Top rated Govans dog walkers
“Maria really helped me out with my two dogs on very short notice. She was responsive and kind. Maria provided several pictures during the walks with realtime updates. I'd definitely trust her again with my dogs!”
“Lady was wonderful! She came over to meet our dogs before walking them the first time and they loved her. Lady was great about keeping us posted on their walks (including sending lots of pictures) and was super responsive. We will definitely be asking her to walk the dogs again!”
“Ivan is the best! Our dog can be reactive and Ivan did a great job of being very patient and calm despite our dog being quite mean. Would highly recommend!”
“Sierra is amazing. She truly connected with our two dogs (both husky mixes), and they couldn't wait for her to arrive so they could on their walks with her. She has a great personality and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional.”
“Elizabeth is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and my dog loved her. My dog is somewhat skiddish due to her past, and it's a comfort to know that Elizabeth knows exactly how to behave around and interact with her without scaring her. I know that having Elizabeth come walk my pup midday significantly increases her quality of life. She felt comfortable around Elizabeth right away, and I'm so glad she's available to give my pup some love and enrichment while I'm at work.”
“Alex did a great job walking my senior pup the past two weeks! He's very responsive on the app and was even willing to be flexible on the timing when something came up last minute. I recommend him for anyone looking for a dependable walker. Thanks Alex!”
“Shynia and Bella bonded instantly. Shynia's soft spoken voice, reliability, mannerisms, consistency, and attention to details throughout the entire dogwalk schedule was a blessing. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Shynia for dog walks or any of you pet needs. I have been consistently impressed by Shynia's positive attitude, feedbacks (Rover card updates and verbal updates), and most of all Bella's happiness and comfort when she is with Shynia.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life! Since I was a kid, we’ve always had dogs in the house, and as I grew older, I became the primary care taker of my dogs back home in Texas. I’m good at following complex regimens, from training details, feeding schedules, and medication administration! I’m am very flexible and comfortable around all dogs. I especially love larger pups. I have just graduated undergrad, so my availability has definitely freed up recently! I am available early mornings during the weekdays and most afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. To me, caring for pets also means giving them all the necessary attention! I love interacting with them at home with gentle play. Outside, I love to take my dogs to a park and let them run around and get their exercise. My dogs love to fetch, so I can’t forget to take a ball with me on our walks! I am always watching for the time, making sure that they are eating and pottying on schedule! My ultimate goal is to ensure that a pet is completely comfortable and safe, whether that means running around with them or taking a very calm walk!!
About: I grew up in a home where we always had at least one dog, and I've been caring for dogs my entire life. As an adult, I cared for an elderly dog through his senior years, including managing his medical needs and ensuring his comfort during his final chapter. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize subtle signs that a dog needs extra care or gentler handling. I've also regularly cared for friends' and neighbors' dogs over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality—some are energetic and playful, others prefer calm, steady walks. I take time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. For me, spending time with dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely miss and enjoy. I'm reliable, observant, and will treat your dog with the same care and respect I gave my own. I work from home full-time during weekdays but have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on dog walking during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm looking for regular clients who need consistent care, whether that's daily walks, weekend visits, or occasional drop-ins. I live in the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore and am happy to work with clients in my neighborhood. Walking is something I already enjoy and build into my day, so adding dog walks feels natural rather than squeezed in. I'm reliable about communication and will always let you know if my availability changes. For dog walking, I always ensure dogs are securely leashed before leaving the home and stay alert to their body language and the environment around us. I'm comfortable navigating busy sidewalks, parks, and quieter residential areas depending on what the dog prefers. I follow any specific instructions owners provide about routes, other dogs, or behavioral needs. If watching pets in their home, I'm respectful of the space, follow feeding and medication schedules carefully, and keep owners updated. I understand the responsibility of having someone's keys and entering their home, and I take that trust seriously.
“Eva’s dad always goes above and beyond to make sure our pup is taken care of! This time she had had an accident in the living room and he even cleaned it up. We couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Wonderful dog walker and pet sitter and a true animal lover! She walked my high-energy beagle/hound twice a week for about six months and even took her running, which she loves! She sends pictures every time, which I really appreciate. And she would give my cat some snuggles and attention, too. I called on her last month to pet sit in my home for several days while I was traveling, and she was awesome. I felt great knowing the pets were getting a lot of attention while I was away, and again, the pictures! Sad to see her leave our area-- she is fantastic!”
“She helped us out when we were in such a pinch! We had taken in an emergency foster and he was alone for the day. She responded before 8AM and was there by noon to walk the sweet boy!”
About: I have taken care of many different pets over the years and have extensive experience with senior dogs, anxious pets and administering meds or other special care. I love to get to know each pets individual personality and needs. In addition to taking care of my own pets and regular pet sitting, I have worked as a farmer for many years which makes me familiar with a very wide range of animal behavior -- there is very little I haven't seen when it comes to pets! My schedule is flexible right now! For weekday walks or drop in services I am available between 8am to 7pm and on the weekend between 10am to 9pm. For house sitting services, we can work out the right schedule for you pets and other needs. For caring for pets in your home -- I want to understand what your dynamic, rules and routine is and follow that as best as possible so your pet has stability.
“Tiara has been such a blessing to my healing after having a baby. I can't get out to walk my dog but we signed up for rover and got linked up with the awesome Tiara!”
About: I’ve had pets all of my life (18 years) and I’ve learned that I love animals and taking care of them just comes easy to me. I would love to watch and take care of dogs. I will treat your pet like it’s one of my own. I’m currently in the process of finding a new job so I will be free everyday of the week until then! If I could make dog walking/sitting my main job, I would love to do that! I handle pets with care and respect. I never want to hurt an animal. I will do whatever the pet owner needs me to do with no problem.
“She is very responsive and my baby loves her! She has been a saving grace for me and Rivah's anxiety. I no longer worry if Rivah is oK while I am gone for lengthy periods of time. THANK YOU IMANI!!!”
Govans dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alex was so warm, calm, and easygoing that he immediately made us feel comfortable, especially since this was our first time hiring a pet sitter. He took the time to get to know our husky, listened carefully to all of our instructions, and made sure our pup was well cared for, walked, and able to go potty. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. Thank you, Alex, for making our first Rover experience such a positive and wonderful one!
Very happy with the service provided. The request was semi last minute as I'm dealing with family issues, but we were able to work something out. She met up with the dogs and I prior to the walk to discuss their specific needs and to meet them. During the walk(s) she was very communicative, thorough and attentive to the point where I felt like I was walking my own dogs lol. Bottom line, this isn't a 1 and done, I will be requesting her services again, I suggest you do the same.
Aidan took wonderful care of our foster, Tango, who had just recently gotten neutered. I was nervous about leaving him, but after a meet and greet with Aidan, I knew he was in great hands. They were very respectful of the notes I left and were attuned to Tango's needs in his vulnerable state. Their calm and grounding energy was just what Tango needed during his recovery. I would highly recommend Aidan to anyone who is looking for a thoughtful, kind, and reliable person to care for their pets.
