About: Hi there! I’m a fun-loving, dependable dog walker who truly believes every dog deserves plenty of love, attention, and adventure. Whether your pup is full of energy and ready to explore or prefers a leisurely stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I’m happy to meet them wherever they’re at! I love getting outside, staying active, and making sure every walk feels like the highlight of your dog’s day. You can expect plenty of belly rubs, playtime, positive attention, and of course, lots of happy tail wags! 🐶❤️ Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and patience I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send updates and photos along the way, so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time. I’m currently waiting to start my job but it takes a large amount of paper work and have plenty of time for the next month. Once I start working I’ll be able to also do it on my day off. My yard is large and I have a friendly dog who loves to play. My neighborhood is also very shaded so dogs are able to take nice shaded walks.
“I was in a bind and needed a dog walker quick because I only had 3 weeks of school left and my previous dog walker, not from Rover, couldn’t finish out the year so I was super nervous with finding someone to trust with my Boston Terrier, Penny Lane. When Kimberly walked in the house, Penny Lane immediately adored her! It was a perfect fit! Kimberly is SO friendly and has such a kind spirit about her. I felt at ease and relaxed when I met Kimberly and saw her with Penny Lane. I knew she was going to take such great care of her! She was very professional as well and showed up on time everyday and sent pictures to me of my pup. Kimberly is wonderful and very trustworthy and I’d ask her to help out with Penny anyday! Thank you Rover and Kimberly for such a wonderful experience!”
“We hired Josh for some dog walking. He was very good at calming down our high energy dogs to put leashes on, arrived on time, and gave full 30 minute walks. He also followed some strict rules about our gate unfailingly.”
About: I am an animal lover to the end! I will love your pets like they are my own! I understand that pets are part of the family, so for your peace of mind I will keep you updated with messages and photos of your pets while they are in my care! I can be available anytime for your pet needs! I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I am very fun loving and responsible! Your pets will join my daily routine effortlessly! Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs! I grew up with a dog in my home, a beautiful English springer spaniel who was definitely a member of our family, going everywhere with us! When she passed away my senior year in high school, I begged my mom to get another one! She refused and I had to wait until I got my own place. I got my own dog the same day I moved out! :-)
“Great Experience! Brooke did an excellent job walking both my dogs for 30 mins, and I could tell my dogs were happy and comfortable. She is reliable, attentive and clearly great with dogs. I really appreciated knowing my pups were in good hands, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“We love, Leigh!!! my girls love her so much she treats them like they’re her own, with so much love and happiness! Very communicative and always shows up”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life- dogs, cats, turtles, ferrets, horses, etc. All of my kids love animals so this seems like a great fit to help and make some extra travel money :) I work from home and kids are in school full time so I am flexible during the days alone and after school/weekend the kids love to help. My pets always have the best care and stay up to date with health, and are always very social. Must be okay with kids around who know how to be gentle and enjoy animals.
About: I’ve pet sit for family, and friends since I was in early highschool - working with all sorts of animals! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc. I also previously have worked at a dog training facility with many different dog breeds/temperaments. I have two sweet kitties at home myself, and I love to help people out and make their day to day easier, which is why I’m on Rover! I currently am a teacher full time, but I have availability on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and full availability on weekends to help with your pet! I can do a drop in, feedings, walks, or playtime! I have experience with crating dogs, dog walking, delivering medicine, and more! I personally do not bring other pets to my home, but I can always walk your pet around your neighborhood, take them to the park, etc!
About: Hello! My name is Vivian. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals of all kinds. I grew up an animal lover surrounded by dogs and large farm animals teaching me proper pet responsibility, patience, and deep compassion. I have hands on experience vaccinating large farm animals, administering medications, and providing attentive care to puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I am confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I always adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether this is crate training a new puppy, supporting an older pet with mobility issues, or simply giving extra cuddles and playtime, I treat every pet like family and my own! Your pet’s health, happiness, and safety are always my top priorities! <3 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I work from home 3–4 days a week. This flexible schedule allows me to be available for pets throughout the day, whether it's providing company and care at home or doing check-ins and walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy building pet care into my day, it keeps me active and brings a lot of joy and purpose to my routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, toys, and cozy resting areas. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, to help them feel secure and at ease. I also have a sweet small dog named Harley, a rescue pup from Mexico, who absolutely loves all dogs and people. He’s gentle, playful, and always happy to make new His his presence often helps visiting pets feel more relaxed and welcome. When caring for pets in a client’s home - whether it’s dog walking, check-ins, or visits, I follow all instructions carefully, give pets the love and attention they need, and keep the space tidy and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s daycare, boarding, or a quick visit, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years since I was a little kid and grew up with them. I have 2 currently and I treat them as my children. My friends and family have relied and counted on me to take care of there dogs and I have always excelled at it. Animals are my one true love and I will love yours as if they are my own. I am currently a student but my schedule is flexible and I’m able to work around when I need to do everything. I make it a priority to always put them first and make sure all there needs are taken care of. My dogs are feed 2 times daily given vitamins and plums to help there skin and coat. They are walked at least 5 times weekly with by weekly baths. They have a huge yard where they run and play we train usually 2 to 3 times a week and on weekends go out and socialize around my town.
“Jenny has been an excellent dog walker for us! She’s professional, flexible with scheduling, and communicative. 100% recommend and will be using her services for boarding in the future! She shows my baby lot of love and attention too!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life—cats were actually my first love, and I’m still a total sucker for them! While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I’m very happy to provide drop-in care for your feline family members. At home, I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, who enjoy having canine companions around. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. We also have a large fenced yard where they have plenty of room to safely get outside and play. I know every pet has their own personality and routine—from the social butterfly who wants constant attention to the shy one who needs time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care for them like I would want someone to care for mine. And because I know how hard it can be to leave them, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day with my own two dogs, Aspen and Indy. This gives me plenty of flexibility for meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of companionship. Pets staying with me won’t routinely be left alone for long stretches, and we also have a large fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. I’m also available for drop-in visits depending on the location and requested time. I finish my workday in the early afternoon, so my afternoons and evenings are generally very flexible for drop-ins. Morning or daytime visits may also be possible depending on timing and distance—just send me a request and we can see if it works! In my home, I try to keep your pet’s routine as close to what they’re used to as possible. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, meals, playtime, attention and plenty of cuddles. We have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and my two Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, are friendly and enjoy having canine companions. I can accommodate different comfort levels and personalities. If your dog enjoys being social, they can join Aspen and Indy for playtime and relaxation. If your pet is more comfortable having their own space or needs to be kept separate from other animals, I can accommodate that as well. My goal is for each pet to feel safe and comfortable rather than expecting every animal to interact. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special routines or needs. I know being away from home can be stressful, so I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable and treated like part of the family while they’re here. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine in their own home, including feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box care, medications if needed, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to simply provide companionship for pets who are shy or prefer interaction on their own terms. I’ll provide photos and updates during stays or visits so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve worked for a doggy day care and boarding facility. I also have owned pups my entire life. I love pups and would love to take care of yours! I am available anytime to play with and care for your pups! I can work around any schedule 7 days a week. Whatever is convenient for you just let me know. I have 2 pup friendly fur babies if your pups would like to play with them. If not my pups are well crate trained and I have an extra room if needed for my pups to go into!
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I would go to my neighbor's house and take care of their dogs and cats when they were out of town. I would take care of my auntie's dog as well, and he would stay with me at my house while she was out of town. I'm currently a full-time college student and most of my classes are online. So I only go on campus 2 days a week. I have a huge backyard for them to play in. My main living space has wood floors. I usually play with them or stick beside them the whole time.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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.

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.
