“Tabitha was great with Riley.. I knew from the first meeting and Riley’s response to her she was a good choice. She took the time to care for her as well as play. She even added a day last minute which I really appreciated! I would definitely book with her again anytime I need a dogsitter.”
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“Elyssa is great with Kofi. Took him on his first walk to learn his route. He loves to stop and stiff everything so he takes getting used to when out for walks. He loves the outdoors so he can enjoyed walking.”
“Maggie does a fantastic job! She is incredibly attentive to my pitbull mix, Allie, always ensuring she stays cool on warm walks, practicing her training commands, and even pivoting to playtime if Allie isn't in the mood for a walk. Maggie is professional, punctual, hardworking, and remarkably easy to communicate with. I absolutely love receiving the photo updates after each walk. I highly recommend her services!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkridge
Lorena was an amazing dog walker for our senior 17 year old dog! She made sure to get acquainted with him at our Meet and Greet and understand his unique needs as a senior dog. Lorena was patient, understanding, and professional. She sent updates and photos regularly. Lorena mastered the challenging task of walking him in the rain when he does not like the rain! I definitely would book with Lorena again. I highly recommend her!
Kathi did a fantastic job walking my dog, Allie. She was always on time, good communicator, showed she genuinely cared about Allie's well-being. She made sure Allie got good, fulfilling walks and paid close attention to her needs the entire time. I’m so grateful and highly recommend her!
Nia is so kind and loving with my dog. She's very patient with my dog's reactivity and helps her to be calm. She's even gotten her to walk in the rain, and my dog HATES the rain and will often refuse to go. She's good about following directions for food and treats and checks in if she has any concerns. Thanks Nia!
Catherine is a wonderful dog walker. She has a great rapport with my dogs and makes their health and safety her top priority. She communicates before, during, and after her walks with my dogs and sends fun photos. I highly recommend Catherine as a dog walker. Thanks for another great walk, Catherine. The dogs are happy and tired.
This was my first time using Rover and I was a little anxious about leaving my fur baby with someone, but Nakea eased my anxiety. She provided pictures upon pick up and drop off for walks, she was extremely communicative throughout the process and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend Nakea and will be using her for future walks!

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 Elkridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
