“Lida took wonderful care of Barkley and Charley while we were in Arizona! She handled their feeding, walks, and medications with so much patience—even when both dogs refused to go out in the rain. Barkley initially made taking his medicine and getting his cone back on a challenge, but she patiently worked through it to keep him from licking his paw. Charley is only 12 pounds but has a big bark and strong opinions about every dog and squirrel he sees! We’re so grateful for her kindness and willingness to handle their little quirks. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in her care. We would happily recommend Lida and will book her each time we go away!. The Fisher Family”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and know how to take care of them. I also have experience with cats, I have helped my grandfather with a stray cat that chose him! I'm openly available, as of today. I like to volunteer, but that usually only takes about 4 or 5 hours. I will give your pet the time it needs. You make sure that they have plenty of fresh water, eat on time, and walk them every day when the sun is not too hot, eg in the morning or evening.

About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience with animals to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Having trained numerous puppies over the years, I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and tailored approaches. My commitment to an active lifestyle means your furry friend will enjoy not just routine walks but engaging activities. I take pride in providing customized services to meet the unique needs of each pet, whether it's energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and my extensive experience sets me apart as a dedicated and knowledgeable caregiver. I currently work remotely for a mobile dog grooming company during the weeks and have freedom to travel to my clients homes during this time to ensure all time possible is spent with my furry friends for maximum cuddles and company! I have 3 dogs who love to have new mates to play with in our fenced in back yard! They will also be great for keeping your dog company during the days where they miss their family. We love the dog park so if approved of, we would love to take a few trips to play! I can easily crate your dog if needed or requested as long as a crate is provided. They are welcome in any part of our home and of course, on the couch and beds for some snuggles!

“Rachel was excellent with our senior dog (Bentley). She took on the assignment at the very last minute due to our original Walker coming down with an illness. Ulthough a last minute request, Rachel came over the night before to make sure she met Bentley and to introduce herself to us. We explained our walking and feeding processes to her, and she was very accepting to the routine. While we were on our trip, Rachel sent us numerous pictures of Bentley either at home or on his walk. She kept us well updated on his activities. Unfortunately, while we were gone, he did have some accidents in the house, and Rachel cleaned them up and took care of making sure that everything was disposed to properly and that the rags used to clean up the mess were washed. Wonderful customer service. We would not hesitate to use Rachel again, as well as recommend her to any of our friends.”

About: I can adapt to a pet’s mood/temperament and do the upmost to remain mindful of all their needs! I grew up helping my dad raise and breed beagles and I have cared for pets over 20 years whether they were my own or owned by family. I joined in 2024 when I lived in Kansas City, MO but ended up having zero time! So now that I’m back in Maryland, I’m ready to assist pets and their owners! 🩷 I am in school full-time so am mostly available on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Very occasionally, I can be available for pet care weekday evenings. I do not board pets as one of my cats is very anxious so I will have to go to client’s home to pet sit. Nevertheless, I will triple check that everything is in place and doors are locked prior to leaving a client’s home. For walking, I will triple check that leashes/harnesses are secure and I do not listen to music so I can be 100% aware of my surroundings and the needs of furbabies.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the majority of my life, ever since I was born, and have recently had several other experiences with cats in the past 3 years. I have prior pet-sitting experience, from sitting for neighbors to actively working at a doggy daycare. I have veterinary medicine experience from shadowing at a local veterinary office, so if there are any animal-related emergencies, I know how to perform CPR. Additionally, I have experience working with animals with skin conditions because one of my dogs has sebaceous adenitis. I am part-time, but I am available to work weekdays from 9 am to 7 pm. Weekends are hard to negotiate, as I own my own business At my university, I share a cat with my roommates; the cat is free to roam, and we have implemented a feeding schedule with regular litter cleaning as well as biweekly brushing. At my permanent residence, I take care of two standard poodles. I have a fenced backyard. I leave my dog's food bowl full and open, I groom them three times a week, and bathe one of the dogs once a month and the other three times a month because one of them has a dermal condition that requires I wash them more often.

About: I’m fairly new to pet care, but after spending 4 year as a care giver, I want to give my second passion a chance which is taking care of dogs and cats.

With that being said, I have a lot of time on my hands and fully committed to give your pups and cats unconditional love when needed! House Sitting I’m Available only on weekends. Drop-Ins and Walks I’m available from 2PM to 10PM on weekdays and weekends depending on my schedule! While for boarding I’m currently unable to I will always no matter what have a good ear and eye out for any animal at all times. For walks a leash will be on at all times. For both drop-ins and walks, I will always make sure that any animal is healthy and happy before doing any tasks in doors or outdoors.

About: I grew up with cats and have always loved animals. When I moved to Maryland in 2023, I volunteered with Montgomery County as an animal foster and transport volunteer. In my current work as a senior caregiver, I also regularly care for clients’ dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to provide caring, dependable attention to pets and their families. I currently work during the week, so my availability is primarily on weekends. I would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for pets and giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship while their families are away. Unfortunately I am not allowed to have any pets in my current rental home, so I am limited to only caring for the animals in their own homes.

About: Hello! I am a caregiver who truly has a special place in my heart for all animals. My love for pets, especially cats and dogs, started when I was little growing up in a home where our pets were treated like family. We had several dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, rabbit, goats, ferret & even a sweet pig named Bacon. The responsibility of caring for our pets was such a big part of my childhood and I still cherish the time spent with animals any chance I get. Delighted to provide lots of love, attention, and light grooming. I also send pictures/videos to parents while taking care of their babies. My experience includes giving oral and injection-based medication as well as eye drops, ear drops and topical treatments. I’m also happy to pitch in house tasks, if need be. Your home and pets will be treated with the greatest amount of respect and care. It’s my top priority to provide peace of mind for pet parents while they are away. My service areas are typically majority of Anne Arundel County. I offer pick ups & drop offs for your convenience if requested!

About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication

FAQs for Dog Walking - Avila

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Avila is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 14,941 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Avila. 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 Avila. 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 Avila 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 Avila. 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.
