“Hailey did a great job and was wonderful to work with! She was super helpful in coordinating the right kind of walk/drop in visit that we needed. She asked lots of questions during our meet and greet and was very patient when we were running late. Ella had a great time and and Hailey made sure to send lots of pictures and communicate during the visit as well! Would definitely recommend and use her again!!”
“Obuchi was great! She was communicative and was available last minute when another dog walker cancelled on me. She made sure he was happy and able to get his energy out both days. When there was an issue with the water fountain that my pets used she solved and made sure they were well taken care of. Thank you!”

With a nurturing touch and a keen eye for details, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a student, I’ve organized my schedule to make plenty of time for pet care. Caring for animals is a wonderful way to balance my studies with something I’m passionate about.

About: Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life—I was always the one begging my parents to take in every stray I found 🐾 I’m currently a nursing student, so I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and focused on safety. I also have a prior military background, which has taught me discipline, reliability, and consistency in everything I do. I’m very active and love running, so I’m great for high-energy dogs who need walks and exercise, while also being calm and patient with cats and more relaxed pets. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention, and keeping you updated with pictures so you always know your pet is happy and safe. My schedule varies with school during the week, but I’m available outside of those days, along with mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I also have occasional required skills hours, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs 🐾 During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care based on their personality—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company. I always prioritize safety by ensuring secure leashing, clean water, and a safe environment before leaving. I also provide regular updates with pictures so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away 🥰
About: Hi I am an illustrator from Washington D.C. I am a former graphic designers and Production Specialist at the Washington Navy Yard. I also have five years dog waking experience which began In 2014 during my college spring break. I have worked off an on as a dog walker since then. I am a relaxed dog walker who does not get frustrated with extremely hyper dogs. I am also pretty big so I will not be pulled and yanked around by rambunctious pups. I am pretty accommodating to the needs of the owners. If you prefer your dog walked solo that can be arranged. I have been doing this a long time so I’m am used to being around dogs and look forward to walking your family member.

I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to go on long walks, play, and keep energetic dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m patient and calm, which helps dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your dog wants an adventure or just a companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be exactly what they need. As a recent college grad, I currently have a very flexible schedule, and I am taking some time during the summer before starting the next chapter of my career pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being outdoors whether it’s going for walks playing or simply keeping a pet company care for animals is something I find rewarding and look forward to. When caring for pets, I like to follow the routine they are already used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I thrive with structure, so I appreciate clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications for feeding, or any special needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, my goal is to be present, attentive, and give them the care they need.

Dogs truly have my heart! 🐾❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether it's a naturally playful puppy, or one who needs a little extra encouragement or a senior dog who enjoys a slower pace and gentle care, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm also reliable, detail oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents informed and reassured. For me, pet sitting isn't just a job; it's something I genuinely enjoy! 🐾🐶❤️ I'm currently taking a little break from my regular work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! 🐾❤️ I love filling my days with walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship, making sure each pet feels happy, loved, and well cared for.

“Karen was very sweet with my dog and made sure he had some play time with his walks. She was great about staying in touch with me and sharing updates from her visits.”
“Oluwaseun is such a wonderful dog walker! I will definitely use her again! She went far and above the walking responsibilities. She communicated before arrival and completion, sending cool photos of what my dog Ralph experienced on his walk.💗💗 She was attentive to all the details of what my dog needed. I felt so at ease having her walk my senior dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike, for over 10 years now. Including 4 my own dogs, friends’ dogs and plenty of cats for my surrounding family. I have cared for extended visits on puppies and seniors alike as well. I’m out for the summer so I am available anytime all the time to be over and tend to your dogs. Available all days of the week after Noon. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of the family. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-safe environment free from hazards, with secure areas for rest, play, and feeding. I follow the owner’s routines closely whether it’s walk times, special diets, or medications and always provide fresh water, love, and supervision. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and stress-free while they’re away
About: I have had 3 years of experience with mostly dogs. Not including the 10 dogs I grew up with. Can give baths, walks, meditation and I am very structural with meals and bed times. Im new to rover but am very curious and excited. I love all furry Babies; young, old, sick, or healthy they’ll receive care and attention. I’m a full time student and i am available most dates, but just let me know 48 hours before. Weekends are Guaranteed for my availability. Big back yard but not fenced. Surrounded by open fields but am quite a distance from any busy roads. Pet proofed from and clean from any small objects your pets might find interesting.
About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.
About: For the past ten years, I have adopted and taken care of different senior rescue dogs. And puppies alike. I have been the primary dog watcher for my extended family and friends for many years. I love all dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities and I'm sure I'll love yours as well!! 😁 I'm currently working a full time job. However I work very close to home. I can walk your dog in the morning late afternoon and night before bed and always try for 3 walks a day. If you would rather I house sit your dog I can stay at your place and watch your furry friend there. I can also just come to you and walk your dog on the weekends. Let's get your dog the care they need!! 😁 I have an apartment which I own and am comfortable with your dog going anywhere they would like. While I prefer to let dogs roam my space and be at ease. I can crate them if you would prefer. If I house sat at your place I would follow your instructions and normal house rules to the letter.
About: I have owned different breeds of dogs over the last 10+ years. I am highly experienced in training, walking, feeding, bathing, playing with dogs, etc. I have a mature, friendly 6 year old beagle of my own who loves to meet new friends and enjoys company! I am home 7 days of the week and do school virtually, so I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I walk my pets multiple times daily around College Park, MD where they receive lots of attention, I also have a fenced in play area attached to my living space. I work from home/do school virtually, so I am home 7 days out of the week! I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I have a fenced in play area where other dogs also play attached to my living space, I walk my pets multiple times daily, exploring new places and pretty sights! I have roommates who also assist in supervising pets under my care, when I have to run out for errands. Pets are always supervised!

This was our first time having someone take Penny for her walks and Marina made it easy for us to feel comfortable about it! She was professional and Penny loved her! And we loved getting the Rover cards and pictures. Highly recommend Marina to care for your pets!!!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hillandale is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $37 per walk.

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 Hillandale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hillandale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Hillandale. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
