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.
About: Hi! My name is Renee and I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I grew up in a household with many different kinds of pets including dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I currently own two small dogs, Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes, one is 13 and the other is 3. I love all animals and am comfortable with them all. I’m currently unemployed so I have tons of time to care for and play with your furry friends! I’m mostly available on weekends as I have responsibilities weekdays, but I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in yard. I would keep my dogs separate just as a proactive measure since they are small. In your home I would care for your precious pet how you see fit!
About: I have been caring for my own pets for 10+ years and could like to get into formal care. I have also pet sat for my friends and family in the past. As of now I am available daily for pet sitting or walking. I don’t mind waking up early. Would prefer not to be out too late alone. I like to hang out with my dog and take him for walks. He’s pretty lazy though so we just sit together a lot of the time. I will follow any instructions you leave.
“Charnae did great with Sofie. Sofie is never tired but after her walk she was pooped. Glad she is getting the exercise she needs during the day and I have Charnae to thank for that.”
About: I have a mini Australian shepherd of my own so I know how important it is to make sure a puppy is well exercised. I can’t wait to meet your pup and spend time on a nice walk! I work from home most days so my schedule is pretty flexible! My evenings are usually free as well so I can be flexible based on what works best for you! I have my mini Aussie at home with me and I also have a crate and lots of toys for him to enjoy. I take him on walks all the time so i know what goes into a good sniff walk to get them well taken care of.
About: Dogs have been in our lives since childhood, and as pup parents ourselves, we understand how hard it can be to find a trusting person to leave your pup with in your times of need. As previous owners of an energetic dog [Cesar], and a foster dog [Argo], we are prepared for the active lifestyle required to care for some dogs. Similarly, we have experience with more relaxed dogs that just enjoy being pet and pampered. We currently serve as pet sitters for our friends who need dog sitting from time to time. I am open to communicating with you as much or as little as you'd like while your pet is with us. Don't worry, I'm that Dog Mom that Facetime's her pup so there's no shame! Currently working from home two days a week, I’d love to have a furry co-worker join me! My work is primarily centered around hosting meetings, and I’m probably the only person on camera without a pet! I have an open home with easy access to the backyard or front of the house for potty breaks. I can crate your dog if requested or let them roam around my baby-proofed home! There are gates and locks EVERYWHERE!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 3 years and treat them like my own. I love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I can groom dogs to keep them looking their best, and I’m comfortable walking both big and small dogs. Whether it’s playing, walking, grooming, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help and make them feel at home. I’m available every weekday and on Wednesdays and Fridays from 4-7 PM. I make sure to give pets plenty of attention and care during these times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, safe space where they can feel at home. I’m reliable and respectful, making sure you can trust me with your fur baby
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little baby! We have always had animals growing up and now as an adult I have two spoiled little pups of my own. I couldn’t imagine my life without these little balls of fur. I make my own schedule so I’m available to love on your pups when needed. I understand the importance of care when you’re away and want to enjoy your trip but still worry about your little ones at home. I have a fenced yard and a dog park near by, however I completely understand if you’re not comfortable with your dog at the dog park. My two pups love company and my significant other is around as well to give extra extra love!
“Leroy was so good with my boy even when he would pull his leash out of excitement and just handled him really well. He listened to all download. I gave him about Ranger and put me at ease immediately. I was out of town for work so he picked my boy up from my parents and ended up chatting with them. Also just showing what an overall friendly and helpful person he is I would recommend him to others and my Boy being a lab is strong and he handled him really well.”
About: Individual with a BS degree in animal science who loves animals of all kinds and would love to keep your furry family members as happy, active, and healthy as possible while you are away! I have over 1000 hours working with animals in all aspects from basic husbandry and pet sitting to veterinary clinical care! Due to my busy schedule working a full time job at a veterinary clinic, my services are best suited to individual walks or drop in visits on my days off (usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays), or sitting for pets that are able to be left alone for 9+ hours at a time. I do not have any pets of my own and am child free, so I can easily provide overnight pet sitting for clients if they would prefer rather than just being present during the day.
“He was nice and respectful, also very flexible which we appreciated and needed. The dogs loved him and seemed happy to hang out with Brandon. We would definitely use his services again in the future!”
“Joe took great care of our Lola girl. We have a boxer puppy with a lot of energy and Joe was able to handle her well. They got along the first time they met and from the photos he sent during their walks, it looked like they both enjoyed each others company. We’re grateful for Joe’s patience with Lola and will be booking him again. Thank you Joe!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ammendale
I highly recommend Tiera! She has been walking my boy, Ozzy, and has been wonderful from day one. She is dependable, professional, and always arrives at the agreed upon time. I never have to worry because I know Ozzy is in good hands. One of the things I appreciate most is that she sends photos during every walk, which gives me peace of mind and lets me see what Ozzy is doing during their walk. She is also patient, caring, and attentive to his needs, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the dogs she works with. If you're looking for someone who is reliable and trustworthy, I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Astrid was such a blessing. I needed someone last minute to take our Charlie out for a midday walk. She stepped in and graciously accepted. She was thorough and asked thoughtful questions I took for granted. It was a burden lifted to see the pictures of him happily exploring outdoors. If you want professional and reliable care, I highly recommend Astrid!
Iliana is amazing! Hallie warmed up to her after one day and she is always very happy when we get home. I highly recommend Iliana. She is very loving and caring and takes excellent care of Hallie. We look forward to continue using Iliana for dog walking services.
Sam was absolutely wonderful. She walked our dogs on a regular basis for the past few months. She was always on time, made sure to provide plenty of info and pics, and was extremely flexible with our always changing schedule. Our pups will miss her daily visits as we are moving away. Thank you for treating our dogs just like your own.
Jeramy was a life saver! Came at the last minute for me after another walker cancelled. We had a little trouble with the lock but she was so patient and figured it out! I was out of town so I was glad to be reassured she made it in to walk the boys. Thanks again Jeramy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ammendale on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .

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 Ammendale. 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 Ammendale.

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 Ammendale. 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.
