“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! 🐶❤️”
“Dee Dee is awesome! We can always count on her for weekly weekday walks. She always gives great updates and sends pictures during each visit. Happy we came across her profile on Rover!”
“Lynnette did do a great job with my dog, Susie. She communicates very well. I appreciate her flexibility and openness. Susie really likes her a lot! I definitely want to ask her to walk Susie more in the future. Highly recommended.”
“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.”

“Wordda has been a Godsend!!! We have booked her over the last several months for both house sitting and dog walking. Wordda is always punctual, communicative through both pictures and text messages, and congenial. My wife, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and I, highly recommend her services!”

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: Hi there! I have a special advantage to my peers, being from the age 10 my mom took in fosters from the humane society that we equally took care of. At times we had up to 3 dogs we were caring for, on top of other animals in our household. We groomed them, fed them, took them to care visits, took them on walks, cleaned up after them, all up until they were adopted. We fostered for many years until my early adulthood. I still help my mom take care of her animals from time to time. I’m very active so taking your babies out for frequent walks, potty breaks or to doggy parks will be great for both of us! I will follow your itinerary however you’d like. I currently have other obligations on the weekends, so I will be taking care of your furry friends Monday-Thursdays. If you would like to book me, give me 3 days notice in advance. However my client feels most comfortable is how I like to best serve them. I want to provide the best care possible to the fur babies, make sure they are in the best care possible, while also following the rules of the household. If there are instructions, I go over them with my client and ask questions. I always make sure I understand so there are no confusions.
“Etilma is a wonderful person and a fantastic dog walker! She takes great care of Sammy when they go on their daily walks together. She takes pictures regularly and always keeps me updated on anything she notices about him. I highly recommend her!!”
About: I am an animal lover! I treat animals as if they are humans with love, support and freedom. I’m there if they need a friend or if there feeling lonely. Rather if it needs attention or a late night potty run I’m there for the rescue! I’m very attentive and supportive. I have 5 years of experience with dogs and over 6 years with cats I’m always up for more fur animal friends. I am very noble and trustworthy, and will always treat your animal the way I would want to be treated. Look no further I’m here to save the day! I’m very responsible and integrity is very much so apart of my character. I will update you on everything that goes on as communication is very important.
About: Hiiiiii! I have babysat dogs ever since I was 12 years old for friends and family and have had my own dog the past 8 years:) not to mention, my family loves animals so whenever I am watching a pet, they get love from the whole family and stay entertained throughout the day! There is always someone to watch, follow or play with around the house for them as I work from home! We live in a neighborhood where everyone comes out for morning/evening walks so it’s a great scene for the dogs to enjoy and get a long refreshing walk in:) Reach out if you’re interested! I would love to chat. Response time: 15 min - 1 hour I am available everyday, and work from home. Book with me! Your furry friends won’t regret it either! Flexible to what ever you need! I also love talking walks and will walk your dog multiple times throughout the day, chill on the couch or play fetch! They can roam around the house and do whatever they please! My family loves to play with them as well! I have a very friendly maltipoo. He is 6 years old and about 8 pounds. If need be, I can always crate him or the other animals depending on whatever the customer prefers! He is very good with other dogs!
“Emma is excellent walking and caring for my high energy dog. She is very communicative, consistently providing thorough updates. She is quick to respond and flexible working to schedule agreeable times. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years and truly love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Before getting my own dog, Kira, I cared for a Shih Tzu and an English Springer Spaniel in my home, including taking them on walks and giving them lots of attention. I’ve now cared for my Maltipoo, Kira, for four years and have taught her potty-pad training since I got her when she was only 3 months old, leash training, and different tricks. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I always make it my priority to give every dog the same love, patience, and care I give my own! My schedule is fairly flexible since I currently work part-time, although my work schedule varies from day to day and isn’t the same every week. Because of this, my availability depends on my work schedule, but I’m able to plan around it and communicate my availability in advance. I’m especially available on weekends and can often accommodate walks, drop-ins, and in-home pet care. I’m always happy to communicate my availability in advance and make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll provide fresh food and water, take them on walks or give them playtime and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and love I would give my own.
“Rosie does very well with my friendly but reserved older husky but also with my wild and crazy 2-yr-old foster dog. Two very different types! Looks like she can deal with most anything.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends with advance notice! I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including my own five dogs. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep them supervised, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to crate your dog if needed and follow any specific care instructions you provide. 🐾❤️
“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”
About: As someone with minimal professional pet care experience, I bring genuine enthusiasm, responsibility, and a strong desire to learn. I’ve always loved animals and have spent time around friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me a basic understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because I work remotely Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My flexible work environment allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I’m home all day, so pets are never left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their the owner’s home, I plan to focus on creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable experience for both the pet and the owner by respecting the owner’s space just as much as I respect their pet, maintaining a clean environment, locking up carefully, and treating the home with the same care I would my own. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make it a priority to follow established household routines closely—whether that includes feeding schedules, walking paths, playtime habits, or special instructions.

Candice is extremely reliable and trustworthy with my big boy! She understands the limitations with my dog’s arthritis and is thoughtful with the walking routes. She is very punctual with her arrival and thorough when leaving notes about how the walks went. I will continue booking Candice for my dog walks!
Kaylee did a great job taking care of Bruce this past weekend! She was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always replied quickly. I felt comfortable knowing Bruce was in good hands. I really appreciate her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Isabella is great! She is reliable, responsible, communicates well, and cares so much (which I appreciate). The boys report cards from their walk is so thorough and thoughtful. She keeps herself and the boys safe. She does meet and greets and always on time! I highly recommend her services if you’re looking for someone!
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!
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!
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.

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.

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.
