“Ashley was amazing! She walked my somewhat anxious dog, and you could tell my dog completely at ease with her the minute she met her. She was on time and communicated well. Would highly recommend Ashley!”
“I cannot recommend Jessica enough! She was fantastic with our two older dogs! It was the first time we left them with someone other than a friend, so I was a bit concerned as to whether our little dog (who is very skittish) would warm up to Jessica. I was also concerned because our bigger dog has a lot of medical issues (including mobility problems). Jessica was phenomenal. She arranged some time to come by and meet them and us beforehand. She asked really detailed questions - which let me know she was tuned into their care. She gave great updates on her visits and sent photos, too. Her updates let me know how well she was getting to know their unique quirks and personalities. She kept in touch with everything that came up - and even suggested some things to make our bigger dog more comfortable. I was blown away by the care she gave to our girls! Her thoughtfulness erased my concerns about how the dogs were doing while we were gone. I was able to relax and have a worry-free trip. And our little dog was giving her kisses and greeting her at the door after only a couple of visits! If we travel again without the dogs, I wouldn't want anyone else to care for our girls.”
“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!”
“Kyrstin did an amazing job caring for our dog. She is very reliable and friendly and I knew our dog was in good hands . She was also timely and that was important .”
“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 💚”
“Ben, was excellent in the service he delivered. My dog had a lot on f anxiety of me not being around and Ben took the time to make him feel comfortable in the house and within a Few days my dog took a liking to Ben. Thanks so much Ben! Definitely recommend him and will use him 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!!”
“Teresa was very good with our little yapping dog! Our little girl barks at everyone and everything. She was very good with her. She was also very flexible when our trip went awry and we needed her for longer.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for years through friends, family, and pets I've had the opportunity to care for along the way. Those experiences taught me that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Today, I'm the proud owner of a Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, which has given me daily hands-on experience with puppy care, exercise, feeding routines, enrichment activities, and positive reinforcement. Caring for my own dog has strengthened my understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping pets comfortable and on their usual routine. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while helping pets stay comfortable and on their usual routine. I also have a friendly Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, who loves companionship and can be a great playmate for dogs who enjoy being around other pets. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while their owners are away.
“It was my first experience with Rover and Brittany and I am highly satisfied with everything. Brittany was absolutely great working with my dog Huku and always sent detailed Rover Cards which made me feel comfortable when I was away. She always messaged me when there were updates or concerns. She is fantastic and I am definitely going to return to her to work with my dog. Thank you very much!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside
“Our dogs love Helena! She is very kind, caring, and punctual. Our dogs loves Helena’s warm personality and they greet her with lots of love. Our little cavapoo Whitney is typically fearful and a little anxious at times. Whitney has quickly warmed up to Helena and not as anxious doing the transfer of leash at the door. Thank you so much Helena for your love, care and patience you give our fur babies.”
“Victor is great with my dog Marcie! She can sometimes be wary of strangers but she liked him immediately. He is very conscientious and kind. Victor will take good care of your pets.”
About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.
About: I’m a pre-nursing student who loves dogs and is looking to make a little bit of money on the side! I’ve had dogs my whole life, from big boxers to small shih tzu’s. I’ve grown to love dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’d love to spend time with them while also getting paid! I’m currently unavailable Monday and Wednesday’s from 1:30-3:30. I will be starting a new job shortly so my schedule will change. I am also taking online classes so I have a pretty open schedule but I do need notice of when/what time your dog needs care. I will take dogs on a walk for around 10-20 minutes, this may be longer or shorter depending on the dog’s health and the weather (if it’s too hot or cold and the dog is visibly tired or uncomfortable the walk will be shorter, however if everything is fine the walk will likely be longer.) I also will feed and play with dogs (play time for a maximum of 45 minutes.)
About: Tons of experience walking dogs, plus years of experience caring for cats. While not formally trained I have an understanding for animal psychology and how best to interact in a respectful way. I also have experience administering medication for pets, including giving senior cats their insulin shots. I take walks almost every day, but would love to share than time (and get out even more) with a pup or two in tow! I treat your animals like my own, with unconditional love and attention. I respect their, and your, space and proceed as a guest in your space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derwood
Annika was great with our American Akita, GSP, and Staffy! [Note - these are not small dogs] At the last minute she was able to meet with me and our "pups." She provided caring walks for several days and was extremely accommodating and responsive. We would book her again with confidence. Thank you!
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!!

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.

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.
