About: Hello! I’m Claudia Giallella and I’ve always loved caring for animals. In recent years, I have played and cared for chickens, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I love to send pictures and videos of your pets to show they are having fun and are happy while you are away! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and I love to meet new families that are in need for short or long term care for their pets! I am currently working part time at a hair salon, but am mainly focused on pet care. In my daily schedule I have plenty of time to do multiple stops a day to care and play with your pet(s)! I follow the instructions given and make sure I know exactly how you want your pet cared for. In addition to caring for your pet, I make sure the environment is tidy and clean prior to leaving each time.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and my family has four dogs of our own! One is a rescue that we love dearly!! I also completed a two-year Small Animal Science program and currently foster dogs. Through fostering, I’ve helped 7 dogs find their forever homes. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my schedule because I work consistent hours at a school! I’m typically available after 2:30 PM on weekdays, in the evenings, and on anytime on the weekends. I love spending my free time caring for animals, whether that means taking dogs for walks, stopping by for feeding and playtime, spending time with cats, or providing overnight care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to keep dogs and cats comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, medications, and daily routines. I’m respectful of your home and always mindful of doors, gates, and making sure pets stay safe and secure. Whether your pet loves attention and cuddles or prefers some quiet time, I’ll make sure they receive the patience, love, and care they deserve!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me a great deal of joy. Now that I’m retired, I have the time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. My home is a calm, welcoming place where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routines, and little quirks. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether your dog loves a good walk, a cozy nap, a little playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll be there to give them plenty of affection and companionship. Most of all, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your furry family is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. I know how much our dogs meant to us—they truly are family. I would be honored to welcome your dog into my home and treat them as one of my own while you’re away. As a retired caregiver, I’m home all day and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, regular walks and playtime, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having pets as part of my daily life and take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I offer care in your home or at my quiet, dog-free home. For dogs, the day can include daily walks, playtime, fetch, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to care for puppies through senior dogs and will follow your pet’s normal routine, including meals, medications, and rest time. There are no children or other pets in my home, making it a calm and peaceful environment. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away!

About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life. My family and I are huge animal lovers and supporters. I always care for animals as if they are my own because pets are a member of your family and deserve the best. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to accommodate requests. Please contact me and I'm sure we can arrange days and times that work for both of us! We can discuss what you need for your pet while I care for them in your home. I can do check-ins, walk them, play with them, feed them, etc. Just let me know!

About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay off some school debt! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work part time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs and 2 cats, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When I’m not caring for others pets at work, I’m tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

About: I have had at least 2 dogs since I was a child. I am a kind and caring person that will treat your fur baby like my own. I currently work part time, mainly from home. Driving a few minutes from my home to care for your family would be a privilege. I am a hard working, trustworthy person that will work with your schedule as best I can. I have a fenced yard with plenty of small wildlife to bark at! I have room to kennel your small or large dog in the living room so they still feel part of a family. I enjoy being outside and will walk your dog even in inclement weather.

About: I have worked with dogs as little as 10 weeks to senior pups! I make sure they always feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I want every pup in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust their day based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. I provide attentive, responsible care and take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and specific needs before their stay or visit

About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.

About: I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and behavior, making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I adjust to what your pet needs in the moment. I treat every furry friend like family and make it my priority to give them the same care and attention you would. My intention for every animal I care for is to make sure they are happy, safe, healthy, and loved. 🤍 Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time to give dogs the attention they deserve. This means I can be flexible with walks, playtime, and drop-ins, and your pup will never feel rushed. I love spending my extra time playing, walking, and bonding with dogs, so they get lots of care and companionship while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. Respect is very important to me, I treat both your home and your animals with the same care I would my own. You can feel confident that your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I always make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and secure, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🤍✨

Kim was great! We hired her to walk our dogs while I was at work and my wife was out of town. She was there every day, on time, and the dogs loved it. She was a huge help to us! I would definitely recommend her to anyone we’d help with their dogs.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ellicott

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 872 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ellicott. 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 Ellicott. 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 Ellicott 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 Ellicott. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
