“Candice was phenomenal! I needed to have the Tevya walked 2x per day for a month and it was amazing to have Candice. She was on time, every time, rain or shine, and even provided a bit of training on their walks. Candice was also very tolerant of my dog's idiosyncrasies. If you are looking for a reliable dog walker, look no further!”

About: I've done pet sitting for family and friends for most of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs by making sure they’re well fed, they play, we go walking, and being able to give oral meds if they need. I will be available on marked days, usually weekdays as well as Sundays and occasional Saturdays if needed since l have a flexible schedule during the summer. I take care of my pets diligently and lovingly so I wouldn’t do it any other way for yours! I’m currently on summer break from college, so I’ll be able to give undivided attention to your little angel! I’ll be should be available most days for walking and dog sitting except for Saturdays. (But be sure to check my marked days!) I’m fine with your pet to play in my home freely (within reason haha). There’s also a park and a plain grass space near my home if they want to play and run around there. I do have two shy cats but they’re very nice and have experience being around dogs.

My pups came back happy, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! 🐶❤️”

About: Hi, I'm Hannie! 🐾❤️ I'm a proud pet mom to three furry babies—a 7-year-old pug and two cats, ages 7 and 9! I love traveling, and as a pet owner myself, I know exactly how it feels to leave your babies behind. Even when you're enjoying your vacation, there's always that little worry in the back of your mind: Are they happy? Are they getting enough attention? Are they being loved and cared for? That's exactly why I decided to become a sitter! I want to give other pet parents the same peace of mind I'd want for myself. I've loved animals since I was a little kid, and luckily, they seem to love me right back! ❤️ I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether it's going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply hanging out together. I always try to put their needs first. I also understand that every pet has their own personality. Some want nonstop cuddles, while others prefer a little personal space. I respect their boundaries and let them feel comfortable at their own pace. I previously had a wonderful Golden Retriever who crossed the rainbow bridge at 9 years old. 🌈 She gave me years of love and wonderful memories, along with valuable experience caring for larger dogs. I've also volunteered at a nonprofit senior pet home, helping care for older dogs and cats and supporting their adoption into loving homes. That experience taught me how much patience, understanding, and gentle attention senior pets deserve. My pug and two cats are friendly, relaxed, and enjoy meeting new furry friends! To me, pets aren't just animals—they're family. And I promise to treat your babies with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐶🐱💕 I currently are mostly home doing part time jobs so I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your furry babies! 🐾 As a pet mom to two cats and a pug, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My daily routine includes feeding, walks, playtime in my yard, if request dog park is an option, cuddles, and making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I love spending time with animals, so taking care of additional furry friends fits naturally into my day! I'm happy to accommodate your pet's usual routine and give them the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. ❤️. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾❤️ A Cozy, Pet-Friendly Home 🏡 I work remotely, so I'm home throughout most of the day and can give your furry babies plenty of attention, companionship, and care! My home is pet-friendly, with lots of cozy spots to relax. Pets are welcome to cuddle with me on the sofa, enjoy playtime, or simply hang out by my side. I also have a fully fenced backyard (only if the owners give me permission) where they can enjoy fresh air, outdoor playtime, and potty breaks with supervision. I share my home with a friendly pug and two easygoing cats who enjoy meeting new friends! I always take introductions slowly and carefully, respecting each pet's personality, comfort level, and need for personal space. Personalized Care & Safety 🐶🐱 I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your baby is energetic and playful, shy and independent, or a senior who prefers a peaceful environment, I'll do my best to make them feel right at home. I carefully follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, potty breaks, and daily routines. I'm also happy to provide a quiet space whenever your pet needs some alone time. Care in Your Home ❤️ When visiting your home, I'll respect your space and maintain your pet's familiar routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and litter box care. And of course, I'll send plenty of adorable photos and updates! 📸 As a pet parent myself, I know how much those little updates mean when you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they're on a little vacation of their own—safe, relaxed, spoiled with love, and treated like family! 🐾💕

About: I am new to Maryland, I am originally from Greenville SC! I grew up there my whole life. I developed a loyal clientele over the span of 5 years. I started with neighbors, their friends, their friends, and so on. I was very happy with the level of networking I was able to accomplish, I am excited to enter a new state and meet your sweet furbabies. I am a full time nanny, I work 6am-9am then return to work from 3pm-8pm. I would be able to provide overnight care, be with them during the day (walks, affection, and up to 5 hours of attention). I don't work on weekends, so I am fully avaliable. I am not able to provide housing for animals where I live, becuase of my landlord. As for in the clients home, I like to come and meet the animals before accepting the job. I meet the pet with the owner present to show them I am safe and welcome. If a written care packet is not provided, I bring my own notebook to document routine and special care. I strive to keep their routine the exact same, while building a bond with your pet/s. I write and keep track of everything ahead of time so when the client is out of town/ busy they will only recieve photos (upon request) and/or emergency situations.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I love their companionship. I also like to remain very active and get outside to go for a nice walk, so doing this with a dog is the best of both worlds! I work from the comfort of my home and my job provides me with a lot of flexibility. I will have ample time to make sure your furry loved one gets outside a few times per day and also gets showered with love and attention! I understand that every dog is not the same and might require different things! I'm happy to and will be vigilant in following any and all feeding and care instructions that you need! I want to make sure that your pet is as relaxed and comfortable as possible!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, and I have two cats of my own (Callie & Luda!) I’m dedicated to providing care that gives you a peace of mind throughout your day, or on a long trip! I’m a nonprofit worker who moved to the DMV area in 2024. I work full-time but I only go into the office once a week, meaning that I can easily work remotely while caring for pets across the area. This gives me tons of flexibility to drop by and let your pets out and give them a hug! All my weekday evenings and weekends are all open to dedicate my time to your pets! I’m committed to learning the ins and outs of your home and everything you currently have in place to keep your pet happy and healthy! I will provide periodic checkins to owners (including super cute picture updates!) and won’t hesitate to ask questions if I need to!

About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.

Antoinette did such an amazing job with my dogs. From the meet & greet to the boys first walk she was attentive, professional & ensured the boys were safe by asking questions about where to walk and what she needed to know to keep them safe. She went above and beyond with the boys and as a pet owner that’s all I can ask for while I’m at work. Book her she’s great !!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience! From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know my dog’s unique needs and made sure to follow all of my requests. Knowing that she genuinely cared about my dog gave me so much peace of mind. She was always prompt, reliable, friendly, and incredibly kind. It was obvious that she truly loves what she does, and my dog absolutely adored her. Seeing how excited my dog was to spend time with her meant everything to me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. I would happily book with her again and know my dog would be thrilled to see her.

Aki was readily available for myself and my boys in a short notice on same day, which was greatly appreciated. I needed an extra walk for the day. Both had not done what they needed to do in the morning by my existing walker. She was friendly & accommodating to myself and my boys. I was given details about their & answered my request about eliminating. She was attentive to their needs such as needing water & with care/handling. I liked her upbeat, friendly personality. I would recommend her as a person to give dog services and other pets. Hopefully the boys also get a review for good behavior. :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Clarksburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Clarksburg is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 16,269 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Clarksburg. 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 Clarksburg. 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 Clarksburg 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 Clarksburg. 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.
