“Ari is such a lifesaver, life events that don’t allow for pet travel occur without warning and Ari took the best care of my puppy with out hesitation wheni was called away on duty. She is prompt, communicative absolutely the overall best!!”
“Maddy was so wonderful while walking my dog. We were completely unavailable during the requested time, and Maddy was able to make sure all of my dog’s needs were met! There are so many great photos of the walk, and Maddy made sure to keep my dog safe”
About: My experience is primarily with dogs. My family’s dog lived to be 16 who developed blindness and needed many oral and topical medications. I have dog sat for neighborhood families, family members, and friends with dogs of all shapes and sizes and energy levels. I also lived with and helped care for a roommates cat for part of college. I am a nurse rotating between day and night shift so my schedule varies but allows for flexibility! I love to go on walks so I would love for your pet to join my routine! I will ensure your pet is comfortable and happy in its surroundings through establishing clear and consistent communication with you to better understand their needs.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different kinds of animals since I was a teenager. I worked at a zoo in England for a summer when I was a bit younger and from then, I grew a genuine passion for animals. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to provide lots of attention to your dog. I also walk routinely in the morning, evening, and anytime in between. I do not have any pets that live with me so it will just be myself and your dog. I will usually only have 1 dog at a time unless the dogs already know each other or live together.
“Gregory accepted a last minute booking to walk our dog and ended up walking her twice, feeding her dinner and giving her medicine. She was a happy dog when we came home and his pictures and communication were great. Can’t wait to have him walk our dog more regularly!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, as far back as my grandma's farm cats! For the past five years, I have had two cats of my own :) One of my cats was previously feral and found by my fiance; as such, I have plenty of experience building trust and developing meaningful connections with animals. Furthermore, she has asthma and feline hyperthyroidism. I have had to administer medications in many forms and am prepared to cater to any needs of your fur baby! Over the past few years, I have also cared for several dogs and have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am currently in a PhD program at Penn and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet's care! I treat any pet with the same level of attention and compassion as my own. I hold trustworthiness, communication, and timeliness in the highest regard. Furthermore, your home will be respected and left as it was found.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats/kittens for friends and family members through college and post-grad. I love to walk my friends' dogs through places like Rittenhouse Square, where both they and I can enjoy the nice scenery. Another plus -- I'm an incoming medical student with experience working with all types of patients. I would love to care for your pet with the same kind of respect, responsibility, and compassion! I'm currently working 9 AM to 5 PM, but can be flexible during the mornings, evenings, and weekends! I live near Rittenhouse Square, so I am conveniently close to many hotspot locations. As a highly meticulous person, I always aim to provide attentive, reliable, and tailored care, following all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable. I maintain a clean, safe space, ensure fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m also highly communicative, and will keep owners updated as frequently or in frequently with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“Natalie is so great with our pittie mix! She’s attentive, punctual, and kind. Would absolutely recommend Natalie for dog-walking/dog-sitting services :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you, Brittany. We are so grateful to you for taking care of Daphne - and we loved the pic and updates. It was a relief knowing she was i. Your hands!! Many thanks!”
About: I have been working around/living with dogs for my entire life. I will always be sure to give your pups extra love and attention while they are missing you while following all of your requests. Walks and playtime or whatever you want can be done at whatever intervals your request. I can also take dogs to the wonderful, award winning, local dog parks. Since they will be missing you, I will be sure to provide extra love and care to make them comfortable while they are staying with me. I live right by an animal hospital in case of emergencies as well. I also am very familiar with any dog allergies/things they cannot eat. I am careful to keep anything dangerous out of reach and off of counters.
About: Starting 9/28, my availability is evenings on weekdays and anytime on the weekends! Taken care of cats since my first at 7 years old; also cared for her many kittens in the years following. Super comfortable with kittens, senior cats, and everything in between. You name it, I've taken care of it. My first pet was a tomato frog and since then I've kept snakes, geckos, and insects. I'm happy to care for your non-furry critters, too! Also a biologist :) I just recently moved to Philly where I'm looking for work, so I'll do my absolute best to work with most any time you suggest. I try to operate on a "no trace left behind" system. I'll keep your critters safe and happy with your space left totally clean.
“Chris looked after our pups again this past weekend. Our dogs can be very anxious but he is always patient and takes his time to make sure they are comfortable. He definitely goes above and beyond & we love that he keeps us updated while we’re away. Thanks Chris!”

Tara was incredible. She was very attentive with our dogs, we have very “quirky” dogs and by that I mean reactive/anxious! They are sweet but def have some anxieties that can be hard to care for and require patience. Tara was so patient with our two doggos and gave them the care they needed while we were away. She was always on time and sent us great photos and check in notes. Would 100% use her again if she was up to it (we know our dogs can be a lot). Thanks so much Tara, for caring for Frankie and Bear (and even being so kind to our kitty) while we were away! We knew they were in great hands.
Kayla is super sweet and kind to my dog Koa. 💕 She is attentive to Koa and to Koa’s needs. We appreciate that she is willing to keep Koa in her normal routine. Kayla does a great job providing me with updates on their time spent together and with photos of their walks. Overall, Kayla is communicative, helpful, and kind. I plan to keep booking with Kayla on a reoccurring basis. 🙌🏻
Amanda was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. My pup who can be skittish at times with new people instantly took to her. It was my pup’s birthday and his first walk without me. Amanda did a great job. I cannot thank her enough for caring for my little guy, and keeping him safe. I will absolutely be scheduling more walks with her soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rittenhouse on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,284 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.
