“Zachary took time out of his day to meet our dog prior to his scheduled walk. He was patient and kind with our pup who takes a long time to warm up to people. He went above and beyond our expectations and I would recommend Zachary to anyone looking for help with their dog!”


“Caroline has been walking our 3 year old golden retriever, Sophie. Sophie has a ton of energy which Caroline handles like a pro! She is always on time and takes amazing care of our pup while we are away. There is no doubt Caroline loves spending time with Sophie and we would not hesitate to use her in the future!”


“Colette was an amazing dog walker, my dogs absolutely loved her and we will definitely miss her. She was communicative, prompt, and so sweet with our girls. They got to know her car and would get so excited when they saw it coming down our street!”


About: While I grew up with and love dogs, my wife’s allergies prevent us from getting one of our own - I joined rover to hang with some cool pups and to help make sure I get my daily steps in! I work as an independent consultant and work from home, so I have flexibility during the day to help with short/long walks, trips to Wissahickon Park, or to head to one of the local dog parks, etc.. I live in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia over by Walnut Lane Golf Course. Prefer to stay in the local area (short drive is OK). In the past I've had a variety of big and small dogs ranging for dachshunds, to chihuahuas, to golden doodles, to labradors. So big or small, I'm happy to help care for your pup! I currently work as an independent consultant, so I have flexibility to schedule around my fur friends needs. I do occasionally travel for backpacking trips or to see friends, however you’ll have plenty of advance notice. Each pet and their needs are unique, whether it’s a nice long walk or a good long scratch, I’ll be sure to follow your regimen to ensure your pet’s needs are met.

“Christina did a fantastic job walking Tully! Even though it was just one walk, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs. She was professional, kind, and made sure Tully felt comfortable and cared for. Christina provided a great update afterward, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely trust her with Tully again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”


“Nicole was wonderful. She had never met our puppy but was able to coax her outside in the pouring rain, and got her to pee the first time & pee & poop in the second, quite the feat for a stranger and my anxious pup. Nicole was responsive, easy to communicate with, and I highly recommend her!”


About: I love all animals big and small. I’ve been dog walking since high school and love a dog play date. While I only have cats in my own home, I can’t wait to become best friends with your fur baby. I’m a hybrid worker with flexibility. I’m happy to help early or late! I’m used to juggling different projects and work well under pressure. Most weekends I spend exploring Philly and love to unwind with my pets. At home, I know that it’s my cats’ house, I’m just lucky to live with them. I’m all about pet comfort, while sticking to routines.

About: He cuidado perros desde hace 10 años, desde cachorros a adultos además de tener siempre 3bellos perros en mi familia, desde adiestramiento cuando están pequeños hasta muchísimo amor cuando están viejitos. Actualmente trabajo tiempo parcial así que poseo mucho tiempo para dedicarle a sus mascotas, mucho amor y atención especializada en todo momento, atención garantizada a toda hora. Caminar trayectos conrtos o largos ayuda mucho a desestresar a tu perrito, jugar a la pelota o correr por el jardín le ayudara a drenar toda esa energía acumulada.

“I feel very comfortable at work knowing Toni will take good care of my doggo! J Rock has been having some health concerns and Toni has adapted easily to his new routine.”


“Yu-Wei is super reliable. Our dogs love her and get so excited for her arrival. She makes herself available in a pinch and has even improved our dogs behavior on walks through whatever magic she is working with them! 10 out of 10 recommend!”
