“Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”

About: I've taken care of all sorts of different dogs and cats throughout my life. I've had experience with large reactive dogs, dogs who like their space, cats who don't like to be touched, dogs who have endless energy, cats who love all the snuggles, dogs who only selectively like other dogs and the friendliest of pups! I've worked at a kennel for 3 years in the past and have all the patience in the world to make sure you AND your pet is comfortable with me. I’m available all day during summer vacation! I have a ton of flexibility to be able to cater to your schedule. Send me a message to see what I have available! I have the ability to crate and a little senior lady who loves to snuggle with all types of dogs and cats! We will take lots of walks (with permission) and get lots of outside / play time!

About: I have raised chickens, dogs, and cats since I was 11 and have continued to care for pets/animals since then. I have worked in human healthcare for 4 years and have experience with CPR as well. I work with all breeds of dogs and all breeds of cats! I can do fish care as well. I'll take on sitting and walking jobs as it fits into my schedule, since I have a part time job. However, I will work to meet you and your pets' needs! Since I have minimal space for a pet currently, I'll work out of your home with the supplies provided and do whatever necessary to make your pet happy!

About: Hi! I’m Ashleigh 😊 I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have a few years of dog-sitting experience, caring for both my own pets and my neighbors’ dogs. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m available during the afternoon (sometimes early morning)and on most holidays. I currently work during the day, but I’m happy to help on my days off and when my schedule allows. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, and I can care for multiple pets at once. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just some extra companionship. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands 🐾 Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I currently work during the day, so I offer pet care mainly on my days off and when I have daytime availability. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m an animal lover and enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule so each pet gets enough attention, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I keep my availability realistic so I can provide reliable, consistent care for every booking. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any specific care needs. I also spend time giving attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away. I pay close attention to safety, making sure doors, leashes, and environments are secure during visits and walks. I also keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space. I provide updates and photos after visits so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for 🐾

About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my seven -year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home the majority of the time to care for your pet. I work from home three out of five days a week, and I am available on weekends. I am in the office two days per week, However, I drive home on my lunch hour to care for our new friends. I will provide your pet with a quiet, safe environment. If you are boarding your pet with me, I will ensure they receive care tailored to their unique needs and personality

“Thank you! Lillie was able to come by with very little notice and arrived right on time. She was easy to communicate with and very patient with Squidward, who is shy and nervous around new people. They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”

About: I've been caring for animals for more than 20 years, starting with my own cats when I was 13. Over the years, I've also pet sat for friends, neighbors, and members of my community, and for nearly 10 years they've trusted me to care for their pets while they're away. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, including senior animals and those with ongoing health concerns. I understand the importance of following routines, administering specialized care, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I primarily support my wife's career, which gives me almost open availability throughout the week. The only times I'm typically unavailable are briefly around 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM when I'm giving her a ride to and from work. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your cat needs morning and evening visits, midday check-ins, or care over multiple days. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to make sure they receive consistent, reliable care and plenty of attention while you're away. Because I have two cats of my own, I don't offer boarding in my home. Instead, I provide care in your pet's home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks, and I'm happy to tailor my care to your pet's individual needs. Whether that means feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, administering routine care, playing with energetic pets, or simply spending quiet time giving them attention and affection, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're used to at home.

About: I am an experienced pet owner and have cared for multiple cats and dogs at the same time, including puppies, kittens, and dogs of all sizes. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll send photos and videos during my visits so you can see that your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of care and attention. I also understand that life doesn’t always go as planned, so I offer last-minute care whenever my schedule allows. My goal is to provide calm, confident, and compassionate care so your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for until you’re home again. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. My open availability allows me to accommodate regular visits as well as many last-minute requests. I treat every client's home with the same respect and care that I would my own. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I'll ensure your home is secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. You can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and attentive during every visit.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. I’ve taken care of and handled anything from big dogs to newborn puppies, long-haired cats to barn kitties, rats, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, chickens, turtles and fish! I love every animal as if they are my own and strive to make them as happy, comfortable and loved as possible. My current schedule is extremely flexible. I always have Thursdays and Fridays open. When I do work, my shifts are only 4-6 hours at a time so I can be with your fur babies! I am well versed in animal body language. I have no issues with training, crating, and playing with many different kinds of pets! I enjoy giving your animals lots of love and attention but can also understand and respect when animals need their own personal space!

About: I have been with rover, dog bording, since 2018. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷‍♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ballards Corners

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,479 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ballards Corners. 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 Ballards Corners. 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 Ballards Corners 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 Ballards Corners. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
