“I can’t say enough about Adriana! She is professional, easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our dog. She walked him twice daily in our neighborhood and was very detailed with her Rover reports. She also takes amazing pictures!”
“Erin was awesome! She came over to meet Gizmo beforehand and wanted to know about the breed, his personality, his routine, it was so clear she truly cares about the pets she cares for! Gizmo loved his walks and playtime with Erin, She’s the best!”
“Patricia is a wonderful Rover! She is flexible, responsive, patient, and cares for each animal she meets! Our two dogs have very different needs- she asked great questions about each one and made sure both got the attention they needed. Well all be happy to see Patricia again!”
“Tara was great with our two goldens!! She is very communicative and easy to work with and our dogs had a great time with her. Will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“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”
“Hilary did a great job taking care of Mona while we were away. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and it was clear Mona was comfortable and happy in her care. Mona is 17 and has a few extra needs, including medication, and Hilary handled everything perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We’d absolutely book with her 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!”
“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 :)”
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!

“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.”
About: Hello! I truly care for every dog like they’re my own. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pup. I regularly care for my neighbor’s golden retriever and have experience handling different temperaments and energy levels. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and safety. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and committed to making every visit a positive one for both pets and their people! I’m a college student based in New York during the school year, but I return home to Virginia for breaks like summer, Thanksgiving, spring and winter. During those times, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to fully focus on pet care. I love spending my break bonding with animals and giving them the time and attention they need! Feel free to reach out anytime I’m always happy to share my current availability and see if I can accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so the pet feels comfortable and safe. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, while also keeping things clean and calm. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and whether they’re energetic or more laid-back and I always check in with updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
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.
“Patrick has been a tremendous help with my dog’s midday walk. He is reliable, shows up even when it is raining, and gives me helpful updates so I know what has happened on the walk. Definitely recommend him.”
“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!
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!

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.

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.

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.
