About: I am an avid dog lover. I have owned several dogs in my lifetime, and I volunteer at Canine Partners for Life. I understand that finding affordable animal care with someone you trust can be hard, I am okay negotiating my prices if need be. I am comfortable being around all sizes of animals. I love both dogs and cats. I currently own three cats. I have helped one of my dogs give birth and I spent time in the whelping area at Canine Partners for Life. I work full time but I work a block away from home. I have time throughout the day to check in on things if needed and I have a very flexible work schedule. I have cameras set up so I can monitor any animals in my home. I currently only own a cat which is much more low maintenance than a dog. I don't have to do potty breaks with her but I do often go spend time with her on my lunch break. We play after I get home from work.

She’s very communicative and I can tell she takes great care of all the pets that are in her charge. I would highly recommend Kendall for your pet sitting/walking needs any time!”

About: I've grew up taking care of my family pets along with pet sitting for neighbors. I love animals and have 1 dog and 3 cats myself which I've adopted. You can rely on me to walk, feed, bathe or even give medicine to your pet if needed. My schedule is very flexible if you need me to take your dog for a walk during the day or need a pet sitter during the week/weekend I am available. My apartment is spacious with a park right up the block making it great and convenient for walking pets. I have one dog and three cats who all get along and could keep your dog company. I know each person has their own way to take care of their pets so I can follow whatever instructions that you may have for me.
About: Growing up I’ve always had family dogs I helped out with. In more recent years, I’ve watched neighbors and family’s pets, including petsitting two dogs for a few days. Currently, I’m on summer break and have tons of time to watch or walk pets. Most days are easy for me as I have transportation. I’m flexible to anything your pet needs. I can do any scheduling with feeding them, walking them, using crates, etc. I’m able to take them out as much as needed.
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) since I was young and as a teen to adult have taken care of them well into their old age. Some of my pets have required extra care as they aged, and I was able to keep them comfortable while having all of their needs met. As a teen, neighbors would trust me for house drop-ins and dog walking regularly when they went on vacation or even had a sudden event that made them late to give their pets dinner. I’m capable of taking care of all needs including giving medications to stubborn dogs and cats, accident clean-up, litter box maintenance, walking, brushing, and bathing. **Years of experience ~4 collectively in which I was paid for pet-sitting services, owned and cared for pets my whole life. I am full time work from home, so I can easily schedule throughout the day to drop by for your pet, or I can bring my computer to your home and spend the day with your pets if you’d prefer! Additionally, I am available most weekends and weekday evenings after 5pm. I do occasionally travel for work, so booking at least a week in advance is preferred so that I can be sure of my availability. I have one dog (black lab, 7 y/o) and one cat (13 y/o). Both are very friendly, but my cat will most likely keep to herself. I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can roam, and live near a park with a walking trail so a long walk is also an option. My lawn has been treated for ticks and fleas.
About: I have owned dogs since I was born. I have 5 dogs in total, ranging from 13 pounds to 110 pounds. 3 of which are rescues and 2 are pure breads. I have always been hands on with them such as feeding, walking, playing and cuddling. I've experienced dogs of all ages, experienced very old dogs and also very young puppies. I worked at Camp Bow Wow, a doggy daycare and boarding place which gave me great experience cleaning up after them, and caring for them. I am currently working part-time in an office, I am available during lunch hours, depending on your location and my location that day. I am available all evenings and weekends. I am able to work around my schedule in order to help with your dog's needs. I am offering over night services at your own home, dog walking, and check-ins when needed. Feel free to message me with any questions :) I am able to safely care for your dogs according to your directions. I am able to give medications, crate your dog, or follow any specific directions you might have.
About: I grew up in a family that always had cats and dogs of various breeds and sizes, so I have experience with many different types. I've taken care of everything from poodle mixes to golden retrievers and labs. I have previously taken care of neighbors' and family members pets. I also currently have 3 cats as well as an Australian Shepherd so I can deal with more than one animal at a time. I can clean cats litter boxes, as well as brush them, and I do have some experience with giving medicine to both dogs and cats. I have my own transportation, and am willing to do multiple visits during the day. Please message me if you think I could be a good fit for you, or if you would like to know more!
“Paul did a fantastic job looking after the doggos and they obviously had fun with him. The whole arrangement was flawless and we will gladly reach out to Paul the next time we are in the area. Thanks so much!”
About: I am currently working at Banfield Pet Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant, so I am able to give pets nail trims, medications, fluids, etc., and I can also tell if there's any behavioral or medical abnormalities with your pet. I am attending Harcum college, where I am studying to be a veterinary nurse. After graduating Harcum and getting my certificate, I plan to move on to emergency/specialty medicine and specializing in anesthesia. I’m 20 years old and I have spent the majority of my life caring for animals. I even have a 5-year-old Alaskan Malamute, so I have plenty of experience with the stubborn, intelligent breeds. FLEXIBLE. I live in the dorms at Harcum college (Bryn Mawr, PA) during the week where I would like to pet sit locally. All days, I have breaks between classes where I could stop by and check on your pets. Friday-Sunday I am typically home, working at the animal hospital, but I only live 30 minutes from Harcum, so I can still swing by as needed. I will do any and all sorts of enrichment that the pet requires including daily walks, playing with toys, going on little 'adventures', light training, giving treats, etc. Pets will be fed in a timely manner (I can't promise a set schedule due to work & class hours). I will also respect your pet's boundaries, completely! I understand not all dogs/cats want to cuddle or play; some like to hide or don't want to engage at all. I get it! I'm here to make sure they are happy, safe, and taken care of while the owner is away.

Campbell was fantastic with Lily! They went for a nice long walk around the neighborhood and she took time to hangout with her and give her some snuggles which is so appreciated. Since I’ve had to return to the office for work, it’s been so hard on Lily and Campbell really lit up her day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Willowdale on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,615 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Willowdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Willowdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Willowdale.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willowdale. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
