“I had such a great experience with my dog walker today! They did an amazing job walking both of my pups, and I really appreciate the care, patience, and attention they gave them. My pups came back happy, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! 🐶❤️”
“I have been extremely satisfied with the dog walking services provided by Cornell over the past months. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, arriving punctually for every scheduled walk and maintaining clear communication throughout our arrangement. His genuine care for my dogs has been evident in the detailed updates and photos he shared after each outing, ensuring they received attentive, safe, and engaging exercise. I highly recommend his professional and trustworthy services to any pet owner seeking a dependable dog walker.”
“Candice is a dog whisperer. She is intuitive, compassionate, kind, very down to Earth, and reliable. I am a picky dog and human mom, and I completely trust her with my sweet but anxious reactive Navi. I am beyond grateful to have found Candice.”
“Ken is awesome! Very reliable and puntual. My pup loves him a lot. If you’re looking for an experienced dog walker who’s knowledgeable and reliable and responsible, Ken is your guy!”
“She is great with our pup. Our dog loves Lynnette’s belly rubs & attention. We are so grateful to have her. She is able to give our girl some love & help her blow off some energy when we can’t be home with her!”
“Pilar has walked our girls a couple times now and she does a great job! She is dependable and always follow up with any relevant information for us about the walk or our girls. Also, our dogs seem to really love her! We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and we’ll be booking her again!”
“Caden was great with our elderly pup, getting her outside and taking care of business, which can take some coaxing. He was great with communications, and we just asked him to walk our pup again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, and I have two cats of my own (Callie & Luda!) I’m dedicated to providing care that gives you a peace of mind throughout your day, or on a long trip! I’m a nonprofit worker who moved to the DMV area in 2024. I work full-time but I only go into the office once a week, meaning that I can easily work remotely while caring for pets across the area. This gives me tons of flexibility to drop by and let your pets out and give them a hug! All my weekday evenings and weekends are all open to dedicate my time to your pets! I’m committed to learning the ins and outs of your home and everything you currently have in place to keep your pet happy and healthy! I will provide periodic checkins to owners (including super cute picture updates!) and won’t hesitate to ask questions if I need to!
“Didi is friendly and has a clear love of animals! She arrived promptly, sent photos, and left a message about how the walk went. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We’re so glad we found Alyssa. She was easy-going and stayed in great communication throughout, which meant a lot to us. Aoife and Klay can be a little particular and don’t always warm up to new people quickly, but Alyssa handled them effortlessly and they clearly adored her. It’s a relief to know they were in such good hands. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and during the summer I do have class on Friday morning. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.
“Mary was wonderful with out puppy. She was very patient and did a really good job at communicating with us. She send us great pictures of our Carlos, we are thankful for her help. Definitely hiring her again!”
“Laura is amazing!!!! She walked my skittish labradoodle, and it was clear my dog was fully at ease with Laura. She was timely, communicated well, and sent photos. Would highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I love their companionship. I also like to remain very active and get outside to go for a nice walk, so doing this with a dog is the best of both worlds! I work from the comfort of my home and my job provides me with a lot of flexibility. I will have ample time to make sure your furry loved one gets outside a few times per day and also gets showered with love and attention! I understand that every dog is not the same and might require different things! I'm happy to and will be vigilant in following any and all feeding and care instructions that you need! I want to make sure that your pet is as relaxed and comfortable as possible!
About: For Cat Sitting - I have two adorable cats of my own, Timon and Pumbaa and grew up with two, as well. I understand their perks and how a cat earns your love! Taking care of them is second nature to me and I know I could be a great help. I have more experience with indoor cats and understand they need playtime when their owners are away! For Dog Walking - I grew up with one of the craziest! Ringo was his name-o and he was part husky, border collie, maybe even part chow? A total mutt. I have recently taken care of neighbors dogs who range from French bulldog to German Shepherd. I love spending time outside with the pups and would love help expend their energy with a good walk! I am in the midst of a major career pivot. I used to work in television production in NYC for 17 years, became a teacher, and currently going back to school. I can absolutely fit daily and/or weekly walks into my routine. Mornings and evenings are not a problem. I have two cats of my own and they are super loved and taken care of! For the dog parents, I love them and I love a good walk!
About: I have worked with puppies for 3.5 years and loved each and every one of them! Nothing makes me happier. This is a dream job. Hello! I’m an experienced and passionate pet lover with a lifetime of caring for animals! My journey began in childhood with my poodle, Pepper, who taught me the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. I helped walk, feed, and play with him daily, which sparked my love for caring for animals. As a parent, I raised two wonderful dogs and cared for four cats throughout my daughter’s upbringing. I even worked at a puppy shop for 3.5 years, where I gained hands-on experience grooming puppies, cleaning their living spaces, and administering oral medications. Now my husband and I are proud pet parents to a 5-year-old French Bulldog, Lola, who has become the heart of our home as empty nesters. I take joy in cooking for her, taking her on regular walks, and making playtime a priority. With decades of experience and a true love for animals, I understand the importance of providing pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or playing, I’d love to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel loved and secure while under my care. For dogs, I provide regular walks tailored to their energy levels, ensure they’re fed according to their specific dietary needs, and spend quality time playing and cuddling to make them feel at home. I’m experienced with preparing fresh meals if required and oral administering medications when needed. For cats, I ensure their feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are clean, and I offer plenty of play and affection (or give them space if that’s their preference!). In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s familiar routines to help reduce stress while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same level of care and love I provide to my own.
About: While I specialize in caring for senior pets, I am experienced in care for pets of varying breeds, ages, and species. I have over 5 years experience in both kennel work and pet sitting/care as well as pet grooming. I am able to administer medications and care for pets with all kinds of needs. I welcome all pets from young to old, small to big. They are family and I will treat them as such because it’s what they deserve! I am available 7 days a week between 8am-8pm for walking and drop in visits! I also offer pet sitting in clients’ homes. I am currently a stay at home fur mom and will have plenty of time on my hands to care for your precious babies! Depending on what your precious pup needs I am able to provide many services. I am able to walk, feed, play with, and administer medications to pets of all kind. If boarding I will need specific care instructions of pets require medications of special routines as I want to make sure that your furry family members are able to keep their usual routine while everyone is away. I strive to create a good bond with my clients and make them as comfortable as possible. This includes both pets and pet parents!
“Hired Brittany to walk/play with Mason during the workday (60 minutes). He had a blast and was relaxed and tired when he came back. Brittany was timely and efficient and sent pics/update when finished. Will be hiring Brittany again.”
“A’Gia goes above and beyond! We would trust A’Gia with our anytime. Lots of pictures, clear communication, and our dogs seemed really happy and were well taken care of with no issues! We would recommend A’Gia with no hesitation.”
About: Know that your dog is safe and comfortable on their walks in the hands of a qualified, positive reinforcement dog trainer! My reactive-inclusive walks can alleviate reactivity by preventing unwanted habits (barking, lunging, etc.) and encouraging calm behaviors on walks. These walks are great not only for reactive or fearful dogs, but also folks with puppies who want proper and positive socialization, or simply anyone who wants their dog to be in qualified hands. I am currently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays starting at 11am. Last walk is at 2pm or 5pm depending on the day of the week. I'm happy to provide your pup with whatever they need in your home. I can play with them on leash, or off leash in your backyard. I can crate them or not, give them a Kong when I leave - whatever works for you and your pup!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Germantown is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Risotto knows when his buddy Todd is coming by to walk him. :) Todd was especially understanding of the fact that Risotto had just had surgery and was very careful with him. Risotto sometimes barks at people walking past the house, but now does not bark at all when Todd comes by to take him for a walk...that's the level of consistency and steadfastness that ALL dogs need, so if you need someone who will take really good care of your pup, Todd is fantastic! Thank you!
I had such a great experience with my dog walker today! They did an amazing job walking both of my pups, and I really appreciate the care, patience, and attention they gave them. My pups came back happy, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! 🐶❤️
Lynette did a wonderful job walking our dog, Baki! She was communicative, always on time, and very flexible whenever we needed to make adjustments. Baki was always excited to see her and go on walks with her, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely recommend Lynette to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
I highly recommend Jerrica! She responded almost immediately after I reached out, which was especially helpful because my request were last-minute. She is reliable, and punctual. I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was with my request. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. Thank you so much for being so dependable!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Germantown on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 16,561 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.

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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
