About: I have years of experience with my own pets and have walked and cared for a variety of fluffy companions. Since 2020, I’ve raised and trained two of my own puppies and can handle dogs with all kinds of training backgrounds. I am especially excited to care for pets when my dog is welcome because he loves playing with friends! I have a full time job that starts early in the morning (M-F) which leaves me with lots of time to walk, cuddle, and play with your pets in the evenings and on weekends. My dog is a friendly and gentle boy! He loves friends and adapts well to any environment, if your furry friends do too, we will be a great match 🐾 I’m great at following detailed instructions and can work my schedule around your pets’ needs.
“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”
“My dog Winnie loved her walks with Siobhan! She is very reliable and always gives Winnie lots of love and attention during their walks together!”
“Sarah has gone above and beyond for our rambunctious lovable goofball 1 year old German shepherd. She was able to cover with last minute request and I am forever grateful! Our puppy boy loves her so much!”
“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: 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.
“Natalie is so great with our pittie mix! She’s attentive, punctual, and kind. Would absolutely recommend Natalie for dog-walking/dog-sitting services :)”
About: Hi! I’m Cailey - pet sitter, dog walker, and lifelong animal lover. 🐶🐱 I’ve been caring for other’s pets 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! • If you’ve got a whole pack (dogs and cats) 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.
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.
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“They were very attentive to my dog's needs and very prompt with communication. My dog seemed to enjoy his walks and the care provided to him. I would absolutely recommend Kaylah (Charlie) for any future bookings!”

Alex has been an extremely reliable and thoughtful dog walker! He’s super communicative, responsible, flexible, and friendly. The detailed updates and photos he sends are great too. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog!
Lola was super friendly and helpful as a steady dog walker for us during the work week. She walked our dog M-F for 3 weeks and was an excellent and timely communicator the whole time. Our dog loved her and we will happily call her again for walks and pet sitting in the future!
We have rebooked with Scott several times and will continue to do so as he has earned our trust with our pets and home. He is responsible, trustworthy, respectful, and reliable. He communicates if there are any issues that arise and has been flexible for us. He also obviously loves animals. So glad to have found him!
I had such a great experience with Ed! He was wonderful with Sam—patient, attentive, and so kind with him. Sam has some mobility limitations and needs a little extra care on walks, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. He was reliable and communicative. It gave me peace of mind, and I would absolutely recommend him and book with him again!
Sarah did an absolute wonderful job walking Bruce for us. She spent extra time with him knowing that he was home alone & went out of her way to help us clean up an accident since we’re still working through potty training. We will absolutely be booking with her again & highly recommend her!!! She made Bruce feel calm and connected quickly! We are very thankful.
Laurel is great! She took the time before the first walk to hear our notes on Maila’s temperament and Laurel asked great initial questions. They went on a 30-minute walk and Maila came back with the biggest smile! Laurel gave helpful notes about what she noticed about Maila during the walk too. Maila is now resting after such a fun walk. We will definitely work with Laurel again.

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.
