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!”
“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: Animals have a way of knowing right away if someone is truly present with them. I believe in developing that trust and making a new furry friend. Whether it’s an energetic dog ready to explore or a cautious, reserved cat who needs space before asking for chin scratches, I have an affinity for connecting with pets and treating them with respect. I have experience managing schedules for both dogs and cats keeping feed times, maintaining routines, and making sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I currently work part-time, but I can adapt to your needs at a moments notice. I’m available for boarding on weekends and even weekdays if needed. My approach is based on consistent, clear communication and keeping your pet feeling completely secure, regardless of the environment. I honor your established routines, from feeding schedules and medication timing to timed habits and walk routes, predictably is key. If an unexpected situation or question ever arises, I will contact you immediately rather than guessing. Above all, I treat your home with total respect and care for your pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and safety standards I would expect for my own
“Delina was fantastic! Communicative throughout, which I especially appreciated for my pup’s first rover experience, with a photo and thoughtful notes. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for years and have taken care puppies and kitties as well as senior pets. I am happy to walk or metro in the DMV area. I work late night/early morning shifts so I am able to do morning, afternoon, and evening checks. My schedule is also pretty flexible but 1 week notice to fully schedule the visit in my calendar is preferred. I don’t have a vehicle but I am completely open to taking buses or the metro to your home. I’m happy to stay in your home if you need me too. If any medication or diets are needed for them, I will follow instructions and communicate any updates as much as needed.

About: I have two cats so while I love dogs, I’ve maxed out the amount of pets allowed in my apartment. I’d love to get some quality time with dogs by caring for yours! I also love meeting and spending time with new cats so I’m always happy to cat-sit. I work for a non-profit on a hybrid schedule so I have plenty of time for your pets! I love both cats and dogs, and would love the excuse to spend more time outdoors that comes with regular dog walks. I also love meeting new cats, as each one is weird and lovable in their own unique way. I have an apartment with two cats and no outside space, but live in a very walkable and dog-friendly area for walks. I’m pretty flexible for timing of visits and walks, so can meet whatever schedule is needed.

About: Hello there! My name is Romon, you can also call me Griz. I suppose my friends see me as the momma or papa bear of the group haha. Anyway I've been taking care of my friend's, family's, and of course personal 'furry best friends'. I have a background in personal training and fitness. Never really ran into a dog that didn't like or respect me at least after the first couple treats or games I was able to play with them. Recently lost two friends one moved away the other, Sasha; a poodle mix of 12 years, passed away I was luckily able to spend more time with her during 2020 before she had to go. Her memories are still with me and I know many are back to work and wish they could spend more time with their newest pups. We can work together to make sure they're, well taken care of, and I just wanted to help out and lessen the load of watching over these wonderful epitomes of joy and energy. I've walked, sitted, played with, slept besides, and even cleaned up after all sorts of dogs from puppyhood to very senior dogs, 10lbs to 100+lbs believe it or not, can't seem to get a break from them, which I don't mind! Lastly I hope to get to know your fuzzy yet amazing family members on a professional and even better, personal level. Feel free to message for any questions I pay very close attention to any special instructions. I've recently found great streams of income im able to maintain at home while working on my online degree Fortunately my major for the 3rd semester in a row is online only. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I wanted to make the most of my situation and again the main thing is to help out new or out of practice pet owners. Im free at all hours of day and night outside of a select few evenings where I train clients to achieve their fitness goals. Mostly online so feel free to reach out and schedule with me if youd like recurring services. We'll make it work. Im a capable and loving pet owner that doesn't mind breaking a sweat. I would love to keep your fur baby busy AND happy whether its a small walk with portable water bowls, at home self made doggy puzzles to keep their minds sharp and busy, even if I am tired, for those longer sessions. I have access and experience to great doggy parks equipped with fencing and great walking areas, and lots of car space for those longer trips or incase of an emergency where I have to safely transfer your fluffy children quickly. I have a lot of experience to share and rely on too much to list here but go ahead and quiz me at Fanaticallymotivated email on google for those of you new or unsure of my services with the Rover service provider. I hope to work with you both and take care of any worries.
About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.
About: I was a longtime dog sitter for some neighbors of mine, and I have also had my own dogs. I have grown up around dogs and have loved pets my entire life! I love the variety of dogs, whether that be their breed, age, or temperament. I love going on walks, thoroughly enjoy playtime, and feel comfortable meeting new pooches! I am currently a full time student here at the University of Maryland, however I like to think of myself as a strong multitasker and student. I am positive I will be able to serve you and your pet needs outside of my class hours. Additionally, I am more than willing to be flexible, and I have found much success in extracurricular activities so far this semester, proving my academic load to be more than manageable. I have a dog of my own with my family back home in Frederick, Maryland. This obviously includes waking up and letting little Bob outside in the morning and throughout the day, and we enjoy going on walks together, and Bob is a very active dog who loves play. He enjoys being chased throughout the house or tossing a ball outside and he even has his own funny, unorthodox sessions of play where Bob enjoys being spoken to or chased without toys. I typically take care of feeding Bob, giving him water, and making him comfortable. I want to meet a dog’s needs, and provide them with a positive experience!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage City
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!
Very conscientious, polite, punctual and persevering with our frisky 100# black Briard who is very strongly bonded to us. Collaborates well with us amidst pickup/return antics of our other 100# tawny Briard. Good feedback, map of walk & pix show brisk pace and variety over good distance. Intend to continue for weeks while my broken ankle heals.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cottage City is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $31 per walk.

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 Cottage City. 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 Cottage City 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 Cottage City. 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.
