About: I grew up in a rural family surrounded by animals, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, my family has had several dogs of different sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I have a particularly strong connection with dogs, and people tend to trust me with their pets because I am very gentle, patient, and attentive. I have a naturally nurturing personality and I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, basic care, and following each pet’s usual routine. I understand that every dog has a different personality and pace, so I always adapt my care to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m currently a PhD student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to adapt easily to different pet care needs. I can often accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, and overnight stays throughout the week. My academic work also means I spend a lot of time working independently, so I can organize my routine around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and feel more comfortable and relaxed. I can follow their usual routine closely, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always try to make pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
“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 14 years of equine experience (14 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've watched cats many times as well, on the farm and at people's homes! 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 have one cat, Puma, who is very pampered.

I am a House Director for UMD Student Housing and have a two bedroom apartment. There is plenty of space in the house for a large or small dog. Good for dogs that like people and belly rubs!
“Jane was great! I could tell from how relaxed my little boy was when I got home each day that he felt really comfortable with her. Her walks were always on time, she sent photos and responded to questions I had about my dog’s health. I would definitely recommend her.”
“So gentle with our pup who was a little wary for the first walk. She had great dog sense and patience and got our dog to warm up. Always punctual, great pictures, and our dog is a huge fan! Also cleaned up a little accident - above and beyond!”
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 been pet sitting for over 7 years, caring for dogs of all sizes. As a college student, I’m reliable, flexible, attentive, and committed to excellent care. Hi, I’m currently on break from school and available every day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, exercise, companionship, and updates daily!

About: Hi! I'm Coralie, you can call me Coral! I'm a high-energy, fun-loving women's health advocate, yoga teacher, and most importantly, a pet sitter to furry friends across the DC metro area and beyond. As a cat mom of two purrfect girls, lifelong cat owner and rover pet sitter for 3+ years - I understand pets are our family, which is why I love to connect with pet parents prior to offering support to learn more about your pet's needs. When booking with me I can guarantee lots of photos, updates and personalized attention to your pets as desired, whether cuddles, play, or both! ** Additional notes: I am experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments, breeds, ages, and medical conditions. I can administer oral medication. I particularly enjoy working with households that have multiple cats. For dogs, I am happy to care for small to large sizes. I am not able to accept giant breeds at this time. At this time, I am happy to offer flexible scheduling options for new and returning pet parents for all of my services: house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits. I have availability 6–7 days a week, from early morning to late evening! **Meet and Greets: For safety, security, and your pet's comfort, a meet and greet is required for all bookings. The easiest option is a video call, but if you would prefer an in-person meet and greet, a booking is required. For dog walking and house sitting, I strongly encourage an in-person meet and greet to ensure I am the best support option for your pet! **Cancellations and Modifications: If a service has already been confirmed and is 3 days or less away, I do not accept cancellations or modifications outside of emergencies. This means you will be charged for the full service you initially booked, regardless of changing circumstances. Delight is in the details! As your pet/house sitter, I chat with every pet parent to get the scoop on what's needed from me. While I am self-sufficient and can work with minimal details, I encourage families to share as much as they can about the intricacies of their pets' behaviors, personalities, and even house rules or quirks to be aware of. This way, everyone's comfortable and satisfied, and all responsibilities get done so we can all have a delightful time. **Additional notes: I do have a personal vehicle to transport pets in the case of any emergency.

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!
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.
Micaela was amazing and she is the sweetest! I messaged her very early in the morning to walk my dog Kato and she was at my apartment within 2 hours! Her responsiveness and communication throughout the entire booking was exceptional! My baby absolutely loved her, not to mention he was exhausted after their walks! Thank you Micaela, I will be booking again!
Alexander was very quick to respond. Enjoyed our meet and greet. Our dog loved him and his wife right away! He is very detailed with information about his outing/walks with our dog with pictures and a trail map of his route. I would use him again without a problem!
Astrid adores my pup and the feeling is very mutual.I tI booked a last minute Saturday dog walk so my pJack wouldn't be home alone all day while I entertained of town guests. Astrid came by walked Jack and refilled his kibble.She knows the exact spots on Jacks neck and behind his ears to scratch so he just loves Astrid after only a few short weeks. She is very responsive and everything we could ever want in a dog walker. Highly recommend!.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in College Park is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 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 17,297 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across College Park. 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 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 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 College Park 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 College Park. 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.
