Gina is patient and gentle with my old pup. I am so appreciative of her attention to his needs. She’s also very understanding of his temperament.

Natalie and Dan have been so understanding, patient and knowledgeable- which has been great for my pup who needs a little extra time to get acclimated to new people / has some reactivity and guarding tendencies. The dedication, experience and care that they bring to working with fur babies is such a gift! We love working with them!

Michael was so great helping me out at the last minute when I got stuck away from home. He was patient especially when he found my dog had ripped open a bunch of of beef jerky and made sure to let me know asap! The criminal dog survived and Michael save my butt.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young, I usually specialize with cats and dogs since they’re mostly my favorites but I’m up for anything I currently work part time doing security work so I usually have time to house sit or go for walks whenever I’m not at work and I can call out if an emergency sitting is needed. I usually have my eyes on the pets at all times, they’re either nearby or directly in my view in case anything happens or they need to be get or taken care of but I can’t house them in my home.

About: I have been an animal lover as long as I’ve been alive. For 15 years I have been responsible for caring for a variety of animals but mainly Dogs and Cats. I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of medical issues. I understand the importance of consistency when it comes to caring for a pet in general but especially when they have health concerns. Comfortable around all breeds and sizes. Knowledgeable in leash training, potty training, and crate training. Just like people all animals have their own unique personality. Excited to care for your best friend like they were my own! I do occasionally work on the weekends so there could be 7-8 hour periods between me being with your pet. Would let you know my work schedule if that overlap with care. If no fenced in yard at residence will keep dog on a leash at all times outside the home. I am respectful of peoples homes since that is your safe space. My yard is fenced at my residence so if you wanted your pet to stay with me they would need to be comfortable around 2 fosters cats and children.

About: From a young age I always loved animals. It started with a turtle which quickly became cats and dogs as I got older. I don’t believe in abusing anything, so I wouldn’t ever allow any animal to be abused in any way, shape or form. They are precious. I’m currently about to start working a job that allows me to be part time so I have free time on my hands to care for any dog or cat necessary. I do have a backyard and there’s a dog park close that allows me to walk on a daily basis . I follow any and all routines needed.

About: Growing up I have had many family pets and have loved taking care of and bonding with every one of them. I have dog/ cat/ lizard/ snake/ bunny sat for different friends and families throughout the years and I enjoyed every second. It’s so cool learning and experiencing time with different types of animals. I remember the first time I was asked to cat sit for friends for a weekend and felt so honored. They verbally expressed their relief and trust in me to watch their precious baby and I was just glad to help my friends out while spending time with a little cutie. Now I wish to provide relief and comfort for more families and get to meet some new fun little fur babies !! I currently work a part time job so majority of my days are full of a lot of free time ! Most of my shifts tend to average around 5-6 hours so I am free after as well :) I will treat your home and pet(s) exactly as I would my own. Nothing but care and respect in every aspect. I am putting my trust in you just as you are with me. I believe in providing and maintaining a nice community wherever I go.

What a good thing to be able to trust someone with your dog and with Tiffany I felt it 100%. She was communicative- sending lots of updates and photos. From the photos it’s evident how happy my Nera was with being cared for and walked by Tiffany. Would rebook without hesitation.

About: My nephew growing up always said that "I take dogs and kids". I've always had a dog of my own and cared for other's dogs while they travelled or worked. We currently only take dogs at the moment. My daughter refers to herself as a "Dog whisper" I hope your dog is camera ready because she is the master at getting the best doggie photos. I’m currently home and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be present throughout the day, and I’m also available on weekends when needed. My flexible schedule means your pet will have consistent supervision, companionship, and care in a comfortable home environment I care for pets by ensuring they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes providing fresh food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I follow any specific instructions given by the pet owner, such as feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines. I also monitor the pet’s behavior and health, keeping the owner updated as needed. Cleanliness is important, so I maintain tidy living spaces, clean up after pets, and ensure their bedding and areas are well-kept.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Capitol Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Capitol Heights on Rover is $21.4 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 16,730 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Capitol Heights. 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 Capitol Heights. 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 Capitol Heights.

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 Capitol Heights. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
