About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!

I never have to worry when Sabrina is taking care of my pups. She watches out for them as if they were her own and always keeps me up to date while I’m away. Hop and Zoey are very comfortable with Sabrina and are always happy to see her. Thanks again for the great care!

About: My dogs are like family and temporarily I would love for some others to be apart of ours as well! My dogs have a routine, walk play walk play. Tons of enrichment, tricks and treats Weekends I can be available anytime. Weekdays it would need to be more walks etc. but I promise they will still get the best care I do not have a fenced yard so at my home it would be walks. With my two little ones (10lb and 20lb) these walks are about 30 minutes each but with bigger dogs it would definitely be longer. At your home I’m willing to use the fenced in yard or walks as well! Each visit regardless of anything, will also be accompanied by fresh water, food if you wish to be placed, snuggles, and lots of patting I’m sure of it!

About: ***Please note that Rover takes 20% of all services*** I’ve been caring for animals since I was five, and becoming a veterinarian has been a lifelong dream of mine. I’ve gained hands-on experience with many different animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, turtles, fish, horses, and livestock. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adults, and seniors, following detailed instructions, administering medications, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. I recently moved to Fort Drum, NY to live with my husband, and we have our own dog, Bailey. I truly love animals and treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide a safe, fun, loving environment where both pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to each day. Because I recently moved back to Florida with Bailey, while Yogi hangs back with his dad. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I treat every pet like family and make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs and routines. I offer dependable and caring attention tailored to each pet’s unique needs and the service I’m providing. When I’m house sitting or providing overnight care, I make sure to stay in the client’s home to help their pets feel right at home. I stick to their regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, and give them lots of love and company. Plus, I keep the home tidy and follow any special instructions the client gives me. For drop-in visits, I stop by to feed pets, refresh water, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, clean up as needed, and spend time playing or checking on their overall well-being. For dog walking, I make sure each dog gets safe, engaging exercise suited to their energy level, while also reinforcing good leash behavior and ensuring they’re comfortable and cared for. In my personal life, I also help care for dogs and livestock at home, and I stay involved with my own dogs by checking in regularly and making sure they have everything they need. I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and on a consistent routine.

About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs. Your member of the family would be treated very well and we are able to care for dogs that require special attention. Your dog would not go more than 2-4 hours without someone supervising them. I would make sure your animal is safe. The world class care your fur baby would get would be unmatched. My doggies are literally spoiled but well behaved. They are sweet so there will be plenty of attention and exercise for your loved one. ❤️❤️❤️

About: I have a 13 year old shitzu yorkie who has been with me since I was 9 and I trained him myself. I have a roomy place with lots of places for individual areas. I currently am taking a break from work and have plenty of time to care for your furry friend as needed! Full time availability and plants of room in my schedule for any hour care. I have a dog who can keep your furry friend company but have enough room to separate them if your dog or cat likes their own space!

About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.

About: Hello! I’m so glad you are here! My name is Sharee. I am 23 and I just moved here to the Watertown area from Sarasota, FL; which is where I’m from. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember since I grew up with them. I even have 2 dogs of my own. Ive taken time out of my own to research and learn how to give them the best life and how to read their expressions so I know what to look out for. If you give me the chance to babysit your doggy I will love them as my own❤️ Pet care easily fits in my routine considering I already have 2 pups that I take care of daily. I’m home majority of the time as well so I can give them attention and care for their needs. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog park that is a 3 minute walk from my home. If I ever needed to crate your pup I have a decent size crate for them. But that’s if I ever have to or you ask me to, I prefer to let the dogs have access to the house for them to play or settle down when I’m home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Philadelphia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Philadelphia on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 111 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Philadelphia. 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 Philadelphia. 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 Philadelphia.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
