About: I have been a lifetime pet owner, with all different kinds of pets including geckos, dogs, cats including puppies and kittens. I love to take dogs on walks, hikes, and even up to 3 mile runs depending on what you'd like for your dog! I have worked with all types of dogs including those with behavioral issues as well. I currently own two cats and a dog, so reliable pet care and dog walking are always apart of my daily routine! I enjoy taking care of my pets in all fashions like walking, brushing, feeding, and playing. I am a very flexible person, so pet care in your home could be what you would want from me! I bring my own small training treats, but normally would expect pet owners to provide leashes/harnesses so their pet is comfortable and used to these accessories.
About: I have always loved dogs and started caring for my friends and family’s when I was 12! Since then, I’ve found myself watching multiple dogs, staying the week at the pet owner’s home, and routine check ins for walks, feeding, and to let out. I have experienced strong and responsive dogs, so I feel confident caring for any type of dog! My part-time job does not start until June 22, so until then I have a wide open schedule! I also have my own car, so transportation will not be an issue! I treat every home as my own, leaving it the way I found it. I also care for the dogs as I would care for my own, and make sure to follow any specific instructions!

About: I am able to give medication and medical shots to pets, I have experience with this as my one dog has diabetes and requires two shots a day. My other dog is a reactive dog as well so I have some experience in trying to handle a reactive dog. I also have had multiple puppies and senior dogs that have exposed me to the different type of care and attention they need, especially when the owners are away. I have experience with dog sitting since I watched my neighbors dogs for years now and have previously worked with one of their dogs that had special needs. I am in the summer before I leave for college so I am home and able to watch the pets at pretty much anytime needed. I am busy with softball tournaments some weekends, but the weekends I do not have that I am around in the area mainly at anytime. I am able to crate a dog, take a walk friendly dog out on walks, feed them, administered medication if required, and play with the dog.

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

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.

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
