“Nicole. was. FANTASTIC. We can’t rave about her enough. She was communicate and sent photos and videos of our pups while we were away. We had a sense of peace and comfort knowing they were in great hands. 10/10! 5 Stars!!”
“Amanda was excellent. I loved her approach and ease she took in walking my pit bull terrier! With all the stigma behind the breed she trusted my judgement after I assure her my dog was non aggressive and just playful . She was prompt and quick with her response time !”
“Michael was wonderful with my dog Shelby. He showed up on time each day, and was gentle and patient with her. (She was reluctant to go out sometimes). He communicated with me each day about how it went. Shelby acquainted herself quickly with Michael and started to look forward to her walks. I would highly recommend him. He's definitely a dog lover and is responsible and communicative. Thanks Mike!”
“Danielle has been great! She walks my chihuahua/terrier puppy 4 days a week and handles my 8 year old Tree Walker Coonhound with care. Danielle is always responsive and has always been flexible when things came up.”

About: Hi! I’m Allison. I have always had a dog growing up, and am a dog mom myself of over a year, so I know how important regular exercise and social activities are for our furry friends! I have experience with calm dogs, hyper dogs, big dogs, small dogs, young pups, old dogs and even dogs that may need some extra help so I can handle a large range of pets. I also have experience with cats. Our pets are truly part of the family, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule with limited meetings so am pretty much available at any time. I would never accept a request when I have a work obligation. Our pets are like our babies so I always bring water with me for walks especially in the summer. I also carry can ed air at all times (which I’ve never had to use thankfully) in case of emergencies. I like to do mental exercises inside to help tucker out my dog without making a mess inside.
About: Hi! My name is Rachael and I live in Delran. I have been dog-sitting for about 14 years now. I've taken care of small and big dogs and love caring for them and also playing with them. I have a 12 year old retriever pitbull myself that my family rescued. I know how to care for her when she's stressed out, like when there is a thunderstorm or fireworks going off. So, I can provide a calming atmosphere for dogs when needed and am always ready to have fun with dogs, too! I have experience administering oral medications as well. I have cared for up to three dogs at the same time. I love making dogs feel at ease and I love seeing their high energy when we play! I am currently available for dog walking and at-home visits while you are away. I am currently working part time, so I have pretty open availability each week for visits and dog walking! I love spending time with animals and can ensure I provide top notch service for your pets. Currently, I live with my family dog that is a 12 year old pitbull retriever mix. I am not currently offering in-home care for other pets, as I do not want to interfere with my dog, but at your home I can play with them, feed them, relax with them, walk them, and do whatever you need me to do to provide a safe environment for your pet!
About: I’ve taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I’ve also owned a senior dog and puppy myself, both of which needed diapers, as well as a very reactive, energetic dog. I have also done overnight dog sitting stays for friends and family, and have babysat dogs ranging in sizes from a yorkshire terrier to a golden retriever. I’m a college student who has plenty of free time. I do a hybrid schedule of online and in person classes which allows me the freedom to have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet care. I also have my own transportation. I have training with dog CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, and did my college sophomore year research paper on it. I have one dog, he’s an extremely friendly, 3 year old golden doodle. He goes on three walks a day, sometimes more, and gets to play in our fenced in yard whenever he sits by the back door. I also had a poodle who was my childhood dog. She lived to be 15 and was extremely happy and well taken care of. My family is a family of dog and animal lovers. We’ve had a range of pets from fish and mice to cats and dogs.
“Victoria is very reliable and communicative! She was also very accommodating with some unforeseen changes to the plan. I would HIGHLY recommend her, and will certainly book her again in the future!”
“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”
“First time using Jimi and he was great. Walked a bit with to make sure my dog was comfortable. She was at ease with him from the start. Arrived on time and completed two walks with short notice. Thanks.”
About: My goal is to provide the pest possible service for your family. I am just getting started with Rover and not so busy yet. I think some great reviews would help and that is good news for you because great reviews require providing great service. Seriously, I am a senior looking to supplement my income like all old guys but I truly love dogs. It may seem strange but I feel a connection and able to communicate. So how about a shot to give you some great service so I can great reviews and fill my calendar a bit. Often times the fewer words the better but below gives you a window into some personal pet experiences. Pets have been a part of my entire life. My first adolescent memory is of Jacque, a prissy French Poodle with an attitude that Mom would let me dress up complete with overcoat, booties and of course a French beret. Ginger was a large orange tabby cat that could have been Garfield's stunt double. My parents attempt at teaching me responsibility actually worked. Married in 1971 our life together started with Figaro, looked just like the cat from Pinocchio. All black with white paws very sneaky, overly curious and slightly narcissistic. Figora belonged to my wife and he made that very clear. Sabrina, a very shiny grey Siamese joined us when my sister went to school. Sabrina was very anti social and did not like anybody. House guests could spend an entire weekend and never see her. She tolerated us but Sabrina and Figora had shall we say, an understanding. Neither were ever outdoors or saw the light of day. With the family developed and 3 boys later came Thunder. He was a rescue Sheppard mix. He was very active, playful, mischievous and very funny. He was more than a handful and we still laugh and talk about things that he did. As he became an adult dog, by years not behavior for sure, friends in a rural area expressed how much they loved Thunder. We just could not break their hearts and allowed them to adopt Thunder. We visited often. After some time Briar came into the picture. My wife's girlfriend became ill and unable to care for a large majestic Bovier de Flanders. Her coat was amazing. Very heavy and thick. Kids on the street would ask if she was a bear. When someone rang the doorbell Briar would announce them and greet them in an extremely loud intimidating manor. The caller could have just opened the door and patted her end and should would just give love and affection. She was kind gentle and helpful to everyone. Except, if you were to approach my wife in an aggressive manor or touch her, you were taking your life in your own hands. She was never taught to protect her, but protect she did. Amazing breed characteristics and lots of stories. We learned she had a UTI and was her kidney. We prolonged her life as long as possible and realized the treatment and medication were selfish on our part and chose her comfort over our love for her. So hard. My most recent pet experience was Pike, a brindle pit bull, male and Roxy, female dachshund. We started to foster them temporarily while my son traveled for work and turned to an extended stay their last years. Roxy ruled the roost for sure and was always funny when you considered their statute let alone breed but she was boss. We called them the odd couple. I would take them with me to work often and Pike made sales calls with me. He was truly my road dog. We lost them both within a month. We lost them both just before pandemic, they were 16-17 best guess. My son was the one that literally rescued Pike while he was chained to a dumpster in Rittenhouse Square all day in the rain. With lots of patience and love from everyone close, I watched him transform from an otherwise unfriendly, aggressive, animal hating Pit Bull transform to the sweetest, gentlest, ready to please member of the family. I do not have any formal training training nor have done training professionally but I am up for the challenge. I know and understand the 7 basic commands, hand signals, concepts and have a tremendous amount of patience. There are a lifetime of story's how I was the only one that got along with the shop dog or the neighbors dog or a particular. Hope to meet you and your Pups soon, Rocci I am retired and available 9:00am to 9:00 pm right now I don't need much notice. I am hoping to develop relationships with dogs by providing outstanding service I have a French yard that houses all the dogs and cats and the other animals as well as an area in the garage where we keep all the toys
“Our pup Emmy greatly enjoys her walks with Jillian! She is great with our rescue and very responsive in communication. Also gives helpful updates on how Emmy did. Will definitely book again!”

“For having a literal herd (4 dogs) Michael walks them three times a week and spends quality time getting to know each one to make sure they get their energy out. I would recommend him for all your pet care needs.”
“Gabrielle has been so patient and willing to work with our dog Pebbles, who has anxiety about going with her for walks while we’re in the house. She sat on the ground with Pebbles and played with her. They bonded, and we’re so grateful Gabrielle tried different things to win Pebbles over. They’ll be best friends before we know it!”

Elley has truly been an incredible dog walker for my dog, Caramel, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she made such a strong impression during our initial meet and greet, Caramel instantly fell in love with her. As a dog owner, that immediate connection meant everything to me and reassured me that Caramel would be in great hands. Since then, Elley has been walking Caramel weekly, and she has consistently gone above and beyond. She is extremely attentive and clearly takes the time to understand Caramel’s needs, personality, and energy level. I always feel confident knowing that Caramel is safe, cared for, and genuinely happy during their time together. One of the things I appreciate most is how communicative and informative Elley is. She always provides thoughtful updates after each walk and sends plenty of pictures, which I absolutely love it gives me peace of mind and brightens my day seeing how much fun Caramel is having. It’s very clear that Elley truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that level of dedication is hard to find. Caramel adores her walks with Elley, and I can honestly say she is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about what they do, Elley is the perfect choice.
Wondered how I would find a dog walker my dogs know on Thanksgiving Day. Naomi to the rescue! I knew I could depend on her to come while we would be gone for several hours and the dogs just love her. They ate well but a little hesitant to walk. Naomi offered to walk a second time, but I knew they would be ok till we go home. And they were. Thanks so much Naomi and I know we will always contact you first.
