“Ivan is so sweet and patient with my little hyper puppy. He always takes the cutest pictures, and I am so relieved that she gets some extra time and attention from him every walk. I will continue to use Ivan as a walker for as long as he is willing!”
About: I have loved and cared for pets and wild animals my whole life! I grew up next to a forest and have since pursued a career in wildlife ecology. I just moved to Baltimore with my partner and I thought I’d try Rover as a side-hustle while I look for jobs…I have loved it so much that I’ve converted it to my full-time job while I apply to graduate positions for fall 2027! When I was very little, my family had three cats, and this fostered in me a deep love for cats from a very early age. I pride myself in my ability to match energies with cats of varying needs and temperaments, and keep kitties comfortable and cared-for while owners are away. I’m not yet ready to be able to afford a cat of my own, but I love spending time with and caring for cats of family members, friends, and Rover clients! I also grew up with a large chocolate labradoodle named Yoda. Through caring for Yoda, I learned how a dog can become an integral member of the family, and I learned the ins and outs of dog care firsthand (especially with a large, shedding dog!). I learned to recognize needs, understand body language, and approach him with patience, respect, and compassion through all stages of his life. I have experience with exotic pets, senior cats & dogs, puppies, kittens, and administering medications to cats & dogs. I like to keep owners well updated, supplied with cute photos, and relaxed knowing their pets are well cared for while they’re away! I’m an open book! Apart from an internship that I have on Wednesdays (I can still do drop-ins after 5pm!), I am available every day including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This flexibility allows me to accommodate check-ins, walks, and last-minute requests whenever needed! Coming from my own pet-owning experiences, I know how scary it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care!! I want you to feel well communicated with and have peace of mind knowing your loved ones are in safe hands.
“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!!!”
“My pit bull mix Annie has some issues with anxiety and reactivity, but Lindsay does a great job keeping her calm and feeling safe! I know she is taken good care of while I'm at work!”
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 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.
“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: Hi there, I’m Nayev! If it has fur, scales, or fins, I’ve probably cared for it and loved it. My background is a mix of professional animal work as a dog boarder, groomer, and daycare employee, rescue volunteer, and multi-species pet owner myself. Thus, absolutely nothing phases me. I’ve dealt with every behavioral issue under the sun, from intense separation anxiety to reactive dogs. More than anything, I just have a ton of love to give. I treat every pet like family and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins while you're away. I work outside of pet-care, but my schedule is very flexible, so I can fit your pets needs and not the other way around. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have plenty of fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I also make sure their space is clean, comfortable, and safe. Every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them feel happy and comfortable.
“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 loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I started caring for pets when I was a teenager. Spending time with animals brings me so much peace and happiness, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for puppies, small and large dogs, and senior pets. I enjoy walking, playing, cuddling, and keeping them company, while always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, which has taught me to be especially attentive and careful. I’m comfortable following owners’ instructions for medications and special routines, and I understand how important it is to closely monitor a pet and notice any changes in their behavior or well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, responsibility, and lots of love. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away! I’m currently studying independently for my U.S. medical licensing exams, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I also take a ceramics class on Wednesday mornings, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. Because I study on my own, I can plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I’m happy to spend quality time with them, take them on walks, play with them, and give them the attention and companionship they need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment complex with facilities designed for pets. My one-bedroom apartment is a comfortable and welcoming space where pets are more than welcome. I also have a private porch with easy outdoor access, which makes it convenient to take pets outside without having to walk through the entire complex every time. I always prioritize safety and comfort, and I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully regarding routines, feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and at home while their owners are away. ❤️
About: I've been around dogs and cats since I can remember. Love to be around pets and learn what they like and need. Whether it's long walks or chilling on the couch, I'm here for it all. I have a very flexible schedule. I can be available most days between 9 am and 6 pm with advanced notice, including Saturdays and Sundays. Personalizing care for each pet is the name of the game. I'm currently under the rule of 2 cats that demand couch time at all times, but playtime is never neglected. For higher energy pets, I try to have them spend as much energy as I can so they have the best naps ever. All while respecting each pets boundaries, of course.
About: I am interested in serving my Baltimore neighbors. I live on 40th near the Rotunda with my 2 children and husband. My loving pets have passed of old age, and I am looking to be a pet Aunty instead of adopting or fostering. I hope to give back to my community by offering great care at an affordable price, and connect with great pets. I am a available any time right now. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings, so I am extremely flexible. Hope to hear from you! I am timely. attentive. caring, patient and thorough in care I provide. I have been a cat and pet owner my entire life. Most recently a large dog. I also have two happy, healthy human children. Both have prepared me well for attending to your fur baby.
About: I have grown up with pets in my home since I was atleast 6 years old. My career is people-centered, but I've always wanted to work with animals. My love for them is so endless! I have taken care of dogs including dachshunds, cats,fish, turtles, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and once had a pet donkey. I grew up with friends who had farms so I have done feeding and cleaning for goats, cows, sheep, and chickens. I work full-time during the week; however, potential drop-ins after 5:30 pm could work for me. Depending on my schedule, I may have flexibility and this can be discussed. Weekends are more likely the best time for me to care for your fur/scale/feather baby needs. For drop-in services I will ensure your fur/scale/feather baby and residence are well cared for. This includes making sure your fur baby is fed, has water, and toileting needs are accounted for. Additionally, I will play with your fur/scale/feather baby and ensure all of your provided instructions are serviced in my time or times there.
“Very responsive, punctual, great with our dog Jett (even when he is sometimes stubborn and won’t go back into his crate), sends great photos, and is very patient. Will definitely request her services again”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, dogs, rabbits- you name it, since I was pretty young. My dad was in veterinary care so I know how to tend to animals who aren’t doing too well. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, trim nails, train and bathe their pets. I am currently able to house sit any day of the week. I am available for dog (or cat) walking any day from 12:00pm to 10:00pm. I would appreciate getting a 48 hour notice in advance. I love keeping your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible! I’ll follow all of your instructions, from meal times and walks to favorite toys, nap spots, and those little quirks that make your pup unique. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat them like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and fun!
“Payton and her dad were fantastic and flexible sitters for my dog! Payton was very responsive, very prompt, and very flexible with pick-up locations.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Guilford
Xuan is absolutely phenomenal! She is kind, dependable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. From our very first interaction, she put me at ease. Her communication is excellent, and I appreciate the patience and attention she gives Winslow. It’s such a relief knowing he is in good hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker. I highly recommend Xuan!
She is absolutely amazing! My dog requires a lot of patience, understanding, and extra care, but she always goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She never rushes him, always respects his pace, and somehow manages to make every walk a success. I truly feel that my dog is so lucky to have her in his life. I’m incredibly grateful for her kindness, dedication, and genuine care. I can’t thank her enough!
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!

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 Guilford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
