“Jonathan was great with our recently adopted dog that gave him a hard time. He was calm, patient and adapted to the situation as needed, communicating well along the way.”
About: I’m an experienced pet owner of cats, dogs, seniors pets, high medical need pets, and just needy in general pets. I am especially enthusiastic about dog walking, and am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes (including large dogs). I have experiencing with medicating dogs and cats, and am comfortable with pets that need an extra close eye due to age or illness. I work from home and am available for daily walks, drop in visits, feeding, medicating, and giving lots of love and attention all day every day. I am available for pet sitting in your home - I unfortunately cannot fit any more paws, tails, or snouts into my house at the moment.
“Larquana was awesome with our high energy dog Milo. She was timely, sent me updates and photos of Milo looking extremely happy during their time together, and ensured to put all of Milo’s items back in their place which was very helpful and sweet. We will definitely be calling Larquana again.”
About: For the past ten years, I have adopted and taken care of different senior rescue dogs. And puppies alike. I have been the primary dog watcher for my extended family and friends for many years. I love all dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities and I'm sure I'll love yours as well!! 😁 I'm currently working a full time job. However I work very close to home. I can walk your dog in the morning late afternoon and night before bed and always try for 3 walks a day. If you would rather I house sit your dog I can stay at your place and watch your furry friend there. I can also just come to you and walk your dog on the weekends. Let's get your dog the care they need!! 😁 I have an apartment which I own and am comfortable with your dog going anywhere they would like. While I prefer to let dogs roam my space and be at ease. I can crate them if you would prefer. If I house sat at your place I would follow your instructions and normal house rules to the letter.
“Hired for two walks, 30 min each. The first was fine. The second she came and went in 16 minutes and said she “made it a quick one because she had walked my dog earlier.” Huh? Not sure what that was about….”
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
About: I adore animals of all shapes and sizes, from out smallest handheld friends to our rowdiest large pups. I have a sweet diabetic senior cat of my own. I am very comfortable administering insulin and other medications, as he's given me lots of practice. I also have two intelligent rabbits and enjoy providing engaging activity, enrichment, and thoughtful care. I am an active young professional with plenty of pet-loving time in my regular schedule. I have a car, so my travel throughout the DC area is quick and convenient. I am experienced with crate trained animals, free-roaming animals, small caged animals, and animals who reside primarily outdoors. I enjoy reading animals' body language and approaching all animals with respect for boundaries, trust, and comfort level.
About: I have taken care of a range of dogs and cats over many years. Previously I have given long walks on trails, short walks around the neighborhood, managed medication during meals, and looked after multiple pets in a household. I also used to have a Labrador of my own. I can currently care for dogs and cats basically all day and everyday, so I can fit into whatever your usual or desired schedule for your pet is. My care often varies as different pets tend to need different needs such as tiring out a high energy dog or keeping calm but attentive to anxious pets. I am neat and desire to keep any space I enter as clean as possible.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 6 years old and have always had a love for animals. I currently have a Border Collie, and I've helped train him to follow basic commands like sitting. I regularly walk, feed, bathe, and care for him, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care and routines. Since moving to Maryland, I've also gained experience cat sitting for both small and large cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., which allows me to help with feedings, walks, check-ins, or other pet care needs before and after work. I am also available in the evenings to spend quality time with pets and make sure they receive the attention and care they need. On weekends, I have a much more flexible schedule and am generally available throughout the day for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and extended care. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. I am very respectful when entering a client's home and always treat it with care. I take off my shoes, follow any instructions provided, and make sure I leave the space the way I found it. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets, I like to take the time to get to know them and build trust so they feel comfortable around me. Every animal has a different personality, and I try to meet them where they are. I also love keeping pet parents updated, so I'll send photos and messages throughout the visit so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention while you're away.

DJ does an amazing job with Wrigley. We did our initial walk and she was very observant of his behaviors and able to adapt to put him at ease with a new walker. She is always on time, communicates very well, and genuinely enjoys being with Wrigley. He loves being with her on his walks.
Nicole was fantastic with our lil’ girl - Candy loved Nicole the instant she met her! She was very conscientious with questions, followed instructions to a t, and provided great feedback after each walk. We will definitely hope to book Nicole again in the future if need be!

Tyler Jade was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and made the entire experience easy and stress free. I really appreciated her care and flexibility, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!
Jack has taken great care of our two dogs. He came to our house to do a meet and greet, followed all our instructions, and made sure our dogs got a good walk while we were gone all day. He has walked them multiple times and has been very dependable and communicative.
Very thankful to have found Nayke! I am particularly appreciative of how perceptive he is with my dogs, and he always provides feedback that lets me know he was actively engaged in their care. He’s also happy to take treats with him to help with any training issues on the walk. Looking forward to continuing to work with him going forward!
Maya! Thank you so much! Envy was incredibly happy upon meeting Maya and easily welcomed her warm personality. I received qualitative updates in each Rover card with adorable photos to pair! Maya was receptive to all procedures necessary to provide care to my pup and will absolutely use again!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Glen is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Forest Glen. 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 Forest Glen 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 Forest Glen. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
