About: I have been a lifelong dog owner, and for over ten years, I’ve had the pleasure of working at various dog care facilities. I also have hands-on experience caring for a variety of other pets, including cats, lizards, and small rodents. Along with making sure your pets are well cared for and safe, I truly enjoy giving them plenty of affection and attention. My background includes raising and caring for dogs from newborn puppies onward. While my pet first aid and CPR certification has lapsed, I remain very knowledgeable in both areas. I have a strong understanding of different dog breeds, behaviors, and personalities, as well as care for cats and exotic pets. I’m happy to provide pet-sitting services and can share references if you’d like. While working at dog daycare facilities, I served as a shift supervisor, ensuring all dogs received excellent care from every staff member, including myself. As a supervisor, I was also trusted to administer medications (except injections) as needed. I am an online college student with excellent day-to-day flexibility. I bring my coursework with me, meaning your pets will have attentive, loving company for most of the day! - Open Availability: Most days of the week for full-time companionship. - Regular Commitments: Away every Wednesday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. - In September, my regular commitment extends to Monday thru Wednesday for September ONLY! - Note: I don't drive, but I have a reliable, 24/7 family network for all pet transport and emergencies.

“Dependable and very responsive! We would use Meghan again and heartbeat! We used to her on vacation, and felt comfortable, knowing that our dog had a good Walker!”
About: I have taken care of cats my whole life and had a beautiful Black Lab who lived to 13 years old. My pets have all needed senior care, including special diets, medication, and issues with waste elimination as they got older. I will take good care of your fur babies! I am a school teacher, home in the late afternoon. I am off over the summer so I can house sit or take care of your pets any time over the summer. I will care for pets in your home. I have my own pets and can not house any other animal here. However, I am willing to come to your home, walk your pets, and feed them, play with them, take your dog to the park, or house sit. Let me know what you need!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 18 years. I currently have two dogs that run my household. I’ll treat your pups like they’re my own. I work from home 4 days a week, so if your pup is here with me, they’ll never be lonely. They have access to my fenced in yard at any time. I have two dogs that are very friendly and a large fenced in yard with a 4 foot fence. I’m happy to stick to any routine that your dog is used to.
“Our dog loves the time he spends with Michaela. She happily accommodates our requests to extend each visit to allow time for play and a feeding on top of a walk. She sends photos and updates which puts us at ease. Michaela is flexible and responds quickly - both of which we appreciate so much when planning care for our dog! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Patrick did an awesome job with our pups, Isabella and Chance, today on their walk! They loved him so much they didn't want him to leave. Will definitely be booking again after the holidays. Thank you Patrick!”
“Highly recommend Yaqin. She's fantastic with my doggos! She communicates well and kept me updated with photos and notes on how the walk went. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. Couldn't ask for a more reliable, trustworthy dog walker!”
About: I have had a cat for most of the first half of my life. For the last 8 years I have sat for a large 55 pound American Staffordshire Terrier Pit mix. For the last year I have been a volunteer at our local animal shelter walking shelter dogs and socializing kittens and cats. I am a semi-retired teacher so I have plenty of time during the week and on Saturdays. I tutor online from my home about 10-15 hours per week. I live alone in a second floor apartment. I provide plenty of love, afffection, and attention as I love anlmals. I have no children or pets so I am available for them as much as needed.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud owner of my cat, Bubba, who has taught me a lot about patience, routine, and the small things that make pets feel safe. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs and cats for years: feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and just being a calm presence while they’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a long walk or your cat just wants company, I’ll treat them like my own. I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care into most parts of my day. I’m available for morning and evening walks during the week, drop-in visits midday, and longer stays on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance and stick to the routine you set for your pet: consistency matters, especially for younger or older animals. I offer drop-in visits and walks at your home, so your pet stays in the environment they know best. I’ll follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secured, and send photo updates during each visit. I live with my cat Bubba in a calm, smoke-free home, so I’m comfortable around animals who are shy or take time to warm up. If anything seems off, appetite, behavior, or health, I’ll reach out right away.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Pennington is $21
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pennington
Abigail was absolutely wonderful! She arrived exactly as discussed and immediately gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. I especially appreciated that she has experience with Chihuahuas and understands their little quirks and specific needs. She knew that Chihuahuas typically aren’t fans of the rain, so she actually planned ahead and made sure to come before the rain started so he could get his walk in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us! She even went above and beyond by bringing in our Amazon packages that were delivered while we were away. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference. Abigail is reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️
I love that Michelle took the time to come to my house and meet me and Cali days before our scheduled walk. She made me feel comfortable and we discussed how to best care for Cali. After Cali's walk I got an update about how it went and pictures. I'm excited to continue working with Michelle for all my future walks!

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 Pennington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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.

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.
