About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly understand that every pup is different. I trained my own stubborn Yorkie with patience and consistency, and I currently care for my senior Golden Retriever who has hip issues so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and gentle, slower-paced seniors. Whether your dog needs structured walks, positive reinforcement, or a calm and patient pace, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy every step of the way. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure you feel completely comfortable while your pup is in my care. I’d love to meet your best friend! 🐶💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prioritize staying active and structured in my days — I regularly go to the gym and attend Bible study — which allows me to consistently plan walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests when possible. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust is, and I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own.

Emalee saved the day! I was running late to get Goku out due to inclement weather and messaged Emalee at the last minute! Yay! She was able to cover his afternoon walk. Great job as always! Much appreciated!

Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs as a child and adult, my own dogs as well as those of family and friends. I’d love to help your pet stretch their legs, burn some energy or go on a casual walk My remote with schedule is very flexible so I’m able to come care for your dog on the schedule that fits their needs as well as yours. I can feed your pet, have some play time, take them out to use the bathroom, or go on a walk. If they are crated when you aren’t home, I can crate them too.

About: Hi! My name is Kacey, and I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs that need a little extra patience and attention. As a caregiver in my professional life, I’m dependable, responsible, and understand the importance of providing safe, compassionate care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and treated like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 I don’t mind shedding! With 3 dogs here full time I’m already vacuuming at least once a day!! I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. My daily routine allows for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When I am away from home, a family member is always there, so pets are never left alone for long periods of time. In my home, pets are treated like family and are given plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. While my yard is not fenced, I have leads available and always prioritize safety during outdoor time. I can follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and potty breaks to help them feel comfortable and at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and preferences to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I am just starting my Rover journey and cannot be more excited! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn what is best for your pet. I will take care of your fur baby, go for walks, and even take them to dog parks if you like. I have two dogs of my own and a cat that believes he owns the house, lol. My schedule is flexible, and I can drop in and accept last-minute bookings. I am currently looking for my next adventure, and why not do something that I enjoy? I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans

About: Hello! I'm excited to be with rover part time. I've been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 12 and I've been a dog groomer since 2018! And a dog mom since I've been in diapers 🥰 I am a full-time dog groomer with two dogs. I noticed how much it benefited them to have long walks even with a fenced in backyard. I want to be able to give this back to people in the community with their dogs. I can do early mornings and evenings. No pet sitting just dog walking 🥰. I can provide a harness or leash or will use ones provided. I am very familiar with proper walking techniques.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Symerton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,856 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Symerton. 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 your Symerton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Symerton.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Symerton. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
