About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was a child for friends, neighbors, and family. I also have 10+ years of experience working in an animal hospital and I am comfortable with administering medical treatment when needed. I am relatively new to the area with an open schedule during the day that allows me to spend plenty of time getting to know your companion animals. Safety is a priority for me so I make sure to follow your specifications pertaining to your animal. No two animals are alike and I will ensure that I follow your guidelines on what is right for you and your pet.
“This is the sitter you want. I cannot ask for a better one. Is super flexible and kind hearted. Can really tell she enjoys the dogs and isn't actually doing it for the money. My boy always comes home so well taken care of.”
About: I have grown up with pets, dogs specifically my entire life! I love dogs of all ages, all shapes and sizes! Having an animal companion to spend time with is some of the best company you can ever have! In my family I have helped raise/train puppies, we have also fostered in my household, and I have taken care of animals for friends and family. I am a very active person, I teach phy ed, so I love getting out for walks or runs. I am a teacher, so during the summer my hours are pretty flexible. I do have to teach summer school in the mornings for a short period of time, but then I am available for mid morning or lunch time pet breaks! Making sure all animals are safe and well taken care of is very important to me. Following instructions on how a dog best responds is very critical. Dogs are animals of habit when trained, so I want to continue to follow routines and expectations that their owner has. In my full time job I am trusted with children and I understand that for many people, pets are loved just as much as a child.
“Erin was prompt and on time for the visits, and we felt comfortable having her walk Iris. We appreciated the visit updates and pictures! We’ve already booked Erin for more future visits!”
“Amme does a great job scheduling times and walking my dog each week. Willie gets a full walk and Amme really cares about my dog. She’s very kind and caring and goes the extra mile on every visit! Thank you so much for spending time with my best friend when I’m not able to. I feel so much better each time that he is getting the attention he needs and deserves and Amme provides that each and every time.”
About: I have owned a few pets over the course of my life and have learned I need them as much as they need us. It’s a pawfect life with a dog. I’m currently working part-time and would welcome the time spent with your pet. Hugs and cuddles are always welcomed! Love walking and playing with all pets, or relaxing with those that are less active. I have a fenced in yard, we play fetch and work on teaching tricks and having lots of fun. Dog parks are also nearby for additional exercise.
About: Growing up I have always had a pet. I have had a family dog for as long as I can remember and have had 3 cats. I love them all! I currently have a 2 King Charles Spaniels. We are active and love hiking and long walks, but also love being lazy on the couch sometimes. I help care for my family’s and friend’s pets often and am someone they can always rely on. I am a nurse and my work schedule changes each week, but the days I am not working I am usually available! I would love to help on my days off. I live in a house with a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys to play with! Depending on your pet’s needs I can offer frequent potty breaks, timed feeding based on their normal schedule, long walks, and car rides if they like! Let me know how I can make your fur baby feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life family and friends pets and enjoy playing and taking care of them when needed love dogs of all sizes I’m currently working full time but love animals and helping with them where I can. Going on walks or just throwing a ball around I can do it all. Whether your fur baby likes to lounge around or be active I enjoy both and with 3 children at home keeping track and cleaning up after them is a regular past time of mine.
“Melanie has been great with all my pets! I have a dog that she let's out and walks, which she does so well, but I also have two smaller pets that she gives love to when she stops in as well! She sends many pictures and leaves informative comments! I plan on being a returning customer of Melanie for as long as I can, she is great and I 100% recommend!!”
About: I have always had dogs/cats in my house and have good experience pet sitting for others and would love to help out more people with their fur babies I am currently on break from school so I have a very flexible schedule and only work part time at the moment. I care for my own pets currently as well and would not at all mind adding more into my routine I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs as well as a kitten to keep your pet in good company. The cat can be separated upstairs in its own space if needed
“Meg is amazing!!! She has been a total life saver. I work long hours in the health care field and she has been walking Benny everyday during the week . She comes between 11:00-1:00 everyday. Benny loves her! He is a much happier dog with a way better quality of life. Her training experience has made a difference. I notice he walks better on his leash with me and my son since Meg has been walking him too. I would highly recommend Meg.”
About: I love dogs and am excited to start this new journey. I’ve had a dog for the majority of my life and while I am not in a place to have a dog of my own right now I am happy to help take care of yours I am a nurse working night shift looking to take care of dogs on my days off. My schedule varies week to week but I can be flexible I have a mostly fenced in yard with a decent amount of space for your dog to play in. I live near a park that is great for walks. I am also willing to bathe your dog if necessary.
“Jenny was great! This was my first time using Rover. Jenny did an hour walk with my boxer and she was really good at communicating and sent some pictures. I trust Jenny and will definitely be going back.”
About: I have two French Bulldogs, Louie and Rufus and often dog sit for my siblings. I enjoy being outside and taking dogs for a walk. Retired, which leaves me with lots of free time. I enjoy spending time with my two dogs, Louie and Rufus and my 8 year old grandson. I will happily walk your dog(s) and/or drop in for a play date. I care deeply for dogs and am safe and responsible at all times.
About: I have owned 6 dogs, 1 cat (family pets), a bearded dragon and 4 hamsters throughout my lifetime. I have also cared for other small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, leopard geckos, and more! I am consistently doing research on a variety of animals (even ones I never plan to own) because I liked to be informed about all different types of care. I am mostly available in the afternoons as I am a college student and part-time employee with two businesses. However, I am available in the early(ish) mornings on select days. Given enough notice I can make myself more available and work around my class and work schedules. I am very thorough when it comes to animal care. I research immensely when it comes to new species, and I follow directions carefully to ensure everything is done properly. I know how much my animals mean to me, which means other peoples animals mean just as much to them.
About: I’ve watched other pets for years and am always open and eager to care for many more! I love taking walks and always look forward to caring for dogs when I get the chance. I work from 3-6:30 every other week and weekends but am free every morning and evening! I have pretty much an open schedule ! 😊 I have an open yard and two friendly dachshunds named Lambeau and Jordy as well as a bunny named Dapper! I always watch when they go outside and make sure they have a clean/comfortable space to eat and sleep.

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 Howard. 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 Howard.

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 Howard. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
