“Courtney is a great dog “person”! She met with me and my new puppy to get to know her to make sure it would be a good fit, and was very good with her and with flexibility on what options I needed for walking and feeding! She is also a great “people person”! She sent me photos and updates every day so I could keep track of what was going on while I was at work. Courtney’s the best and all two legged and four legged creatures are lucky to have her!! 😊”
“What would I ever do without Marilyn’s commitment and dedication to my beloved pet. If you find a Rover Champion make sure to appreciate them. Thanks Rover for finding this gem.”
About: I have working experience with a vast array of animals. I enjoy learning about different animals, creating species specific care guides and following them! I have experience shadowing at both a dog day care, and a veterinarian hospital. I am in college for Conservation and Wildlife Management, and have a senior dog, and a hamster of my own! I am currently taking a semester off from college, and would love to stay active throughout the fall and winter! I often love to explore new areas, and I'm sure a pet would too! I am very responsible to make sure all doors, gates, etc are closed and locked before leaving to ensure no pet escapes. Animal safety is a priority of mine, and I will be sure to follow any instructions left for this reason. I will also clean up any mess left by a pet that occurs while I'm there.
“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”
“We’re so happy we found Rachel. We just got a puppy and really needed help during the work week to let him and our other dog out. She was very professional, friendly and took to our dogs right away. She leaves prompt info on the walk and replies right away with any scheduling needs. Highy recommend her services!”
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!
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.
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with our 2-year old golden retriever. She is reliable, friendly, and genuinely loves animals. Lucy arrived on time, provided great communication and updates, and made sure our dog got plenty of exercise! The regular photo updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
About: Hello! I am Havyn and I have lots of personal experience caring for big and small dogs and cats. I have had many types of dogs and cats and have been the caretaker of those pets since the age of 7. I will play, walk, and/or run with your pets or play with them at my home with any of their favorite toys. I will also take them to any local dog parks, on bike trails, or anything else that is nearby if you please. Tell me about their favorite things to do or their favorite places to go near your home and I will make it happen. Any questions please contact me with the information provided. I will answer promptly no matter the day of the week!
“Keri was my first dog walker using Rover and she made it an excellent experience! She responded promptly, communicated well, and arrived exactly on time. My dog, Lucy, loved her, and we hope to see her again. We're very satisfied customers, both canine and human!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I have dogs, cats, pet rats, snakes, geckos, and frogs. I work with dogs with behavioral issues, sassy snakes, geckos who fling themselves into the air and birds who aren't interested in my company! There's nothing on this planet I can't find a reason to love. I work full time during the day from 11-7 so I am unable to do midday visits, but I am happy to do breakfast and dinner check-ins What type of care I give is catered specifically to the individual animal. Some want cuddles, some want someone to sit nearby and be read to, some just want to eat! I let the animal set the stage of our interactions, I find that it fosters a deeper connection in the long term. This method is applied to the best of my ability when it comes to pets requiring medication as needing medication requires a more active hands on approach
“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 🫶🏾”
“Barb was the perfect welcome representative for our first time using Rover. She answered all of our first timer questions and put our mind at ease. What a great first experience.”
About: Retired dog groomer and life long dog owner. I was a dog walker in Center City before I started a family. I was also a dog groomer for 10 years and have plenty of experience around all kinds of pets. I currently walk a few dogs in the surrounding area and have a flexible schedule as I work from home as a real estate agent. Our dog passed away during COVID, and we are currently dog less. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding house trained, kid friendly dogs, week days and most weekends. I am also available to house sit in your home with your pet if you prefer. I can provide daily walks and/or yard play time and exercise, as well as feeding and admiring administering simple medications. In my home we have an unfenced yard, so I will walk your dog as per specific needs. We prefer pets not on furniture or bed, and would rather have owner provide something to sleep on. If not provided we do have blankets. We have 3 boys 16 and under so dogs would have to be kid friendly. Our boys love dogs and grew up with a doberman. They are respectful, calm and understanding of pet needs.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11, and that's when I also started working on a ranch. Until about 2019 I took care of dogs, chickens, horses, and cats. Animals are a very important part of my life and I'm very good at taking care of them. Taking care of pets is a full-time job, but it's one that I've enjoyed my entire life. I take care of animals in some way everyday and everywhere I've gone. Everything in my house is pet proof and I have hardwood floors just in case there are any accidents. There are gated off and inaccessible areas that the cats can get into but the dogs can't. Everybody has a space. I also have a fenced in yard for them to explore. I live in a very nice neighborhood as well, so it's a safe area to walk the dogs.
About: Hi there! I have 4 years of experience caring for my own sweet Maltipoo, plus two senior Chihuahuas (13 and 9 years old) in my family. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and temperaments—whether they’re energetic or need extra patience. I provide loving, attentive care and treat every dog like family💛. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities! I work full-time on Rover, so I’m very responsive and usually reply within 5 minutes❣️. I’m available every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Early mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me—I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. Last-minute bookings are welcome! At home, I create a cozy, safe environment for all pets. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is well-behaved and friendly, and he loves company! I ensure pets have plenty of playtime, relaxing moments, and space to feel comfortable. I’m very attentive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or giving extra love. Your dog will be treated like family, with all the attention and care they deserve.

Caitlin responded on last minute notice to take Stella for walks on the following 5 consecutive days (including a meet and greet walk in the rain). She responded promptly to any communication, showed up at her scheduled time every day, and gave us good feedback on how Stella did. Would highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a walker.
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.
Lauren is truly the best! Our little guy DJ literally jumps with pure joy the moment he sees her arrive, which says everything about how much he adores her. ❤️ She gives him the perfect combination of fun-filled walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of snuggles, and we always know he’s in the very best hands. Lauren is caring, dependable, thoughtful, and clearly loves what she does. It gives us such peace of mind knowing DJ is not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and excited to spend time with her. We couldn’t recommend Lauren more highly. She has become such a special part of DJ’s life, and ours too!
Lucy was absolutely wonderful with our 2-year old golden retriever. She is reliable, friendly, and genuinely loves animals. Lucy arrived on time, provided great communication and updates, and made sure our dog got plenty of exercise! The regular photo updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Jenkintown on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,393 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jenkintown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 your Jenkintown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Jenkintown.

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 Jenkintown. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
