“Laura helped us out at the last minute and did a great job with our dog. Our dog doesn’t always feel comfortable with people right away but he gravitated to Laura’s warmth and friendliness!”
About: I have devoted my life to learning about animal behavior and enrichment, and I am always eager to use this knowledge to give any pet I care for the best time possible. I have cared for several species over the course of my life, including dogs, cats, fish, rodents, birds, reptiles and more. I am also someone who is very passionate about dog training using fun, reward-focused techniques to build a strong relationship and help work through any challenges a pup may have. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters, where I cared for both dogs and cats through cleaning their enclosures, walking them, playing with them and ensuring their needs were met. Overall, I have a very well-rounded knowledge of what it takes to go above and beyond for any pet I’m working with. I am currently in college and I plan for pet sitting to be my major professional focus during this time, so rest assured that your pet will be my top priority when it comes to my work schedule! Because of my intense love for animals, I am always happy and willing to fit any pet into my daily routine and I try to keep an open schedule to accommodate your care needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority in all situations. Whether I am in your home, going for a walk, or just checking in, all of my energy will go to making sure that your pet is having the best time possible in a kind, supportive environment. Every pet I look after is treated with the same amount of love and care that I give my own on a daily basis.
“Dante is the best! He’s our go-to walker. He’s great with our dogs, gets to know them, and is great at what he does. Thankful for his reliability and flexibility too.”
“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”
About: I always knew I wanted to work with animals, but it wasn’t until I started working at a kennel that I discovered my true calling: dog training. In September 2023, I made the decision to pursue this path seriously by attending National K-9 Dog Training School in Ohio, where I earned my certification as a professional dog trainer. Now, I’m proud to turn that passion into a career. I’m deeply committed to helping dogs and their owners build strong, respectful relationships, and I love sharing my training methods to make a positive impact on both ends of the leash. I’m trying to get my small business out into the world and taking small steps like this will help me! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I'm available for boarding and weekdays. My schedule with my part time job changes each week but I make sure to let my clients know! I will ALWAYS be talking to your fur baby! They become family once entering this home. I currently live in an apartment that has a designated area to bring your dog to have fun off leash!
About: I can take any type of animals!! Crazy, big, small, etc. I love em all. I’m very outgoing with them! And love playing and going on walks and talking to the animals!! My mom worked on Rover for a few years and I always helped out when her clients wanted her care but she wasn’t available. We had dogs stay at our house and it was just as fun for me as it was for them! My mom helped me realize this type of job and without a doubt I would love to do what she did! I am currently in an internship in Center City Monday-Friday. But once school starts I’ll be working there part time so my availability will open up more. I have no problem with stopping by in the before and after work to care you your dog/dogs! I am always free Friday into Sunday if you need a caretaker for your pet while you are away. I have them in my view at all times!! I have good communications with dogs and make sure their needs are met by their body language.
“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter for all my neighbors since I was little. I had a Dalmatian pitt bull growing up & have had roommates with dogs through college and out of! I have recently moved back to the area for work. I work a hybrid job with a flexible schedule so should be able to have plenty of time to take care of your pets at most hours of the day!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parkside
Karen was fantastic! She was always punctual, dependable, and so patient with my anxious senior dog. She took the time to earn his trust and never rushed him, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care and appreciated the updates along the way. I would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog walker.
Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine.

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 Parkside. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Parkside.

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 Parkside. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
