“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”

“Lisa is an amazing help. We have booked her several times to take care our dog when we were away. She takes great care of our dog, and also takes care of little things around the house. Our dog loves Lisa! We have to be careful not to tell her that Lisa is coming she gets all excited and waits at the door.”

“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was about 16 years old. I have plenty of experience with animals of all different shapes and sizes. I’m a ER nurse and I love to help others and will do everything in my power to make sure that your pet is in the best hands possible! Last but not least, I am also open to watching other furry friends such as bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and so forth! I’m a nurse and I have the ability to make my own schedule so essentially, you can tell me what days you need and I’ll can create my work schedule around that! I will be sure to always keep your pet on a leash when letting them use the bathroom outside. I currently have a mini aussiedoodle puppy at home. Once again, I care for cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, you name it!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years and trained our beautiful lab from six months old by attending regular sessions which I really enjoyed. I am used to administering medications if needed and would love to look after your fur baby! I’m a stay at home Mom of two so while the children are at school mon- fri I am available & also available on weekends! I look forward to feeding, playing and giving your fur baby lots of fuss as well as walks. I am happy to help with crate training too if needed.
About: I grew up with dogs and have had cats as an adult. I love dogs but I travel too much to have my own, so pet sitting is the next best thing. I work from home and have good control over my schedule. I already take walk breaks during the day (including 45 min - 1 hour at lunchtime) and have a large fenced yard. I give lots of attention and cuddles to any dogs and cats in my care, and ensure plenty of playtime, running, and walks. Dogs and cats are welcome in my workspace while I’m working, and on the furniture throughout the house.
About: I provide loving, personalized care for all pets. I’m experienced caring for puppies and senior pets, including giving medication and extra support. Your pet will feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure to spend quality time feeding, walking, playing, and monitoring each pet’s health every day. I also keep a consistent schedule to help pets feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I update owners with reports and adjust care as needed to meet each pet’s unique needs. At my home, where I live in an apartment with my friendly dog, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable space for pets to relax and play. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and stress-free. For clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintaining their pet’s usual schedule and environment to minimize disruption. In both settings, I provide lots of attention, affection, and monitor their health to ensure they’re feeling their best.
“Nick is fantastic! I have a 9 week old puppy and this has been my first experience with a dog walker. Nick has made it so easy and pleasant! He is reliable, flexible with times he can visit, and sends updates/pictures after walks. Overall, highly recommend him!”
About: I was an animal control officer in New Jersey and I worked at the shelter in Philadelphia for 3 years. I have done pet sitting jobs for about 7 years. I currently foster kittens and have saved the lives of around 100 cats. I’m extremely knowledge about cat and dog behavior and can also give medications. Rest assured, your fur babies will be in the best of hands with me. 🤲🏼🐾💕 I have two dogs and four rescue cats of my own. 🐶🐱 I am currently working full time until the end of the July and plan to take a month or two off. I am very flexible and can come watch/visit your pets during any time of the day. I can easily crate any dog and walk on all kinds of leashes/leads. I can also give a variety of medications. I’m happy to help your puppy with some training as well.
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals in my life ranging from beta fish to lizards to small dogs to big dogs. I’m confident in dealing with any issues that may arise I’m currently the owner of a golden retriever and a brown lab golden retriever mix that have trained as seeing eye dogs but unfortunately dropped out of the program for minor health reasons. I take them out every morning and afternoon and night. I feed them most days as my spouse does some days as well. My moto is let them have fun but be safe about it. For example in our apartment we will throw the toy up and down the hallway but we make sure that nothing breakable is in the way. We are also lucky enough to have a field close by with a long lead to let them run around and play fetch with them.

Gristmill Woods dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jeannette was lovely! She was easy to communicate with and interacted with my pups very well. I have an older dog and a younger dog with very different energy and Jeannette was great with both. She was able to do a meet and greet and walk with a pretty short turn around as another walker had cancelled on me. I would absolutely recommend Jeannette to other pet parents!
