“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.”
“Joseph M was great with Diego and Daisy. He has a great manner with the dogs. He was reliable and sent regular, detailed updates. We will use him again in a heartbeat.”
“Izzy was good with our dog. She spent time with her before and after the walk and Roxy looked forward to her coming. Unfortunately she was over committed and wasn’t able to continue with us.”
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.
About: What sets me apart is my endless patience and keen attention to detail—I treat every pet like they're my own. When I'm not spoiling my own kitties, you'll find me behind the camera, snapping cat photos to help them find their forever homes. Rest assured, I'll share the best update pictures of your fur babies while you're away. I work full-time but am mostly home-based, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it's drop-ins, walking, or just taking a break to give your furry friend some love, I'm here to ensure they're happy and comfortable. Available on weekdays and weekends! Drop-In Visits / House Sitting: When visiting your home, I’ll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, take them out for a walk or let them out for a bathroom break, and spend quality time playing or cuddling with them. I treat your home with care and your pet like family.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.
“Gio was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Gio. She has a true love for dogs and what she does. I will definitely work with her 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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike, for over 10 years now. Including 4 my own dogs, friends’ dogs and plenty of cats for my surrounding family. I have cared for extended visits on puppies and seniors alike as well. I’m out for the summer so I am available anytime all the time to be over and tend to your dogs. Available all days of the week after Noon. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of the family. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-safe environment free from hazards, with secure areas for rest, play, and feeding. I follow the owner’s routines closely whether it’s walk times, special diets, or medications and always provide fresh water, love, and supervision. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and stress-free while they’re away
“Zada communicated with me about my little guy and how his walk went. I could tell from her feedback that she was very aware of his sensitivity to sound and overall overstimulation from the city. Despite his sensitivity, she was patient with him and let him continue to explore on his walk. You definitely want Zada walking your fur 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.”

Amani provides excellent, dependable, and timely service. She communicates and schedules in advance, and always follows through. My dog knows her well and feels completely comfortable around her. If you’re looking for professionalism, reliability, and genuine kindness toward your pet, I highly recommend her services.
Molly is very responsible and caring and easy to work with. She took the time to get to know our dogs, showed up on time for every scheduled walk, and provided a thorough report about their outings. I love working with Molly and the dogs really feel safe with her. I 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 July 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 July 2026, there are 17,885 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:
- 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.
