“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.”
About: I am reliable, responsible, active and caring. I owned and trained a Chiweenie for 3 years and would love to pet sit, dog walk or board for you! I work remotely most days. I am free to dog walk/board on most weekends and the occasional weekday. I am also free early mornings and after 5pm. Due to primary work schedule, last minute requests are actually preferred! 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!
“Gabrielle had been very timely and communicative about what happens on their visits. Very quick to reply when I ask about availability. Great service all around! Thank you.”
“Kristina is such a lovely person. Delilah took to her immediately! We could tell that D had a great time with K, as she (D) lingered until K closed the door behind her. The walk tuckered D out! We definitely want K to continue walking D!”
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.
“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 did a wonderful job walking our Shih Tzu, Paige while we were on vacation. Thank-you for taking care of her. Very reliable and communicated via the Rover app.”
About: I'm newly retired and looking to trade a desk for walks, playtime, and fun with our furry friends. In addition to a lifetime of caring for family pets, including cats, dogs, and birds, I volunteer with a local pet rescue, helping with walks and at adoption events. I am comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and behavioral quirks. Although I am not a certified trainer, I continue to use online classes and resources to increase my understanding of the latest training and enrichment practices for pets. I fully believe that keeping a pet at home reduces stress and keeps then happier while you are away. I will likewise communicate with you on your preferred schedule to ensure you know your pretty is happy and well cared for while you are away. I am retired, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can stop in for walks or do a full house sit, as needed. As long as I am in town, I should be available on relatively short notice. I will treat your home as it were my own and I will give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I know that leaving your pet with a stranger can be stressful, so I am happy to meet ahead of time to make sure you and your pets are both comfortable with me. I will also communicate regularly while you are away so you can rest assured that things are good at home. In the case of an emergency, I will work with your protocols to get your pet immediate care.
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: I’ve been taking care of my dog, Anderson, since I was 8 years old. I’ve always loved animals, and their happiness and care is of the utmost importance to me! I have been using Rover to care for pets for the past 5 years, with my older sister Alexis. Over the years we have made many long lasting friendships with furry pets and their families. Every pup I’ve ever met through this app I’ve fallen in love with!! As a college student, I haven’t had the chance to see my Rover friends at home. However, when I go home for breaks I have nothing to do but work or sit around. My schedule is wide open to watch your pets during holidays, or even do drop ins while I’m here at school for any of my Maryland friends!! When I dog sit at home, the dog is free to the entire house, and can lay in my bed if that is okay with the owner! We have dog bowls, a fenced in backyard, and a walking trail that I take my dog on when I am home! I will keep my senior dog separate from the clients if that is what they want. When I am at a clients home, I appreciate when semi-detailed instructions are left in regards to what you would like for me to do with your pets care!! It usually consists of walking, playing, feeding, and just hanging out:)
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: 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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in College Park on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 17,745 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 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.
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 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.
