“Carla did a wonderful job walking our Shih Tzu, Paige while we were on vacation. Thank-you for taking care of her. Very reliable and communicated via the Rover app.”
About: Hi! I'm Coralie, you can call me Coral! I'm a high-energy, fun-loving women's health advocate, yoga teacher, and most importantly, a pet sitter to furry friends across the DC metro area and beyond. As a cat mom of two purrfect girls, lifelong cat owner and rover pet sitter for 3+ years - I understand pets are our family, which is why I love to connect with pet parents prior to offering support to learn more about your pet's needs. When booking with me I can guarantee lots of photos, updates and personalized attention to your pets as desired, whether cuddles, play, or both! ** Additional notes: I am experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments, breeds, ages, and medical conditions. I can administer oral medication. I particularly enjoy working with households that have multiple cats. For dogs, I am happy to care for small to large sizes. I am not able to accept giant breeds at this time. At this time, I am happy to offer flexible scheduling options for new and returning pet parents for all of my services: house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits. I have availability 6–7 days a week, from early morning to late evening! **Meet and Greets: For safety, security, and your pet's comfort, a meet and greet is required for all bookings. The easiest option is a video call, but if you would prefer an in-person meet and greet, a booking is required. For dog walking and house sitting, I strongly encourage an in-person meet and greet to ensure I am the best support option for your pet! **Cancellations and Modifications: If a service has already been confirmed and is 3 days or less away, I do not accept cancellations or modifications outside of emergencies. This means you will be charged for the full service you initially booked, regardless of changing circumstances. Delight is in the details! As your pet/house sitter, I chat with every pet parent to get the scoop on what's needed from me. While I am self-sufficient and can work with minimal details, I encourage families to share as much as they can about the intricacies of their pets' behaviors, personalities, and even house rules or quirks to be aware of. This way, everyone's comfortable and satisfied, and all responsibilities get done so we can all have a delightful time. **Additional notes: I do have a personal vehicle to transport pets in the case of any emergency.
About: Although I may not have special skills such as training or senior care, I am willing to learn so I can provide the best care possible that is needed for optimum satisfaction. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and most weekdays after 1pm. Safety and happiness of pets are my top priority. I live in a community with ample space for safe walking and exercise. Whether if it's in-home or boarding, pet care requirements will be met at peak satisfaction for all.
“Jane was great! I could tell from how relaxed my little boy was when I got home each day that he felt really comfortable with her. Her walks were always on time, she sent photos and responded to questions I had about my dog’s health. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I recently had a dog of my own Coco who passed away last year due to kidney disease, which made my compassion for animals even greater. I have done some volunteer work at a local shelter and have also worked at Petsmart a few months taking care, bathing/feeding and playing with dogs/cats. I have done walking/sitting 5+ years. I work part-time in hospitality, so my schedule can vary, but I do have some flexibility and can accommodate different days and times. I’m happy to work around your pup’s routine and specific needs whenever possible. Communication is key, and I’ll always do my best to find a schedule that works for both of us! My home is a comfortable, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and at ease. I enjoy giving pets attention, affection, and plenty of playtime while making sure they feel right at home. I aim to create a relaxed, pet-friendly space where every pup gets the care and attention they deserve. I have no other pets and also smoke and kid free!

I am available almost any time, unless I am busy or on vacation & if I am pet sitting another pet. Contact me 2 know. I have a backyard where I can run around & play w pets! I also live in a house with enough space for pets to walk around. I also live around a big park to play around with pets! A dog park as well!
About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve fed, walked, trained, given medications and even IV treatment to all of them. From babies to elderly pets, I have experience with them all. I have open availability any day of the week. I do have 2 children which depending on the time of day may need to come with me. I cannot stay overnight or have any pets at my home. I will feed, walk, give medication to and of course play and interact with your pet and tend to their needs. I know all animals have their own personality and am very patient and will work with all of their quirks and behaviors.
About: 34 years old & looking to spend my spare time walking adorable dogs. I am very comfortable around all dogs, all sizes - in my years dog sitting/walking, I've cared for Labs, Great Danes, Pitbulls & Shar Peis. I love long walks; my chocolate lab and I went on 45 minute walks, twice a day. I will feed, walk, brush dogs - and help them reach the daily belly rub quota. I'm currently working part time, so the best schedule for your pup is the best schedule for me. Happy to accomadate early birds and night owls. I'm great at following instructions; happy to follow whatever routine is best for your dog so they feel comfortable at my arrival. I want your pup to be happy when they see me coming to meet them!
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals! I love all animals and will take care of your fur babies like my own!

About: My name is Juliana and I love animals! I have always had a passion caring for animals ever since I was a little girl. I make sure to clean up after them, feed and play with them and shower them with a lot of affection. I am a responsible young lady wanting to make a little bit of earnings.

I follow COVID guidelines, I make cleanliness and sanitation a priority. I have a very flexible schedule, I am also bilingual. I have affordable rates and I will work with any budget and I will look forward to taking care of your fur baby.
About: I like most, have been around fur babies most of my life. Ive been walking and sitting since 2014. They give the best snuggles and emotional fulfillment that you just can't get anywhere else. Im experienced with medication needs and special requirements if there are any physical issues or injuries that l need to keep an eye on. Ive been sitting Regularly for the past 9 years and its given me the opportunity to work with so many different breed, personalities from 10lb biscuits to 144lb bundles of pup. I always strive to create and maintain a strong sense of family with every animal I meet. I also don't mind any to-do lists during the sit either with the Fur babies or the House. I like to say that Im full service if the need arises I work full time with a dog walking company at the moment but my availability for sitting request can be either adjusted or a none issue on a case by case basis Yes for the last 14yrs I have house sat at the clients location over night or potty/check in when scheduled with very good client satisfaction upon there return.
About: Hello! My name is Mia and my experience with animals even from a young age I’ve always loved them. Im also an animal science major so besides my experience with companion animals I have experience with farm animals. I also work at a doggy daycare throughout my breaks and summer time so 40 hours a week im constantly around doggies! I’m currently taking classes at university of Maryland college park but usually afternoons mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends I’m totally and would love the opportunity to house sit or walk dogs! The way in which I would make sure your pet is taken care of either in my home or yours would definitely consist of taking them on a walking, feeding depending on what you have for them and the correct amount, possibly rewarding good behavior etc.

About: I believe it is not only that I like dogs - I believe dogs like me. Dog walker out of Manor Park, NW DC I'm a lifelong dog person. I grew up with Labs and I have had dogs of my own throughout my life as an adult. I am an active person who is not shy about the weather. Rain, snow, and heat don't bother me, and your dog gets a proper walk regardless of the forecast. I come from the school of thought, "there is no bad weather, just bad gear choices." What you can expect: I'll arrive on time, follow your routine (leash, route, treats, any quirks), and send you a photo and short update after each walk. I also dabble in photography, so you'll get good pictures of your pup. Normally I travel with a bag of kibble to give the dogs a small treat at the end of our walk. The dogs really seem to enjoy the treats. I'm happy to do a free meet-and-greet first so your dog and I can get to know each other. Where I walk: Manor Park and nearby neighborhoods, with Rock Creek Park and local parks for longer walks. Midday weekday walks are my specialty, and I'm flexible on days and times. The walk destination usually depends on the location of the house that the dog lives. When in Silver Spring I normally migrate to the closest neighborhood park or Sligo Creek. It all depends on a combination of location and duration of the walk. About me: Just over a year as a professional dog walker on top of my spend with my dogs and the family dogs. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm active, outdoorsy, and reliable, and I treat every dog's walk like it's my own. Currently working part time. The job is flexible so I have good availability. Also - since I am only working part time. Dog walking will be my second job - I will prioritize it as my job. Your pet's health and well being are priority one. I am strong and healthy and keeping your dog safe and under my control is Priority One. When walking I am alert to my surroundings, always in tune with the variables around me. Watching how the dog responds to the world around them. Anticipating and avoiding any dangers or potential conflict. For boarding - my yard is fenced in and I live walking distance to a wonderful park. My house is casual / dogs are allowed on furniture.
About: I was a longtime dog sitter for some neighbors of mine, and I have also had my own dogs. I have grown up around dogs and have loved pets my entire life! I love the variety of dogs, whether that be their breed, age, or temperament. I love going on walks, thoroughly enjoy playtime, and feel comfortable meeting new pooches! I am currently a full time student here at the University of Maryland, however I like to think of myself as a strong multitasker and student. I am positive I will be able to serve you and your pet needs outside of my class hours. Additionally, I am more than willing to be flexible, and I have found much success in extracurricular activities so far this semester, proving my academic load to be more than manageable. I have a dog of my own with my family back home in Frederick, Maryland. This obviously includes waking up and letting little Bob outside in the morning and throughout the day, and we enjoy going on walks together, and Bob is a very active dog who loves play. He enjoys being chased throughout the house or tossing a ball outside and he even has his own funny, unorthodox sessions of play where Bob enjoys being spoken to or chased without toys. I typically take care of feeding Bob, giving him water, and making him comfortable. I want to meet a dog’s needs, and provide them with a positive experience!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Adelphi
Obuchi was great! She was communicative and was available last minute when another dog walker cancelled on me. She made sure he was happy and able to get his energy out both days. When there was an issue with the water fountain that my pets used she solved and made sure they were well taken care of. Thank you!

We can’t thank Talise enough. She was so kind and patient, and our dog absolutely loved her. He looked forward to their walks together every time, and we know he’s going to miss her ( we are moving ) Reliable, caring, and genuinely great with him. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Adelphi is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Adelphi. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Adelphi after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Adelphi. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
