Genuinely cannot give anything but the highest recommendations. We needed a dog walker unexpectedly on New Year's Eve, and Lauren not only responded to the booking request quickly, she accepted it even though she's never had us as clients or even met us. Her communication is clear, quick, helpful and even though I was a little scattered during the handoff she handled everything professionally and with flexibility. Seriously couldn't have had a better experience.

Amazing service. She came out to meet my dog prior to the first walk I booked, and was very polite. professional, and thorough with her questions. I felt very confident in her abilities- and let’s be real, we are all a little nervous leaving our pets in the care of strangers, especially for the first time. She was also very flexible when some last minute things popped up and I needed her help with the pup on very short notice. 10/10.

I just used Kristine to walk my dogs this week since my husband had to travel for work. She is super sweet and even did a meet and greet prior with me and the pups. She took great care of my dogs and when needed, I will most definitely book her again!

We needed a walker last minute and Wade came through and walked us through our first time using Rover! Wade is very professional and it’s immediately clear he knows how to handle dogs. He also brought in the packages, thank you Wade!

Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and knew I always wanted to work with them. I’ve always cared for the pets I had growing up which included dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I then started watching friends and family members dogs and cats when they were away. One of my first jobs was at a boarding facility where I cared for and walked dogs! I have a flexible schedule due to the fact that I am home everyday caring for my 2 year old son! I would love to bring him along for walks and drop ins! My dog gets walked everyday followed by a relaxing rest stop by the river in our backyard! We love to be outdoors as much as possible!

About: Hi! I’m 30 and I have been pet sitting on Rover for over three years for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. I may be petite but don’t be fooled! I am an aerialist in my spare time, and so I have a lot of upper body strength and can handle large, strong dogs as well as high energy dogs who need long, brisk walks for proper exercise. I have experience with older pets and am comfortable administering medications. Let me know if you would like me to water plants, turn on/off lights, or any other tasks while you are away. Whether you need an extra walk for a feisty pooch, care during your family vacation, or long-term assistance, feel free to contact me for a meet and greet. During COVID era, your comfort is of upmost importance. Please let me know if you would like me to wear a mask indoors, wipe down door handles, etc. to ensure your safety. I work full-time in the animal welfare field, so I am most available for weekend and long weekend pet sitting. I can do occasional weekday walks as well. Safety and mental wellbeing are my top priorities. I always make sure dogs are leashed before going out the door and avoid other dogs and people during walks, just to be safe.

Vanessa is awesome! My Sophie loved her from the first second of our meet and greet. While we were away Vanessa was on time and very thorough with every walk. The Rover app is great! No doubt when we need a dog walker again Vanessa will be out #1 choice. I highly recommend Vanessa for your pet care needs while you are away. You will be so happy knowing your best friend is in such capable and loving hands.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, size, and energy level—from anxious rescues to giant goofballs. As a current volunteer at ACCT Philly, I work hands-on with all types of dogs daily, focusing on leash control, confidence-building, and reading body language. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me for overnight stays, multi-dog households, and high-energy pups because I stay calm, structured, and patient no matter what. I’m comfortable with puppy routines, senior care, and special diets, and I always make sure every dog gets the perfect mix of play, structure, and comfort. Whether it’s a jog around the block, a slow senior stroll, or bedtime snuggles—I tailor my care to your dog’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, or overnights, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evening cuddles, I’ll build my day around your pet’s routine. Safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, medications, and boundaries—so they feel right at home. I keep a close eye on body language and behavior to ensure they’re happy and stress-free, and I always send photo updates so you can see how well they’re doing. Whether it’s cats curling up for quiet time or dogs burning off energy, I create a safe, loving environment built on trust.

Tiara was great at checking in before her first walk with Rocky. She arrived and asked good questions about where to find all of his things, and how to handle running into other dogs on their walk. Rocky had lunch, a nice walk, and got to play with all of his puzzle toys with Tiara! We’ve already booked our next walks with her.

About: Our home has been a foster refuge since the 90's, I have had the privilege of assisting hundreds of pups and many cats find their loving homes. My experience with so many personalities and individual canines has given me the confidence to offer quality care for dogs in my area. I especially enjoy caring for senior dogs, and I can also support your type of positive training modification. I have been through several training classes with my dogs. I have 3 dogs that have earned their AKC Canine Good Citizen awards. Recently, my dog Willow, has received her AKC Farm Dog Title. With the fosters that have come to me, I have worked with MANY types of canines - all sorts of shenanigans...you bet!! I plan my day around walking the dogs, depending on your pets needs, the weather, and your schedule, my day is flexible. Pet care is my top priority I cannot have pets staying at my home at this time, but hopefully in the near future! Right now I am offering in home drop in visits only.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals of my own as long as I can remember, I started dog and cat sitting in my teen years and pride myself on treating your pets as if they were my own. I’m currently free to give all the attention possible to your animals as I am a veteran with a pension, I love walking with multiple dogs and would treat them as my own. I have a dog of my own who loves other dogs so your dog would get play dates and park trips as well as regular walks, feedings, and any medications as necessary:
