Dog Walking Schuylkill Southwest

“Bri did such a great job with Basil! This was our first time using Rover and she made me feel so at ease. She always made sure to send pictures and update me on how Basil was doing. Would definitely book her again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 15 years, including my own, neighbors, and friends. I am experienced in dog walking, overnight and day time pet sitting, etc. I live walking distance to Rittenhouse Square and the Schuylkill River trail/dog park. “Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.” I have a flexible work schedule and can be available as needed. I am available to dog walk during the day or care for your pet as needed! I am happy to follow the lead of the owners preferences when it comes to giving treats, stimulating activities, frequency of walks, amount of playtime, etc.

“My dogs liked Sabin immediately. My timid pup let Sabin pick him up, which he is normally very worried about even with me. Sabin is responsible, attentive and has positive energy that all of us appreciate! I highly recommend him!”

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.

“Sarah was a new walker for my pup! She was kind, responsive, and cautious with my pups needs. She also takes incredible photos of dogs!!! I can’t believe she got my dog to sit long enough for them too! I’m an anxious dog parent and trust Sarah not only with my dog but also in my home. Will be using her for future dogs walks, and you should too! She’s responsive to messages, keeps me updated and arrives on time!”

“Christopher helped us out for a last minute request to walk my dog. He was so attentive to all my requests and went above and beyond to help. I knew my dog was in good company with Christopher. I will definitely be booking him again and highly recommend him! Thank you!”

“Brenna was great. Usually a little tentative with new people, it only took one time walking together before Scout warmed up to Brenna and really looked forward to their walks together.”

“Katrina is the absolute best!! She was so patient and kind with my nervous dog and went above and beyond. Felt so relieved to have her watching him. Definitely recommend!”

About: I grew up having an energetic beagle so I’m used to matching a dog’s high energy level. I now usually dog/housesit for family friends and volunteer to walk the dogs from Doggiestyles pet store. Just graduated from Drexel University so I have a lot of time throughout the summer, especially during day hours. Very flexible to match client’s schedule I usually follow the requests of the client and will check in the dogs every now and then to make sure they’re okay. I would check to make sure they’re not doing anything they’re not supposed to, but also keep them entertained if they seem bored

“Hazel was amazing with Mia! On time, took great care of her, fed her dinner, and kept us updated with photos and detailed notes. Would definitely book again!”

“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: 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! • Drop-in Visits - If you’ve got a whole pack 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.

“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!”

“Nicholas is great. He has been great with both my dogs. One of my dogs is reactive and just got back from a month long board and train and has been great helping me keep her on her training. They are always in great moods when I come home.”

About: I’ve taken care of my black lab with my family for the past three years. She recently passed away at 11 years old in February, and I’ve missed her every second. Through Rover, I’m hoping to share the love I held with her with other dogs of all ages and sizes! I’m working part time before I start medical school in August, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I live at home with family, who are also very experienced with pets. We have a fenced-in yard and live next to a park that’s great for walks!

About: Hi! I’m new to Rover but definitely not new to caring for dogs. I grew up with dogs and now have a 3-year-old dachshund named Lincoln, who is incredibly friendly and loves meeting new pups. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs of all sizes, including a 95-pound Golden Retriever. I recently started my MBA at Wharton after working in consulting, so I have a flexible schedule and can give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re on their own vacation while you’re away! Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or just hanging out nearby, I’m happy to match their routine and energy level. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else—I feel exactly the same way about Lincoln. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. As a full-time MBA student, my schedule is very flexible, and I spend much of my day studying from home. My fiancé also works from home, so there’s almost always someone around to keep your pup company. Lincoln and I already go on several walks each day, and I love walking around Fitler Square, Rittenhouse Square, and along the Schuylkill River Trail. If your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along! We also love spending time at the park (if that’s something you’re comfortable with and your dog enjoys). Every dog’s routine is different, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to what they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My fiancé and I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment in Fitler Square, where visiting pups will be treated like members of the family. Lincoln is a gentle, social dachshund who loves having canine friends around. Before each stay, I’d love to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, and any preferences or quirks so I can make their experience as comfortable as possible. Whether they need medication, have favorite toys, prefer quiet walks, or have specific house rules, I’ll do my best to keep everything consistent with what they’re used to. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved.
