“So happy we found Erica to help out twice a week taking our energetic dog for a midday walk! She’s responsive on the app, clearly loves dogs, is respectful of our home, and always leaves a picture and update after the walk. We’ve settled into a nice routine and it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work knowing Erica will be stopping in.”
“Alexandra is the best! We have a high energy, rule breaking, leash pulling Australian Shepherd. Alexandra is patient with him and sends plenty of pics and details. Highly recommend”

I’m also a proud dog mom to my 10-month-old toy poodle, Miffy, who I’ve cared for since she was just 12 weeks old. From potty training and establishing routines to playtime, enrichment, and cuddles, I understand the patience and attention that go into caring for a pup. I work from home twice a week! I’m also available on weekends and holidays. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! As a puppy mom, I understand the importance of a safe, loving environment, close supervision, and sticking to your pet’s routine.

“Casey clearly loves animals… She is communicative, reliable, responsible and experienced. I should also mention she’s very punctual and accommodating. My dogs should affection towards her when they met her.”
About: I have been cat and dog sitting since the age of 12, and I absolutely ADORE animals. I have experience caring for pets doing everything from round the clock care to more sparse feedings, walkings, and cleanings. I have a lot of experience with senior pets as my favorite client is an adorable senior yorkie! I currently make my own schedule at work, so I can care for your pets very flexibly. I am free just about every single night and most weekends! Your pet would be my top priority! I care for pets in any way they need. I’ve cared for animals that require round the clock care meaning sleeping at the house to ensure I am available at all hours for the pet’s needs, feeding at specific scheduled times, and playing and cleaning as needed. I also can do more sparse jobs for more independent pets, letting them out, taking them for walks, and feeding them at specific times throughout the day.
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own for over 10 years, so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and understanding their needs. I’ve also dog sat for others, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing and making sure dogs are well taken care of while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student, so I work around my class schedule, but I still have plenty of availability throughout the week. Mondays I’m free before 3 PM and after 6 PM, and Wednesdays I’m available before 2 PM and after 5 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days, but I’m completely free on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I always make sure pets are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions when it comes to feeding, walks and daily routines. Having two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping their environment clean and safe.
About: Hi there! My name is Megan, but I go by my middle name Jaime! I grew up with both cats and dogs. My first pet was a German Shepherd-Husky mix named Abby, and her strength could’ve pulled an arm out of its socket! She taught me so much about love and care for animals, and especially how to handle walking a big, strong dog. I have provided care to numerous dogs and cats (apart from my own) over the years. My cat, Maximus, is staunchly an only child, but I have found myself really missing canine companions, which is why I’d love to walk yours. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a flexible schedule due to still being in school, and have plenty of time for your pup! I would probably be going on a walk anyway, so I’m really looking forward to bringing canine companions with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I am very well versed in reading dogs’ cues, and will happily adhere to each dog’s individualized needs. I will never let a dog off their leash or put them in an unsafe or uncomfortable situation. Your dog is safe with me!
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I’ve developed a genuine passion for making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved! Over the years, I’ve been trusted by families, friends, and neighbors to care for their furry family members, whether that means daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they receive the individualized attention they deserve. Whether your pup loves long walks and adventures or prefers cuddles and a little extra TLC, I’m happy to accommodate! Above all, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry best friend is in caring and dependable hands! I’m currently a law student at Villanova, and pet care is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my routine! While I balance my classes and studies, I have flexibility throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I love spending time outdoors, staying active, and taking study breaks, so spending time with furry friends is the perfect addition to my day! I am organized, dependable, and communicative about my availability, and I always make sure that any pet care commitments receive my full attention. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for them and their pups! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! With 10 years of pet-sitting experience, I understand how important it is to maintain a consistent routine and create a safe, stress-free environment, especially when pets are away from their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am extremely respectful of their space and make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (when applicable), and any specific routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort level and always prioritize safe, attentive care during walks and playtime. I also understand how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away! I’m always happy to send photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and responsibility I would want someone to show my own!
“Kaitlin really came through for me not only this week — where she walked my dog 3x a day— but even more recently for a midday walk at the last minute. For my planned week away, my flight home was canceled and I needed her to walk the dog at night, although we hadn’t planned for that. It felt really good knowing that my dog was in good hands and that he would be able to get some exercise and relieve himself when I couldn’t be there. He gets super excited about his walks and tends to pull a lot in the beginning, until he calms down, and she was able to handle him. He also takes medicine regularly so she was really good with giving it to him in alternative ways. It’s a blessing to be able to leave your pet in the care of someone when they can’t be with you. You need to have confidence in and be comfortable with that person and Kaitlin made me feel both of those things. She is now my go-to dog walker.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, and loved a medium sized dog in my home growing up for about 9-10 years. Since having him I’ve pet sat for friends, family, family friends as requested. I’ve watched dogs overnight and for up to 9 or so consecutive months, and I’ve watched two cats for 3 months. I’ve helped my mom care for her pitbull puppy and her pointer. Any pet I watch I will love as if they were my own; and if I’m coming for an extended stay, I make sure the house is nice, clean, and smelling good so the owner can relax as much as possible coming home. Happy to do walks, feedings, extended stays, I’m not the most experienced in grooming but am willing to get the practice in if the trust is there. Let me know what you need and I’ll do what I can to support you and your fur baby🥰. I work a lot as an actor/performer, and am in between gigs. So my schedule is primarily dedicated to pet care outside of daily responsibilities When in my clients homes I stick to their rules with their pets. So if dogs on the bed/couch are a no, I’ll respect that. My goal is to make my clients animal as comfortable as possible. I even like seeing them sometime before the scheduled visit to see how our chemistry is, though I haven’t had had any bad visits. In my home I’ll care for them in the same fashion. Make sure they’re feed, take them for walks (if they’re walkers), cuddle and make sure they feel loved.
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I also previously worked at a pet hospital, where I helped care for animals and became comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I’m attentive to the little things and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, meals, and companionship without rushing. I genuinely love animals and enjoy having them around, so caring for pets feels like something I naturally make time for every day. It really depends on the pet and the service. I like to stick to their normal routine as much as I can and give them whatever they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just someone around. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to give them attention and make sure they’re comfortable.
“Dave & Savanna were great! Very communicative & easy to work with. They were even kind enough to stop in for a walk on Easter in between their plans. Will definitely use them again!”
“Amberleigh was wonderful! She took great care of our Rottie and cat while we were away. She posted multiple pictures of each pet with every visit. Would absolutely go with her again in the future!”
About: For the past four years, I have volunteered with the ASPCA, where I have gained valuable hands on experience caring for animals of all ages. In addition, I have worked as a pet sitter for the past three years and have become a trusted dog walker and pet sitter within my community, providing reliable care whenever families need assistance. My experience extends well beyond pet sitting. My family and I have fostered more than 50 dogs, ranging from newborn puppies to senior dogs, who needed to be loved exclusively during their final stages of life. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I am deeply committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. My highest priority is to ensure each animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for while in my care, giving pet owners complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you! I’m a student at Villanova University and currently commute to classes, so I always have reliable transportation and the flexibility to accommodate your pets’ needs. I will mention that, on some days, I’ll need to be away for a maximum of 3-3.5 hours at a time due to my class schedule during the week. :) I prefer to care for pets at the clients home, as our dogs are all rescues and not friendly around other animals. I offer a variety of services to fit your pet's needs, including dog walking, drop-in visits, daytime pet sitting, overnight stays, and check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or companionship while you're away. I will treat your pets like family and will always care for them as if they were my own!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Strafford
We had a great experience with our dog walker, Morgan. She was consistently on time, which we really appreciated, and always communicated clearly and promptly, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind. Most importantly, Morgan took excellent care of our dog and treated them with genuine attention and kindness. She truly went above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.
Alexandria is wonderful! She truly has a special connection with dogs. Max was so excited to see her each day. He would sit at the front door and wait for her. He was absolutely. thrilled to see her. She was always on time and was just wonderful. On the first walk there was approximately four inches of snow, and it was bitterly cold. But she still arrived on time. We recommend Alexandria without reservation. We will most certainly book her again.

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 your Strafford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
