“Amazing! Grace was wonderful with Kobi and followed all of my specific instructions perfectly. I needed a sitter at the very last minute, and she responded to my message quickly and professionally. She took great care of Kobi, kept me updated, and gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
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: I have grown up/taken care of various pets ever since I could remember. I am serious about the health and hygiene of any and all pets. I am at home 5-7 days a week and readily available to be mobile if need be! I do have a 4 year old son, but he is in pre-k full time and low maintenance enough for me to give proper attention to all. I care for those in a nurturing + attentive way. There is a lot of room outside for any dog to run around. We have a crate on hand if requested for certain pets.
About: I've owned pets for my entire life and taken care of them since I was a kid. I can take them for long walks, feed them, play with them and take care of them. I am currently working part- time, so I have plenty of time for your pets. I can visit your pets once or twice throughout the day while you're at work. I am happy to care for your pets and your home, if you need someone to take in mail or water your plants. Safety is a priority, so I am attentive to any concerns you have for your house or pets.
About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by houses periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.
“Carla was on time and sent me pictures of the walk she took with my dog. I appreciate her help and she has been flexible with my confusing schedule. Would recommend and plan to use her services again in the future.”
“Trinity has been an excellent daytime walker for my dog. She’s reliable and communicative, but most importantly she takes great care of my pup. I definitely would recommend her to anyone interested.”
“Jared walks our dog regularly and cat-sits for us when we travel, and he is great with all our furry friends. They are well cared for, and Jared is very communicative. We're so happy to have him to take care of our babies.”
“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’ve taken care of dogs since I was child, my mother worked as a maid and would take me along. Some of her clients would have dogs and I would play with their dogs and walk them along side their owners when it’s time to go out. Now three years ago I have my own fur-baby as my ESA, which inspired me to continue working with dogs and I’ve been working with them for more than 6 months now at a doggy daycare in the silver spring MD area! Hi! Yes! I really enjoy having pet care as part of my routine. Every day, I make time for feeding, walks or playtime, fresh water, and plenty of attention. Throughout the week, I also handle grooming, cleaning, and making sure they’re happy and healthy. Please feel free to reach out with any questions for your fur-babies! If any of your pets need medication, timers and alarms will be set to be given at accurate times. Daily/frequent pictures and video calls will be sent to you of your fur-babies when requested.
“Delaina was late, but she communicated well and took good entertaining photos of my doggos. She must have been great, because my spouse said they were so confused when she left. They thought she was part of our family so she was dog on approved! Thanks girl!”
About: I was practically raised by wolves lol. Growing up in a Huge Southern Household I’ve had plenty of Paws-on experience with dozens of breeds, all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From HUGE St Bernard’s and German shepherd’s, to Pomeranians and Yorkipoos! I’m a college student on summer break, so the sky is the limit! My schedule is extremely flexible, and I will be happy to discuss that further with you. Unfortunately, I do not offer boarding services at this time. I am familiar and experienced taking precautionary measures to keep your fur baby safe and happy home and in public spaces.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Adelphi
Maria has been just exceptional! She’s been walking my boy regularly for the last few weeks and she really puts her heart into looking after him. It was too hot to take him out for a full 1/2 hour so she spent the remainder of the time playing with and petting him. She’s also been great at letting me know how he’s been during the day. I’d highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Adelphi on Rover is $19.26 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 17,629 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Adelphi. 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 Adelphi. 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 Adelphi.

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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
