About: I was an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. Now I am a veterinary assistant in school to be a veterinary technician. I have kennel experience and I foster dogs from rescues and shelters. I begin my new job July 6th so I am open to board/house sit/train. I will be working 8am-5pm at the local animal shelter as the veterinary assistant. So I can also train dogs after work. I was the dog trainer at Petsmart I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.
About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds and can help with farm animals as well. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely
About: I am currently pursuing my X-ray tech degree, and while in school, I work at a local bakery that offers me the flexibility to help care for your pets.

I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation.

“Stephanie did a great job with our poodle pup. Would hire again. We went the daycare route for a while but we are likely to be back to this and she'll be on our short list.”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice.

“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 627 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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Philadelphia. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
