About: I grew up with a high-energy Siberian husky and a large mutt (~80 lbs) who were both dog reactive. I learned how to handle them from as soon as I was strong enough to not get pulled into the street! I loved taking them on runs, hikes, long walks, and pretty much anything outdoors. I currently have a two-year-old golden retriever mix at home who loves people, playing, dog parks, hikes, loafing on the couch, and lots of attention (all of which I am more than happy to provide for her). I was recently laid off and am returning to school to get EMT certified soon, so I have a lot of free time to care for your dog! I have housesat for friends with smaller dogs in the past as well and would welcome the opportunity to housesit any size dog :) I am located near town center market in Riverdale Park and have a car. I'm currently in evening classes so other than that I have most weekdays free for walks at whatever time is most convenient for you. For housesitting, I would need time to attend those classes and walk my own dog but would be able to not leave your dog unattended for more than 2 hours at a time. I will be very respectful of your home and would happily attend to any plants you have as well (I enjoy gardening quite a bit). I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your house. I will also send updates at whatever frequency you prefer!
“Zada communicated with me about my little guy and how his walk went. I could tell from her feedback that she was very aware of his sensitivity to sound and overall overstimulation from the city. Despite his sensitivity, she was patient with him and let him continue to explore on his walk. You definitely want Zada walking your fur babies :)”
“Alexandra has been a wonderful new buddy and walker for my dog. She is patient, communicative, consistent and caring. We’ll definitely be working with her more in the future!”
“Carla was on time and sent me pictures of the walk she took with my dog. I appreciate her help and she has been flexible with my confusing schedule. Would recommend and plan to use her services again in the future.”
About: Growing up, caring for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, I’ve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service requested. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.
“Highly recommend Zach! He has just started walking my dog, Cooper, M-F for the past 2 weeks and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Zach is incredibly reliable and punctual, and he has a natural way with dogs that is evident in how excited Cooper gets whenever he sees him. Also takes fire photos of Cooper too!”
About: I’ve loved getting to take care of my family’s dogs. I’ve also had the chance to take care of friend’s dogs, cats and other pets. I am incredibly organized and highly communicative which will help make sure I give your pet the best care I can. I’m always looking to learn more and support your animals needs. I have a very flexible schedule! I am working part time and can find ways to fit pet care into my schedule. I would be happy to discuss options with you! When coming to your home I would take great care in making sure I retain the practices that you and your pets are comfortable with. I would appreciate clear instructions about how I can care for your animals.
About: I provide reliable dog care including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and medication if needed. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult, and senior dogs while following each pet’s routine. I use patience and positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, and my flexible part-time schedule allows me to give every dog personalized attention and dependable care. My part-time schedule allows me to provide flexible, attentive care for pets while giving them the patience. I focus on trust, patience, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent while they’re in my care. I have a safe and comfortable space for pets when they are in my care, and when caring for pets in their own home, I am respectful of their space and routines.
About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.
About: I’ve had two wonderful dogs since they were 10 weeks old. We’ve completed dog training classes together and I’ve learned all about pet care through them. Im currently working from home and never travel because I have a toddler son and 2 dogs, so im often available on weekends for pet care and during the week for walks I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and a large house for plenty of play space. I’m also experienced with picky eating dogs.
About: While I’ve always had dogs growing up, I am also very well-versed in dog and cat sitting. Whether that’s walking, feeding, changing cat litter, or simply keeping them company. I’m currently working part-time so pet care fits great into my daily/weekly routine! I can do daily visits up to 3 times a day, whatever fits your schedule best. I will care for your pets however you prefer. Whether that’s a walk, check-in, letting them go outside, or watching your cat(s).
“Trinity has been an excellent daytime walker for my dog. She’s reliable and communicative, but most importantly she takes great care of my pup. I definitely would recommend her to anyone interested.”
About: I volunteered at the Milwaukee Humane Society doing dog walking for one year with dogs of all ages, backgrounds, and sizes! I also have taken care of 1 senior dog for a year, 2 pups for a couple weeks, and 3 dogs (two being seniors!) for 2 years. In addition to this, I have 8 years of equine experience (13 years of riding, 8 of chores, and 3 of farm staying), and I've also watched goats, ducks, and chickens on these beautiful farms! I'm confident with medications and different personalities because of these experiences. I'm a full-time student currently, so my weeks are pretty open! I am very flexible and will always be able to make time for your pet. Early mornings and evenings are my most available times! I am a very attentive caretaker who followers instructions precisely. Seriously, precisely - I will ask lots of questions if I'm confused! I love spending time with pets, whether playing or relaxing. I do have a cat in my home, so your pet must be okay with a cat!
About: My place is YOUR pet haven away from home! I’m very outgoing, spontaneous, adventurous, and responsible. I’m very full of life and love for animals. The energy your pet has will certainly be met. I enjoy the ability to help others so guarantee that you could trust me! Is your pet ready to be even more spoiled and loved? Because I know I’m ready for the job :) Schedule currently booked Coaching in Montgomery County Public Schools Monday-Friday Serving on Saturdays and Sundays 10 Ten More Words Left Til The End Of This Excerpt always kept safe Inside or on lead plenty of outside time mandatory photos To ensure Safety and fun Seven More Words Left Til The End

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Maria has been just exceptional! She’s been walking my boy regularly for the last few weeks and she really puts her heart into looking after him. It was too hot to take him out for a full 1/2 hour so she spent the remainder of the time playing with and petting him. She’s also been great at letting me know how he’s been during the day. I’d highly recommend her!
Astrid was such a blessing. I needed someone last minute to take our Charlie out for a midday walk. She stepped in and graciously accepted. She was thorough and asked thoughtful questions I took for granted. It was a burden lifted to see the pictures of him happily exploring outdoors. If you want professional and reliable care, I highly recommend Astrid!
Lilla was fantastic!! Often going above and beyond to make sure our puppy had an amazing experience with her. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and/or video to let us know our puppy was doing well. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to walk Molly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in College Park on Rover is $19.98 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 .

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 College Park. 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 College Park.

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 College Park. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
