“Emily arrived on time and was so friendly and warm greeting Sadie. She definitely provided Sadie a great walk and rewarding experience. I would definitely use Emily again?”

About: I've been taking care of animals ranging from large dogs, kittens and cats, hamsters, and even goats my entire life, whether its feeding, walking, or even just hanging out with. I'm happy to work with young animals all the way up to seniors and provide any unique care they may need! I am the biggest animal lover and can make sure your pet will feel loved and cared for. I am currently home on summer break and have lots of availability. I occasionally will be away for a long weekend at the beach, but I am available otherwise for quick check ins, overnight stays, or whatever is needed. I have plenty of cat toys, bowls, beds, and space for your pets to make themself comfortable in. I would typically prefer to come to your home for dogs but will be able to accommodate if that is not possible for you!
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
“Brian took great care of my girl, Lemon! He made sure the plan for Lem was super clear beforehand, which I especially appreciated since the schedule I gave him to complement my friend's visit schedule was not perfectly regular, and he didn't miss a visit! He also had to deal with a terrible cold spell, but when he couldn't walk Lemon for more than 5 minutes at a time (about all she can tolerate when it's that cold), he took her for two short walks to make sure she did all her business and then played ball with her in the house. We came home to a dog who, while happy to see us, was clearly doing just fine without us, which is all I can ask for :)”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I started dog walking and pet sitting in middle school and have continued ever since. In high school, I interned at a veterinary office, where I gained experience working with animals in a medical setting, and during college I worked at a dog daycare caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with pets that have different routines, energy levels, and care requirements, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in graduate school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care to make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency. I have availability during weekdays, evenings, and many weekends, and I split my time between the Baltimore County/Hunt Valley area and Ocean City, which gives me flexibility to accommodate a variety of clients and schedules. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is a great balance alongside school. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I always follow routines closely, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I can also take care of chickens, horse, rabbits, hamsters, and fish when you are away. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.
“My girl Rosy is a special needs dog. She's afraid of everything. The 1st time she met Julian she licked him. He's sweet and kind and very patient with her. I highly recommend him.”
“Above and beyond. While my girl Gemma was ready for her walk, my puppy Nico was very apprehensive it came time. Mike was super patient and understanding, taking extra time to win Nico over. This guy is who you want walking your anxious and nervous puppies! Definitely recommend, booking future walks now :)”
“My Zeus is so happy with Dimitri that when he arrives he grabs his leash and refuses to let us say hi! We are extremely happy with Dimitri he is on time and communicates very well with any changes or updates. I would highly recommend him just not on my day and time.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
About: As a mom to a 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I know from experience how much attention and care impact an animal’s life, their behavior, health, and even their mood. I walk my dog twice a day because I know how much energy a Golden Retriever has and how important these walks are for their physical and mental health. I’m a very active person, so I love spending energy with dogs on walks and playtime. I love all animals, but dogs are my favorites because of their intelligence and genuine affection. You can rest assured that your pet will be very well cared for with me, and we will definitely burn plenty of energy on our walks together Most days I’m available after 9 a.m., once I drop my husband at the office, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays. At the moment, I live in an apartment, so the safest and most comfortable option for your pet is for me to provide drop-in visits and walks, rather than full-time boarding in my home. During visits, I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, always making sure doors and windows are secure and your home is respected
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.
“Curtis is a delightful young man. He is a loving and energetic dog walker and enjoys greeting and interacting with the cats when he comes by. Bonus: he’s a lovely conversationalist. I highly recommend Curtis.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Butler is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Butler
We had a FANTASTIC experience with Emily! I cannot say enough good things about her. I am an annoyingly overprotective dog mom, so it takes a lot for me to trust anyone with my dogs. Emily is so patient and accommodating, and my 2 dogs absolutely LOVE her! And most importantly, I am at ease knowing they are in good hands when I can't be with them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,064 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Butler. 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 Butler. 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 Butler.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Butler. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
