“Hilary was great with our pug! She was reliable and provided updates and was even able to get our girl back in her crate after her walk, when she can be a bit stubborn. She was communicative and made booking and everything easy! Will definitely book Hilary again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to follow specific routines, feeding instructions, and care needs to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in school and have class Monday through Thursday from 6–8 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, and other pet-care needs throughout the week, including weekends. I have a pet-friendly apartment in a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home. My apartment also has access to a dog park, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive, loving care and that their routine and individual needs are respected while they’re with me.
“Peter has been so great with my dog Milo! He has a history of anxiety and is not always great with other dogs, but Peter has been so patient with him despite his quirks! I look forward to continue booking him for future care needs :)”
“Lindsay has done an amazing job with our little guy! She handles his high energy so well and makes sure to give our pup tons of love. Very thorough and great at communicating.”
“Patricia was so great with my boy, Rudy! She kept me up to date during his walks and made sure he had everything he needed before leaving. She made sure he was happy and loved while I was away! I would absolutely recommend Patricia to take care of your fur baby and will definitely be using her again! 😊”
“Mounia was fantastic! Great communication throughout, lots of photos, and really patient with both me and my pup - which is especially appreciated since we just moved to the neighborhood. Will definitely book again!”
“Cindy is amazing! I loved how we had an introduction call the night before for logistics and my Coraline looked so happy on her walk with her new friend Bentley!”
“Erin is reliable, caring, and took great care of Louie. Communication was great, and we appreciated the updates and photos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Julia has been wonderful to work with. She has done an exceptional job of taking care of our dog. When Bear had some issues out our house, while he was alone Julia took the extra steps to take care of the situation. I can highly recommend her. Thanks, Julia”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have always loved being around dogs. I often help friends walk and care for their dogs, and dogs usually warm up to me quickly. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, and I love spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m patient, responsible, and always happy to follow your pet’s usual routine. I also have experience caring for cats and other pets. I currently have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, keep dogs securely leashed during walks, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I make sure everything is secure before leaving and will send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“The doggies and I love Patrick!! He is kind, consistent, reliable and thoughtful in his care. He communicates well, keeping me up to date on the current activities and of any scheduling issues (rare). Thank you!”
“Excellent service looking after my dog for walks twice a day. Lots of pictures and updates to let me know how things were going and I have already had Tara look after my dog once more since! Thanks!”
“Victor is very friendly and responsive. He walks my dog on a regular basis and often is gone longer than the scheduled 30 minutes. He also took the liberty of cleaning my dog’s crate when she made a mess in it, which I really appreciate, and he also provides my cats with some love too during his visit, which I know they enjoy!”
About: I am not just a sitter but a passionate pet enthusiast. With years of experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities, I take the time to gain their trust. Whether your cat or dog is playful, energetic or shy I am dedicated to providing a tailored experience that best suits them! I work a 9-to-5 job with WFH flexibility and week-to-week scheduling variability, making it easier for my walks, check-ins, visits with your pets! Ensuring the happiness and health of your beloved companions is my top priority. I will treat your pets like my own while in your home. I am familiar with emergency protocols and can handle any unexpected situations with calmness and urgency
“Randy is an incredible dog sitter. He is communicative, timely, thoughtful, and just all around an asset to the Rover community. He sends plenty of pictures and updates and is incredibly patient with our Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. I can’t recommend Randy enough!”
“Sun has been great with our dog (Max), a 95-pound Staffy-Boxer mix, who can be excitable and overly rambunctious at times. Sun is very responsive to messages through Rover and has been very accommodating when unexpected circumstances crop up (e.g., ensuring Max has dinner if we have to stay late at the office). She’s also surprised Max with the occasional treat (like puppy pops on warm days), but she always checks in ahead of time to make sure he’s allowed to have them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Brogan was fantastic! We hired her to walk our dogs, Aiko and Luna, once a day while we were away on our honeymoon, to help my mom who was watching Aiko for us. She made the whole experience completely stress free. Communication was excellent. Anytime we reached out, she responded quickly, and she kept us updated without us having to ask. She was also proactive about planning around days with rain in the forecast, which we really appreciated. She was punctual every single time. Most importantly, both dogs loved her. As their walk time got closer, they would actually wait by the door for her to arrive. That tells you everything you need to know. I would 100% recommend Brogan and would absolutely book her again in the future. Book with Brogan with complete confidence!

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 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.

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 .

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.
