“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!”


“Elizabeth is amazing - she really has a way with dogs! She brings out the best in my dog and he absolutely adores and respects her. Not to mention she's reliable and professional.”

“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.”


“Bob and his son Bobby were the best! Completely reliable and capable. My dog, that I have trouble managing, was easily handled them. I am very impressed with the quality of this service and they are first on my list for the next time.”

“Margaret was very sweet with my dog Lily. Lily was nervous at first, as she often is with new people, but she came back from the walk relaxed and happy.”


“Sun has been great to work with, and I hope to continue to work with them this year. Fitz responds really well to them, and I can tell they care about taking care of my dog. Thank you so much for all that you do!”

“Corinne was great! She met us for a meet and greet before the walk, and she responded quickly to our questions. She was great with Sadie--a large dog who can be very energetic--and she was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to everyone on Rover.”


“IImani is so thoughtful and when she’s with Bella, I feel completely safe. Today is a fairly hot day and she remembered that Bella has a cooling Best and put that on her. I really appreciate her extra efforts.”

“Chelsea was fantastic!!! One of my dogs wont go near any new people and, yet, she ran right up to her!! She sent photos at each walk and was always responsive, immediately. I will most definitely utilize her services again. Wonderful human being!”

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.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I grew up with a large dog who was deeply loved and considered part of the family. Caring for him taught me how to recognize an animal’s needs, understand body language, and approach pets with patience, respect, and compassion through all stages of their lives. Since then, I have cared for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family through regular check-ins, weekend visits, week-long house-sitting stays, and week-long dog-sitting stays in my own home. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and may need time to feel comfortable with someone new or in a new environment. I am patient during that adjustment period and always do my best to maintain their normal routine and help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology with a focus in ecology and marine biology. I also recently completed an internship with Zoo Miami in animal care, training, and husbandry. This experience strengthened my ability to observe animal behavior, respond appropriately to their needs, and communicate with animals using clear, consistent, and positive methods. I am new to the city and currently have full availability including last minute scheduling, and I am excited to build trusted relationships with local pet owners and their animals. Animal welfare is extremely important to me, and I would treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I recently moved to the city and currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day, seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This flexibility allows me to accommodate check-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every pet according to their usual routine, personality, and individual needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner, and I take time to help each pet feel safe and comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I am respectful of both the pet’s space and the home itself. I make sure doors, windows, gates, leashes, and carriers are secure, keep food and potentially harmful items out of reach, and leave the home clean and orderly. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment. I supervise pets closely, give them plenty of attention, and help them adjust patiently to the new surroundings. I understand that some animals need more time and space than others, so I always pay attention to their body language and comfort level.

About: I worked at a veterinary clinic to assist the vet, walked the dogs, and take care of the animals. I have taken care of cats and dogs of every kind. I am known to be very friendly to pets and very patient and I spoil them a lot! I work from home, so I will be with my furry friends and give my full attention. I like to go on daily walks and take dogs on a 4-5 15 mins walk and a long an hour walk. I live super close to 3 parks to my apartment which is a popular dog owner meeting place. I can provide unleashed time to my furry friend if the owner allows.
About: I have always wanted a dog, I just never was in the right environment for one. I have always gotten along with them and multiple friends of mine are dog owners. Dogs and I get along very well and I thoroughly enjoy their company. I have had a lot of previous pets throughout my life and have always had a great experience. I have actually done multiple Rovers with a friend through their account and enjoyed it very much. I promise to walk and play with any dog to the fullest extent. I don't mind going on long walks or waking up at any hour for them. If you love someone, set them free. If you hate someone set them free. Basically set everyone free and get a dog. I work from home Monday through Wednesday, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable care for your pet throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other routines your pet may have. My girlfriend also has a flexible work schedule and can help when needed, so your pet will have plenty of attention and companionship. We’re fortunate to have a dog park right next to our house, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and outdoor play. We’ve also watched several dogs in our home and have really enjoyed the experience. We do our best to provide a comfortable, friendly environment where each pet feels right at home.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. I've had my own dog since I was six years old, and over the years I've cared for more than five dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. From walks and playtime to feeding, bathing, and plenty of cuddles, I genuinely love every part of caring for them. I treat every dog like they're my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while they're with me. I absolutely adore dogs, and I can't wait to meet your babt! I'm currently a full-time college student, so my schedule is designed to fit around classes. I'm available on weekdays after 3:00 PM and have open availability on weekends. I'll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve! I've cared for my own dog since I was six years old, so looking after dogs has always been part of my daily life. I know how important it is to keep them on a consistent routine, so I make sure they're fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. When I'm caring for a dog in a client's home, I treat them just like I treat my own dog by following their routine closely, keeping them happy and comfortable, and making sure they get the care they deserve while you're away.
About: I have lived with and been around animals my entire life. I currently have 4 cats, aquatic pets, and also work professionally in the animal welfare industry. I am serious about pet care! I'm here to provide your dog or cat with the best experience I can while you are away. I am experienced with a variety of behaviors & medical needs in both dogs and cats. I am also happy to care for guinea pigs, birds, rabbits, chickens, feed your outdoor / feral cats... Ask me about my special rates! I love to house sit. I am clean, tidy, honest, and will respect your home and privacy. You will come home to a house exactly as you left it. I do not accept bookings with indoor cameras / nanny cams for my own saftey and privacy. I am also not able to provide 24 hour care because I work a full time job. Read my reviews! They speak for themselves. I look forward to meeting you & your pet :) I work 5 days/week, 8 hour shifts. If your pet can not be alone for that length of time you will need to hire an additional individual to drop in mid day. If you have questions about scheduling for house sitting please reach out. I'm sure between the two of us we can find the right routine for your pet! I will do my best to replicate the routines and care you provide for your pet just as you would provide for them yourself. I'm not here to judge or change care. You always know what is best for your own animal although am happy to offer advice if asked. Please note, I am not a trainer.
About: I grew up on a dairy farm but have switched to caring for our smaller four legged friends in my adult life. As a vet assistant I’ve handled various medical needs for furry friends, and have a disabled boy of my own. 🐈 I have experience caring for babies and seniors alike, with medication administration included. My experience in the medical field the past 10 years adds additional value in case of event. My wife and I along with Moose and Marcie recently moved to the area and I have an open schedule to visit your babies! While I do have some obligations, I will work to ensure nothing intervenes with your pets care. While I am unable to bring other pets in my home, I will cater care to the pet owners preference. Each pet is different and I understand the quirks some folks may want to address. I’m here for you and your pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Guilford
Highly recommend! I needed a dog walker the same day, and William was very accommodating and easy to work with. He was friendly, communicative, and treated my 125lb German Shepherd with great care. It’s not always easy to find someone reliable on short notice who can handle a big dog. I’ve already booked again!

I had a knee injury and suddenly needed a dog walker fast and Ivan was extremely responsive. Ivan has been so great with my Pittie, Kai. Kai has a neurological condition - NCL4A that makes her a bit wobbly and need some special attention and stability on walks at times and she also loves walks. Ivan has been really understanding of her needs and helpful with her and she gets so excited every morning for this walk.

Emma is the BEST!! She takes great care of my dog Levi and I feel at ease knowing that she is the one visiting him. She always spends extra time giving him pets and treats, and she also sends wonderful report cards for me to view. So grateful for Emma! Cannot recommend her enough.

We are so fortunate to have found Sarah on Rover! We could not have asked for a more patient and understanding friend to our Tilley, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter! Great communication and flexibility during her visit, would definitely book her again!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.
