“Charles has been so great with my dog! I was having a lot of accidents due to long work hours and also probably some boredom; Charles takes my dog on such long walks! I truly notice a different and I know that my dog is happier now!”
“Alicia has been great! She is professional, communicative, and detailed. Lyra has taken to her quickly and is comfortable walking with her. I feel lucky to have found Alicia to walk Lyra and spend time with her.”
“Kathy walked my Greyhound for the first time this morning and she did a great job. She communicated with me about how my Greyhound was doing walking in the heat Kathy is a responsible , punctual and caring Dog Walker I highly recommend Kathy and I will use her again”
“My dog is a rescue who is still overcoming his fear-based aggression. Anthony was calm and patient when he met him. He also took extra time to comfort him while I was away because he knew he had separation anxiety. Anthony also communicated with me daily to discuss any concerns. When I was searching for a dog sitter, I read Anthony’s Rover profile in which he writes about his life-long love for animals. This is why I hired him and he has proven that he truly cares. I will be hiring him again for sure and feel confident in recommending him to other dog owners, especially those with dogs who need extra TLC.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and animals since I was a little kid. Over the course of my life I have always had an animal by my side! Whether that be a dog, cat, fish, reptiles or even animals like hamsters and rabbits every single one them have been given the love and attention needed! Recently I had to care for my elderly dog with her medication and mobility issues. I have also been pet sitting for my families who are in need of assistance with special needs animals. I am available 7 days a week anytime during the day. I am also available nights and weekends as well. So if you need to go out of town for an overnight I have plenty experience in house sitting as well. I always make sure that they have a proper sleep schedule and also make sure their day is full of activities and excitement so they don’t miss a beat when they are back in the arms of their wonderful owner.
“This was our first time using Karen and she did a wonderful job. My anxious pup settled in nicely and was very happy in all of the pictures Karen sent. Loved the updates too. Will definitely use Karen again.”
About: My names Jenna and I’m a full time animal lover! I’m studying zoology at Delaware Valley University. I love pups. I even have my own guy name Sammy a.k.a. Dorito Head. I have tons of free time during the summer. Considering schools out! Love spending it with my puppers so much I would love to help out others by watching yours. I’m up early everyday and I’m very active. I’m very easy, I drool over big and small, lazy and active pups. I loves long walks in the many parks around this area and playing fetch. Or sitting on the couch snuggling and watching movies. I have my own Netflix and hulu so I can put on ‘pets’ or ‘Marley and Me’ on rerun! If you have any more questions, feel free to message me,
About: Current dog owner & grew up with dogs my whole life! I use Rover myself, and there is nothing more important to me than caring for animals. I am available anytime any day! I have a pet of my own so just a day’s notice helps (not a deal breaker though). Open to walking, pop in visits, and house sitting. I cannot have any dogs at my house, unfortunately. I will not bring her to your house either, so it will not be in issue. (She is always in good hands though!) She’s our little rescue princess 🐾. I will send you updates and pictures because I always want you to know your dog is safe, healthy, and happy 😊.
About: Hi! I'm Nicole and I am a dancer/choreographer/dance teacher/mom currently living in Collingswood. With the little time that I have off I thought this would be the perfect way to make a little extra cash AND to get to hang out with some animals! I have been dog/cat sitting since high school and always treat every animal as if it's my own. I never had a pet growing up (I was one of 4 kids so there was no time or space for a dog) but have always been a huge pet lover! I currently have a 13 year old cat named Pistachio who I love more than anything. I would love to get the chance to hang out with your furry friend! I am the main person who takes care of my cat. I make sure she has water, food, clean her litter box, and okay with her. I have free time often and I love going for walks! I prefer not to have pets in my home so I like going to others homes to sit their animals. I treat the home and the pet as if they were my own.

“Amy has been a blessing. Our Santi has anxiety and generally takes quite a while to warm up to people. Finding a walker/sitter has been a challenge. When Amy came for a meet and greet Santi barked only a couple times before deciding Amy is her new BFF! I was worried she might change her attitude when Amy came to walk her. Amazingly, so far it's been great! Amy is a dog whisperer. I feel completely at ease know Amy will be staying with Santi when I travel for business. Thank you so much, Amy! We appreciate you tremendously.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a young child, and caring for them truly feels like second nature. I’m a longtime dog owner to Raleigh, my spunky Chiweenie, and I’ve been the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone to care for their dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for my sister’s dog from the time she was a puppy and continued to support her through different stages of life, including during cancer care. I’ve also helped friends by caring for their dogs while they’re away for vacations or extended periods of time. Through all of these experiences, I’ve spent time with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I adjust my approach based on the needs of each dog. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent walks and drop-in visits throughout the day—whether your dog needs a quick break, a longer walk, or multiple visits while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines and always aim to make time with your dog feel familiar, comfortable, and enjoyable. At the end of the day, I’m simply someone who genuinely enjoys being around dogs and treats them like family. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your dog is getting the same consistent, caring attention you would give—even when you’re not able to be there. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent walks and drop-in visits throughout the day—whether your dog needs a quick break, a longer walk, or multiple visits while you’re away.

“Karina was great! When my dog wouldn’t get in her collar Karina problem solved and made the best of the visit. She kept me up to date with what was going on. Would definitely use Karina again!”
“Had a last-minute request and she was very timely in her response. Did a really great job of communicating taking pictures of the pup who seemed happy. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have a natural way with dogs. I've cared for a variety of pets all my adult life, including several dogs, cats and reptiles. Dogs are by far my favorite. I like all breeds and mixes but am partial to Rotties and Boston Terriers. I'm an active person by nature and love to take walks in the park. I live in Collingswood, South Jersey just 7 miles from Philadelphia and spend a lot of time in the city. So I'm OK taking care of dogs in South Jersey or Philadelphia. Right now my dog is a boxer mix named Frankie. He’s 3 years old, and loves playing with all other dogs. It’s amazing how he adjusts his style of play to dogs of any size!

We've used Bri multiple times and couldn’t be happier. Our pup, Nakita, looks forward to her visits. You can instantly tell she has a genuine love for animals; she treats Nakita like her own. She's incredibly reliable, always on time, and sends the best photo updates— Nakita mid-leap with pure joy, which makes my day. She's super flexible with our crazy schedule! Highly recommend her for anyone!
We had a great experience with Robbie caring for Chloe and Maisie. He was kind, reliable, communicative, and very attentive to both girls. His updates throughout the week were always thoughtful and reassuring, and we loved the photos he sent! Our puppy is very nervous with new people and even more nervous outside on a leash. Robbie didn’t seem worried when we told him this, and we now know why. We were genuinely impressed by how comfortable Maisie became with him. He was calm, patient, and encouraging, and we saw noticeable progress in her confidence and willingness to walk in the neighborhood over the course of the week. It really says a lot about him that she trusted him so quickly. Robbie was also respectful of our home and handled an unexpected mess with professionalism and kindness. He clearly cares about the dogs he works with, and it shows. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our girls, and seeing how excited and comfortable both dogs are with him says everything. We can’t wait to have him back to visit them again!
Laura has been a wonderful help walking Auggie at lunch! She’s super communicative and reliable, which has provided peace of mind while we’re at work! Auggie is a rambunctious teenager and Laura makes sure he is taken care of when we’re away!! Highly recommend!
Sophia was great with my dog. He loves being out and gathering smells (he’s a hound). She took him on a long walk to his favorite smelling spots and wore him out which was great since I had to leave him home alone for an extended period that day. I highly recommend her and will use her again.
We are SO glad to have found Dylan to walk our dog, Freddy, daily during the work week! It is so comforting to know we have someone who is extremely reliable and great with dogs there every morning to make sure Freddy gets out to do his business. Dylan always sends a detailed recap of every walk with several pictures. It is such a joy to receive these updates and pictures during my work day. Can’t recommend Dylan enough for any and all of your pet care needs!
We feel so lucky we found Julia! She has taken such incredible care of our quirky hound/boxer mix for overnight stays and midday walks. Our pup can be a lot to handle sometimes and she made sure to ask all the right questions to understand how to best meet our dogs needs. We can’t recommend Julia enough, she will care for your pet like it’s her own!
Ashley’s the best! I’ve used her for pop in walks, and dog sitting in my apt. She’s very sweet and respectful, and communicates well. I have an anxious dog, who has grown to love her. She’s may go to choice and gives me great confidence that my dog is in good hands.
