About: Pets are family, and we love providing a safe, fun, and loving home for them to stay! Our dog passed away on Christmas 2024. While we’re not ready for a new pup of our own yet, we love opening our home to others. We have two kind, animal-loving kids (ages 3 and 9) who are gentle, playful, and always excited to help care for our furry guests. To make sure every pet feels at home, we usually host just one dog at a time (unless they’re from the same family). Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while you’re away — along with lots of love from the whole family. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 I work full time as a social worker during the school year but off during the summer. I am able to provide care on weeknights and weekends and more intensive care in the summer! Our dog recently passed away and we are used to providing regular dog care. We have a large, un-fenced yard and great areas for walking!
About: I am calm, observant, and attentive to every pets needs. I have participated in dog training, so understanding pet behavior is the core component that drives my work. I bring calm, structure, and authenticity to every visit! I am currently a graduate student pursuing mental health counseling, so I am able to care for your pets in between classes and during breaks! I provide calm, reliable, and attentive care for pets of all personalities. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, or a drop in visit, I focus on communication and consistency to ensure a smooth visit!! I care deeply about animals and love to work toward making pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I am a crazy cat lady. I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently care for three of my own. One of my cats has chronic kidney disease, so I’m very experienced with medications, subcutaneous fluids, and close monitoring. I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs, giving oral medications. I truly value the human animal bond and treat every cat as if they were my own. I’m a strong communicator and provide regular updates and photos. I’m always happy to do a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for both you and your cat. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I currently work remotely. I can be flexible and work around your schedule. I would be happy To work from your home and spend more time with your cats if you want! I provide calm, routine focused care while respecting each cat’s boundaries. I keep environments clean and safe, follow instructions carefully, monitor for subtle changes, and communicate promptly with regular updates
“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
About: Hello there! Having been a dog owner myself, I truly understand the special attention your furry friends need. For the past couple of years, I've happily assisted family and friends with walking, feeding, and playing with their dogs while they were away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and even helped with administering medications through their food. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I offer a flexible schedule to fit your pet care needs. If you think it would be beneficial for me to stay on-site with your pet, I'm happy to do that. If you just need someone to drop in and check on your dog during the day, I can do that as well! My goal is to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. When I care for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable around me. I stick to a pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, which helps them feel at ease. I also keep a close eye on their health incase there are any concerns/changes in your pet’s behavior and/or appetite. Safety is a priority, so I ensure their environment is free from hazards both in and outdoors and your dog will always have a leash on when on walks. I plan to stay in touch with you — the pet owner — giving an update after or during each visit I have with your pet. If you would like pictures of your pet sent to you while I am with them — let me know! My goal is to provide a loving and engaging atmosphere where pets can feel comfortable in their own space.
About: I am a nearby teacher just looking to help you out with your dog/s! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else and I want it to be stress-free for you. I have a dog of my own, and I grew up with dogs all my life and love to be around them! I can socialize your pup with mine or keep them separate. I am free most weekends and holidays. I can go on a run and/or walk with your dog or just give them a little extra love and attention. I am a big fan of all dogs whether they are big or small. I also know some about cats if you need help with them as well. I am available on weekends and if needed can work in a Friday too. This allows me to put all my attention on your pets. I have one fur baby of my own that can easily be separated from your pup if needed. I also have easily access to a crate and a neighborhood dog park.
About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was young! I’ve always wanted to take care of animals and now I want to do more than what there needs are. I work with animals about everyday, so I have worked with them more. I love getting to know each individual pet as I’m learning more! I’m willing to come check in on them every 4-8 hours and care for what they need done including feeding, potty breaks and walks if needed
“Alyssa was great with Queijo! Offered to feed her and took care of a couple of messes for me. Happy she was available and glad that she enjoyed spending time with Queijo! Definitely recommend!”
“Allison was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She continues to be a favorite sitter! She sends us cute pictures and updates on the visit and I can enjoy my time away without worrying about them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Last night was Darlin’s first meeting with Emmalee when she took him for a walk. From the photos she sent during the walk, Darlin’ looked quite content! And when I got home a couple hours later, he was so calm and ready to call it a night! Emmalee was very responsive to all my questions and is a great communicator. She sent a text the morning of the evening walk to let me know she was looking forward to it. She sent another text when she was on her way to my house. I wasn’t home when she came, but she seemed to easily navigate my instructions and take Darlan for a good hearty walk. I felt very comfortable having her into my house without me being there.I loved getting photos from her during that time. I initially met Emmalee at the dog park, where she was walking three dogs and seemed to be loving it. She had great control of them and could even stop and chat with me. I would highly recommend Emmalee to others! Diane
Karlee walked my dog during her stop in visits and sent photos for each walk. She was always on time and very very reliable. I highly recommend Karlee for your next pet care. I will always ask if Karlee is available First and every time. My 95 lb lab loves Miss Karlee !!! Your's will too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Germantown on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,160 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:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
