“Helen is the best! She is knowledgeable, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. She provides great updates on walks, and is always responsive and easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable knowing Hoagie is in her care. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been taking care of them. Currently have two cats and two dogs. My wife calls me the cat whisperer. I work full time Monday through Friday but can stop before and after work as needed. I can be fully flexible on the weekends as needed. Our current animals eat twice a day and the cat’s litter box is cleaned daily. The dogs need walks and everyone needs cuddles. I change the litter fully bi-weekly.
“Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.”

About: 🐾 Calm, patient care for dogs who need extra understanding. I especially enjoy caring for anxious, reactive, and sensitive pets who thrive with patience, structure, and thoughtful handling. As the owner of a 3-year-old rescue Goldendoodle, I have firsthand experience with leash reactivity, pulling, and anxiety. I understand canine body language and know how to help dogs feel safe, regulated, and secure. Whether your dog needs slow introductions, sniff-focused walks, or extra reassurance, I tailor my care to their unique needs. My goal is simple: exceptional care for your pet and peace of mind for you. I work hybrid with some days in South Jersey. I’m available daily after 5:30 PM • Flexible dog walks and drop-ins on Mondays, Thursdays, and weekends • Full availability for all services on weekends I prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, play, and any specific instructions to keep things consistent and low-stress. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, whether that’s exercise, sniff time, or a calm structured walk. My goal is reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.
“Punctual, polite and pleasant are all words that describe Megha’s visits. She was careful and considerate in handling my young and rambunctious puppy. Overall I would highly recommend Meghan to walk your dog!”

“Zack is the best dog walker ever. The girls love him, he’s always reliable, and he’s a great communicator. What else could you ask for! We’re sad that he’s moving away from our neighbourhood, but we wish him all the best with the move!”

“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”
“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 grew up with many different animals and taking time to learn behaviors and what they like means alot to me. I love dogs personally and getting to spend time with them and learning and caring for them is really important. Im a part time student and I think pet sitting/walking is very convient for me. I have alot of time and willing to spend that time with animals I always made time for my pets and learned around them to make them comfortable with the environment and people, unfortunately I have family that are allergic so I dont have any anymore. In my clients home I prefer for it to be clean and make sure its space for pets to have a good stretch
“Sabin is excellent and very trustworthy! We know our dogs are in good hands when he’s there and they are always happy to see him. We get pictures and feedback after every walk, would definitely recommend!”

About: Prior two years of working at a dog daycare, and doing occasional on the side dog sitting for customers from that daycare! Took care of family dogs (Chihuahua and Dachshund!) for multiple years, lots of neighborhood dog sitting as well. **Testimonials may have the name "Stephanie" this is my deadname, and I prefer to be called Theo, thank you! I have a different job but my hours are very infrequent and usually late from 7pm to Midnight or later, so other than that I am essentially constantly home! Pets are allowed on the minimal furniture I have, but plenty of rugs that dogs seem to absolutely adore rolling around in! I have a comfy corner I set up near my window that dogs love to relax in and stare out and watch people and cars go by! I don't have personal dog supplies, so supplies like bowls, crates, food, leashes, etc would be needed!
“Lizzie relieves so much stress off our plates. She loves our pup and happily agreed to walk our new foster pup as well. Working 30 minutes from home, it is such a blessing to have someone we trust and adore looking after our crew!”


“Sarah was wonderful with my dog, Bruno. I was in a real bind during the big snowstorm and sent a last-minute request, and she didn’t hesitate to step in despite the uncertainty with the weather. Her communication was fantastic—quick, clear, and reassuring the whole time. Bruno was so really comfortable with her right away. I will definitely be booking with her again. 5 stars!”

“rebecca is my regular walker for my dog on day i go into the office & i wouldn’t trust anyone else! she is so responsive, patient with austin (as he’s slightly leash reactive) & responsible! i know austin is in great hands when rebecca walks him”

“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.”


About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals, starting with my childhood dog, who was a huge part of my life growing up. As a current grad student, I have some extra time and am looking to make some new furry friends! More recently, I’ve helped care for a new puppy, so I’m comfortable with both the patience older dogs need and the energy (and chaos!) that comes with younger ones. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’m always happy to go on long walks, and as a former college runner, I can easily keep up with higher-energy dogs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. Everyone that knows me knows how much I love dogs and I am excited to bring that passion to helping your dogs stay happy and safe while you are away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m currently a graduate student at University of Pennsylvania, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m regularly available on weekends, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and most Wednesdays, with additional availability at other times during the week. For walks, your dog’s safety and comfort will be my top priorities. I will make sure each walk follows your dog’s usual routine, including preferred routes, pace, and any specific instructions you provide. I will stay attentive to my surroundings at all times and will keep dogs securely leashed unless otherwise instructed. I will avoid unsafe situations (like extreme weather, crowded areas, or unfamiliar dogs if needed) and will always prioritize your dog’s well-being. I will happily accommodate any special needs, whether that’s extra patience with a nervous dog, reinforcing training, or adjusting activity levels for puppies or senior dogs. I will also make sure your home is left exactly as I found it. You can expect clear communication and updates after each walk so you know your dog is happy and in good hands.
Schuylkill Southwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kathrine was great with our pup! This was actually our third time asking her to take care of our dog and cat, and once again she was wonderful. We were on an international trip and had absolutely no worries knowing our pets were in such good hands. Kathrine made sure our pup was well walked, cared for, and happy, and communication was always great. Very reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. we will definitely ask her again!
Cali is so kind, gentle, and patient. This was the first time we ever had a Dog Walker and our pup was nervous but she warmed up to Cali quickly. Cali was also prompt and great with communicating the details of their time together and sending pictures to make us comfortable while we were away!

Anne has been walking our senior, blind dog for the last year and a half, 3x per week and has been amazing! Being blind and having extra needs, Anne has been incredibly sweet and detailed in caring for our dog and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for care!

Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.
