“Kacy and Justin did another fantastic job looking after our little buddy Bear while we were taking a much needed vacation. It's such a comfort to know that he's receiving such loving care when we're not able to , and they always send such adorable pictures! Highly recommended sitters!”
“So happy we have Samantha walking our Siberian Husky several days a week. She is so pleasant, poised, punctual and professional. Merida is very much enjoying Samantha's company!”
“I was nervous getting a dog walker at first. As someone who had been in the petcare industry myself for 10+ years ,you see the good and the bad. But Connie is the most reassuring and animal loving person I have met in this area. Our puppy Brooklyn loves her. She makes sure our puppy gets lots of attention. I greatly appreciate everything she has done.”
“She was absolutely amazing! We truly loved working with her. She sent us so many photos of our dog and was always on time! I definitely recommend hiring her. You won’t regret it :)”
“Lauren was a pleasure to work with and having her help was greatly appreciated and our pups enjoyed her visiting ! She's very responsive and takes in feedback very well! I would recommend her to others.”
“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”
About: We’re a dog-loving family with a dog of our own, and caring for animals is part of our everyday life. We treat every dog like one of ours, with attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your dog won’t just be supervised, they’ll be cared for and welcomed as part of our pack! We have a large, fully fenced, flat backyard ~ the perfect adventure space for your furbabies! With one of us working from home and the other a teacher, our home runs in a relaxed and organized way. Dogs get regular walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. We keep things predictable enough for dogs to feel comfortable, and flexible enough to meet their individual needs. We value your dog’s safety and comfort. Our home features a spacious fenced yard for fun play and exercise. We’re attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and boundaries, and we take time to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in their own homes, we respect their routine and space, keeping things familiar and stress-free.
“Dominique is absolutely amazing with my dog Scarlet. From our initial meet and greet and all of her time and questions about my dog's specific needs, I knew she was a really caring and experienced dog handler. She knows my dog (unfortunately) loves to eat things off the ground and has to be watched liked a toddler, so she's incredibly attentive (and patient) with Scarlet. Would give Dominique 10 stars if I could and grateful to have her walking Scarlet on a weekly basis!”
“We are so grateful to have found Shelby! It's such a relief to know that my pup is getting exercise and attention while I am at work all day. I highly recommend Shelby!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs, and love all dogs. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to take care of their dogs. This includes feeding, exercising, medication and play time! I am experienced with handling puppies and with senior dogs as well. I currently don’t have any other commitments, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your doggies! I’m available Sunday through Saturday all day and or night. I will follow set instructions if you have any in regards to being in your home. Otherwise, I will care for your beloved puppy like they are my own and use my judgment.
About: Growing up, we’ve always had at least one dog in the house which contributed to my love of animals. I would love to help you care for your pets in times when you are unable. With extra time on my hands, I’ve decided it would be great to help nearby pet families by offering reliable dog walking and pet sitting services to ensure their pets are well cared for. Boundaries are essential for both pets and humans. Respecting your pet’s home and space is the first step toward establishing a sense of comfort and trust.

About: My whole life we had cats and dogs. I have house sat for neighbors and friends with pets since I was ten years old. I currently own a rabbit. I have also cared for all kinds of rodents, fish, and reptiles. I have trained puppies and kittens and a bunny. I also cared for my older dachshund and gave him shots and necessary medications. I work part time teaching yoga throughout the week and have lots of availability. I only have custody of my kids every other week making my week without them a great time for extra hours and house sitting. I keep pets from being hungry, thirsty, or bored. I keep pets nicely groomed and their areas and things nicely cleaned. I offer direct focus and affection. I can walk or run with dogs. I love doing yoga on the floor and watching cats or my rabbit climb all over me and get affection.
About: Hi! My name is Coreen, but I go by Cory, and my family has always had pets of one kind or another for my entire life. There has always been at least one dog, explains why I'm a "dog person", but there have also been cats, fish, snakes, birds, and even a lizard or two. I currently have 2 little dogs, Tinkerbell and Miss Pickles, and my two humans (my husband and son). My son often accompanies me when I do walks or visits, he is 20, high functioning autistic, and LOVES dogs. He can look at your dog and tell you what breed (or mix of breeds) he or she is, what that breed was originally intended for, any health issues the breed is known for...he's basically a walking dog encyclopedia! He has also recently completed an animal care course, including certification in animal CPR, through the state of Maryland. We would love to meet you and get to know you and your four legged family members!!! I currently work 3 days a week, my son helps if there are days during your desire time frame that I have to go into work. I usually do not care for animals in my home, due to the fact that I do not currently have the set up necessary to do so.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballenger Creek
Connie was the best!! I just got my pup from a shelter and he was a big boy with lots of energy and very little training. Connie took the time address issues he was struggling with in training and still make sure he was getting the exercise he needed. You can tell how much love she has for the dogs she works with. I definitely will be booking with Connie in the future.
Anhelika was great with our little guy. She helped us out and took him on a 30 minute walk during the work day that gave us peace of mind he was taken care of while we are working. He had a great time and looks forward to walking around the neighborhood with his new friend again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ballenger Creek on Rover is $22.2 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 5,448 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ballenger Creek. 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 Ballenger Creek. 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 Ballenger Creek.

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 Ballenger Creek. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
