About: All breeds accepted! I was a dog owner for over 16 years and I am an animal lover for life. I will care for and treat your pet as if they were my own. I am available for drop-ins and in-home pet sitting. Meet & Greet required to get to know you and your pet, with a full discussion about your pets’ needs and your expectations for their care, before accepting booking requests. **Rate includes up to 2 walks daily for dogs. Each walk is up to 30 minutes. Rates may change based on level of care required** My full-time job is remote. This allows me to stay with your pet at your home while you are away enjoying your vacation and keep them company throughout the day. Pets will be treated like a member of the family. All needs are met: fresh food, fresh water, lots of potty breaks, exercise, attention, and, of course, love.

About: I have had over 20 regular clients over the last few years and love forming relationships and bonds with pets. I have been dog walking/pet sitting since I was 12 years old, and have experience with all types of dogs. I grew up with my parent’s dogs, and now have one of my own. I treat all dogs like they are my own fur babies, and love connecting with pet parents and their loved ones! I am currently 6 months pregnant and looking for side work as i do not have time work a full time job right now. I am a part time student but other than that my schedule is pretty free! I want your fur baby to feel comfortable and safe in their own home, so I can also feed them or provide water if needed. I always carry treats with me as well :)

About: Hi, I’m Juliette! I’ve never known a day without an animal in my life. Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep intuition for their needs. Today, my home is a happy hub for my two Russian Blues (a 5 year-old female and a 1 year-old male) and my 1 year-old French Bulldog. My Experience Includes: • Dogs of All Kinds: I am comfortable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. From high-energy puppies needing socialization and training to seniors requiring gentle medical care or specific dietary routines, I’ve handled it all. • Cat Specialist: I have extensive experience with a wide variety of cat breeds and temperaments. Whether your cat is social or shy, I know how to make them feel secure. • Small & Exotic Pets: I also have a soft spot for chinchillas and guinea pigs! I am flexible for all kinds of services, however at this point in time I am accepting bookings for drop ins and walk breaks. My puppy has received all of her shots & is spayed, as well as my cats are both up to date with their immunizations if interested in doggy-day care! My Availability: I work overnights (Saturday–Thursday) and finish at 8:00 AM. I tend to get home from work around 9:30 AM, depending on traffic. I give my pets breakfast and a walk outside immediately once I am home. Since I work nights, this allows me to be home and present for your pets during the day. I am happy to provide: • Doggy Day Care (Your pet can socialize with my pets for the day) • Drop-ins & Feedings • Bathroom Breaks & Walks I live in an apartment building near Fairmount in Philadelphia that offers a dark park as well as a fenced in yard by their parking lot. I live in a studio so I am constantly supervising my pets. While taking my dog on walks, I am extremely vigilant—your pet will always be on a leash or safely behind the fence. If you choose me for drop-in visits, I treat your home with the same level of care and respect as I do my own. I am committed to keeping your space exactly as you left it—if your pet has an accident or makes a mess, I will handle the cleanup immediately to ensure your home stays fresh and your pet stays healthy. My priority is making sure they are safe, fed, and happy in their own environment so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.

“Ashley is so wonderful! I could not recommend her enough! She went above and beyond taking care of our sweet Clifford! Her caring ways exceeded our expectations! We were away for a few days and her walks and visits gave us peace of mind that our boy is well cared for. Best solution ever to use this app and we are very lucky to have found Ashley in our neighborhood.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I have watched my neighbors dog. I am always dog sitting my boyfriend’s Golden Retriever! I love teaching dogs new tricks and getting them as much activity and attention as needed! I’m currently only working weekends. Days vary as there other employees. I can make my own schedule for work most of the time if I were to have a schedule stay with your pup. I unfortunately had to put my dog to rest recently but he was so very loved for 12 years. Constantly getting walks and running around in the backyard, and MANY tummy rubs and kisses. As this time, I would not provide dog sitting in my own home, as for my parents are re doing the hardwood flooring due to the claw scratches. I treat all other dogs as if they were my own and would be more then happy to come to your house and give your dog love and attention!

“Gina has a really relaxed personality, which works well with my dog who has anxiety. She warmed up quickly to Gina and seems very comfortable around her. I really love how responsive Gina is. She reached out the day of to confirm the walk and always responds to texts quickly. She’s very respectful of the house and even took her shoes off without asking which I thought was pretty impressive. Overall she has good energy and is definitely a dog person.”

“Daniel has been working with my dog for the past few weeks, and I can’t thank him enough. He is always on time, and always messages me before he gets to the house, as well as when he leaves. As soon as he met my dog, I could tell he was trustworthy and a huge dog lover. I always feel secure knowing that he is on the way looking after my pup. Cannot recommend him enough!”

About: I have worked with animals at a boarding facility and then transferred to two veterinary hospital as a technician assistant and training tech. I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.

About: Hi! My name is Danielle. I am 35 years old and I am a very outgoing and active girl. I work full time at a cardiologist office but have a lot of free time after work and on the weekends. I am an animal lover and have had dogs my whole life. As well as caring for my own dogs, I have lots of experience watching family and friends dogs while they are away. I have experience watching dogs small to large. My first time sitting I watched 4 big dogs so don’t worry if you have more then one! ;) I am trustworthy, reliable, and flexible. You can go away knowing your pets and your home are in good hands! I will love your dogs as if they were my own and will give endless tummy rubs. I know it’s important for your pet to feel loved and cared for while you are on a vacation, or just an overnight trip so that’s why I started doing rover. I love sending pictures/videos and sending you updates just so you know they are having a great time and are comfortable while you are away. I can start as soon as possible and have no problem traveling. I hope to hear from you soon! Yours Truly, Danielle

FAQs for Dog Walking - Surf City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Surf City is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $40 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Surf City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Surf City after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Surf City. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
