“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 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.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 6, and I can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with small dogs and now share my home with three wonderful cats, including a sweet senior. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for not just cats and dogs, but also mice, rabbits, snakes, and even a duck with no legs named Peggy. I also have a soft spot for big dogs who think they’re lap dogs (the best kind!). Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just keeping pets comfy and happy, I love making every furry, feathered, or scaly friend feel at home. I work from home, which means my schedule is super flexible and pet-friendly! I’m usually available anytime after 10 a.m., and I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of love and attention without feeling lonely. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first with me. When I’m caring for them in your home, I create a secure, calm, and dependable environment. I pay close attention to routines, follow instructions carefully, and keep a watchful eye so nothing is overlooked. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.
“Brian was great! Super punctual and a true dog lover who was more than willing and able to handle some extra accommodations for our senior dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!”
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.
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. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I carry my own premium Pet Care/Liability Insurance for your peace of mind. 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: 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.
“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”
“Jason listens carefully to what I like when it comes to training, as Roarke is in training to be a service dog. He also won Roarke’s affection right away. I would recommend him to anyone.”
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.
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: Hello, I’m Sabrina! I have always been involved in animal care spaces. I volunteered as a behavior volunteer for several years at Friends For Life Animal Shelter, where I learned about canine and feline behavior. I am certified in canine and feline CPR and first aid through PetTech! Your furry friend is always safe with me! Last summer, I worked as a canine care attendant at The Barking Muse where I walked dogs, monitored day care, facilitated activities and basic training, and cared for our boarders! I’d love to continue my pet care journey with you! Currently, I’m a college student home for the summer, so my schedule is wide open! I’d love to fill my time by providing quality pet care! I always meet the pet where they’re are at. I will never force a pet to anything it doesn’t want to and believe in understanding their behavior and boundaries. Through this method I’ve successfully addressed anxiety in both cats and dogs and formed meaningful connections!
“Julian is amazing. He took such good care of our girls while we were away. He kept in touch with us and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were safe and cared for.”
“I needed a dog walker last minute & thank God Michael was available. He made sure my dog used the bathroom multiple times, sent a picture & returned him back, no problems. Will absolutely book again!”

About: Hi there, I’m Selvi! A little bit about me… I’m a massive dog lover and have plenty of experience with dogs of different breeds and personalities. I grew up with a feisty and loyal GSD/Chow Chow cutie and later our family welcomed in a fun-loving chocolate lab sweetheart. Recently, I’ve returned to the US after living in Australia for the past couple years. In Melbourne where I lived, I was a pet sitter on a similar site to Rover called ‘Mad Paws’ and looked after numerous furry friends. Here in NY, I currently work for one of the leading dog walking companies. I’ve realized quite quickly this is my *true* dream job. In addition, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a plethora of dog breeds, such as, mixed, corgi, yorkie, poodle, terrier, whippet, dachshund, chihuahua, german pointer, etc. I know how to properly care for dogs and can provide loads of love and affection to them. I’m also a master at research and have delightfully spent my free time learning more about canines and their uniqueness. Moreover, I was a dog foster carer under Victorian Dog Rescue in Australia and adopted a 9-year-old Weimaraner from the rescue group who I previously fostered for six months! He is the best thing that’s ever happened to me 🥺 If you’re keen to discuss more and potentially book with me, please feel free to reach out! Thank you and all the best, Selvi Super flexible and have a light schedule, so I’ve got plenty of time throughout the week to care and host your pet. I prefer requests a couple days in advance, but can certainly work things out for a same-day booking! While I don’t have the luxury of a yard, I can provide long walks, park outings, and mental enrichment to keep your dog happy and satisfied. My dog Bear will also be here to accompany your pup on some fun inside and outside!
About: I am currently new to a career in heaLth care and I graduated from UMD. I’ve grown up with animals all my life ranging from cats, dogs, and tiny furry friends as well. I am energetic and Iove releasing my energy with animals. I am caring, nurturing, and very responsible. My schedule allows me to be very flexible and I am willing to work around a busy animal owners as well! I am a sucker for animals and there’s nothing I won’t do to keep them happy! Send me a message and I will respond as soon as possible! I work full time Mon-Fri 7am-4pm in chevy chase. I wake up early and get home early evening. I’m flexible if need be and I’ll make sure your dog gets some exercise I treat every animal like they’re my own. It’s easier to get along with animals than people! I provide a clean and safe environment for every animal.

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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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.
