“Colette was an amazing dog walker, my dogs absolutely loved her and we will definitely miss her. She was communicative, prompt, and so sweet with our girls. They got to know her car and would get so excited when they saw it coming down our street!”
“Christel is extremely communicative and responsive....but most importantly, our dog genuinely enjoys his walks with her. She does a thorough job walking him around the neighborhood, allowing plenty of time for sniffing.....AND she has the patience to deal with our cranky old dog when he just doesn't wanna go outside. She's successfully lured him downstairs and coaxed him into his much needed walks several times. She is our regular walker for a reason!! Highly recommend.”
“Sara was amazing! Our pup can be a little nervous but she kind and patient so Max took to her right away! Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their furbabies watched!”
“Dion was excellent! She was caring, she was thrilled to meet our dog, Kohana, she was punctual and highly responsible. She asked all the right questions and went above and beyond in every respect. We would recommend her highly! We will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Danielle is great! Very responsive to messages and very accommodating to our needs, even with last minute changes due to bad weather or scheduling issues.”
About: I was a dog foster for a few months before adopting my current dog. I have experience with taking care of both small and large dogs for many years. My dog is very mild tempered and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. He is neutered. We have access to go on daily walks along the river, around the neighborhood and at the park. I am a student, about to take 4 weeks off from school and would like to take advantage of my free time. I love dogs and have a great environment to dog sit, and also have the time to take them on long walks/play dates. I live in an apartment and the complex has two fenced dog parks. I have one dog who is very calm and mild tempered, he gets along well with both males and females, big or small. If your dog needs to be crated I also have a crate if necessary. They are allowed to lounge on the couch too.
“Shawna is so amazing and patient with my very shy dog. He was in love with her after only meeting her twice. I was surprised how quick she got him to warm up. She has been extremely reliably over the past 3 months of walking Apollo, and had never missed a day. She is a total lifesaver for me and my dog. I feel very fortunate to have come across her here on Rover!”
“Such wonderful attention to detail. My dog absolutely loved Yasemin and she was treated with the utmost care and gentleness. Yasemin is very communicative and rapid with her responses as well. I would recommend Yasemin to anyone.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have taken care of many pets throughout my life. I love taking dogs out for long walks, I am patient and reliable, with older pets and can care for energetic puppies. I am currently a graduate student at Villanova working part-time. I only have classes once a week right now and my part-time has not started yet. I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet(s)! When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I always follow the pet’s routine exactly as instructed — from feeding and walk times to special medications. I treat every home with care and cleanliness, making sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I give frequent updates with photos so owners feel reassured, and I’m happy to communicate through text or calls depending on your preference. Whether it’s locking up securely, cleaning up messes, or ensuring a fun experience for your pet, I make sure your pet — and your home — is in great hands while you're away.
About: I have experience from young dogs to old cats. I believe that compassion and patience are the key to quality care for the important animals in your lives I am currently a student at Ithaca college and I am a recruit for the women's varsity rowing team. Pet care fits into my schedule whenever a pet parent may need help. My class and practice schedule does provide some time constraints but I am able to work with the pet parents to make sure their pets are properly taken care of. Before moving into college I had given my two cats full time care for their daily, medical, and emotional needs. I had always been at their attention due to some of the issues my own pets have which provides me insight into what a pet may be going through and allowing me to act quickly when something may be happening. Because I am in college my cats care is now in my parents hands which provides no restraints to how I can care for other peoples pets.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life and family. I think they have as much personality and love as people do. I also have adopted a wonderful cat. (or he adopted me). I've always loved walking and playing with dogs, and getting to know their language. I work with all ages, and am very patient with special needs. Pets in my care are treated like family. We are all animal lovers here and enjoy their personalities. Someone is always home to keep our furry friends company. I like to go to dog parks, so high energy pups can get some exercise. But a walk around the neighborhood is our typical routine. We usually take walks, or bathroom breaks every 4 hours, or as needed. I have a closed balcony and an open yard. There is always plenty of drinking water and food is kept it if reach from table surfers. I like to keep my furry friends close. They usually lay at my feet or follow me around while I work at home. We may also go for rides to the park or out with the family. My main concern is safety and a loving environment.

About: I grew up with a very active Pomeranian and have taken care of family friends' dogs as well. I also grew up with five cats and love interacting with all animals! Im currently working part time as a teacher, and would love to walk and play with your pets in the morning on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday! I am respectful of others' homes and will be extra careful with doors and locks to keep your pets and home safe when I visit.
“Shawna has been absolutely amazing with Tully! From the first meeting, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. She is reliable, professional, and always goes the extra mile to make sure our pup is happy and well cared for. Shawna sends detailed updates and photos during every walk, which gives us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with the care Shawna provides and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Shawna, for treating our pup like your own!”

“Joshua was excellent! He met us on the Wharton campus when we needed a dog sitter for a 4-hour class, and he took our puppy all over and then was willing to drop him at not the pickup! He braved thunderstorms and was so flexible to make sure that Puppy McPupperson had an excellent and exhausting afternoon!”
