About: NEW: The Chopperoni now accepts daycare guests! NEW: The Chopperoni now accepts dog walking requests! Welcome to The Chopperoni, a doggy homestay hotel located near Fishtown in Philly! ✨ Hello, dear humans and pupperonis! My name is Kira and I'm the head Chopperone at the Chopperoni, named so after my weiner boy Chopper. I'm a semi-retired programmer who works in app development and consulting. I work from home about 0-10 hours a week, which allows me to pursue pet-sitting as a full-time hobby! All profits go towards new toys, treats, and supplies. We welcome all pups 80lbs and under, and here's a list of what you can expect from your baby's stay with us: • 3-4 daily walks (more if needed) • Dogs welcome on all furniture and sleep in bed with me • 10-20 photos PER DAY • Playtime tailored to your dog's preferences and energy level • Plenty of cuddles and affection for dogs who enjoy them • Respectful space for independent, shy, or low-contact dogs • Playmates for maximum socialization! There are 3 resident dogs and I host up to 3 boarders at a time. We are either napping, going for a walk, playing, or sleeping together 🤣🤣🤣 • Meet and Greets are required to ensure all dogs get along! As a devoted dog mom, I know how hard it can be to leave your babies in someone else's care. But I'm here to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where both you and your pup can feel at ease. Thanks to being semi-retired, I'm pretty much around all day every day and can give the pups plenty of attention and companionship. They will enjoy 3–4 walks daily (or more if needed), along with dedicated playtime tailored to their individual personalities, energy levels, and preferences. All dogs are welcome on the furniture and are free to sleep in bed with me if they choose. Whether your pup loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax, I'll do my best to make them feel right at home! I've had two rescue dogs of my own since 2021, both of whom I adopted when they were 5–6 years old. My experience with dog care goes back even further, helping care for a family member's senior dog and was heavily involved in their daily routine. I'm especially experienced with senior dogs, administering medications, basic grooming, and caring for pups who may be anxious, independent, mildly grumpy, or simply prefer having their own space respected. At the same time, I'm active and energetic enough to keep up with younger dogs and those young at heart. I'm happy to match their energy level and make sure they get the physical and mental stimulation they need. I am home pretty much all the time! I have so much free time I can literally give the dogs my attention all day haha I only leave for 1-2 hours at a time to run my errands. My two-story apartment has 3 friendly dogs (1 tiny, 1 small, 1 medium) and all dogs are allowed to roam freely. The basement where my bedroom is has a big living space that's perfect for playing. There's a grassy patch of land across the street where we take the dogs for potty breaks, and we usually take the dogs to Norris Square for their walks.
“Wesley is a fantastic dog walker. He is amazingly reliable and really understands our dog. He is great at communicating with us and I am very impressed by how he goes above and beyond to offer excellent service. I can’t say enough about how grateful we are to have his support.”
“Anne is reliable and had great communication! Seeing the immediate connection she had with my dog gave me peace of mind. Looking forward to booking again!”
“Jenni was amazing with my dog, Bear. She quickly learned his likes and dislikes. Her recaps of each visit and photos were much appreciated. Bear clearly enjoyed his time with Jenni”
“This is my first time using a dog-walking service. I was extremely nervous. However, Areana ensured that I would be comfortable. Ms.Areana remained in constant communication, very professional, and seemed extremely nice. She completed all of my requests with no hesitation nor issues. Even after just one experience I would recommend her services. Looking forward to using her again in the near future. Note: I love how Areana sends photographs of the experience as well as a documentation of what occurred on the walk.”
About: Ever since I was born, we have had a dog in the house. So, I have spent my whole life around dogs. In high school, I loved to go on long walks with my dog, Bella. In college, I was part of The Seeing Eye dog club. There I gained experience working with young service dogs in training. It was amazing to work with such young dogs and help them gain exposure to the world around them so they could focus on important work later in life. After college, I volunteered with EASEL Animal Rescue League, Shelter, & Pet Adoption, where we did pack walks and some group discipline training. It was during COVID that I started to really fall in love with cats. I was working on a farm, and a lot of my coworkers were barn cats. There was also a kitty transfer I did for EASEL Animal Rescue League, Shelter, & Pet Adoption, which made me so happy to help a kitty in need. A few years later, after I moved out, I adopted my own cat, Buttercup, from Treetops Kitty Café, and she has become my whole world. I am currently in between jobs, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I would love to take your dog for long walks, play fetch, and feed them. I am also open to helping take care of older dogs since they need more love and attention in their old age. I would also love to keep your cats company while you are away and make sure you are sent plenty of update photos. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of free time to take dogs for long walks and to keep energetic cats entertained. I am currently volunteering with PAWS in Philadelphia in order to spend more time helping animals in need. I will make sure to check in with each client to know the problem areas within each home, ask about typical hiding spots, and where cleaning supplies are for any accidents. I will also ask permission to take your pet to nearby parks and ask if there are areas that are off-limits.
About: I have lived with dogs for all my life from a 7 pound chihuahua to a husky pit bull. I have experience with animals as young as 10 weeks as well as senior citizen pups, like my own ;) Additionally I am comfortable administering medication to animals as I’ve done so on previous occasions. Growing up with animals my whole life has made me not only a lover of them, but made me very aware of their needs and unspoken signals. I would love to get to meet your pup or cat! I am a recent college graduate working part-time as I break into the film industry and constantly looking for side hustles! My schedule is pretty flexible so please reach out to me for more information on scheduling. I am always sure to double check the leash is secure before even taking the dog outside. In addition I make sure to constantly keep an eye on them when I am there.
“My Luna girl LOVED Makaylah and was comfortable with her from the get go- which doesn’t always happen as Luna has… big feels lol. Makaylah handled her well, gave her good exercise, and communicated well with me regarding walks (and her move 😔)Sad to see her move away, she is great!”
“Timothy did a great job walking Puddin’! Puddin mentioned that Timothy communicated very well, was always on time, and he felt comfortable and confident on his walks.”
About: I’ve taken care of four-legged friends since I was 10. I currently have a 4 year old Corgi, whose daily mission is to make as many friends as he can. I personally use Rover, so I know how stressful it can be to find the right care for your pet. We all wish we could be with our furry friends 24/7. Let me help you during the times when you must be away! Current schedule for pet care: Mornings, Evenings and Overnight Long Weekends (Thursday night through Monday night); I currently work a hybrid job and am in the office 9-5 Tuesday through Thursday. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with my overly friendly corgi in the Fairmount area. I find constant communication with the owner regarding the care gives everybody peace of mind.
“AnnaMaria was punctual, considerate, very accommodating, and professional. Her questions about taking care of my dog were very thorough, asking me for important information I had totally forgotten to mention. Also just a very nice person!”
“Amy is super duper reliable and very sweet! I am very particular with my care instructions for our pup, and she always goes above and beyond to follow them. She has been able to help with a lot of last minute requests as it’s been a hectic few weeks. I love all of the notes she writes and pictures she uploads on the rover cards. Our pup loves hanging out with her! She’s the best!”
“Tara was incredible. She was very attentive with our dogs, we have very “quirky” dogs and by that I mean reactive/anxious! They are sweet but def have some anxieties that can be hard to care for and require patience. Tara was so patient with our two doggos and gave them the care they needed while we were away. She was always on time and sent us great photos and check in notes. Would 100% use her again if she was up to it (we know our dogs can be a lot). Thanks so much Tara, for caring for Frankie and Bear (and even being so kind to our kitty) while we were away! We knew they were in great hands.”
About: I enjoy taking long walks, lots of play, and offer dependable care tailored to your dog's needs. I’ve had many dogs in my life. And one special guy for 8 years. Kind, dependable sitter and walker for weekend getaways, short trips and one-off needs. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home. And I can provide care for any pet. I am reliable, punctual and respect your schedule. I happily follow feeding and medication schedules exactly as written. I send pictures and updates as requested.
About: I’ve been around animals basically my entire life. I just moved here from Key West, where I was the Marketing and Events Coordinator for the Florida Keys SPCA. During that time I got deeply involved in fostering and rehabilitating animals to get them adoption-ready, so there isn’t much I haven’t seen. Cats are my biggest area of expertise, but I’m just as good with dogs. I currently live with four cats of my own: two seniors, one who’s terrified of everything, and one with a neurological condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. So if your pet has quirks, medical needs, or a personality, we’ll get along. In my free time, I’m exploring my new city, playing video games, and drawing. I will 100% draw your pet. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits in easily. For overnight stays, I’d set up my work area at your place and hang out with your pets throughout the day. I’d just need to head back to my house once a day to check on my own animals. I’m a homebody by nature, so I’m around most of the time. I occasionally have weekend plans, but your pet will always be my top priority and I plan around them, not the other way around. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication times, and any specific instructions exactly as the owner lays them out. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, so if something seems off with appetite, energy, bathroom habits- etc, I’ll notice it early and communicate right away. For safety, I always double-check doors, gates, and windows, keep harnesses and leashes secure on walks, and stay aware of any household hazards (cords, plants, foods, open balconies). I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how things are going.
“My dog was so happy after his walk and playtime with Crystal! She was great about going his pace and letting him sniff, while still making sure he did all his business. Will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Madi and I have been caring for pets of various kinds for several years. As a pet owner and animal lover, I understand the importance of finding someone who will love and care for your pet. I will always do my very best to show every animal the respect and adoration it deserves. I am a therapist, so my schedule is somewhat variable and not always a typical 9-5. We can chat more about what would feet your needs best! My two cats are quite spoiled, and I like to joke that they live better than most humans. They get their own room, lots of sunny spots near windows, and as many cuddles as they will allow.
About: I’ve had my cat Stella for six years, through which I’ve gained experience of the proper care and attention needed. I’ve also had experience walking and caring for dogs. I am currently between jobs so I am flexible on when I can be available, whether for the short term or a longer term commitment. Stella is a medium haired cat, so I make sure to brush her at least three times a week. Despite sleeping most of the day, I also play with her at least 10 minutes a day so she can get exercise and stimulus.

Ana is always so great with my babies! I appreciate that she takes them on full 30 minute walks, they love that. And she’s always helpful with any little things the doggies may need. She’s great, I’ve rebooked her multiple times and will probably continue for as long as I can! 10/10 recommend
Danielle is amazing with my dog (and kitties), reliable, and a great caretaker. My dog Molly boarded with her, and now Danielle takes her for walks every week while I’m at work. Every experience has been amazing for months now. She always sends updates, pictures, and it is such a relief to know that my dog is in such good hands and made a new friend. She is so excited for her walks with Danielle. HIGHLY recommend :)
Andrea was fantastic with Enzo! She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout his stay. It means a lot knowing Enzo is in good hands and getting the attention he deserves. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with him and would happily recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. We'll definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Ludlow is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Ludlow. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ludlow after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Ludlow. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
