About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you
About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.
About: I had dogs my whole life, right now I have a four year old pup who is my little side kick. I’am a life long pet lover and will treat your dog just like mine! I have experience with dog walking, I have helped out friends, family and neighbors watch and walk their dogs multiple times I work from home full time and pretty free on weekends, have a lot availability to care and can give plenty attention to your furry friend! My dog is a little dog who is very friendly with other dogs and who is up to date with all his vaccines, also have a crate if needed and a big backyard. Safety is my top priority so I will make sure your pet is well taken care of at all time!
About: As long as I can remember I've been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses, working on farms, + living with no less than 3 dogs at a time in my house. As a kid I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I took in all sorts of animals that needed to be nursed back to health from birds + snakes to donkeys + kittens. It was a little like living in a zoo + I loved every second! I rode + trained horses competitively in high school. At 16, I qualified for the junior Olympic team in equestrian eventing. I’m now a mom, my own son is 16, and I own my own photography business capturing families + pets spreading joy + gratitude. Rover is a welcome addition to that career. I absolutely LOVE what I do + am thankful to have the opportunity to support myself + my son serving other animal loving families like us. I work remotely Mondays and Fridays. Tuesday through Thursday I’m in the office 8-5pm in King of Prussia. I’m typically available most weekends but can occasionally offer weekday evening bookings. Safety is a priority for me. I aim to keep your pets routine stable and comfortable so we stick with what they know and don’t try new things until trust has been built.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I've watched many neighbors, family, and friends fur babies, alongside caring for my own dog and cats, over the years. I've even cared for a rabbit, hamster, and fish on occasion. I am no stranger to caring for pets with medical requirements, or cats and dogs who are older and need a little more patience on walks, going up stairs, or just moving around. Animals all have their own personalities, just like humans, and I treat each pet with compassion, love, and care; as if they are my own. I'm well-versed in giving cats and dogs medication; my dog takes meds every morning. I will tread your pets with kindness and respect and work with you to ensure you are comfortable with me and our working relationship. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I am able to accommodate caring for (feeding, playing, spending time with, etc) and/or walking your fur baby during the week and most weekends. I'm happy to work with you and accommodate a schedule that benefits you and your fur baby! Safety and security are top priority. I want to ensure I care for your pet(s) in a comfortable, happy, and safe manor. I would like to learn about your pet(s), how you would like me to care for them, and have an open communication throughout my time caring for your fur baby. Happiness and trust are extremely important for all parties involved!

About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.

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!
“Audrey made our first experience with Rover so great. We got into a last minute pinch for our vacation she responded quickly was very flexible to meet up. She let Adam out each morning for us and provided in detail how his morning was. I’m so grateful for her answering all my first time questions and taking such great care of Sam for the week for me. We would love to use her again in the future.”

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

About: I have experience walking dogs for regular families, as well as pet sitting both dogs and cats for extended periods of time. I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I currently work full-time, but that doesn’t stop me from giving your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m an early riser who loves starting my mornings with a walk, so I would be more than happy to stop by before work to take care of your pet. I also often have hour-long lunch breaks, which I’m more than willing to use to check in on your pets and give them some extra love and attention. I typically finish work around 3:30–4:00 PM (and around 3:00 PM on Fridays), leaving my evenings open for additional visits or walks. On weekends, I am fully available and happy to accommodate all your pet care needs! :) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and when caring for them in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to make sure they remain stress-free and happy! I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, and I remain very attentive during walks and visits to ensure a safe environment for both me and your pet! Alongside this, I also respect your home as if it were my own by keeping things clean, secure, and organized.

“Kathy is wonderful. She is a real dog lover! She stopped in to visit with my puppy and walk him, play with him, etc. I felt very comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my puppy. She even texted me photos of him during her visit. Highly recommended.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wallingford
Emma truly was incredible. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of our two WILD doggos while we were away. Our big dog is very anxious and she did great dealing with his behaviors. If she can take care of our two crazy rescue dogs, I am sure she will also do great with all dogs! So happy we found Emma. :) Highly recommend!

Caroline was fantastic! She took very good care of our three cats and our dog. There were no issues and she sent great pictures of our pets after every visit. Communication was great and she provided detailed updates each visit. We were very comfortable and pleased with Caroline taking care of our pets! Thanks!

Karen was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She is reliable, caring and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dogs were so well cared for and I could see how happy and content they were in the photos! Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone!

Catherine is great! My fur babies think so too. They are relaxed when I come home and I can tell they've had a good day and not been stressed. She sends me pictures when she comes in to feed and play with them and my cat doesn't hide. I would 100% recommend her to someone looking for a sitter.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wallingford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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.

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 sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
