About: I have owned dogs all my life all shapes and sizes. I have been trained and volunteer for MDSPCA and the Baltimore Humane Society. I believe it’s important that all dog’s feel loved and taken care of and are as much a family member as anyone else. I know how important interactive play is and enrichment. Keeping a dog in their own environment is best for their well being. Kennels can be very noisy and stressful to the average dog. I know as a pet owner myself having your dog with a trusted person is critical. I also have a medical background so I would be ready for any emergency., if it should arise. I have no Problem giving medication to your pet if needed I am recently retired and I am looking forward to devoting my time to caring for dogs. My schedule is very flexible and ready to start. I have a fenced in yard and have cared for dogs of all sizes. I make sure they are safe and loved and having fun..
“Would definitely recommend and choose Cheryl again! She walked and played with our high energy, 1 year old border heeler while we were away. We were at ease knowing he was with someone who could handle all of his wildness. Thanks again!”
“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”
“Claire is great! This was my first time using Rover and she was super responsive, provided updates and was very flexible. She eased my worry of trying Rover. I highly recommend!”
“Jason listens carefully to what I like when it comes to training, as Roarke is in training to be a service dog. He also won Roarke’s affection right away. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Aye was so sweet and friendly and took great care of my dog MIMI! She even came out for a pre-walk meet and greet! Thank you Aye!! You are my official dog walker from here on out!”
“My girl Rosy is a special needs dog. She's afraid of everything. The 1st time she met Julian she licked him. He's sweet and kind and very patient with her. I highly recommend him.”
“Ryan is absolutely amazing with resetting puppy behavior so my little guy continues learning and LOVING learning each day on his walks. If we could we would add an extra star for Ryan!”
About: *UPDATE*- I am back at college so I am available around the Owings Mills area in MD! I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I currently have 6 cats, a senior dog and a fish named Pedro, after the infamous Pedro Pascal. I’ve dealt with animals healthy and disabled, I’ve also dealt with animals of all sizes including horses! I rode horses for 14 years of my life and I’ve dealt with animals as small as a fish. For $15 extra I can do a professional photography photo shoot with the pets and include 5 digital photos and 1 complimentary 8x10 print 😊 I am currently a Junior at Stevenson University, so the pets I sit need to be okay with being let alone for a couple of hours while I attend classes. I also work part-time as a student film worker at my university's equipment room, and that's about ten hours a week. I care for pets very cautiously. I love all animals and want to make sure all pets are happy and safe within the environment I create.
About: Hello! Thank you for considering me for caring for your fur baby! Dog walking, drop in visits, boarding, and doggy daycare services available! I work full time from home and have the flexibility to entertain, walk, or cuddle your pup for the majority of the day. If you dog comes to my home, I own a 6 year old golden retriever and your dog can join us on the many walks we take! If your dog prefers a solo walk, I am a very active person so I have no issue providing them that 1:1 attention! I am experienced with medication administration as well as dogs with special needs. Your pup will get all the cuddles, pets, and walks that he or she desires. I work full time from home, so I am available most week days for walks and playtime. I am able to provide boarding services during the week and weekend. I have a 6 year old golden retriever who loves to make new friends. My yard is not fenced but I am able to take pups for many walks. Dogs are free to play inside my home. I am home most of time during the work day and have a crate available if need be.
“Maria was amazing! She accommodated my last minute request and was extremely understanding! Her communication was superb and my mom even added she had such a friendly face when first meeting. Thank you again Maria 💚”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I carry my own premium Pet Care/Liability Insurance for your peace of mind. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
“Thank you so much for taking care of River once again. My dad called and told me how awesome you are. River can be a lot but he has taken to you and he listens! You always go over and beyond. Im also jealous of your picture taking skills while catching River in motion. Lol”
“Casie, is a joy to work with. She is always on time. She is so caring and loving with my puppy. I can tell she really cares. Will definitely continue to use her.”
“Emily arrived on time and was so friendly and warm greeting Sadie. She definitely provided Sadie a great walk and rewarding experience. I would definitely use Emily again?”
“My Zeus is so happy with Dimitri that when he arrives he grabs his leash and refuses to let us say hi! We are extremely happy with Dimitri he is on time and communicates very well with any changes or updates. I would highly recommend him just not on my day and time.”
About: Hike 15-20 miles/week. Love big active dogs. Volunteer dog walker and transporter for Baltimore Humane Society. Volunteer with Geo Vets, International. Dog/house sitting experience. I have a very flexible schedule and loads of time to wear your dog(s) out! My preference is a wooded hiking trail as they will be stimulated by the variety of scents, but can do your neighborhood if that’s better for you. I have been trained in various dog behavior techniques and will employ “4 on the floor” at a minimum in order to get a leash or harness on and avoid over excitement.
About: I have always loved dogs and have helped friends and family with dog-sitting whenever needed. I have been a pet parent for over 10 years and am very empathetic to their needs and wants. I currently open availability for week days and weekends. So I can provide help and care for your furry family members whenever it's needed. 😊 I currently have an ESA yorkiepoo who coexists well with other animals. I love to play and cuddle and make sure any and all needs are covered. Please let me know about any specific concerns, so I can make sure I take the best possible care of your furry friend(s).

Breanna was amazing! My dog and puppy immediately felt comfortable with their new friend. She communicated with me through the entire process so it was easy to book a walk and also know how the pups were doing. My dogs enjoyed their walks and outside time. They were well cared for! I will definitely be booking with Breanna again!
Michael is attentive to the details when he takes care of my dogs. Today he noticed that I’d accidentally left a door open that could have led to them getting out - he contacted me to check if it was intentional and took care of it right away when I confirmed it was a mistake. Michael is the best :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Academy Acres on Rover is $19.98 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 6,491 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Academy Acres. 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 Academy Acres. 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 Academy Acres.

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 Academy Acres. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
