“Obuchi was great! She was communicative and was available last minute when another dog walker cancelled on me. She made sure he was happy and able to get his energy out both days. When there was an issue with the water fountain that my pets used she solved and made sure they were well taken care of. Thank you!”

About: I believe it is not only that I like dogs - I believe dogs like me. Dog walker out of Manor Park, NW DC I'm a lifelong dog person. I grew up with Labs and I have had dogs of my own throughout my life as an adult. I am an active person who is not shy about the weather. Rain, snow, and heat don't bother me, and your dog gets a proper walk regardless of the forecast. I come from the school of thought, "there is no bad weather, just bad gear choices." What you can expect: I'll arrive on time, follow your routine (leash, route, treats, any quirks), and send you a photo and short update after each walk. I also dabble in photography, so you'll get good pictures of your pup. Normally I travel with a bag of kibble to give the dogs a small treat at the end of our walk. The dogs really seem to enjoy the treats. I'm happy to do a free meet-and-greet first so your dog and I can get to know each other. Where I walk: Manor Park and nearby neighborhoods, with Rock Creek Park and local parks for longer walks. Midday weekday walks are my specialty, and I'm flexible on days and times. The walk destination usually depends on the location of the house that the dog lives. When in Silver Spring I normally migrate to the closest neighborhood park or Sligo Creek. It all depends on a combination of location and duration of the walk. About me: Just over a year as a professional dog walker on top of my spend with my dogs and the family dogs. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm active, outdoorsy, and reliable, and I treat every dog's walk like it's my own. Currently working part time. The job is flexible so I have good availability. Also - since I am only working part time. Dog walking will be my second job - I will prioritize it as my job. Your pet's health and well being are priority one. I am strong and healthy and keeping your dog safe and under my control is Priority One. When walking I am alert to my surroundings, always in tune with the variables around me. Watching how the dog responds to the world around them. Anticipating and avoiding any dangers or potential conflict. For boarding - my yard is fenced in and I live walking distance to a wonderful park. My house is casual / dogs are allowed on furniture.
About: I’ve had my own fur and feather babies all my life and taken care of many breeds of dogs, cats, birds (Conures, Lorikeets, Parakeets & Caiques to name a few), And I have been a pet foster home caregiver for over 10 years. I currently walk and board animals in my home, specializing in 1-on-1 care. I have work from home flexibility and I have dedicated hours for spending time with your fur baby if you need pet boarding. I accommodate my schedule to adapt to your pets normal home walking, activity & feeding schedule. Overnight stays include two walks per day, one in the morning and one before bed. Any additional walks are 20$. I provide reliable and loving boarding for cats, dogs, parrots, pocket pets & exotics. I also offer flexible drop off and pickup times. I’m located near Takoma Metro. My home is a low-stress, quiet sanctuary for all pets, especially shy or senior pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, exotics & pocket pets. I will walk your dog in my neighborhood or to the nearby park. I have a nice yard in which your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise. I love spending time outdoors while walking dogs! Cats: I am with your cat during the day & set aside play time with them so they can chase ribbons, be rubbed or cuddled. Parrots: I spend quality time with your birds and allow them window space to see the outside world. I only board one animal at a time- unless they are from the same household, ensuring your pet receives quality care. My husband and daughter also assist with the care of your pet. This ensures that they are always cared for and supervised.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all behavioral backgrounds, particularly highly anxious rescue dogs who have been through trauma as puppies from humans, shelters and natural disasters. As a freelance artist, my unique schedule allows me to dedicate time to pet care that a typical 9-5 does not. I have the ability to spend quality time with your pet and flexibility to adapt to your pet's schedule as much as possible. I maintain a calm and caring environment for the pets I care for. I know it can be hard for pets when their owners leave, so I prioritize making their environment feel as normal as it does when their owners are home.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the natural care, patience, and affection I bring to every pet I meet. Dogs truly have my heart! 🐾❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether it's a naturally playful puppy, or one who needs a little extra encouragement or a senior dog who enjoys a slower pace and gentle care, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm also reliable, detail oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents informed and reassured. For me, pet sitting isn't just a job; it's something I genuinely enjoy! 🐾🐶❤️ I'm currently taking a little break from my regular work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! 🐾❤️ I love filling my days with walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship, making sure each pet feels happy, loved, and well cared for. I'm happy to accommodate their routines and give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their family is away! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines and make sure they feel just as happy and cared for as they would with their family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also respect each pet's personality and boundaries, giving them affection when they want it and space when they need it. I treat every home with care and respect, and I'm always happy to share updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured knowing their furry loved ones are in good hands!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for years and have taken care puppies and kitties as well as senior pets. I am happy to walk or metro in the DMV area. I work late night/early morning shifts so I am able to do morning, afternoon, and evening checks. My schedule is also pretty flexible but 1 week notice to fully schedule the visit in my calendar is preferred. I don’t have a vehicle but I am completely open to taking buses or the metro to your home. I’m happy to stay in your home if you need me too. If any medication or diets are needed for them, I will follow instructions and communicate any updates as much as needed.
“Jayden was an all star walker for my dog melee, who requires some special care in his aging years. Jayden communicated well, sent photos, was flexible and all around great to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Victor was great! We needed a Rover at the last minute during the holiday season and he was available. He met up with us the same day to go over everything and communicated the entire time we were out of town. We came back to a very happy dog! We can’t thank him enough and will definitely try to book again if he’s available.”
“Sam is completely reliable. He wrote informative and lengthy descriptions of each walk. He also clearly cared a lot about our dog’s happiness. We have used Sam before and would use him again.”
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I've always had cats of my own. I have cared for many of my friends’ pets while they are away. For many years I had friends for whom I used to dog-sit and cat-sit in their home. They had two cats and two dogs--medium size, collie mix and lab mix, dogs. I have experience walking the dogs, feeding, taking to vet appointments. I have experience walking and caring for my in-laws dogs (golden retrievers and springer spaniels). I am energetic and love playing with cats and dogs. I’m currently working from home (9 to five) so am available throughout the day and evenings and weekends. I’m happy to walk dogs as needed throughout the day. I can host or do over night stays. I have a fenced backyard, though note there are a flight of stairs to get down to the backyard. It is small with some bushes and trees and a paved patio. I enjoy walking (as many times as needed per day) and there many grassy areas near by. I don’t have an issue with dogs in the sofa or beds.

Obuchi was great! She was communicative and was available last minute when another dog walker cancelled on me. She made sure he was happy and able to get his energy out both days.

Landy walks our dog twice a week and we’re so happy to have found her! She walks another dog in the neighborhood and coordinated it so that the two get to socialize, walk together, and play in the yard together for a bit. She is also very communicative, reliable, and takes a bunch of pics.
Menna has been a wonderful dog walker for Charli. She is always on time, communicates clearly, and keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind. Most importantly, she is kind, patient, and caring with Charli, who clearly enjoys spending time with her. We highly recommend Menna to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!
Nicole was fantastic with our lil’ girl - Candy loved Nicole the instant she met her! She was very conscientious with questions, followed instructions to a t, and provided great feedback after each walk. We will definitely hope to book Nicole again in the future if need be!
We love Lilla she leaves the best report card notes and pictures. She's very attentive to our dog Rocky and lets us know if she has any concerns. He recently started new meds and Lilla noticed changes in his attitude and energy and let us know so we could monitor him more closely.

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 Chillum. 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 Chillum 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 Chillum. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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.
