About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. Including gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, birds, dogs, cats, and assisted with goats, donkeys, horses. I have prior pet sitting experience. My Mother owned a pet sitting business in the early 2000's, I assisted her. She has since retired and is from the Sykesville/Eldersburg area...farmland area more or so back then...many things have changed. She taught me to love all animals, even if they're grouchy...look for that light that's inside them...love that. Cat parents...we had barn cats...Spanky and Cleo, the occasional stray that decided to call are farm home. We had heated and a/c controlled tack rooms. Both cats were adopted from shelters and lived 10 plus years. They had free roam with the horses...goats...donkeys...and neighbors dog Bailey...very well loved. I do know that cats are particular with who they accept/like. Sometimes it takes time. But it's important to pay attention to them and their body language. I respect that. I have plenty of time to help take care of pets. Whether it's daily visits or vacations, it's important to know your furry, scaled, or feather babies are in good hands. Depending on your pets needs, I love petting and giving cuddles to animals. I am comfortable changing rodent and bird cages, or different needs for individual pets. Just an update since I have been on Rover...I have lost both my dogs, Diesel 12/21 and Riley 2/23, Diesel was a rescue pup that we adopted at 6 months old. Riley was from a private home. They were together from 6 and 9 months old and were my best friends. I miss them dearly and think about them everyday. Diesel was just about 13 years old and Riley was over 14 years old. I am taking a break for a bit from having my own pups, and all the love I have for dogs and any animal will be passed on to any that I take care of. I am available weekdays and weekends. Mornings and evenings, mid day visits as well Monday thru Friday. I communicate my schedule during the meet and greet or prior to booking if there is any conflicts. I treat my clients pets as I would my own. It can be lonely and scary when a pets owner is gone more than normal, they will get lots of love.
About: Hi! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, couch snuggles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. For house sitting, my standard rate includes typical care such as feeding, walks/potty breaks, companionship, overnight care, and lots of love. If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!
About: Ive been around, and taken care of pets for my family/other friends and family for as long as I can remember. I have been trusted with the tasks of walking, grooming, medicating, and making sure the well being of the pet is at its fullest, and if it’s not, I am keen to figure out the problem. I am also very good with pets under the age of 1, as I have assisted in raising 3 litters of dogs of my own. I currently work as a freelance musician, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My availability is very flexible, as the shows I play are in town, and only take up a small part of the day or night, so I will not be away from your pet very long, if at all! I have 5 dogs of my own, who are on a feeding/bathroom schedule that we follow daily. When I take them outside I am with them to make sure they do all they need to do so there are no accidents in the house. When taking care of your pet I will always cater to their need/routine; give them as much space, and or as much love as they need!
“Danika did great walking Spunky. She kept a brisk pace to keep my dog active but she also stopped to let Spunky sniff and smell things. Spunky is very happy and comfortable with Danika which isn’t always the case because my dog is a rescue pup. Danika arrived on time and is very professional, I will be using her services again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I absolutely love and adore my pets Suki and Loki my Lab/Pit mixes. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them all the love and care they deserve. I only have a part time job. I will have plenty of time to devote to doing what I love more than anything in the world. Taking care of and helping animals . My pups frequently get hiking trips into the woods, and I also have a huge backyard for them both to run and play as many times a day they would like. I am not available for over night services. Unless you would allow me to come home and let my own dogs out. Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a wonderful day! I am currently only working two days a week so I will have plenty of time to take care of your special fur babies. I will be able to give them all the love and playtime they deserve. I have a big backyard for both my dogs. Both are well-trained. I do have a dog run for my dog Loki because he is extra extra energy. I am unavailable to host your pups in my home. I apologize in advance.
“Natasha is a great dog walker. She is very sweet and did a great job with my dog. My dog came back very happy and tired. I would definitely recommend Natasha for dog walking.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats being a part of my family since I was a kid who enjoyed giving extra treats to my grandmother's Chow Chow! I have experience with dog walking and pet sitting for friends and family. I have a pretty open weekly schedule as I am currently between jobs. I also have reliable transportation so getting to your pets will be no problem! I will do everything in my power to make sure your pet feels safe and welcome in my company. If this means extra belly rubs or treats, then I can make that happen!
“Wydia is wonderful with our dog. She walked him in the cold, rainy weather for us and dried him off without us asking so he would not be wet after the walk. I highly recommend her!!”
“Destiny was great with Belle. She came to pick her up on time, communicated with me in details about her walk with Belle and Belle seems very pleased with her. Will definitely recommend.”
“Thank you Bronte for taking such good care of Olivia, and for the beautiful photos of her walk :-) She is a nervous little dog and it means so much to us that she is in good hands <3 <3 <3”

“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”
“Ryan has been such a huge blessing. We walk our neighbor's dog regularly but since I was traveling for two weeks, we asked our neighbor if we could hire a dog walker for that time. Ryan not only managed a big strong dog but willingly accepted the dog's owner walking with him. She has some medical challenges that make it hard for her to walk her dog but she still wants the exercise. He was always early as well as patient, kind and respectful. We will definitely use him again.”
“Ican't say enough good things about karima! She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and always go above and beyond to make sure my dog, Bruno is well-exercised and happy. I especially love the daily updates and photos they send during the walk, which gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work."”
“Tia is awesome with Ziggy. In just 1 week, Ziggy has gotten used to her coming through the door. And sits and waits for her. This has been a lifesaver for us. We will continue to have Tia around as long as she will have us.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with 3 dogs, and regularly pet sit for friends and family before deciding to make it official. Friends often call me an animal whisperer because even shy or nervous pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I work remotely, and am very active, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention (and activity)! I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active. I also attend run clubs where pets are allowed, so if your fur baby is social, I’ll happily take them! I have a backyard, and live in a community with plenty areas to walk and sniff. Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gibson Island
Highly recommend Ryan! He took the time to do a meet and greet and really understand my dog’s specific needs. He was very communicative and flexible whenever any changes came up, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most was how he followed my dog’s training routines and even used the exact phrases we’ve been working on. He handled my dog’s reactivity with care and confidence, and it made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands!
Brianna responded quickly to a last minute dog walking request and gave my dog some much needed exercise while I was at work for the day. Even though my dog is high energy and I was still figuring out some of his quirks since I had just gotten him a week prior to the request, Brianna did a great job handling his walks each day! I'd definitely recommend her to care for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 7,421 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gibson Island. 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 Gibson Island. 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 Gibson Island.
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 Gibson Island. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
