“Alex is wonderful! Responsive, on time and really a joy to interact with and our pup Ellie just loves her too! Thank you Alex for making this transition for Ellie so much smoother. She can’t wait for her next walk with you!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am also comfortable caring for cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors and have experience managing different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary hospital and a zoo, where I learned safe handling, how to recognize signs of stress or illness, and how to maintain proper care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I’m especially comfortable with active dogs as well as providing gentle care for younger or more sensitive pets. I am also quite the green-thumb if you need your plants watered!🌸🪴🌼🌱🌻 My schedule is very open and flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, including walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in my client’s home. I am very attentive and detail-oriented, and I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and supervise pets closely during play. I pay close attention to behavior and can recognize signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and safe.
About: I have worked at PlayTime Pet Resort, a pet boarding facility. Additionally, I have experience in pet sitting and walking for families in my neighborhood. I am a full time student while playing a collegiate sport. Nights during the weekday and all day on the weekends work best for my schedule. I have a cat and dog at home who I keep active by providing a stimulating environment. Using my experience in pet sitting and walking, I can ensure that I take great care of pets while cleaning up after them.
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me
“Absolute breeze from day 1. Alejandra is a great communicator and she makes it easy to trust her with my dog. This was only my 2nd time using Rover and she made it so much easier to be able to go away and have the peace of mind that my girl’s ok. Great experience! Already rebooked for another walk!”

“Briana booked with us on short notice, assisted us during holiday travel and took great care of our older dog! She was consistently on time, made sure he had his medications and always shared photos. We appreciate her helping to keep him safe and happy while we were away.”


About: I have experience caring for my 2 kitties and helping friends and family with their cats, dogs, and even fish! I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule right now and can be consistent with pet care. I’ll be starting nursing school in evenings this fall, so I’m working and saving. I’m available most days for walks, check-ins, and sitting, and I stick to your pet’s routine! I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable. I have two cats, so I’m used to daily care and routines. I will follow instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised and stress free.
“Craig is great!! Always here on time and Higgins, my terrier, gets new route each time. This evening walk relieves a lot of stress for me and my husband- knowing that we can rely on Craig.”

About: I’ve had so many different animals in my life I guess you could say at this point I could care for a small zoo?! From rabbits to rats, to lizards to guinea pigs, to birds to hermit crabs to the tried and true cats and dogs I’ve truly cared for and have loved them all. And while I would now consider myself a dog person (hence the boop the snoot tagline). I do have a genuine love for all animals and now wish to share my experience, expertise, love and care with the animals that sometimes need a little extra while their “hoomans” have other things they need to address. I work freelance gigs in the small business space helping with back end business admin and marketing so I can truly make my own schedule which is ideal for cat and dog sitting gigs, no?! I currently have two rescues, a Siamese cat- Edgar Allan Poe (who goes by Poe) and a who knows what dog, (probably a lab/boxer mix, we’ve yet to order a DNA test), named Lucky. Both of my guys are super chill at this point in their lives and have no issues with other animals. With Lucky we take multiple daily walks and do have a fenced in yard, tho it is small and he begs for and prefers walks so it is rarely used as the primary source of going out. (Read that as I am used to and enjoy walks)
About: My family has had many dogs over the years in all shapes and sizes. I feel comfortable and enjoy being with all kinds of dogs and look forward to meeting yours! I am currently home from college and have a very flexible schedule. I am open to taking care of your pet both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, calm environment and follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether in your home or mine, I prioritize comfort, cleanliness, and constant care—with updates you can count on.
About: Hello! My name is Jess and I am a middle school teacher. I have my own corgi puppy, but would love to help out other dog parents when they need it! I have been walking and taking care of dogs for my entire life. I am located in Conshohocken and can travel. I work full time as a teacher. My schedule allows me to get home around 3:30pm. Since it is summer, I am available all day. My dog has free range in our home. We live next to a dog park and he goes there multiple times a day. We go on long walks, and he gets lots of cuddles.
About: I currently have a 6y/o Austrialian Shepherd who I have taken through advanced obedience training and intermediate agility training and we regularly go on off-leash walks and hikes in crowded areas. I also had an older Hungarian Vizsla growing up, who died at the age of 15. I am experienced with young, energetic pups, as well as senior dogs who need a little more time and TLC. I know the fundamentals of positive reinforcement dog training. Throughout highschool, I walked and cared for a few neighborhood dogs as well, one being a reactive rescue dog and the other having two puppies to care for, so am experienced with different dogs. I also know all of the best parks and trails in the area to walk, and have a harness/seatbelt setup in the back of my car to take your pup for a nice adventure there, if you'd prefer! I am a collegiate athlete home for the summer and looking for a summer job to fit in between my training sessions. I usually am booked with rowing training from 7-9AM, and 3-6PM. With enough time to care for my own pup, I am most available from 11AM-3PM but I can be flexible through some evenings, earlier mornings, or later afternoons, depending on the day! I offer care through walks and drop-in visits in your home. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine by following all owner instructions closely. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or just companionship, I adapt care to their personality and needs. I use safe leash handling on walks, stay aware of surroundings, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands!
About: I have always had a dog in my house, even now. I know it's hard to leave your dogs when heading away. I hope that I can help! I can give medication, take your dog for walks during the evening and weekends and can provide extra love when you are not around. I have had experience with dogs who are not dog friendly with others, so I am able to handle dogs that might not get along, but that doesn't mean the can't have fun throwing the ball or go for walks (I've learned where to find the walks where other dogs won't be). Any other questions, please feel free to reach out! I’m available on weekends for walks or boarding. During the week, I am available after 4pm for walks and feedings until you get home from work. We have a fenced in yard and dogs are welcome on couches and beds, in this house! I also have a 3 year old son who might be a bigger dog lover than we are, to offer additional affection!

Villanova dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

So happy we found Erica to help out twice a week taking our energetic dog for a midday walk! She’s responsive on the app, clearly loves dogs, is respectful of our home, and always leaves a picture and update after the walk. We’ve settled into a nice routine and it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work knowing Erica will be stopping in.

I never had the opportunity to meet Allison because she doesn't do first time meetings with the dog or owner, but the person who was staying at our house said she was lovely, and our dog seemed happy. She sent notes and pictures, which was nice. I only wish I had been able to meet her.
