Lydia walks our one-year Papillon Mix several days per week. She's always timely and provides us updates after each walk. Our dog is always happy when we get home from work. We highly recommend Lydia for walks!

What a lovely person. Carrie is a treasure. Not only did she come to meet Archer prior to the booking but she really left such a detailed report. That means a lot that she took the time to let me know how things went. She even performed small gestures for my home that really warmed my heart.. I would happily book again with Carrie. 10/10

About: I have owned cats since I was two and had a Dog for over 10 years. I worked in a vet and also a kennel so I have lots of medication and care experience. I have been pet sitting since about 8 years old and can't wait to meet your little fur babies!! I have a flexible schedule, reliable transportation. I am also able to do early morning and late night potty breaks as well as feeding times. I am careful to follow the provided instructions. I can do feeding, brushing, administering medication, and litter maintenance. I enjoy lots of play time and will always give cuddles!

About: I have had dogs in my household ever since I was a little girl. I have had a chocolate lab, boxer mix, basset hound, German shepard, pit bull, and now Mr. Oakley who is a lab/pit mix. I love to bond and care for fur babies and I enjoy playing and loving on them any chance I can get. Hi! I’m currently a full-time teacher in Anne Arundel County and an experienced caregiver who loves spending time with animals. My background in education has made me responsible, communicative, and dependable. Starting in June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule as I transition from teaching, allowing me to offer more availability for walks and drop-ins. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I care for my pets in my home by making sure their food and water bowls are always full and fresh. I make sure that my dog gets some outdoor playtime each day to burn off his energy and to be able to stay healthy and to help us bond together. I love to spoil my dog with homemade popsicles, treats, and yogurt bars are his favorite! My dog loves to have all attention on him and he is a sucker for a belly rub followed by jumping in your bed to snuggle with you.

Kim did a great job taking care of our (giant) dogs. She asked great questions during the meet/greet to make certain she had all the details, and she let us know how things were going during the walk.

About: Giant breed dog owner with 25+ years of hands-on experience, as well as a current toy breed owner, giving me the knowledge and confidence to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Experienced with daily care, exercise, feeding routines, medications, senior support, and understanding breed-specific needs for both large and small dogs. I’ve also owned and cared for cats for over 25 years through every life stage — from kittens to seniors — and understand the importance of patience, comfort, routine, and individualized attention for each pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, large, small, young, or senior, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to their unique needs. As a small business owner, I have the flexibility to schedule my day around your dog or cat’s routine and care needs, allowing for consistent, dependable, and timely visits. This flexibility helps ensure your pets receive attentive care, companionship, exercise, and comfort while you’re away. I focus on keeping your dog or cat’s routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and thorough litter box cleaning when needed, while making sure your pet’s environment stays clean, safe, and comfortable. I take time to observe your pet’s behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, since even small changes can be important. Whether your pet is energetic and social or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to provide enrichment, exercise, affection, or quiet companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I always treat your home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Jalisa was very helpful with my dog. I was in town for work and she walked my dog each day and made sure she had something to drink at the end of the walk. She provided pictures and updates throughout their time together. She was willing to meet me on the day that I arrived in town so my dog would be familiar with her on the next day when she would have to get her without me being home. She was accommodating although it was a last minute booking. I would definitely use her again.

About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.

About: I am a lover of all animals and always have been. I had a dog growing up and currently have a spoiled dog named Snickers. I used to help a friend groom dogs also. I am currently between jobs so I am available and want to keep myself active during this down time. I have a dog of my own but I figured spending more time outdoors and with animals will be beneficial to my mental health. I walk my dog multiple times a day around our neighborhood. We often go to the beach where he loves to explore. Occasionally, we will go to the dog park. I have house-sat for other dogs in their homes, and when we aren't outside playing, I will cuddle on the couch and watch movies with the animals and give them lots of pets.

Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!

Jake is conscientious, kind and obviously loves dogs. His detailed reports and photos kept me informed and I think the dogs really enjoyed his company. He’s a busy guy and I appreciate that he could fit us in this week! Will request him again in the future.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Governor Run

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Governor Run on Rover is $44.4 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 1,295 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Governor Run. 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 Governor Run. 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 Governor Run.

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 Governor Run. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
