“Kristina is amazing! I needed her to come every day to walk Hank when I had a busy day. She was punctual, gave great updates, and overall just so reliable and made me feel so much better during a long work week. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have been dog sitting for the past 6 years and I make sure to go on multiple walks a day, overnight sitting and accommodating dogs overnight at my house. I make certain to provide the needed care when having guest pets overnight while still providing a fun environment for them! I am always on time with Providing meals to the pets and to take them on walks at the same time, since scheduling is important. It is also important to me To spend quality time with the pet so they receive the attention they need by taking them on walks, playing different activities with them and more. My qualities include patience with animals, loving them and the time spent together with them. Most importantly, being the best caretaker I can be!
About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I cared for one during my childhood for about five years. Ever since then, I’ve always dreamed of having a dog again, but due to life circumstances, I haven’t been able to. That hasn’t stopped me from staying close to dogs, though! Many of my friends have dogs, and I’ve spent a lot of time walking and playing with them. In my free time, I genuinely enjoy watching dog training and behavior videos. I’m always learning and fascinated by how to communicate better with them. I may not have decades of hands-on experience, but I offer something just as important: patience, gentleness, and genuine love. I’d be honored to care for your dog with the same attention and heart as if they were my own and I’m always eager to learn and grow with each furry friend I meet. I’m usually home on weekends, so I’m available for same day bookings on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I work from home most days—except Mondays and Wednesdays—so I’m generally flexible on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. For weekday bookings, I’d really appreciate a day or two of notice so I can plan ahead and give your pet my full attention! I currently live in a pet-free home, so I’m not able to board pets at my place, butI’m happy to come to your home to care for your pet where they feel most comfortable. I can provide drop-in visits to feed, play with, and check on your pets, or take dogs for walks and return them safely home. I focus on making pets feel secure and loved by following their routines, giving them gentle attention, and keeping communication open with you at all times.
About: I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs of all sizes and personalities! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, giving me a lifetime of experience caring for them. I also have 5 years of experience volunteering at Lucky Dog Refuge, an animal shelter, where I regularly walked and cared for dogs, including many who were highly reactive. This experience helped me become very comfortable reading body language, understanding their individual needs, and adjusting how I care for them based on their comfort and energy level. I also spend a lot of time walking around West Philly and Center City, and live right by the Schuylkill River Trail, which is a great area for safe long walks. I’m currently offering an introductory rate for new clients as I’m getting started on Rover, while bringing years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and provide them with the same patience, attention, and care I have given my own! I’m a college student, so my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to work around you and your dog’s needs! I’m available for both dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, with the most flexibility on weekends. Hours Available: Monday: 1–2:30 PM Tuesday: 2–5 PM Wednesday: 1–2:30 PM Thursday: 2–5 PM Friday: 1–5 PM Saturday: All day Sunday: All day For walks, I’ll always keep your dog securely leashed and be mindful of their surroundings, energy level, and body language. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including reactive dogs from my shelter volunteer experience. During drop in visits, I’ll make sure your dog has everything they need, including fresh water, food, bathroom breaks, exercise, and tons of attention. I’ll also be respectful of your home and make sure doors and gates are securely closed before leaving. I’m happy to send updates and pics during visits so you know how your dog is doing!
“Punctual, polite and pleasant are all words that describe Megha’s visits. She was careful and considerate in handling my young and rambunctious puppy. Overall I would highly recommend Meghan to walk your dog!”
“Sarah is fantastic! Our scared-of-everything rescue pup completely trusts her and so do we. She walks our dog multiple times a week and always sends us photos and updates about how he did in the walk if he did his business etc. Sarah’s trustworthiness allows us to focus on work in the mid-day hours without guilt or concern about our pup. She works on his training with skills with him (looking to her for a treat/reassurance when scared). We have recommended her to several friends for day time walks and extended stays. She’s the best!”
“Brian was incredibly thoughtful and flexible with my dog who's skittish around new people. Went above and beyond thinking through ways that we could help her be comfortable. Was also very flexible with my schedule that ended up being a little crazy.”
“Victoria thank you so much for being a life saver last minute! You’ve been great with communication and so understanding! Molly is looking forward to more walks from you!:)”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who treats every pet like my own. Over the past three years I’ve cared for my own cats, so I know the little things that keep them happy and comfortable, whether that’s sticking to feeding routines, keeping up with playtime, or giving plenty of attention and cuddles. I specialize in cats and smaller dogs, and I’ll make sure yours feels safe and well looked after while you’re away. Some pets want a calm companion, some need someone to keep their schedule on track, and some just want extra love. Whatever yours is like, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’d love to say hello and take good care of your furry family member! I am currently working part-time out in Ardmore, but I live in the city! My daily routine with my cats are that I come back home and I give them love and attention and then give them any treats for being great! I care for my cats by giving them belly rubs all over and then napping with them as needed because they love my attention! For your pets, I am always willing to adapt and do what I can to show them my love!
“Tia came through for me at the last minute—the NIGHT before my trip—without ever having met me or my dog, Amara. She stepped in and made sure Amara was well cared for and loved the entire weekend. Amara had some adjustment issues and even got sick at one point, but Tia went above and beyond. Not only did she clean up after her, but she also made sure Amara felt better and was comfortable before leaving. She truly went the extra mile, and I can’t thank her enough. I was nervous about leaving Amara for the weekend, but knowing she was in great hands gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Tia to anyone—thank you again!”
About: As a fellow Rover pet parent, I know finding trusted care is crucial. Having both cats and dogs at home, I understand each species needs unique love and attention.

I can care for your furry friend In the morning, during lunch, or after work. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I can provide care after 6 PM. I will make sure to read and follow all instructions you provide. I’m an animal lover who will care for your pets like they’re my own!

Ana is always so great with my babies! I appreciate that she takes them on full 30 minute walks, they love that. And she’s always helpful with any little things the doggies may need. She’s great, I’ve rebooked her multiple times and will probably continue for as long as I can! 10/10 recommend
Danielle is amazing with my dog (and kitties), reliable, and a great caretaker. My dog Molly boarded with her, and now Danielle takes her for walks every week while I’m at work. Every experience has been amazing for months now. She always sends updates, pictures, and it is such a relief to know that my dog is in such good hands and made a new friend. She is so excited for her walks with Danielle. HIGHLY recommend :)
Erin is awesome with my dog and cats! My pets love her and she handles them great. I have a large dog so I am cautious with new walkers and sitters, but Erin kept me worry free. She communicates great so I never have any question about how everyone is doing while I’m away.

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 Rittenhouse. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Rittenhouse after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 Rittenhouse. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
