brightens my day seeing how much fun Caramel is having. It’s very clear that Elley truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that level of dedication is hard to find. Caramel adores her walks with Elley, and I can honestly say she is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about what they do, Elley is the perfect choice.
