“Lauren is amazing! She responded quickly when I first reached out and made time for a meet and greet, which immediately put me and my pup at ease. When she takes my dog for a walk. she always shares thoughtful updates and the cutest photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. My dog adores her, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. I’ll definitely continue using Lauren as my dog walker—she’s the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals for 4 years now. Cats, dogs, hedgehogs, fish etc. I enjoy taking care of animals and I would love to help take care of yours! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule and have no problem discussing what works best for the both of us. I will do my best to maintain a schedule for the pet and work with the client to see what makes the client and pet the most happy!
About: I started caring for my family’s various pets around the age of 15. Ranging from West Highland white terriers to Australian Shepards to Great Danes, I love them all! In undergrad, I gained experience pet sitting my friend’s cats, lizards, and hamsters. I’m currently studying for the GRE and looking to make some extra money. I enjoy being active both inside and outside with animals, and have plenty of free time to make them feel loved. I have a good sense about the needs of animals, identifying their cues when they need more attention, walks, etc. If you have a particular schedule or behavioral program that you’d like me to implement, I can do that as well!
About: I just love pets, especially dogs. I grew up with dogs with different personalities and size- small poodle to large springer spaniel. I love to play, walk and run(jog) with them. I currently do not have a pet, but I do watch my grand-dogs on a regular basis. I am now retired and have walking and watching dogs for the last 4 years. I would love to meet, play and walk your dog! I am retired so have flexibility in my schedule and can usually be available 7 days a week. I do have so commitments on some days but am willing to work with pet owners to meet their needs. Currently I do not offer sitting at my home. I am willing to sit at your house meeting your requests- usually able to visit every 4-5 hours. I have not spent the night at the owner’s house.. if this is requested I would want to make sure this is a good fit.
About: I have ample experience watching my friend's energetic dog. At first he was shy around me, but I was able to gain his trust and now we're buddies! :) I am doing only gig work at the moment while I am learning languages and upskilling. My schedule is very flexible and that allows me to adapt to your pet's specific needs. I pay close attention to promptings from the pet of needing additional attention and care. I also pay attention for feedback on the pet's feelings about their food.
About: I treat every pet like family, providing personalized care, dependable service, and plenty of love and attention so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I've spent years caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and following specific routines to meet each pet's needs. I am currently home for the summer from college, so i can be available whenever it is needed! Pet care can be fitted in my daily routine while i am home. I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and happiness by following their routine, providing plenty of attention and exercise, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“Shalissa did a great job walking Bailey each afternoon for over a week. She communicated with us before and after each visit, and Bailey got the exercise she needed. Will definitely contact Shalissa again for our future pet needs!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chihuahua, a small, energetic little brown bean with a shiny coat. Through the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of small dog care, from daily morning and evening walks to preparing soft meals tailored to her needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing pets with personalized care, whether it’s ensuring they get the right nutrition, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work hybrid from home, which allows me to provide attentive care for pets. I'm available for boarding, house sitting, and check-ins from Thursday to Sunday. Additionally, I offer check-ins and house sitting on Monday to Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I live in an apartment, but my complex is surrounded by beautiful trees and open space, perfect for walking and running around. There’s always something fun to do outside, whether it’s exploring nature or playing in safe, pet-friendly areas. Inside, I ensure a comfortable and secure environment, keeping toxic foods and hazardous items out of reach.
“Danielle is truly amazing. Best dog walker ever! She really took care of my babies and took lots of pictures. Her notes were detailed and made me feel so comfortable while I was gone. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. I’m currently free 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and I’ll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.
“Mari was great with our pet, Mali G. He is quick to respond and Mali G really enjoyed their walks this week. We received the report cards and it was easy to communicate via the Rover app. We look forward to having our pet in good hands with Mari the next time, he is great with pets!”
“Joe is helping me out big time with my baby Joey. I am using him recurringly so Joey can get some exercise midday. I would highly recommend. Joey looks forward to going on walks with Joe.”
About: I have had dogs and cats virtually my whole life. I am very experienced in feeding, giving pills, taking pets outside, etc. I have worked at Fishers Veterinary Hospital for a little under a year now as part of the patient care team. I am heading off to IU in the fall to major in Biology with a Pre-Vet track. I would love to help care for your pets! I currently work part-time at a veterinary hospital and receive my schedule a month in advance. Because of this, I can usually plan ahead and provide reliable availability. Feel free to reach out with your dates, and I’ll be happy to let you know if I’m available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Through my experience working at a veterinary hospital, I have learned how to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and how to handle animals calmly and safely. I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions and provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets.
“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”
“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”
“Taylor took such great care of my pup! She was very communicative, and Trooper seemed to have a great time with her. I’ll definitely be using her for his walks in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Germantown on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,485 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Germantown. 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 Germantown. 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 Germantown.
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 Germantown. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
