“Laura helped us out at the last minute and did a great job with our dog. Our dog doesn’t always feel comfortable with people right away but he gravitated to Laura’s warmth and friendliness!”
“We love Carol and my very picky Bishop adores her and offers her a toy every time he sees her. Carol is just amazing and we look forward to seeing her for our weekly walks. Sincerely, Bishop and family.”
“Angela is such a wonderful and trustworthy person. It’s so comforting to know that our elder doggie Ginger is being so well taken care of. We had last minute plans and Angela was able to take Ginger for a walk to her favorite park and provided great pictures! We highly recommend Angela - my go to Ginger sitter!”
About: I have had dogs all my life, and have been trusted to care for my family’s, neighbors’ and friends’ puppies and dogs since I was 10. I have had dogs that have needed surgery and rehabilitation and actively participated in their recovery. I have cared for senior dogs and cats with various conditions that needed special care. I have also had experience with puppies and their unique needs, including the importance of a set routine and carrying over any training they are involved in during our time together. I work PRN and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. As a licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and accustomed to entering clients’ homes with professionalism. I understand the importance of trust, communication, and careful observation, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I will be more than happy to walk your dog, play with them in your home or yard, feed them, make sure they have clean water, give them their medication if needed, and of course provide them with lots of love and attention!
“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”
“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”
“Craig is the best walker we could have found- prompt, reliable and a nice guy. Rover is very good and sends all related info all the time. Higgins Stands at the door waiting for his special walk!!”
About: I have devoted my life to learning about animal behavior and enrichment, and I am always eager to use this knowledge to give any pet I care for the best time possible. I have cared for several species over the course of my life, including dogs, cats, fish, rodents and more. I am also someone who is very passionate about dog training using fun, reward-focused techniques to build a strong relationship and help work through any challenges a pup may have. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters, where I cared for both dogs and cats through cleaning their enclosures, walking them, playing with them and ensuring their needs were met. Overall, I have a very well-rounded knowledge of what it takes to go above and beyond for any pet I’m working with. I am currently in college and I plan for pet sitting to be my major professional focus during this time, so rest assured that your pet will be my top priority when it comes to my work schedule! Because of my intense love for animals, I am always happy and willing to fit any pet into my daily routine and I try to keep an open schedule to accommodate your care needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority in all situations. Whether I am in your home, going for a walk, or just checking in, all of my energy will go to making sure that your pet is having the best time possible in a kind, supportive environment. Every pet I look after is treated with the same amount of love and care that I give my own on a daily basis.
About: My entire life I have been taking care of dogs. Since the moment I was born there has always been a dog present. What sets me apart is my personalized approach to dog sitting, with a focus on both physical and emotional well-being. I offer specialized care for puppies, including basic training and socialization, as well as extra attention for senior dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. With experience in handling dogs of all ages, I tailor my services to meet each dog’s unique needs—whether it’s extra playtime, administering medication, or simply providing a calm, loving presence. Your dog will not only be well cared for but also treated like family. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina, so my schedule does change every semester. Currently I have classes from Monday/Wednesday 11:15-2pm, Tuesday/Thursday 10:05-11:30 and Friday 1-2pm. They are back to back classes and I’m only gone for 2.5 hours max at a time. I have a car down here so it’s easy for me to get back and forth quickly. On weekends I have full availability. I live in a dog-friendly home with three responsible roommates who all have experience caring for dogs. While I am the primary caregiver and will handle feeding, walks, and overall supervision, my roommates also love animals and help provide extra company and comfort. I have a spacious upstairs room where dogs can stay comfortably, and both our front and back doors are secure and locked most of the time to ensure safety at all times. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment to help your dog feel relaxed and at home. My goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where your dog gets plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of and trained dogs since I was 10. Friends and Family come to me with dog sitting needs I’m reliable and am comfortable with large and small dogs. I am currently working from home at a hybrid job and occasionally have to leave the house for a monthly meeting. Dogs make life better. I take the dogs out to play outside and throw a ball for them, they usually rest after all that, and I give them a little training and alot of love during the day. I walk them in a few different parks so they’re always entertained. The dogs hang out with me all day and are fed as per their owners request.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and friends for the past 5 years. I am a full-time teacher, and I pet sit in my spare time! I am responsible and good at communing with pet parents. Also, I am used to dealing with high-energy dogs. I have a 2-and-a-half year old Goldendoodle! I am a full-time teacher. I am typically available to pet sit nights and weekends. During the summer, I am free on Wednesday and Thursdays! I will follow all specific instructions when your dog stays with us. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can provide frequent walks if your dog stays with us! Our Goldendoodle is very friendly and would love to meet your dog before they stay with us.
About: Hi! I am a huge animal lover and I’ve been dog walking on and off the apps for years now. I also have my own dog at home. Let me know if you’re at work or away and need some help with yours! I take care of my dog very well and when she’s settled she’s okay with taking a nap while I go walk more dogs! I love staying busy during the week especially! I would come to your house and take your dog out or on a walk in your neighborhood. I’ll pick up their poop and dispose of it properly. If you would like I can take a picture of your dog while we walk. I can feed your dog and fill their water. I also do drop-ins if your dog just needs a little company or wants to go in the backyard.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Providence
Sara was an absolute godsend, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Our animals adored her from the very beginning. She is patient, kind, easygoing, calming, and exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your beloved pets. One of our dogs, Lori, came from an extreme hoarding situation where she lived surrounded by floor-to-ceiling boxes with only a small path to move around. As a result, she struggles with anxiety and can become very vocal, howling, barking, and practically screaming when she’s excited or overwhelmed. I was honestly mortified and worried it would be too much for someone to handle. Sara never once made me feel judged or embarrassed. She continually reassured me that it was no problem and handled Lori with incredible patience, compassion, and understanding. Sara helped me more than she knows this week. Knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. By the end of her stay, it was clear how much the dogs loved her. On their final walk together, our Golden Retriever, Tully, was absolutely thrilled to see her, and that told me everything I needed to know. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, gentle, reliable, and genuinely gifted with animals, Sara is the person you want. We will absolutely be booking with her again.
Megan was absolutely fantastic with our dog! We made a last-minute booking with her and she was extremely professional and understanding, and really went above and beyond in helping walk our dog who is definitely looking forward to seeing her again. We're very grateful and would highly recommend!
I recently moved here from the west coast for work and quickly realized i needed help looking after my pup while i was away during the daytime. Nicole quickly arranged a meet and got my dog, spits, on her schedule. She has excellent animal skills and has been my saving grace. I highly recommend her for your pets needs.

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 Upper Providence. 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.

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 Upper Providence. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
