About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 15 years, including my own, neighbors, and friends. I am experienced in dog walking, overnight and day time pet sitting, etc. I live walking distance to Rittenhouse Square and the Schuylkill River trail/dog park. “Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.” I have a flexible work schedule and can be available as needed. I am available to dog walk during the day or care for your pet as needed! I am happy to follow the lead of the owners preferences when it comes to giving treats, stimulating activities, frequency of walks, amount of playtime, etc.
“Helen is the best! She is knowledgeable, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. She provides great updates on walks, and is always responsive and easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable knowing Hoagie is in her care. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“I’m glad that I found Sabin! Rocco is high energy dog and requires lot of exercise. Sabin is just perfect for Rocco, he knows how to handle Rocco and takes him for long walks. At end of the day all I know my fur-baby is happy being around Sabin and he gets to funtime🐶 If you have large breed and bully dog, just call Sabin!”
About: I’ve been able to care for dogs (both young and old) for extended periods of time and have always been able to ensure their safety and comfort This is my full-time job for now, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to the needs of you and your adorable dogs :) I’m very flexible when it comes to a dog’s needs. If they have specific routines that need to be followed or medications taken at a certain time, I can make sure those expectations are met
“We had a great time meeting Greg for our first meet and greet/walk. He even made Pinto feel at ease - and that’s a tough sell. We are looking forward to booking future walks and pet sitting with Greg.”
“Natalie is so great with our pittie mix! She’s attentive, punctual, and kind. Would absolutely recommend Natalie for dog-walking/dog-sitting services :)”
“Brenna was great. Usually a little tentative with new people, it only took one time walking together before Scout warmed up to Brenna and really looked forward to their walks together.”
About: I grew up having an energetic beagle so I’m used to matching a dog’s high energy level. I now usually dog/housesit for family friends and volunteer to walk the dogs from Doggiestyles pet store. Just graduated from Drexel University so I have a lot of time throughout the summer, especially during day hours. Very flexible to match client’s schedule I usually follow the requests of the client and will check in the dogs every now and then to make sure they’re okay. I would check to make sure they’re not doing anything they’re not supposed to, but also keep them entertained if they seem bored
“Katrina and her partner were amazing with my dog Theo, who can be anxious on walks with new people. I could tell he was at ease and enjoyed his outings. They were very communicative and took adorable photos of him. We will definitely book again!”
“Kristina was communicative and great with my dog! She took him on a long walk and gave me lots of updates and pictures, highly dependable and great communication!”
“Brittany has been a lifesaver walking my 75lb hippo-headed put bull while I’m at work. She’s so flexible and communicative! Highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi! I’m Cailey - pet sitter, dog walker, and lifelong animal lover. 🐶🐱 I’ve been caring for pets professionally since 2014 when I started pet sitting for friends and family, I’ve also worked in training & daycare, managed a pet supply boutique, fostered puppies and kittens, volunteered at shelters, and taken training/behavior classes. When your pets are with me, expect full attention, belly rubs, playtime, and lots of snuggles. My schedule is pretty flexible! • Drop-in Visits - If you’ve got a whole pack at home, I’m happy to work out a custom rate that’s fair for you. • I can also help with things like bringing in packages or watering plants. I treat every pet like they’re my own. You’ll always know what to expect, and your fur family will feel completely cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Boarding & Daycare: I live in a studio apartment with my dog Poppy, so I am only able to accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs.
“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: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have helped my family take care of their pets since I was young. I recently lost my childhood dog and miss the companionship. I have a 1 year old cat, Violet, who I’ve been raising since she was just a few weeks old. I now work from home most days and have a very flexible job, so I am looking to spend my free time caring for animals! I live in an apartment with my kitten Violet. We do not have an outdoor space but I live across the street from a dog park and large walking path
“Nicole was very communicative about scheduling and was great with Izzy! I felt comfortable leaving him in her care for walks, even though he can be quite the handful. Thank you so much Nicole!!”

Matthew is a courteous and conscientious dog walker. He truly works to put the human and the dog at ease on his walks. My pup can be a handful but Matthew walks him with ease and sincerely spends time with him during their walks together. He’s at the top of my list of dog walkers.
Highly recommend and will definitely rebook! I just moved to a new place and needed some help with Abby while I was at work. So much was new for Abby (new house, new walker) but Chelsea had no issues, and clearly made Abby comfy and happy. Refilled her water water time, gave her her frozen kong and gave me great updates. Thanks Chelsea!!
Jay did such a great job taking care of my fur babies, Roscoe and Millie! 🐾❤️ The Rover cards were full of thoughtful details and, of course, the cutest pictures of my babies. It was so nice getting those updates and seeing how happy and well cared for they were. Jay also asked thoughtful questions that helped clarify instructions and made me feel confident that Roscoe and Millie were in great hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Jay gave them. I’m definitely having Jay care for them again! Thank you so much! 🐶🐶💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rittenhouse 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 9,334 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rittenhouse. 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 Rittenhouse. 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 Rittenhouse.

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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
