About: I’ve had two dogs of my own for over 10 years, so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and understanding their needs. I’ve also dog sat for others, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing and making sure dogs are well taken care of while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student, so I work around my class schedule, but I still have plenty of availability throughout the week. Mondays I’m free before 3 PM and after 6 PM, and Wednesdays I’m available before 2 PM and after 5 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days, but I’m completely free on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I always make sure pets are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions when it comes to feeding, walks and daily routines. Having two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping their environment clean and safe.
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from judgy chihuahuas to laid-back Bernese mountain dogs. I’ve taken care of them from their playful puppy days through their senior years. I’m patient, experienced, and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, and I’m here for all of it! I currently work full-time (9am–5pm, Monday through Friday), but I’m flexible and happy to coordinate with your schedule to make sure your baby gets the care they need! I prioritize safety and trust by keeping open, honest communication. As long as you fill me in on any quirks, meds, or non-negotiables, I’ll keep things running just how they like it. And if anything feels off or out of my league, I’ll be honest, because your dog’s safety is way more important than winging it!
“Madison has been a great regular walker for our French Bulldog Pepper! She’s on time, communicative and pays attention to what Pepper needs (such as a shorter walk on a hotter day, or a refill on her water bowl.) Would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi there! My name is Megan, but I go by my middle name Jaime! I grew up with both cats and dogs. My first pet was a German Shepherd-Husky mix named Abby, and her strength could’ve pulled an arm out of its socket! She taught me so much about love and care for animals, and especially how to handle walking a big, strong dog. I have provided care to numerous dogs and cats (apart from my own) over the years. My cat, Maximus, is staunchly an only child, but I have found myself really missing canine companions, which is why I’d love to walk yours. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a flexible schedule due to still being in school, and have plenty of time for your pup! I would probably be going on a walk anyway, so I’m really looking forward to bringing canine companions with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I am very well versed in reading dogs’ cues, and will happily adhere to each dog’s individualized needs. I will never let a dog off their leash or put them in an unsafe or uncomfortable situation. Your dog is safe with me!
About: I've had four dogs in my lifetime, and have one family dog currently back at home. They have all been medium-large dogs, and I have plenty of experience with friends' smaller dogs. I consider myself very attentive and quick to solve problems, so your dogs will be very safe with me. They will also be very comfortable - I've never met a dog that didn't like me! I live next to several parks and lots of nice walking trails. I am a law school student that spends most of my time outside of class at home studying, so your pet will get lots of quality time - and always need an excuse to take a break and go for a walk. I live in a pet friendly building with no other pets at home, so it’s not at all an issue if your dog doesn’t do well with other animals.
About: I’ve always loved animals, and loved a medium sized dog in my home growing up for about 9-10 years. Since having him I’ve pet sat for friends, family, family friends as requested. I’ve watched dogs overnight and for up to 9 or so consecutive months, and I’ve watched two cats for 3 months. I’ve helped my mom care for her pitbull puppy and her pointer. Any pet I watch I will love as if they were my own; and if I’m coming for an extended stay, I make sure the house is nice, clean, and smelling good so the owner can relax as much as possible coming home. Happy to do walks, feedings, extended stays, I’m not the most experienced in grooming but am willing to get the practice in if the trust is there. Let me know what you need and I’ll do what I can to support you and your fur baby🥰. I work a lot as an actor/performer, and am in between gigs. So my schedule is primarily dedicated to pet care outside of daily responsibilities When in my clients homes I stick to their rules with their pets. So if dogs on the bed/couch are a no, I’ll respect that. My goal is to make my clients animal as comfortable as possible. I even like seeing them sometime before the scheduled visit to see how our chemistry is, though I haven’t had had any bad visits. In my home I’ll care for them in the same fashion. Make sure they’re feed, take them for walks (if they’re walkers), cuddle and make sure they feel loved.
“Sophia was great with our dog. She came on time and was very friendly. Our dog felt at ease right away. She was also flexible with our schedule. I would definitely contact her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 11 years old. My family has owned dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life and I am very experienced with taking care of them I am completely available until nov 1! Boarding, walks, you name it! After november 1, I am available after 3 on weekdays and free all weekends! In my apartment, I’ll ensure that your pets get their exercise by taking them on walks outside on the river trail! I have plenty of toys and dog treats as well!
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!
About: I've always had a dog in my life. Since a child we always had a family dog and always have loved them. I now have the best cat ever. For many years I've watched friends pets (and new furry friends made on rover). It's always fun getting to play with them, take them out for long walks, and loving them as if they were my own. Due to my full time job, I'm mostly available Friday and weekends. I know that your pet and I will have a great time together if we get the chance! Thanks! I only work four days a week so I have plenty availability. Whether it’s just a quick day trip or a long weekend getaway I can be available for your pet I always take care of a pet as if it were my own. Some animals have special needs so I always make sure I follow their directions.
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I also previously worked at a pet hospital, where I helped care for animals and became comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I’m attentive to the little things and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, meals, and companionship without rushing. I genuinely love animals and enjoy having them around, so caring for pets feels like something I naturally make time for every day. It really depends on the pet and the service. I like to stick to their normal routine as much as I can and give them whatever they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just someone around. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to give them attention and make sure they’re comfortable.
“Colin is the only person I trust with my dog Jake. Jake is 98lb and doesn’t particularly care for other dogs. I really searched for someone who would be able to physically handle a large, strong dog. Colin immediately understood the need for Jake to get more “substantial” exercise. Colin walks, runs and plays with him for a solid hour every day and I can see a big difference in Jake. Colin is also just a really nice person, trustworthy and reliable. He really loves animals and it shows!”
“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!”
“Jessie has been great and very patient with my nervous dog! She is great with communication and giving updates and pictures. I can feel very comfortable knowing my dog is in great hands and will be well taken care of.”
About: Hello, my name is Kate. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life and have been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for years. I am currently available part time in the evenings and on weekends. I have experience with walking, playing a variety of games to run off some extra energy, going on runs, and just keeping your pet company while you are away! I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes and love getting to know the personality of each dog! I also cat sit, I have experience with young cats up to senior cats. Currently, I am available in the evenings after work at 5:30pm and on weekends for walking or drop in visits. I can be flexible on timing if morning walks are needed as some days I work from home. In client’s homes, I will follow the same procedures you have in place to ensure your pet is safe. If you have any specific requests, I will follow them accordingly.
“Ella was PHENOMENAL! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and sent lots of pictures. She even went above and beyond to help us out when I made a booking error, I really appreciated her exceptional service and the care she gave to my pets. We will absolutely book again!! 10 stars!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villanova
We had a great experience with our dog walker, Morgan. She was consistently on time, which we really appreciated, and always communicated clearly and promptly, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind. Most importantly, Morgan took excellent care of our dog and treated them with genuine attention and kindness. She truly went above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.
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!
Alexandria is wonderful! She truly has a special connection with dogs. Max was so excited to see her each day. He would sit at the front door and wait for her. He was absolutely. thrilled to see her. She was always on time and was just wonderful. On the first walk there was approximately four inches of snow, and it was bitterly cold. But she still arrived on time. We recommend Alexandria without reservation. We will most certainly book her again.

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

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.
