“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.”
“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 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!”
“Theresa is AMAZING! I used Rover for the first time last week and I was so nervous about my pup being home alone/meeting someone new but Theresa is a rockstar! My pup loved her and had a great time with Theresa. She texted me updates while I was at work and really made sure my pup was taken care of and put all my anxieties at ease. I will definitely be scheduling daily walks with Theresa!”
“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!!”
About: Let me first say thank you for considering me for the role of walking your little fur member! As a practicing vegetarian- I can tell you that my life is devoted to animal welfare. With me - your dog will be treated with the utmost care and attention. Furthermore - I’m extremely punctual and follow directions specifically . I communicate appropriately and effectively. I never call out and am always on time for any job I have. As far as experience - I have dealt with a variety of dogs since I was 12 years old. I currently am “dog dad” to a Yorkie and a Labrador. I have seen a range of behaviors and personalities over the years and am equipped to manage each dog’s unique personality. I’m 6”2- roughly 220lbs- so I can manage larger dogs comfortably. My lab is about 110lbs so I’m used to handling larger dogs. I also have a 9lb yorkie - so I can manage a wide range in sizes. Both of my dogs were rescued from really bad situations. I pay very close attention to the small things . If your dog is with me- he/she will never be in better hands. They will have fun and they will be well cared for. I currently am on leave from work due to a back issue - so walking and getting out is good for me. I love to walk and enjoy keeping ur pup safe and happy. I have two friendly dogs who are my world . They get tons of exercise - and 5 walks per day. They easily spend 3.5 hours outside per day- whether that be fetching or walking - to even just laying in the grass and people watching !
“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and consistent care. I currently have a German Shepherd and two cats of my own, so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and the unique needs each pet has. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring they are always supervised and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
About: I have been an active pet caretaker for over 25 years. I have worked with dogs young and old (currently have 2 senior dogs) and sizes from small to large (12-80 lbs). I enjoy getting to meet and befriend dogs of all kinds. I make my own schedule, so visiting your dog(s) is a flexible option. Looking forward to helping pet parents know their pup is safe and happy. My main thought is to dog safety. A safe dog is a happy one. We'll enjoy walks and visits that meet your dog's energy levels and specific needs. Expect photos from our time and updates on happenings.
About: I am currently without my own pets, but still assist with my kid's mom's pets (Two dogs, and elder beagle and a puppy who is mixed). I am currently enjoying my retirement and going back to school on Tuesday evenings. I have two daughters who are in after school sports that have games on the weekend. Other than that my schedule is open. I am more than happy to help with your pets in your home. Let me know what you need and I will make sure it gets taken care of, and that your pet gets the care and attention they need and deserve!
About: I think what sets me apart is that your dog will really become part of our household while they're here. I'm only away at work one day a week, and my wife works from home most days, so someone is usually around. I'm also a registered nurse. So I'm very comfortable, following detailed instructions, keeping schedules, getting medications and noticing when something seems off. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. I've had and cared for dogs since I was a child, so caring for them has been part of my life for more than 25 years. I'm currently working one day a week and at home studying the rest. I'm usually in town most weekends and holidays. Since I'm home so much, it's easy for me to fit in walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention to your dog into my day. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm happy to stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine. I have a completely fenced-in yard with plenty of space to run around and play, and I don't have any dogs of my own at this time. Dogs will be supervised while outside, and I can crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I have tons of Kongs, chew toys, enrichment, games, and treat mats to keep your dog engaged, but I'm also perfectly happy to have a lazy couch potato hanging out with me while I study! I always keep fresh water available and give regular potty breaks. I'll follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I'll adjust their activity and care based on their personality, age and energy level. And of course, I'll send you updates and pictures so you know how they 're doing.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three cats since 2021, I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are for pets—especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or simply giving them space to feel safe. I am especially good with shy or sensitive pets, taking time to build trust and help them feel relaxed in a new environment. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of pet parents’ instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and home care rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available outside of my regular work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care when pet parents need it most. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive proper attention, timely feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am dependable, punctual, and flexible, and I always communicate clearly about availability to make scheduling easy and stress-free. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not provide care in my own home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and respect household routines, rules, and boundaries. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times—whether that means secure doors and windows, clean food and water areas, or safe play and litter box environments. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I treat both your pets and your space with care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind from 12 years ago. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently part-time work from home, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets. I’m available for boarding and walking your pets Monday, Friday and weekend. I live in a single house within a quiet neighborhood, and I have one friendly old dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I've had a love of dogs (and all animals) for as long as I can remember. Though I haven't been blessed with a dog of my own, I often care for my cousins' dogs and cherish every minute spent with them. One of them is a handsome mixed breed little guy named Juno and the other a Great Pyrenees named Rosco. I take them on walks several times a day, feed them, and play with them to their heart's content. They are my furry nephews and I love them so much! I'm a fast learner and a detail-oriented person. I will adjust to your dog's routine quickly. Their safety and well-being is my priority and I will take care of your fur babies with as much attentiveness as I would my own. We will have so much fun and they will get all the love and cuddles they desire! I currently have open availability so I can care for your pets whenever suits you best! I can take them for walks, do drop-ins, or house sit while you’re away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will leave it tidy for your return. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while sharing their home with a stranger (soon to be friend)!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up around a lot of dogs and cats. I hope neighbors and friends. Schedule I work Monday through Thursday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m generally available and have a flexible schedule for pet sitting. My husband is also able to help when needed, especially during my work hours. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and provide reliable, loving care. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I’ll follow all instructions you provide and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years now. I love animals and I love giving them all the attention they need. I am willing to help with pet care no matter what that means. It could be as simple as feeding and walks. It could also be more complicated and be about making sure an older dog gets their medicine. Secretly for me pet sitting is more about spending time with animals than it is about the money. I am free all day on the weekends. I will base my weekend schedule around the dog’s schedule. On weekdays I am currently working from home 8-4. If I need to stay overnight at your home I treat it with the upmost respect. I am also willing to do other basic tasks at the house. Like watering plants and taking in the mail. I know how helpful it can be for dogs to stay in a familiar environment.

Melissa B. was the perfect choice for my senior dog Ruby. Not only was she caring and supportive of her needs but she was also able to schedule the walk for Ruby when another walker was unable to schedule. I will certainly rebook with Melissa again in the future.
Jessica is exceptional. She loves my dog and takes such good care of him. My dog absolutely loves her. She is always polite, courteous and thoughtful. Jessica also communicates very well and in a timely manner. She also does long walks during the dog walk visits, which is great for my energetic dog. She knows what she is doing and very trustworthy.
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.

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.

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.
