Laura helped us out at the last minute and did a great job with our dog. Our dog doesn’t always feel comfortable with people right away but he gravitated to Laura’s warmth and friendliness!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since grade school and truly can’t remember a time without pets in my life. I grew up with two dogs, Bailey and Shakespeare, a cat named Tooka, and a rotating cast of birds, fish, hermit crabs, and other small chaos-makers. I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets, personalities, and quirks. 😊 For over a decade, I’ve been my sister’s go-to pet sitter, and more recently I spent three years in Southern Vermont house and pet sitting, caring for homes and animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. As a seasoned thru hiker and outdoor enthusiast, I love taking pups for long walks and soaking up the sun. I’m quick to respond, reliable, and responsible. I also genuinely love hanging out with animals and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and a bit spoiled while you’re away. I recently returned home from New Zealand, where I spent four months thru-hiking the length of the country. I’m now back in the suburbs of Philadelphia working as a substitute teacher. I’m an early riser and usually wrap up with work around 2:30pm. That schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning feedings and walks, afternoon check-ins after school, and evening visits as needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. Please share your pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I’m happy to follow them closely. I’m flexible and committed to caring for your pets in a way that matches how you would care for them, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away.

This was the first time using Rover, and a dog walker at that, so I was super nervous. Nicole was fantastic from the very moment we made contact. Glad Marley will now have someone to help when I am away for a day.

About: Hi — I’m Chen. I’ve spent 4 years caring for a high‑energy Husky, so I understand the needs of active breeds: consistent exercise, mental enrichment, and a predictable routine. I offer tailored walks, focused play sessions, and attentive check‑ins. I provide photo updates, can handle medication reminders, and keep things calm and structured to match your dog’s personality and routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for daytime pet care. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, playtime, or check‑ins while you’re at work, I’ll adapt my hours to keep their routine consistent and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I create a secure, low‑stress environment and follow your pet’s routine exactly — feeding, exercise, meds, and any special instructions. I use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings on walks, and respect cats’ boundaries while providing gentle care. I’m experienced with shy or anxious animals and always work with patience. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

About: My name is Eleanor. In the last year we recently lost our own senior dogs who were 17, 16 and 15. We fostered and subsequently adopted a corgi puppy who we nursed through a PDA heart surgery. He is a happy, healthy pup and LOVES being with other dogs. I am also the mom of five children who are 13, 12, 9 and 4 year old twins. I have provided pet care services for many years but started back up after the addition of our twins :) My husband works from home which allows me to come help you with your furry friend! I am on the board of a senior dog rescue called Senior Dog Haven and Hospice and ran it for 10+ years until I recently passed on the reins. We rescue dogs aged 7 and up that have found themselves homeless later in life. I love animals, especially elderly ones, and have dedicated my life to their care. I have fostered almost 100 senior dogs in the last 10 years and have a ton of experience with special needs dogs. I would love to come love on your dog and spoil them anytime you need me! We require your furry friend to be kid and dog friendly as they will get lots of love from our pack of children and our puppy, Gus Gus! I am a stay at home mom with a husband that works from home. Our schedule is extremely flexible and someone is almost always home. I have a one acre fenced in yard that has a small dog and large dog fenced in area. I love animals and will always take the very best care of them! We often host doggy day care days to tire out pups! We take caring for your furry loved ones seriously, and carry our own insurance coverage for your added peace of mind!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages since I was 18 years old! I’m a cat owner of 4 years myself as well, and my kitty is my very best friend. As far as sitting, I have done mostly done overnight stays, but I have done pop ins and walking as well. I’ve sat for small dogs and large, puppies, kittens and elderly pups. I absolutely love spending time around and caring for animals. I do work part time, usually averaging about 5 shifts a week. I make my own schedule biweekly, and my shifts are generally no more than 5-6 hours, so my hours are extremely flexible depending on when I’m needed! I am all for play, walking, and unlimited pets when I dog/cat sit. I will pay careful attention when it comes to letting them out if there is a fenced yard, as well as to their collar and leash prior to taking them out on walks. A pet owners directions are very important to me as far as feeding/potty/medication times, and I take the responsibility of caring for any animal very seriously.

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have only guinea pigs now, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for more than 15 years and have been doing it as a business since 2022, fully bonded and insured in addition to Rover's insurance. I am available for daily walks while you are at work (or working from home) and pet sits where I stay in your home while you are traveling. Over the years, I have worked part time for a pet sitting company and on my own, where I had regular dog walking clients who I walked daily as well as pet sat (both dogs and cats) for several clients in their homes. In addition to my pet sitting/dog walking business, I also have a second online business and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from anywhere. I am able to work around your pet's schedule. Growing up I had a cat and several dogs. Our family had our 17yr old puggle named Shelby who was the absolute best, and gave me great experience with senior dogs. I have experience administering medication, pills only. Puppies are cute and fun, but senior dogs are the kindest souls (even when they get grumpy). I love animals and find that spending time with a dog can be the best part of my day. My animal clients and I are quickly besties and we're having a blast together while you're away. I care for your home while I'm staying there, and make sure to leave it exactly how I found it. I send daily updates with photos and leave a written note at the end sharing with you all the fun we got up to during our time together. I would love to meet your four-legged family member and care for them as if they were my own. My clients stay with me for many years so I'd love to add you to the family! I am available for every day walks, pet sits in your home and I'm open to longer-stay pet sits. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I'm currently building an online business and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from anywhere. I am able to work around your pet's schedule. I will give your animals the best care inside your home, and follow their existing routine and schedule. I don't offer the service of caring for your animal inside my home. I make sure to care for your home in addition to your animals and leave it exactly how I found it.

We used Kate to walk our dog because my husband had knee replacement and I was working. This is my first experience using a dog walker. I was really nervous about it. Kate put my fears to rest. She was in communication about my dogs wants and needs when walking. She sent a report of where they went and what my dog did( pooping, rolling in the snow etc…) and a photo. I couldn’t be happier. I trust Kate implicitly and will use her again.
