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.

I will also take them to any local dog parks, on bike trails, or anything else that is nearby if you please.

“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.”
“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 experience caring for both small and large breeds, including administering medications and sticking to routine schedules. From long walks to playful fetch sessions or cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I’m a mother of one, as well as a proud pet mom to a 6-year-old Maltese and a 5-year-old tuxedo cat. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, reliable care. I’m detail-oriented, caring, and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I’ll care for your pet just like I do my own. I’ll stick to their routine so they feel safe and comfortable, make sure they’re fed, walked, and loved on, and handle any medications they need. You can count on lots of updates and photos, because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your pet happy while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little kid. I’ve been professionally walking and sitting for over a year now. I’ve had several family members ask me to take care of their dogs and cats. I only walk two dogs Monday and Tuesday so the rest of the week I am available for a service. I work from home and can take a walk in the morning or late in the afternoon. I would be more than happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their home. I get on their level and make sure to talk calmly and let them get comfortable on their own terms

About: Hello, my name is Megan and I’ve had pets throughout my whole life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens and turtles! I am dedicated to making sure our furry friends are happy, healthy, and cared for. Please contact me if you have any questions! I currently work two blocks away from where I live, which makes it very convenient for me to be able to stop home throughout the day. I am free on weekends. I’ve taken care of all different kinds of pets in various environments. I am comfortable leaning into new spaces and making sure that the pet I am caring for gets everything he needs. Whether that means trips to the park for more exercise if yard space isn’t enough, or meal planning for pets with specific needs.
“Brandon was excellent! Arranged a meet & greet beforehand and my dog Stone was a fan from the first second. Stone was super happy and Brandon was a factor in that. Thx!!”

I’m also comfortable helping reinforce positive behaviors if you’re working on training. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels secure, respected, and cared for, just like they would with you!
“Marian is fantastic! This is a new plan for us rather than boarding our Rocco. Our spinone is a bit of a stubborn and sometime cautious baby and her patience and kind way was exactly what we needed to allow us to leave him comfortable in our home rather than kennel him. Thank you Marian! We are looking forward to working with you more and building a sweet relationship for him.”

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!
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!
We can’t say enough good things about JJ! Our 6-month-old puppy is full of energy and mischief, but JJ handles him with patience, kindness, and expertise. In just the first week, she's already helped him learn better habits and we’re so grateful to have found her!

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.

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.

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
