Dog Walking Trooper

“Natalie was amazing with my dog!! I felt so at ease knowing she was there to walk Lily. She brought water on long walks and took plenty of pictures and my dog seemed so happy!”

“Rosie took my dog for a walk for the first time recently. My dog is extremely wary of new people, but Rosie managed to win her favor. She sent me lots of status updates and a video of my dog playing with her VERY happily, which is always a great sign. I'm sure we'll be using Rosie again in the future!”

“This is who you want! Rachel is fantastic. Great at communicating her arrival time, pet behavior and sending pictures, etc. As one of our first experiences with Rover, she put our minds at ease and comfortable with trusting our dog to a stranger for the first time. Thanks, Rachel!”

“Sofia is an excellent care taker for my dog. She’s wonderful, sends me updates and her communication is outstanding. I love that I get to see photos of my dog especially when I’m traveling. Keeps my heart at ease”

About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and my genuine passion for their well-being. Since I was 5 years old, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, fish, and more, giving me a strong understanding of different pets' needs and personalities. In the past 2 years I have been working at a dog wellness/ grooming center, where I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I also previously volunteered with the Elmwood Park Zoo as well as a local cat shelter which helped deepen my knowledge of animal care and behavior. I'm comfortable caring for puppies & kittens , adult dogs & cats , and senior pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet's unique routine. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and care while their owners are away. I now work remotely, so I am super flexible with my hours , I’m pretty much available anytime. (with notice if it’s going to be late ) Your pet's safety and comfort come first. Working in dog wellness has given me experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I provide reliable care, follow routines closely, and treat every dog as if they were my own.

“I was initially nervous to get a dog walker, as I have never done so before. We did our Meet & Greet and Tim was so nice. My dog, Minnie, immediately liked him and when he came inside my cat, Nyx, came right up to him with his tail straight up in a "Hello" - which was a big surprise because Nyx doesn't normally like strangers! He was accommodating when it came to putting on Minnie's booties because of the weather. Overall, he exceeded my expectations and will happily have him as our walker again!”

About: I am a veterinary nurse who has pet sat all types of animals since I was 15. I can also administer all types of medications. Including fluids, insulin and much more including cuddles and comfort. I also able to provide nail trims and much more!! I work full time however during the weekends I make sure your pets have the best time. During week while I'm not at work they get all the attention they deserve! I am constantly watching them at your house and treat your fur babies like they are mine own. I am also able to provide CPR and first aid to fur babies if needed. !

About: Hi! I have been caring for dogs and cats for my friends, family, and neighbors for 15+ years including walking, feeding, playtime, overnight stays, dog park visits, belly rubs & cuddle time, etc. I signed up for Rover in February 2024 to meet other pet owners in the area who are looking for excellent pet care and it has been an awesome experience so far! When taking care of someone's pet, I treat them like my own fur baby with lots of love and attention. I also send photos and updates to provide comfort and peace of mind as I know how hard it is to be away from your pets. Knowing they are happy and well taken care of can help ease the owner's stress of being away from home. Also, I have a 6-year-old Cavapoo who loves to hang out, play, and nap with other pets! I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I also have an indoor camera so I can check in on pets in my home at any time if I run to a meeting or an errand. My schedule is flexible (days, afternoons, nights, and weekends). I can visit your home once or multiple times in the same day, or I can care for your pet in my home. I live in a private townhome community where many residents walk their dogs. We are a very dog-friendly neighborhood! I am also a few steps away from the Schuylkill River Trail.

“Jodi was great walking my dog Toby. Was easy to communicate with and took him out 3 days in a row even with the high heat. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 25 years and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Siberian Huskies and have spent my life around animals, both as a pet owner and caregiver. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs! My experience includes walks, feeding, administering oral medications, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or well-being while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums, including water quality monitoring and tank care, as well as basic indoor plant care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible part-time work schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active through walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking are a rewarding part of my routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs, from feeding schedules and walks to medications and favorite activities. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.

“Melissa helped us out on short notice and was amazing! She was on time and cared for Lady like she was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”

“My dog Loki had a fantastic time going for walks and romps in the fields with Lauren. He's a high energy puppy and I enjoyed seeing his daily updates Lauren provided, that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Definitely will use her services again. Thanks a ton Lauren.”

About: Looking for a cozy, home-like environment for your dog, whether it’s for the day or an extended stay? Look no further! I’ve been a lifelong pet lover, having cared for both dogs and cats. I’m also a proud volunteer with Home at Last Dog Rescue. My dachshund-beagle mix, Dixie, joined our family in 2020, and my beagle, Emily, was my very first foster fail! Our dogs love camping and exploring the great outdoors with us. Your dog will feel right at home in my fenced yard, a safe and fun space for running and playing. My senior pups will love having the extra company! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! My home is perfect for extended stays! I’ll keep your pet on a consistent schedule to maintain their familiar routine. While I work in the office three days a week, your pet will be safe and comfortable, either relaxing in a crate or spending time with my dogs in a designated area of the house. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who will enjoy keeping your dog company. If you’re comfortable with crate training, your dog can use a crate for quiet time when needed. On the days I work from home, my dogs stay with me in the same room, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks or zooming around the backyard. I also have a cat who tends to keep a low profile around new furry friends. However, if your dog enjoys chasing cats, my home may not be the best fit.

About: Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with their pets because of my exceptional communication skills. My superpower in the pet sitting world is providing frequent updates and photos that allow owners to feel completely at ease while they’re away. Alongside my energy and ability to comfort animals, I ensure that both pets and their owners are well cared for and connected during their time apart. Being self-employed in my primary career gives me the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet sitting as a cherished side hustle. This freedom allows me to offer personalized and attentive care on my own schedule, ensuring that your pets receive the best attention and love while you're away. My unique ability to balance both roles means you can trust that your furry friends are in capable and caring hands. When visiting pets at their own home, I focus on maintaining their regular routine and providing comfort in a familiar setting. My services include: -Daily Care Routine: I follow the established schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring pets experience minimal disruption to their daily lives. -Comfort and Security: I make sure pets feel safe and secure by adhering to their usual routines and providing a calming presence while their owners are away. -Frequent Updates: I offer regular updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pets' well-being and activities, giving them peace of mind while they’re away. -Household Care: In addition to pet care, I can handle minor household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the home remains secure.

“Like Julian right away. As soon as he walked in the door , he had an immediate connection with our puppy, Oscar. Oscar has his moments, and sometimes does not listen. Not the case with Julian. Oscar listened to Julian and followed his direction immediately. My husband and I were very impressed. After the meet and greet, and we hired Julian on the spot.. The 30 minute walks are documented with a map, photos, activities, and comments. Julian was punctual and conscientious. I highly recommend Rover.com. More than that, I would recommend Julian to anyone.”

My family and I have been fostering for a non profit organization since 2015. With fosters the ages of 6 weeks to 14 years old. I have always been an animal lover.

I previously worked for an animal hospital as a kennel attendant I had the best time caring and playing with each visitor we had. I have experience offering check in visits and walking dogs in any weather (snow, rain, cold, hot). Thank you for your time and I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies! I’m available for walks Monday- Friday! I currently have a flexible schedule, we can discuss specific times that work best for the both of us. Even if you have a fenced in yard I will be outside keeping an eye on your pet. If you do not have a fenced in yard I can take your dog on walks to give them time to use the bathroom. If your pet needs to be crated I will be sure to give them a treat or a toy to have with them.
