About: I'm an empty nester specializing in large breed dog care (along with everything in between❤️) I offer early morning, late night, and weekend availability and lots of flexibility. I have over 20 years of regular early morning walks with my own dogs and my clients’ pets. I understand and value the importance of being outside with our best friends. Our pets are part of our family and would treat yours the same. I currently have two Shiloh Shepherds, Echo and Arya, along with my “Granddog”, Zorah, a Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix, with all three of them weighing over 100 pounds. I treat them with the best care and travel with them whenever I can. I have a home in the woods with 13 acres along the Monocacy River. It is a dog heaven for our pets where we hike, walk, and play in the water and in our the woods every day. I have cared for my own family dogs for the past 21 years, with my first dog being a German Shepherd. They are a blessing to our family just as yours is to you!! I am attentive, flexible, and consistent, making me a confident dog (and cat) handler. Having confidence as a pet care provider allows me work with you to love and care for your pets so that when you need to be away from home, they are still peaceful, safe, and well-loved. I have a totally flexible schedule that allows me to housesit and do daily drops ins and walks throughout the day, week, and weekends. I’m an experienced dog walker walker with a regular pet schedule that allows me to work around your needs. I can handle any size dog and any age pets. I’m reliable to adhere to your pet’s need and schedule. I know the importance of being outside every day and of providing a consistent and enhanced life experience for our pets.
About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am currently on summer break from graduate school, but I take five- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.
“We are so grateful to have found Shelby! It's such a relief to know that my pup is getting exercise and attention while I am at work all day. I highly recommend Shelby!”
“Misty is fantastic. Caring about your pup…treats like her own. On time, just wonderful to work with, and my dog never looked back as he went out the door. Instantly knew he was loved.”
About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.
“She is the BEST!! Can't imagine what could have done without her in this weather. Every morning Chico waits for her. She is always on time and flexible. We love her!!”
“Excellent service. Very personable at meet and greet. The puppies warmed up to her quickly. She was punctual and did a great job walking both dogs. Will use her services again.”
“Jessie has been wonderful with our pup Sadie. She is a great communicator and texts updates if there are any changes to the schedule. It’s fun to see all the pictures she adds to the daily report. We appreciate all she does for Sadie.”
About: I started dog sitting for neighbors when I was in middle school and now I’m in my forties so that’s a few decades of experience! I’m a teacher looking to make some money over summer break, but I also want to pet and cuddle as many dogs and cats as possible while I’m at it. I will love your pets as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet them! (I also have four cats and two dogs of my own.) I’m a teacher on summer break, so my availability is wide open! Happy to stop by as many times as needed to take care of your furbabies. My dogs are young golden retrievers, so I’m quite familiar and comfortable with high energy pups. I’m extra cautious about hot asphalt on sunny summer days, and I’ll try my best to ensure your pup doesn’t use your neighbors lawn as a potty! I will take my time with your pets and get to know them so that they will hopefully be as happy to see me as I am to see them! I won’t just rush in and out, I’ll give them some extra pets and hugs and make sure they know that they’re the best boy/ girl in the world!
“Connie regularly walks my Golden Retriever, Henry. She is absolutely incredible! After every walk I receive adorable pictures, and a detailed review of how their experience was. While it is always hard to leave Henry in the morning, it is refreshing to know that Connie will be dropping by to give him the same love that we would. We trust her very much- she has been a life saver! Highly recommend!”
About: As the go-to person for friends in need of dog-sitting, I recently figured "Why not expand?", hence my decision to register with Rover. Setting dogs and their people at ease brings me joy! I've had two dogs over the past 20 years: one slightly demonic and requiring special precautions, and the other a big, gentle galoot. Both absolutely stole my heart. I work from home and am available for walking (give me allll the exercise) and sitting (give me allll the cuddles). I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm around to give attention as needed, 7 days/week. I'm an early riser (6:30 give or take), so early walks or breakfasts would be no problem. I have a fenced yard that would be secure for all but the most accomplished escape artists. Your pet would have full access to all parts of the house (including furniture). That said, if crating, furniture restrictions, etc. work better for you and your dog, I would happily honor your typical rules and routines.
About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I have a hybrid work schedule and very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. Typically, I am available throughout the day Wednesday through Sundays. I am out of the house 8 am - 2 pm on Monday and Tuesdays. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.
About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I currently only have weekend availability due to recent return to office - happy to help during the week if your dog is used to an 8 hour day normally. Please reach out to see if it is something we can accommodate and you are comfortable with. Most days I will be able to get them out for a bathroom break around lunchtime. I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ijamsville
Taylor did a great job watching our Cavapoo Lucy. She took her out, played with her, took pictures and kept us updated. Lucy seemed happy and content every evening I came home and I’m so thankful for Taylor. She eased my mind while I was at work knowing that Lucy was in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ijamsville on Rover is $27.75 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 8,149 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ijamsville. 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 Ijamsville. 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 Ijamsville.

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 Ijamsville. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
