“Lee was absolutely amazing. He bonded with my dog and when over and above anything I could have asked for. Your dog will be well taken care of with Lee.”


“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!”

“Tricia is such an incredible sitter! She provides the best pictures and updates and can handle any pet large or small. She is patient with her sitting subjects and their safety is her utmost priority. I will certainly book her again!”

“Liz is an excellent dog walker. She’s great with our dog who can be a little reactive on walks. She has also been helping him learn some great habits. She always sends great photos along the walk.”

“Natalie has been wonderful with Bixby. She's worked with us as we navigate this new energetic pup into our lives by providing both care for Bixby and frequent updates to us during his weekday walks!”


About: Having grown up on a farm, I have cared for all kinds of pets since I was very young. I have experience with just about everything, from the laziest of cats to the most energetic of dogs (with rabbits, birds, and even sheep in between!) Puppies and kittens, adults, seniors, I've cared for them all. I love animals and feel confident in helping you care for yours. I'm a recent college graduate still looking for full-time work, so I have very open availability. I can fit just about anything into my schedule during the week. Consistency is super important for our pets, so I'm more than happy to follow any and all guidelines you set. Cat gets fed at exactly 6:23pm? I won't be a second late! Dog needs someone to watch the newest episode of her favorite reality tv show with her? I'll be seated!

About: I have helped care for hundreds of dogs, cats, and other animals over the last four years working in animal welfare. I have acquired many skills over the years that make me an ideal candidate to care for pets of all size, age, temperament, and medical needs. Reactive dog? No problem! Hard to medicate cat? Easy peasy! Whatever your pet's need, I can take care of it! I work 9-5, Friday-Tuesday at an animal rescue in the city. I am available any time outside of those hours for whatever you may need! Working in animal welfare has kept me up to date in the most recent and accepted practices in animal care. I work daily to help people trouble shoot issues they are having with their animals and can easily use that knowledge to meet your pet's needs.
“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!”
“Prompt, consistent, communicative, and flexible. Very easy to contact, update, and plan with. Willing and able to make specific tweaks based on client request and availability. Highly recommended, extremely consistent.”

“Chasity is a fantastic dog walker! When she first got started, she asked all the right questions to learn about my dog and what he needs for going on walks. She took great photos during the walk, and my dog was clearly a happy camper when he came home. Chasity is very responsive to communication and great with scheduling flexibility, especially on short notice. Highly recommended!”


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
About: Besides fostering and later adopting my own special needs beloved cat, I've cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family. My experience includes feeding, walking, playing, cleaning, etc. I pay attention to detail and instructions, caring for animals as if they were my own, knowing these are sentient beings and understanding their psychology well. I'm well suited for any task and connect deeply with animals. Besides looking after animals for friends and family, I also regularly volunteer at the cat cafe! I'm currently working part-time so my schedule can be very flexible with at least a day's notice! I wake up early too and I'm very punctual if needed, so mornings are not an issue. I treat my client's home with the upmost respect, following all instructions. I'm naturally a very clean person as well, so the home will be left exactly how you left it!
About: I have experience working in a fast-paced dog daycare and boarding environment, providing daily care and supervision for 35–40 dogs while ensuring their safety, health, and overall well-being. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, bathing, and following owner-specific care instructions to make every dog feel comfortable and cared for. I also organized enrichment activities and monitored group play sessions to encourage positive socialization, support physical and mental stimulation, and create a fun, safe environment for every dog. With my experience handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, I would be a great fit for any dog needing reliable care, long walks, active playtime, or extra attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, and I currently have open availability to provide reliable and flexible care. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, play sessions, and other pet care needs throughout the week. I currently provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day while following all owner instructions closely. My goal is to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Kristen has been working with my dog Petey for about three weeks. Petey has very bad anxiety, and she's been very patient and responsive with him, mostly in-home visits, but a few walks when he's ready. Kristen leaves detailed notes on her cards and messages, so I feel relieved to know he's in good hands.”

About: I’ve been the go to friend for pet care (dogs and cats) and fostered two cats. Experience with skittish dogs and diabetic and toothless cats. I work from home, so I’m available during most office hours and evenings. I like exploring the local parks and can accommodate long walks, as needed. I approach each pet with kindness and love. My typical routine is greetings, pets, some playtime, food, cleaning (litter box or designed area), and more pets/ playtime.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Philadelphia
Megan was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my puppy during the walk. She provided timely updates and made the whole experience easy and reassuring. I would definitely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker, and I'd be happy to book with her again.

Gregory accepted a last minute booking to walk our dog and ended up walking her twice, feeding her dinner and giving her medicine. She was a happy dog when we came home and his pictures and communication were great. Can’t wait to have him walk our dog more regularly!

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!
