I have 2 dogs of my own but I don’t feel comfortable bringing outside dogs in with them on a regular basis, however I feel very comfortable watching/ playing with your pets in your home

About: Hi there! I’m a recently graduated physician assistant (PA) awaiting my hospital start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for your beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks to fill up my day meaningfully, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders. I’m a recently graduated physician assistant awaiting my start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.

About: In my opinion, animals are the best thing in the world! Especially when they become pets. I am a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but I have always had other passions. One passion would definitely be my love for animals and nature! When I am not at the hospital I would love to get to know you and your family pet! I love all animals so much ... I got allergy weekly/biweekly shots (2 in each arm) to prove it!! I am super interested in caring for your family pet and making them feel like you never left home! I am interested in walking, sitting, home visits and boarding animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, etc! I am skilled at taking care of many different animals. I currently own a dachshund and a Bichon poo. My dogs are my world!! If you want someone who will treat your pet like family I am your girl! I work night shift so I am available most days and some night to help out when needed! Feel free to contact me!

About: Hello my name is Chelsea. I am a surgical veterinary technician at a busy animal hospital and online college student studying to become a registered veterinary technician. I live in Fairfield PA with my boyfriend and pack of rescue animals. This includes a blind kitty named Hank, a little orange tabby cat named Phoebe, a pitbull mix named Harper, and a foxhound named Roger. I have a passion for helping pets in need and so they have all come to live with me through different but unfortunate circumstances. Work, volunteering at rescue, and caring for my own animals has made me comfortable giving medications, feeding animals, and bathing animals with various medical needs. Please reach out to me with any questions. I work full time Monday to Thursday, 10+ hour shifts but am typically free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as well as most national holidays (unless I am on call for work). Due to my very small house and other animals I cannot provide in home pet sitting or boarding at this time. I can however come to you if you live relatively close by. I can provide walks, play time, feeding/watering, etc in a clients home instead.

About: I have had dogs for the past 30 years. I am an approved foster home for a pug rescue. I have rescued several dogs! The last two years, I have been a dog walker! The dog I recently rescued was a client I walked whose mom was disabled. She needed more care than her mom could give her. We bonded from the first walk, and I knew I could be her forever home! I have a blind/deaf pug as well. I do a lot of housesitting and dogsitting it’s always a joy! My home is on an acre. I have my own business out of my home, and so I am home all day and your pet will not be left alone! I am home all day running my health coach business. Pet care will keep me busy and your animal happy..and the resident dogs will love having playmates! I do have a portion of my yard fenced in so the dogs have lots of room to run and play and be dogs. Dogs are rarely crated unless they are used to that and the owner request that they have time in their crate. I am home the majority of the time. I work from home on a part-time basis so I am with the dogs the majority of the time. When the dogs come to my home, it is like they are on their own little vacation. They have a good time playing with the other dogs and go home tired.

About: I have owned dogs all my life. I can’t see myself without a dog by my side. I’ve owned all kinds of dogs and a few cats. I have completed several dog training lessons and have work diligently with my present dog I rescued that is high anxiety. I walk my hound dog 5-6 days a week. I’ve participated in dog fundraisers and 5k to raise money for shelters. I feel it’s important that dogs are treated like family but should listen well. We’ve taken our dogs on vacation and rides. I will be sure to give your pet one on one attention while I am attending at your home. I will send pics and updates while visiting along with treats if you prefer for me to do so.

About: Dog loving photographer mama, I’ll treat your dog like my own! We only have one dog almost two year old black Shepherd Retriever, we go on early morning walks off leash, car ride to our local dog park with our frequent coffee shop drop in visit. I’ve trained all ages of dogs, and have dealt with all different type of behavioral dogs. Our dog get along with all dogs, and he’ll adjusted his behavior to adapt to them. We start our mornings at 5:30am with a long walk down our country roads down hill then back up the steep hill, helps my pup burn his energy. Then around noon, we’ll go for another walk and play frisbee or catch in our yard. We’ll also go for a car ride to our local dog park, and he’ll play there for about 15/20 mins. Then around 5pm, we’ll play in the yard till husband gets home. We have a large yard unfenced for our pup to ran and play fetch. I have one friendly pup, we loves playing with all types of dogs. We also have a large crate, we leave open for our dog to lay in but able to easily crate your dog if needed. Our dog is housed trained but he finds his crate comforting when we’re not home so we leave crate door open.

I treat all pets, the same in all pets the same way. I treat them inside of them myself.

Michael was absolutely great with my dog! I was able to go on vacation and be at ease knowing my baby was ok. I can’t thank him enough and hope next summer he will be able to walk him while I am away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Emmitsburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,728 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Emmitsburg. 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 Emmitsburg. 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 Emmitsburg.

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 Emmitsburg. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
