“Our pup just adores Brooke. From the walks, playing and learning - we have seen a positive influence in the daily walks. It's been years since we had a puppy in the house, having Brooke care for him while we are away at work has been such a ease on our minds. Thank you for loving our boy!”

About: I have dog sat for almost 5 years. I’ve had experience with dog sitting. When my aunt and uncle first got there puppy I trained him to be the dog that he is today. I also have a mini golden doodle and trained her she is 2 years old and behaves very well. I also have experience with pet sitting for family and friends. I love exercising and I walk almost everyday and to have a dog to walk with me would make it so much better! I love the outdoors and having a walking buddy! I take very good care of dogs! I am a responsible adult that has a big heart for dogs. I feel to trust someone with your dog is very important to me.

“Terri has been a fantastic support for our family. She is dependable and trustworthy and sends an update after each visit. Knowing that our little Spaniel is comfortable and happy is the best feeling when I am away from home. I am so grateful that I found her, and I look forward to working with her for a long time!!”

About: Hello! I’m Leigh, and I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. From dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards and more, animals have always been a big part of my life. I truly believe that every pet deserves the utmost care, attention, and love, and I treat each one I care for as if they were my own. With decades of experience looking after a variety of pets, I’ve learned the importance of patience, kindness, and consistency in building trust with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just a cuddle, I’m there to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m attentive to their unique needs, and I always strive to make sure they feel comfortable and loved in my care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry, feathered, or scaly friend like family, I’d love to be the one to help! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a meet-and-greet. Looking forward to meeting your pet! 🐾 I’m primarily available during the day on weekdays for walks and drop ins, but I can be flexible and arrange evening and weekend care as needed. Just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! When pet-sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I maintain a secure environment, sticking to your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure your pet feels at ease with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping it clean and tidy. Your pet’s well-being and peace of mind are my top priorities while you’re away!

About: I grew up with multiple pets, including two cats in my childhood and a wonderful dog that I helped care for in her seniority, so I've been familiar with animals all my life. Currently, I own and aided in training a high-maintenance, special needs German Shepherd. He's a sweetheart, but he's definitely a commitment! Given his intensely anxious nature, he needs a patient hand to calm him often. He's also epileptic, so I am well practiced in attentiveness, administering medication, following specialized meal plans and the like if needed. I have also done pet and house sitting on many occasions, particularly for family and friends but for a wide variety of pets– from little dogs that didn't even reach my knee, to my own Shepherd, who stands just about as tall as my hip. I've house kept for up to a week, entertaining young dogs and going on daily walks, etc. I am always happy to be introduced to new little ones and have a high pain tolerance when it comes to their claws, so I don't mind when they get a bit rowdy, either! High energy or low, I will gladly make time for any fluffy friends who need a watchful eye. I am currently on track to earn a Bachelor's in the Arts from Towson University, which is about a 50 minute commute from my home. With this in mind, my current class schedule entails that Towson days are essentially unavailable; however, the rest of the week, I'm generally left plenty of room to take on pet care! Life is always busy, and while sometimes I wind up with too many commitments to do it regularly, I'll always make time for it when I can. Though my own home may not be an ideal place for another pet to spend nights due to my Shepherd's nervousness, I will gladly offer my time to visit others. I have previously found myself curled up on a couch with a pet I was taking care of overnight, or even falling asleep on the floor with them. So long as their pet parents are happy for me to do so, I will gladly stay wherever is most comfortable for the pet involved, and take food/water/sleeping arrangements where they are best suited. I also have a fair sense of direction, so I'm perfectly content on walks in unfamiliar places, especially when I have friendly doggos with me!

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart! With over 10 years of professional dog-sitting experience, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved furry family member. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and personalized care. My goal is to make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether you’re heading out for the day or enjoying a well-deserved vacation, you can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in loving, experienced hands. **Your peace of mind and your pup’s happiness are always my top priority! 🐶💕** My schedule is very flexible so it’s easy for me to be there for your dog. I take dogs on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they’re with me. You can bring your dog’s favorite toys or blankets, however we have everything your dog would need to feel at home with me. I wash everything after each visit to make sure all of my things are clean for the next fur baby. I have food and water bowls, toys, beds, blankets, crates and even leashes. I want to make it as convenient as possible for you while ensuring your dog is comfortable with me. A typical day for us is getting up early and taking your dog for an early walk. Feed him or her breakfast. Go for several walks throughout the day and spend lots of time playing and cuddling. Feed him or her dinner and end the day by going for a long walk after dinner and cuddle watching tv. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe.

I love to do whatever makes the client and pets happy. I can accommodate whatever you decide will make everyone happiest and healthiest. You let me know and I will do whatever it takes.

“Theresa is AMAZING! I used Rover for the first time last week and I was so nervous about my pup being home alone/meeting someone new but Theresa is a rockstar! My pup loved her and had a great time with Theresa. She texted me updates while I was at work and really made sure my pup was taken care of and put all my anxieties at ease. I will definitely be scheduling daily walks with Theresa!”

About: I grew up on a farm so I have had animals of all sorts since I was little. I ran an equine boarding facility for 2 and a 1/2 years caring for up to 25 horses at a time. I am currently halfway through my degree to become a vet technician. My husband and I own 3 horses 2 dogs 4 cats and and 4 fish. I love taking our dogs for walks and hiking. Our cats enjoy playing with toy mice, the laser point, and eating treats 😋 We foster cats, so I have dealt with cats of all shapes and sizes! I also have worked with dogs that have a more aggressive/cautious personality. I am willing to work with them as well! Your animals will be in great hands! 😊 I currently work part-time so late morning to late afternoons are the best! My classes are in the evening and we take our dogs on walk in the morning before my husband goes to work. Midday walks and dropins are perfect! We have about 1/2 an acre fenced in backyard that our dogs love playing in and our cats love to play with toy mice, the laser pointer, and eating treats! One of our dogs is older so I am completely comfortable with older dogs and puppies! Since we foster cats and kittens I am familiar with cats of all shapes and sizes!

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds for years, and friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pups like my own. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout both weekdays and weekends, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate boarding, daycare, and drop-offs or pickups as needed, and I do my best to make each pup feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home during their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take introductions slowly to help everyone feel safe. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, crate routines, medications, and any care instructions you provide so your pup can have a smooth and stress-free stay. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel secure, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising a dog from 9 weeks old to his current 13 years. I’ve been there every step of the way, from puppyhood to adulthood and senior years. Plus, my dog tore his ACL, so I know firsthand the challenges of keeping your pet safe and out of harm’s way, along with the need for special care and instructions. I am currently a senior student athlete in college with a flexible schedule. I wanted to find a part-time job that I would actually enjoy, and I have always loved being near animals. Coming back home to my dog is always the highlight of my trip, so being near dogs and getting to see the joy on their faces has always made me smile. I think pets are happiest when they’re in their own space, so I’d rather work at someone else’s home. Plus, getting to know the dog and the pet owners will really help everyone feel more comfortable.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Atkins Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Atkins Acres is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $26 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 14,329 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Atkins 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 Atkins Acres. 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 Atkins Acres 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 Atkins Acres. 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

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 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.
