“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”



“Emily was great! Truly a lifesaver. I needed a walker last minute, my normal dog walker wasn’t available. After reading all her reviews I messaged her to find out if she was available the next day. She sent pictures and updated me throughout the visit. It was hot out so after the walk she hung out with Luna for the 30 minutes. Will definitely use her again and recommend her. Thanks again Emily!”


“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”


“Brandon did a great job walking Zeus. He was personable, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. He was flexible and accommodating of your schedule. We highly recommend him.”


“What would I ever do without Marilyn’s commitment and dedication to my beloved pet. If you find a Rover Champion make sure to appreciate them. Thanks Rover for finding this gem.”

About: I’ve always been around animals my entire life. I’ve also help walked my neighbors dog and also also had my own dog. I also have fed and bathe dogs/cats before. Using me as a walker will insured you that I will treat your pet like my own family. I’m currently available every day with a very flexible schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m working to build pet care into my full-time routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and helping families feel supported and stress-free while they’re away. Pet care is something I take seriously, and I’m ready to commit to it long-term. Since I only offer drop-in visits and dog walking, I always make sure your pet feels safe and respected in their own familiar space. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, and routines. I’m mindful of locking doors, cleaning up after pets, and creating a calm, stress-free atmosphere during each visit.

About: I have had numerous childhood dogs. Now I have two cats of my own. I love taking care of them and hope I can do so for others as well. I am doing a summer internship for Fox Chase Farm for about three days out of the week so the remaining days I can drop by of walk your pet at anytime. In doing drop ins I will treat my clients home and pets with respect as I do with my own home and two cats. I will give my upmost attention to do what is asked.

About: I actually have a lot of experience taking care of pets. When I was a child, I had three parrots and two dogs. I often spent time with my grandmother, who had three dogs, four cats, more than 30 rabbits and an aquarium with fish. When I was 15, I started taking care of the pets of friends who went on vacation. Now I am looking for new clients to take care of their pets, so that I can become their new friend. I am currently looking for a job so I have a lot of free time and the opportunity to take care of your pets. I can take care of your dog both on weekdays and on weekends or holidays. My home is not pet friendly so I will be happy to spend time with your pets in your home. I understand the importance of the safety of your pet and other people, so I prefer walks on a leash and with a muzzle if necessary. After the walk, I consider it necessary to wash your pet's paws to keep your home clean.

About: I've always had pets in my life from a young age. I love dogs in general and love taking care of them. I worked at dog daycare/boarding facility in Huntingdon Valley. I also went to school to become a certified Veterinary Assistant and worked in a veterinary office. I currently work at the School District of Philadelphia. I work full time from 7-3 but have summers off, I can take care of your pets on the weekends, after work during the week and days that schools are closed throughout the year. If clients are looking for a dog sitter I will treat the dog as if they are my own. I would walk the dog, let them out in the yard to play and go to the bathroom; play inside the house. I would try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible until their owners returned along with making sure they have fresh water and food. If the client wants me to walk their pets, I would make sure that it was not too cold or hot out, that it was safe to do so. I would make the walk a positive experience for the animal,and pay attention to the surroundings to make sure there is no danger.
