“Thorough, responsive, asked great questions, met all my expectations. Stephen was also very patient when my big dog was nervous about seeing him on his first time entering alone. Would recommend and rebook!”
“Hazel is delightfully consistent and communicative. It’s been just about a year of service and I am fairly certain Odin couldn’t be happier! Scheduling is a breeze, changes in schedule are met with flexibility, understanding, and typically at least a week or two of heads up. Hazel’s commitment to professionalism is showcased in Odin’s wagging tail and my peace of mind!”
“Claire was a huge help. She came over to walk Nola last minute due to my boyfriend and I not feeling great from Our second Pfizer vaccine. Will def use her again.”
About: Caregiving is one of my favorite things to do. I try to value and nurture all relationships and interactions I have; including those with animals. On a daily basis, you could find me like a balance beam. Actively utilizing both a quick to move mentality and a one that likes to observe details. I’m an involved and hands on person. No matter the environment I’d like to make everyday enriching. Give me a challenge and you’ll have a player.
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.
“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!”
“Amanda stepped up in a pinch when our previous dog walker became unresponsive and did a great job! She took extra care to make sure our dog felt safe and cared for over the 4th of July weekend! Will definitely keep her in mind for future trips!”
“Jackie was amazing with my dog on her walks. She asked all the right questions in the meet and greet, sent great pictures and Reyna seemed to have a great time on her walks despite the snow. Will definitely book again!”
“Samantha was an amazing friend to my Golden doodle, Milo, while I was away. She took great care of him going above and beyond to make sure he was less anxious,in addition, she was very communicative. I will definitely rebook.”
“Would highly recommend Devon to anyone who needs dog walking or drop ins. He’s friendly, professional, and my dog loves him! My dog always stands ups with his tail wagging when he hears Devon arriving. Devon has been flexible with my everchanging schedule as well. We look forward to continuing to use him as a dog walker!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog walker and pet sitter with a year of experience providing loving care for dogs. Most of my experience comes from caring for the pets of friends and family, where I’ve built a reputation for being attentive, dependable, and treating every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I make communication a priority. You can count on me to provide regular updates, respond promptly to messages, and follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and companionship, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My current availability allows me to provide up to three walks per day on weekends, as well as on Mondays and Fridays. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! When I used to sit I would take the dog on a walk before work and one in the evening. I know some dogs need three but I’d only be able to do so on the weekend and Friday and Monday I’d prefer to pet sit in the pup’s home versus mine. I find it makes them less nervous or antsy especially with a new face but would welcome doing it if needed.
“Ari was great! Had flexibility with my travel schedule that changed around a bit giving the impending weather, which was so helpful. Sent pictures of the pup and made sure he had fresh water!”
About: I have taken care of my childhood dog since he was a puppy and he is now 12. I also work with clients in Philadelphia for dog walks and cat drop in visits. Lastly, I foster cats with PAWS and can take care of all kinds of kitties. I'm currently a medical student with a pretty flexible schedule especially in the evenings and weekends. I would love to spend time with your pets while studying for my exams. I can follow whatever instructions you need for your pets and will spend lots of time and attention with them. Whatever you need, I can do!
About: I grew up with dogs and have lived with them my whole life! I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes including scheduled feedings, toileting, walks, and house sitting. I have experience training puppies and taking care of senior dogs including medication administration. I work with cats less but have experience with cat sitting and litter boxes. I work 3 days a week in a hospital so my availability varies weekly, but I know my schedule weeks/months in advance. I’m also available most weekends. I live in a two-story row home with my boyfriend and our dog but I will be taking care of your pet myself! There are several parks nearby with lots of grass for potty breaks!

Erin is awesome with my dog and cats! My pets love her and she handles them great. I have a large dog so I am cautious with new walkers and sitters, but Erin kept me worry free. She communicates great so I never have any question about how everyone is doing while I’m away.
Andrea was fantastic with Enzo! She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout his stay. It means a lot knowing Enzo is in good hands and getting the attention he deserves. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with him and would happily recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. We'll definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Schuylkill is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Schuylkill. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Schuylkill after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Schuylkill. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
