“Megan has been great so far! She’s prompt, friendly, and my puppy, Bella, seemed comfortable with her right away. Bella came home happily tired, which was exactly what I hoped for. I also appreciate Megan’s help during the busy holiday season.”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life, as I grew up in a pet-loving household where we cared for everything from hamsters and turtles to multiple dogs, guinea pigs, ferrets, and even fish. I’ve also volunteered both formally and informally with local SPCA chapters and animal shelters from a young age, helping to walk, feed, and care for dogs of a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have hands on experience with dogs who need extra attention and medical care. I've raised two dogs from puppyhood—my current dog, Sophia, and a pit bull my family had previously—and have done everything from potty training to leash work and daily routines. Sophia is diabetic and blind, so I’m no stranger to giving insulin shots, monitoring glucose levels, and understanding how to be patient and calm with pets who have special needs or anxiety. Whether it's caring for seniors, puppies, or pets with health conditions, I always aim to treat them like family because that’s exactly what they are. I am currently on break from school at the University of Delaware, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Preferably, I am available after 10:00 AM and before 8:00 PM. For overnights, I will stay with your pet for 12 hours (start/end depends on animals schedule) and do one drop in during the mid day. Reach out to me for additional care options (constant care, additional visits, etc.)! When I care for pets through walks or drop-in visits, I approach each home and animal with respect, patience, and awareness. I know every pet has their own personality, boundaries, and needs, so I'll never assume anything upon first meeting. I take time to observe their behavior, let them come to me at their own pace, and make sure we’re both comfortable before jumping into getting close and personal. This also helps me gauge what kind of interaction they’re ready for and to prioritize safety—for your pet and for myself—by staying alert to their body language, keeping a calm energy, and never rushing trust. I will follow any specific instructions you give closely, especially if your pet has particular sensitivities or routines. I also take practical steps on walks, like avoiding overly stimulating routes or unknown dogs, and I’m always careful with things like leashing, doors, or feeding to avoid stress or accidents. I recently earned a certificate from the American Red Cross in Pet CPR and First Aid, so I am prepared even for the worst situations (which I hope I never will have to be 😅).
“Cassandra was incredible. We used her 2x a day for a week, and she was extremely reliable, always early, and always left pics & reports! She was awesome and we will certainly look to her first if we ever use Rover again. Can’t recommend Cassandra enough!”
“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”
“Joseph has been walking our Great Dane for months now (which is a big deal as she grows). He is consistent, punctual, loving and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was about 16 years old. I have plenty of experience with animals of all different shapes and sizes. I’m a ER nurse and I love to help others and will do everything in my power to make sure that your pet is in the best hands possible! Last but not least, I am also open to watching other furry friends such as bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and so forth! I’m a nurse and I have the ability to make my own schedule so essentially, you can tell me what days you need and I’ll can create my work schedule around that! I will be sure to always keep your pet on a leash when letting them use the bathroom outside. I currently have a mini aussiedoodle puppy at home. Once again, I care for cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, you name it!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years and trained our beautiful lab from six months old by attending regular sessions which I really enjoyed. I am used to administering medications if needed and would love to look after your fur baby! I’m a stay at home Mom of two so while the children are at school mon- fri I am available & also available on weekends! I look forward to feeding, playing and giving your fur baby lots of fuss as well as walks. I am happy to help with crate training too if needed.
About: I grew up with dogs and have had cats as an adult. I love dogs but I travel too much to have my own, so pet sitting is the next best thing. I work from home and have good control over my schedule. I already take walk breaks during the day (including 45 min - 1 hour at lunchtime) and have a large fenced yard. I give lots of attention and cuddles to any dogs and cats in my care, and ensure plenty of playtime, running, and walks. Dogs and cats are welcome in my workspace while I’m working, and on the furniture throughout the house.
“Heather is great with my pup and she’s super easy to work with! I ran into a couple issues over the week and she was so accommodating and caring about my dogs well being. I highly recommend Heather for all your pups needs.”
About: I provide loving, personalized care for all pets. I’m experienced caring for puppies and senior pets, including giving medication and extra support. Your pet will feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure to spend quality time feeding, walking, playing, and monitoring each pet’s health every day. I also keep a consistent schedule to help pets feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I update owners with reports and adjust care as needed to meet each pet’s unique needs. At my home, where I live in an apartment with my friendly dog, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable space for pets to relax and play. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and stress-free. For clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintaining their pet’s usual schedule and environment to minimize disruption. In both settings, I provide lots of attention, affection, and monitor their health to ensure they’re feeling their best.
“Nick is fantastic! I have a 9 week old puppy and this has been my first experience with a dog walker. Nick has made it so easy and pleasant! He is reliable, flexible with times he can visit, and sends updates/pictures after walks. Overall, highly recommend him!”
About: Being a pet owner (of all types) most of my adult life has blessed me in ways I can't even put into words. I have looked after 8 week old puppies as well as cared for the elderly. It would be my honor to look after and care for your four-legged family members in the same way I would want my "kiddos" to be looked after. I will always put them first and I will ensure that they receive the same love and affection that they would receive from you during every visit/stay. I love to send my clients pictures during those days/nights that they are away, and give them that assurance that their pet is in good hands and is being well cared for.
About: I was an animal control officer in New Jersey and I worked at the shelter in Philadelphia for 3 years. I have done pet sitting jobs for about 7 years. I currently foster kittens and have saved the lives of around 100 cats. I’m extremely knowledge about cat and dog behavior and can also give medications. Rest assured, your fur babies will be in the best of hands with me. 🤲🏼🐾💕 I have two dogs and four rescue cats of my own. 🐶🐱 I am currently working full time until the end of the July and plan to take a month or two off. I am very flexible and can come watch/visit your pets during any time of the day. I can easily crate any dog and walk on all kinds of leashes/leads. I can also give a variety of medications. I’m happy to help your puppy with some training as well.

Rhiannon P.
“Rhiannon is excellent with all animals, especially dogs. She is very kind, patient and responsible with them. I have personally witnessed this as she takes care of her own dog who is blind with diabetes. She is so loving, gives her dog a lot of attention, empathizes with the dog being blind and has infinite patience. She is very responsible for her dog taking her to the vet and making sure she gets her insulin twice a day. Rhiannon has a way with dogs that I have never seen. They love her and are automatically attracted to her. I have used her to take care of my own dogs. They love her and everything went perfectly!”

Pennyhill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jeannette was lovely! She was easy to communicate with and interacted with my pups very well. I have an older dog and a younger dog with very different energy and Jeannette was great with both. She was able to do a meet and greet and walk with a pretty short turn around as another walker had cancelled on me. I would absolutely recommend Jeannette to other pet parents!
