I can’t recommend her enough!!!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m used to having a busy schedule and balancing school, work, and other commitments, so I take my responsibilities seriously and make sure I follow through. I’m also very active and would love to keep your dog moving with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! Most importantly, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I am working part time so I am available a lot of hours in the week. I am available most mornings and nights for visits! I care for pets by treating them like part of the family while making sure I follow their normal routines as closely as possible\. I’ll follow any feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles\. In your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and leave everything just as I found it\. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!

About: I love animals, basically all animals! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and feel that I know the ins and outs of the "pet world". I may have favorite breeds, but I love them all, both big and small- I love learning about new breeds, so bring it on! I have worked with pitties doodles, a jackchi, and Goldens so far from Rover! I would love to spend time outside, playing, relaxing, and exploring with your dog (and am happy to care for cats if you have those, too!). I am currently unemployed and looking for some part time gigs (like dog walking) to fill my days. I am very open during the weekdays in Roxborough. I will treat your pets and your home just like they are my own. Keeping things clean and tidy is a very easy ask for me.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labradoodles, and today my family has four dogs: Walter, a dachshund, Alvin, a Scottish terrier, and Husky and Frosty, two Siberian huskies. Caring for such different breeds has taught me that every dog needs something different. Huskies need a lot of exercise and a watchful eye, since they are known escape artists. Terriers can be stubborn and need patience and consistency. Dachshunds need gentle handling to protect their backs. I’m comfortable with high-energy big dogs and small dogs alike, and I pay attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and quirks. I'm also an avid runner so I'm able to adjust to faster-paced walks/jogs if need be. I don’t have class on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and I’m also free on weekends, so I’m fully available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I have a car, so getting to your home is easy. I want your dog to feel just as happy and comfortable with me as they do with you. I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure every walk is fun and safe. Having two huskies at home, I know how sneaky some dogs can be about slipping out a door, so I’m always careful about that. I’ll treat your home like my own and send you photos after each visit so you can see how much fun your pup is having. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away.

About: Dogs have always been my favorite animals when it comes to having fun and forming connections filled with unconditional love, especially when it comes to more complicated dogs that need extra attention and care. I trained my previous dog, a Husky mix, from the time he was just 6 weeks old. I taught him to follow me closely and stay near me without a leash, as well as commands like sit, stay, and give paw. He also learned to use a potty pad during rainy or messy weather. I've received many compliments on how well-behaved he is for a young pup at just 9 months old and for his breed. I take him to dog parks and other parks where he can run around and get plenty of exercise. I currently work full-time at a restaurant in Center City from Friday to Monday. I keep my days open for dog sitting and other activities from Tuesday to Thursday. I personally prefer to provide services at the client’s home, ensuring both the dog and the owner are satisfied. I dedicate my attention and patience to entertaining the dogs, allowing them to engage in activities that bring them joy while also providing necessary boundaries, trust, and safety. This approach helps build a strong connection between us.

About: Hello, my name is Kate. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life and have been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for years. I am currently available part time in the evenings and on weekends. I have experience with walking, playing a variety of games to run off some extra energy, going on runs, and just keeping your pet company while you are away! I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes and love getting to know the personality of each dog! I also cat sit, I have experience with young cats up to senior cats. Currently, I am available in the evenings after work at 5:30pm and on weekends for walking or drop in visits. I can be flexible on timing if morning walks are needed as some days I work from home. In client’s homes, I will follow the same procedures you have in place to ensure your pet is safe. If you have any specific requests, I will follow them accordingly.

About: I've been taking care of neighbor's cats and dogs since childhood, including overnight house sitting. I've had cats for most my life and have worked with big and small dogs, young and old, including dogs that need a lot of exercise. I have experience taking care of other domestic mammals like rabbits, chinchillas, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and hedgehogs, as well as exotic birds and reptiles. I'm a big animal over; I majored and worked in wildlife conservation, and am passionate about domestic and wild animals. I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to stay home a lot and be with the pets. I have a car to get to people's homes easily for daytime checkins/walks. Depends on the client's specific needs but usually for housesitting I stay at the house and am home often, so I'm able to give the pets attention and care, and let them out for bathroom breaks and walks regularly as needed. I can do basic household stuff like take out trash, clean up after pets, water plants, whatever is needed.

Alexis is absolutely wonderful! 🐾 She is patient, dependable, diligent, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my stubborn, opinionated corgi inu gets the best possible walks. And trust me, he definitely has his own ideas about how things should go! 😂 She takes the time to work with his unique personality, lets him enjoy his adventures, and handles his strong-willed nature with care and patience. Finding someone you can trust with your four-legged family member is so important, and Alexis has been fantastic. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog walker!🐶❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Merion Station is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 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.

As of October 2026, there are 9,403 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Merion Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 your Merion Station. 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 , 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 Merion Station 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merion Station. 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 .

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.
