Dog Walking West Norriton

About: I have great experience in dog handling, training, walking, and sitting both in groups and individually. I also hold a certification in Canine & Feline CPR/First Aid from Pet Emergency Education. I am highly vigilant of behavioral cues and feel my best when I am around animals. I regularly go for long distance walks and do barbell strength training to ensure I am strong enough to keep your pup safe. I also have experience with kitten care as I raised 2 litters! I am a stay-at-home wife so I am available anytime Monday through Saturday for your pet's needs! I know the Norristown area quite well as to ensure shady, safe walking areas for your pet. I am Canine & Feline CPR/First Aid Certified by Pet Emergency Education. If pet-sitting or overnight stays are needed, I always listen attentively for owner preferences. Any specifications regarding food, medication, bathroom breaks can be ensured. I also have experience providing ear drops and pills to dogs, and bottle feeding for kittens.

“Rachel is great! We have an anxious rescue dog, and she immediately put him at ease. He’s not the easiest to walk, and she handled him like a pro. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I have been caring for dogs and cats for my friends, family, and neighbors for 15+ years including walking, feeding, playtime, overnight stays, dog park visits, belly rubs & cuddle time, etc. I signed up for Rover in February 2024 to meet other pet owners in the area who are looking for excellent pet care and it has been an awesome experience so far! When taking care of someone's pet, I treat them like my own fur baby with lots of love and attention. I also send photos and updates to provide comfort and peace of mind as I know how hard it is to be away from your pets. Knowing they are happy and well taken care of can help ease the owner's stress of being away from home. Also, I have a 6-year-old Cavapoo who loves to hang out, play, and nap with other pets! I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I also have an indoor camera so I can check in on pets in my home at any time if I run to a meeting or an errand. My schedule is flexible (days, afternoons, nights, and weekends). I can visit your home once or multiple times in the same day, or I can care for your pet in my home. I live in a private townhome community where many residents walk their dogs. We are a very dog-friendly neighborhood! I am also a few steps away from the Schuylkill River Trail.

“Jacob is great!!! He has a great personality, he's was really good with my dog and very caring. Great communication. He sent me a really nice update after walking Lucas. Highly highly recommended. He's the BEST!!!!! I'll definitely keep working with him.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had seven dogs and six cats, so caring for pets was a part of my everyday life. From feeding and grooming to playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention, I learned early on what it takes to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for mice, turtles, and fish, giving me experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I’ve always had pets throughout my life, and caring for animals has never felt like a chore, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I also spend time feeding and observing backyard birds, which reflects my love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or another beloved pet, I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Although I have an unfenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. We also have a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks that are perfect for walks and exercise. If your pet is crate trained or you prefer they be crated when unattended or at bedtime, I’m happy to accommodate that routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own.

About: Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs of all sizes and personalities. Since I was a kid, I was always the first to help my neighbors and friends with dog sitting or walking. I can’t help the bond I have with our furry best friends! I still help my family and friends with any dog sitting needs to this day! I work from home Monday-Friday and have availability during lunch to assist with playtime or walks. For daily/overnight stays, I can work from your home. I will make sure to keep a close eye on your fur baby as well as give them lots of love and a friendly presence to be around!

“Jodi was great walking my dog Toby. Was easy to communicate with and took him out 3 days in a row even with the high heat. Highly recommend!”

“Rosie took my dog for a walk for the first time recently. My dog is extremely wary of new people, but Rosie managed to win her favor. She sent me lots of status updates and a video of my dog playing with her VERY happily, which is always a great sign. I'm sure we'll be using Rosie again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and my genuine passion for their well-being. Since I was 5 years old, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, fish, and more, giving me a strong understanding of different pets' needs and personalities. In the past 2 years I have been working at a dog wellness/ grooming center, where I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I also previously volunteered with the Elmwood Park Zoo as well as a local cat shelter which helped deepen my knowledge of animal care and behavior. I'm comfortable caring for puppies & kittens , adult dogs & cats , and senior pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet's unique routine. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and care while their owners are away. I now work remotely, so I am super flexible with my hours , I’m pretty much available anytime. (with notice if it’s going to be late ) Your pet's safety and comfort come first. Working in dog wellness has given me experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I provide reliable care, follow routines closely, and treat every dog as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around my whole life and knew from a very young age that i was meant to be apart of changing an animals life in a positive and proactive way. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I am also a veterinary technician! so pet care is apart of my everyday routine. I have 2 very friendly dogs and 2 very friendly cats that get along with anyone and anything. I can walk them around my neighborhood!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs. I have a 12-year-old diabetic chocolate Lab who is not just our family dog, but my best friend, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving pets extra care and attention. Caring for a senior dog with medical needs has taught me responsibility and how important routines are. I’ve also dog sat for family and friends many times. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are getting plenty of care, attention, and love while they’re away. I am currently unemployed, so I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, or simply keeping them company, I can easily adjust my day around their needs. In my home or your home, I understand that every pet is different. So I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, or special care needs. My main focus is making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible!

About: Looking for a cozy, home-like environment for your dog, whether it’s for the day or an extended stay? Look no further! I’ve been a lifelong pet lover, having cared for both dogs and cats. I’m also a proud volunteer with Home at Last Dog Rescue. My dachshund-beagle mix, Dixie, joined our family in 2020, and my beagle, Emily, was my very first foster fail! Our dogs love camping and exploring the great outdoors with us. Your dog will feel right at home in my fenced yard, a safe and fun space for running and playing. My senior pups will love having the extra company! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! My home is perfect for extended stays! I’ll keep your pet on a consistent schedule to maintain their familiar routine. While I work in the office three days a week, your pet will be safe and comfortable, either relaxing in a crate or spending time with my dogs in a designated area of the house. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who will enjoy keeping your dog company. If you’re comfortable with crate training, your dog can use a crate for quiet time when needed. On the days I work from home, my dogs stay with me in the same room, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks or zooming around the backyard. I also have a cat who tends to keep a low profile around new furry friends. However, if your dog enjoys chasing cats, my home may not be the best fit.

“Kathleen is amazing, she’s our go to and love working with her! Super responsive and spams us (in a good way) with pics of the pups on their walks and during free play. 💯 recommend!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My family has been rescuing dogs, mostly pitbulls, forever. My mom also volunteers at a nearby rescue that we occasionally foster from. I've recently found my love for cats when I moved in with my roommate, who owns 4 cats! At this point I have cared for animals of all sizes and ages. I am a true animal lover at heart, and plan to rescue as many animals as possible in the future. I currently work as a special education aide at a high school, so I have my summer off! I don't travel much in the summer and am very much a "home body". I am open to day/night visits and over night home stays. I will not be available for care in my own house as I live with a German Shepard and 4 cats. I am very comfortable caring for pets in a clients home. I am also very comfortable walking pets on a leash. I am very flexible and can fit any pets needs!

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.

“I just starting a new job and was not going to be able to come home at lunch to walk my pups myself, Rover made it super fast in helping me locate Julain. Within hours after requesting service he was at my apartment walking Bella and Tanner. Couldn’t have been anymore painless!! Thank You!!”

About: I don't have any crazy special certifications or experience but I have loved dogs, my entire life I had a beagle growing up names snickers.. i was young but I swear that was the most stubborn dog ever. Due to school and work, I was not able to get my own.Dog until I was in my 30s. Izzy is my ride or die soul dog. For the last 5 years, I have been fostering and volunteering with various rescues in the area. When I have some downtime. But day to day i am a working professional single dog mom seeking additional puppy play dates... for me and my pup Izzy. I honestly just do rover on the side as an excuse to get off my behind and play with some local fur friends but also for my pup Izzy to get out bc she is sick of me now that I wfh full time unless i have business trip. Depending on your location or needs I am happy to schedule my day accordingly for walks, stop ins, etc. - at the end of the day very flexible with sufficient notice or schedule permitting within 5 mile radius from east norriton. I can only board or house sit if our dogs get along so reach out for a meet n greet. Walks/check ins I can do solo. In the summer of 2026 i started a new job working from 100% unless traveling. Need accountabilibudies to. Help me step away from desk through the day. Also could use some extra money to cover my own dog care for when I need to travel for work Important to assess the needs of all dogs during a meet and greet prior to the first visit. When I am out and about the dogs are always leashed. If I have a dog staying with me, I never leave then out with my dog.I would separate them with a crate or a bedroom door. i would also feed separately

“Emily was fantastic with our dog. She was very easy to work with, flexible, and we would be happy to have her walk our dog again.”
