About: Dependable dog sitter. Love all types of dogs. Our dog is part of the family and yours will be too! Lexi is our 5 year old Labradoodle and she very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! My kids are grown so I have more time on my hands. We have never had to put Lexi in a kennel thanks to family and friends and want to help make sure other dogs can stay at home too! Looking to make dogs feel safe and happy is my goal. I love to take dogs on long walks and play ball with them. We have a large yard and lots of dog toys! Have helped dogs with invisible fence training and learning not to pull when on walks.
“Thank you for taking care of our Maddie. Margaret was kind enough to meet our girl before she came to walk and care for her. I loved the pictures and information received. My pup has a lot of separation anxiety and we were glad to have Margaret here to take care of her.”
“Nicole does a fantastic job, and on meeting her it was obvious why: she is a pet owner and very in tune with what is important to other pet owners. She has been walking my large, high-energy dog and doing a fantastic job, not to mention giving fantastic updates. I really appreciate the experience I have when Nicole is my sitter, she's great. She is really communicative, professional, proactive, and all-around does an awesome job. I will definitely book her again, and recommend her to other pet parents.”
About: I grew up in a household with many animals and have always loved walking our dogs and taking care of the cats and other animal friends. I would love to care for your pets and give them a special moment in their day and help you remove one thing off the to-do list. Our lives get very busy and for pet-owners, having an extra hand here and there can be very beneficial. As a college student, I am using Rover to help with finances during the semesters. Mixing physical exercise with hanging out with your pet for some time sounds like the perfect activity for me! I hope to be able to assist you with your pet needs. Best, Sieira I am currently a college student at West Chester University and a part-time employee at Wawa, so my availability depends on the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am able to be booked for walks or drop ins from 11:30am until 5pm. Saturdays I am only available in the afternoon, from 4pm to 8pm. Sundays I am available anytime requested in the morning until 5pm! I always ensure the pet is comfortable on walks, offering plenty of sniff breaks and giving them lots of water afterwards. For drop ins, I would love to hang out with your pet and allow for some fun socialization when they need it! I always do a temperature check on what the pet is feeling before taking action, as every animal is different and has various needs.
“Max is awesome! She is sweet with my doggy, she leaves messages every time she walks him to update me and takes lots of pictures. She has also befriended my shy cats! Thankful to have her take care of my babies;)”
About: My beloved pet Cookie just passed away at age 18. I gave her plenty of love and care and will do the same for your dog/s. Can’t wait to snuggle with your pet and treat him or her like Family. I live in the Garnet Valley School District and have lots of time to give your dog happy hellos, soft snuggles and loyal Friendship. I have experience in letting dogs out from at their home and taking dogs for walks when owners are away on vacation. I love making dogs happy with kind words, food/treats, sitting next to them and rubbing their belly. My home is perfect for boarding because I live in a quiet, traffic free area and it safe to walk or board your adorable pet. I also have a gated deck to enjoy fresh air when the weather is nice. If your preference is to leave your furry friend in your home, I would gladly come out to your home to look after your pet/s in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for about 10 years now. I have worked with some police officers and with world famous dog trainers. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and will be more than happy to spend time with yours. I love to play and go on long walks. I am more than happy and willing to spend time with your pet all day. I can provide great references as well. I work full time hours but I only work 14 days a month so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I have my own cat at home so I understand how much our pets mean to us. I offer plenty of walks/playtime to keep your animals happy and healthy!
About: My laberdoodle, Cody, passed away about a year and a half ago. We brought him home at 6 weeks old and had the opportunity to spend 13 amazing years with him. Within those 13 years, I gained the exposure and knowledge to care for a dog during all life cycles— puppy and senior. Cody also had epilepsy, so I am familiar with giving medication and what to look for/ warning signs in dogs with epilepsy and senior dogs. I am also a dog walker/sitter for a beautiful 3 year old rescue named Wheezie. Spending time with her has brought so much joy to my life. My schedule is very open right now and I’m extremely flexible so please feel free to message me for drop-ins, house sitting, or last minute bookings! I am also extremely active and would love to take your dogs for a walk and get my steps! Looking forward to chatting! I am currently in between jobs and looking to do something in the meantime! I’d like to combine my love for animals and walking whilst doing something flexible to my schedule. I treat all animals as if they’re my own. Always respecting the dogs space and property is #1. I have a fenced in yard with a pool if they need to come back here for any reason!
About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I've cared for pets of my own for the past 10 years. I'm comfortable giving basic medications to both dogs and cats, including pills and simple doses mixed into food. I know every dog is different: some want a brisk walk, some want to sniff every mailbox, and some just need a potty break and some company. I pay attention to each pet's routine, energy level, and quirks, and I follow your instructions exactly, whether that's feeding, meds, or house rules. You'll get a quick update and photos after every visit, so you know your pet is happy and cared for. I'm available during the workday, which makes me a good fit if you need a midday walk or a check-in while you're at the office. I can do regular weekly visits or one-off drop-ins when your schedule changes. I'm flexible and responsive, so reach out and we can set up a routine that works for you and your pet. All of my care happens in your home, so your pet stays comfortable in familiar surroundings. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, gates closed, and everything left the way I found it. On walks I always use a secure leash and keep your dog under control around traffic, other dogs, and people. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet before booking so you and your pet can get to know me first.
“Ms. Erica was so sweet! My pups just loved her upon first introduction. She is very easy going and very thorough. I loved the updates and pictures! She also brought in a large package that was delivered early inside the house (thank you) Would love for you to take care of King and Kween in the future!!! 🤗🥰”
“Ella is fantastic. She is so sweet and kind and really connects with our dog. My wife and I can tell Ella really cares for our dog. She is great at communicating and is always on time. We highly recommend Ella.”

I've had an English Mastiff, Puggle, and I currently have a Pug mix. I'm currently working remotely at home, so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups!

I will care for and love your babies just like my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out & ask! Between my fiancé’s and my work schedules, your pups won’t be alone for more than 4 hours at a time, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day.

Janelle is very friendly, patient, and helpful! My dog is usually nervous around people she doesnt know but she warmed right up to her immediately and enjoyed her walks. Communication was great and the overall experience was pleasant. I look forward to booking with Janelle again in the future(:

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

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.

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.
