“Laura is amazing!!!! She walked my skittish labradoodle, and it was clear my dog was fully at ease with Laura. She was timely, communicated well, and sent photos. Would highly recommend her to any dog owner!”

“It puts our mind at ease to know that our reactive pittie is safe with Jeffrey and gets plenty of exercise and stimulation. Always great communication, great service!”
“Pilar is amazing!! She is so friendly, kind, and positive - she is also a certified dog whisperer because my pup, who is normally very shy around strangers, loved her almost immediately. It was so awesome to see how he was always so happy to see her. I also really appreciated how professional and communicative Pilar was - I knew my pup was in capable hands and having a great walk every time!”
“Julia did a great job with Oakley! She took for a nice long walks and he seemed super happy in the pictures she shared. She had good communication and I would definitely used her again.”
“Kyrstin did a great job with my Omidoo! He can be dog reactive and is 90+ lbs so finding a confident handler is difficult, but Kyrstin put me at ease. She handled his reactivity well and kept him controlled, and gave me thorough updates after all his walks. The poloroid was a super cute touch too! I (and Omidoo) look forward to Kyrstin coming again :)”
“Hana is a truly kind and caring animal lover who took exceptional care of our pup Dexter (and his humans by providing lots of updates and super cute photos) while we were out of town! Highly recommend her and we plan to ask her to come back for future dog walking/pet sitting needs too!!”
“Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way. He even brought a water cup for him, which was such a thoughtful touch. Jonathan was on time, dependable, and his communication was excellent. Teddy was in great hands, and I’d absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!”
“Would absolutely rebook Mark again! He was prompt, communicative, and an amazing walking partner for my dog who needed daily hour long walks while we were away for a long weekend. He is attuned to making your dog comfortable: I mentioned that my dog is nervous around men and Mark set-up a quick meet and greet to get acquainted. We really felt he went the extra mile for us 💚”
“Victor is great with my dog Marcie! He made sure to ask about everything he might need to know for her. My cat liked him too. Victor is very kind and conscientious and you can definitely trust him with your pet. He will absolutely go above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of.”
“Angela was amazing and was able to accommodate a super short request as I was unable to walk my dogs due to illness. She is wonderful with my big enthusiastic dog who loves to walk and also my slow old lady dog who walks exceedingly slow. All of my animals loved her.”
“Denisse is very kind and responsible!! She visited my house mid-day for several days to take my two dogs for a walk and let them play in the yard while I had long days out of the house. Everything with the booking went as planned and the pictures were great!! I highly recommend Denisse for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I’ve been walking dogs since birth—tiny, medium, big, fluffy, goofy, you name it! I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a huge cat lover too (I have one of my own! 🐱), so whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to treat them like family. I currently work hybrid and am full available everyday but Tuesdays and Thursdays to help you and your family out with your pets whenever you need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love and attention. I’ll make sure your pet gets regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and follows their normal feeding routine. I treat every pet like family!
“Krystian was super at walking my two dogs while I was battling sciatica. He arrived on time, expressed concern for my condition and paid close attention to each of the dogs. He was very friendly and easy to work with. I will definitely call on him again.”
About: What sets me apart is my real-life, daily experience caring for two dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and confident handling everything from playful energy to anxious behavior. I’m also familiar with basic training, have experience with feeding routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. Between walks, playtime, and feeding, I’ve built my schedule around making sure they’re happy and well cared for. Even with my part time job, I make sure to stay organized and flexible so I can give each pet the time, attention, and love they need. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick to their usual routines as close as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or playtime. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully, making sure their pet feels secure and cared for while they’re away. I definitely focus on building trust with both the pet and the owner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derwood
Jenny has been walking our dogs for a few weeks now. She is amazing with them, caring and patient and they really enjoy their walks with her. Jenny provides a stellar service, has been very accommodating, keeping good communication and we feel our dogs are safe and happy when she comes see them. We couldn’t recommend her more and of course we’ll keep working with her. Thank you!
“Romario was fantastic with Nalu! He was incredibly communicative throughout, always letting me know exactly when he arrived and when he was leaving, plus sending pictures during the walk so I could see Nalu having a great time. That level of communication put my mind completely at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks; Nalu came home happy and well-exercised every time. He’s reliable, punctual, and clearly experienced with different dog personalities. I’d trust him with Nalu again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for a walker who treats their pup like family.”
We did a meet and greet earlier in the week and it went great. My dog can be shy with strangers so she was patient and let him sniff her. Then for the scheduled walk, they walked along a trail that I recommended since my dog is people and dog reactive. She gave him more water and put him back in the playpen as requested which is important since he gets into stuff. Overall, great experience.
I am so thankful and pleased with Dymond! She took care of my 8 month puppy with such ease, although he is not easy! She was so patient when he was nervous and so calm when he was wild. I will absolutely use Dymond again and again! She also sent photos, videos, and updates! Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Derwood on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 17,298 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Derwood. 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 Derwood. 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 Derwood.
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 Derwood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
