“I can’t say enough great things about Chelsea! This is my first experience using a dog walker and she made it incredibly seamless and easy. My dog is very tentative and nervous around new people but she welcomed Chelsea immediately. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl!”
“Courtney is the best! She was available to walk my dog last minute and even stopped by for a meet and greet. Great communication. She took him to the park, which he loves. I felt like he was in good hands especially with her background as a vet tech. Thank you!”
About: I have owned pets all my life and am an experienced pet owner, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, routines, energy level and age ranges. I’m comfortable with long walks, drop in visits, feeding, medication administration, playtime, enrichment and following detailed instructions. I am also attentive, reliable and communicative and will always treat your pet and home with care and respect.

As a pet owner I also understand communication and consistency matters, so I aim to be punctual, as communicative as possible and reliable. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow feeding instructions, routines, medication schedules, and activity preferences closely.

I treat clients homes with care and respect and will provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Paul and his fiancée do a great job with my Husky. My dog normally doesn’t enjoy other humans, and he loses his appetite when I travel. But Paul’s energy didn’t bring any of those concerns out.”
“Tracie was absolutely great with our boy gumbo. She went above and beyond and always made sure he was well taken care of. Tracie took the time to meet with us before hand to make sure she was up to speed and familiar with all of gumbo’s needs and she communicated everything to us. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Nancy was fabulous with our dog! She was dependable and respectful. Our dog enjoyed her time with Nancy so much that she was upset when she left. I would gladly book her services again!”

“I contacted Matthew for help with my energetic rottie, and he responded quickly and politely. Matthew sent lots of photos and pictures on his walk with Pablo which I loved. Pablo took to him soo fast! He looked soo happy and comfortable on their walk. It was nice to see all the photos along with updates about how he was doing. I think we will be using Matthew more wherever I get the chance. I would definitely recommend using him.”

About: I’ve cared for pets since age 11, and I truly enjoy giving them the love, attention, and gentle care they need and deserve every day. Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I’m in school, working part-time, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to help whenever needed.

About: Growing up, my family has always had pets whether they were dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, hermit crabs or fish. This inspired me to receive my Associates degree in Veterinary Technology in 2024 at Del Tech then sit for and pass the VTNE to become an LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician). I love animals dearly and would be happy to care for your pets during the day when their beloved ones are away from the house. I will care for your pet(s) as if they were my own! Whether we go for a walk together, run around the yard, give them a quick meal or just provide general companionship, I look forward to meeting your furbabies! I do have a full time job as a veterinary technician which leaves me unavailable every Monday and Friday but I do have availability other days of the week so be sure to send in a request so I can review it! I aim to be transparent and flexible with all customers about my availability. While at your home, I will watch your pets carefully to assure they are being safe while getting to spend time outside or just receiving some companionship. I will be sure to fill all food and water bowls (if applicable) before I leave to ensure your pets have access to basic needs.
About: I’ve been around and owned dogs my whole life and have gained an unconditional love for them. Your dog will be in great hands, that is a guarantee. Dogs will get the proper love and care that is needed. Your pooch will always be played with, fed, walked and pampered to the max with me. I get just as excited to see a dog as a dog would be to see me, so our energies together will make for one exciting day in the park, a run, or just even a leaisurely stroll around the neighborhood. My schedule is quite flexible and I will always try my best to accommodate to your and your pets needs. I really look forward to getting to work with the many dogs on here. I would love to take care of pets on a daily basis! Animals have always been a passion of mine. I absolutely love being around pets whether it be my own or someone else's! I take my dog, Ace, on daily walks in the morning and at night. We play in the backyard whenever the weather allows us to. Ace is a big part of my life and I give him the best life I can possible give him. We do everything together whenever I am home. Between eating meals together to taking naps together. I would give anyone else's pet the same attention and compassion I give my own dog because that is what pets deserve.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,268 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Port Penn. 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 Port Penn. 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 Port Penn.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Port Penn. On Rover:
- 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
