“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’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.

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.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs, having grown up with them since childhood. From Shih Tzus to Great Danes, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and understand their unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering prescription pills safely, so your dog’s health is in great hands. Working from home allows me to provide endless walks and personalized attention, while your dog is always welcome on the furniture, ensuring they feel loved and at ease. Whether at your home or mine, I offer a safe, caring environment for your furry family member. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I work from home, which allows me to provide constant attention and care to your dog. My schedule is flexible, and I’m completely available Friday through Monday to ensure your dog receives the exercise, playtime, and care they need. I structure my day around regular walks, feeding, and cuddles, with plenty of breaks for relaxation. I’m also experienced in administering medication safely and dealing with dogs that have anxiety. In my home, your pet will enjoy a cozy, loving environment where they are free to relax and roam, including access to furniture so they feel completely at ease. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and dedicated cuddle sessions, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I also stick to your pet's feeding and medication schedules to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as familiar as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, and any special care needs. I also make sure your home remains safe and comfortable for your dog, with lots of love and attention during my visits. I believe in respecting both my clients and their furry friends, so I offer in-person visits or virtual consultations to meet your pet, understand their needs, and discuss any boundaries you have. Whether in my home or yours, I treat each pet like part of the family!

“Gem was wonderful! She kept me updated, sent photos, and was very flexible while stopping by to walk my pups. Since Ivy can be a little unsure at first, she took the time to walk them separately, taking one out and then coming back for the other. Once Ivy warmed up, she was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated Gem’s patience and care. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I owned a dog for 11 years, have walked and boarded multiple neighborhood dogs over the past few years. I love walking dogs, taking them to the dog park, and taking care of them. I’m in-between jobs so my schedule is flexible and access to a car. As a runner, I love being outside and on my feet, and dogs give me a great excuse to do that! At my home, my first priority is making sure dogs don’t have access to food that would harm them. I’m happy to use an owners crate when overnighting dogs, but otherwise they sleep in my small dog bed.

About: I have 12+ years of hands-on pet-sitting experience. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, cats, and a variety of other animals. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine, needs, and temperament, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m a fully remote worker and I am available to give your pets as much attention as they need. Whether you prefer me to stop by several times per day or would rather I hang out with them all day long, I will be able to accommodate to your preference. I prefer to be as hands-on as possible and spend as much time with your pets as I can. My wife and I have a French bulldog of our own (that can be quite needy!), so I am accustomed to giving pets as much attention as they desire.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and species. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats requiring extra patients, medication, and specialized care. I understand that every pet has a unique need, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. In addition to cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience, caring for reptiles, including maintaining proper habitat, control, modern touring temperature and humidity, feeding specialized diet, and following individual care routines. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, medication, or simply a calm and compassionate companion, I can provide dependable and attentive care tailored to their needs. I work remotely three days a week and my weekends are open. I can pop in between meetings to care for your pet and provide the attention that they deserve. My priority is maintaining their normal routine, so they feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while you are away. I follow each care, instructions closely, including feeding schedules, freshwater, medication, walk, exercise, playtime. I also make sure your home is treated with the same respect as your pets. Communication is very important to me, so I send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind that your pets are happy, healthy, and receiving the care that they deserve. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in College Park is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 15,610 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 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 , 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 , 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 .

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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
