“Madison has been a great regular walker for our French Bulldog Pepper! She’s on time, communicative and pays attention to what Pepper needs (such as a shorter walk on a hotter day, or a refill on her water bowl.) Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’m a loving cat mom to my 7-year-old calico Sooki. I grew up around animals and also volunteered at PAWS for about a year before moving out of the area. I have experience administering medication and inhalers. My childhood cat has severe asthma so I know the signs and symptoms to look out for when they need their inhaler and how to safely administer. Each animal is so unique in their own way and requires special attention and care. Understanding your pet and what motivates them can be the key to a great pet sitting experience. Tell me about your fur baby - their needs, their motivation, their quirks, and I will make sure to give them the best possible care. I currently work 3 - 12-hour shifts a week so I have plenty of time on my off days to hang out with and care for your pets. I am patient and understanding of all personality types - from an energetic puppy to a chill senior cat. I like to get to know an animal and their quirks, habits, etc in order to build trust.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, dependable approach and strong attention to detail. I’m patient and consistent with dogs of all ages and energy levels, including seniors and dogs who need extra reassurance or routine. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications, and maintaining feeding, walking, and play schedules. I prioritize safety in and outside the home and always provide clear updates and photos so pet parents feel confident their dog is well cared for I work fully remote, which gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits and adjust as needed to meet each pet’s schedule. Because of this flexibility, I can provide consistent, attentive care without rushing and can be responsive if plans or needs change. I provide care primarily in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks or playtime, litter or waste cleanup, and any medications. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust my care based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. I also prioritize safety in the home, respect the space as if it were my own, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel informed and at ease.

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.

Her communication is excellent and she sends me pictures during and after the walk. She is always on time for the walks as well. Highly recommend.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Merion Station

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 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 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 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 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 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.
