“Ela is a kind, compassionate, and dedicated addition to my dogs care team! Ela excels at communicating with myself and my dog (Toad) so I always know how he's doing and trust she'll be taking care of his needs. This is the first dog walker I've ever hired, such a great experience to start with. I plan on having Ela be a long term walker for Toad.”

“Mariah was able to help me out last minute with walking my puppy Maya for me when I was in a bind & I’m so glad she could & that we got to meet her because she has a great energy & now we have someone close to home to call on! You can definitely tell that Mariah is very comfortable with animals upon meeting her & it was only further confirmed by the fact that If was completely evident afterwards too that my pup really had a ball with her on their walk together ! We look forward to having Mariah visit again soon! Thanks so much again Mariah!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over five years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was the proud owner of a Great Dane for three years who reached her senior years in my care. At nearly 145 lbs and living with severe arthritis and mobility challenges, she taught me the patience, attentiveness, and extra care that senior and giant-breed dogs can require. I’m very comfortable with large dogs and understand when they need a slower pace, extra assistance, and plenty of patience. I currently have a happy, energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m equally comfortable with younger, high-energy dogs who love walks and playtime! I’m also a devoted cat mom to my 3-year-old rescue cat, whom I adopted at just 12 weeks old. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I’ll always treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Hi! I’m Claudia, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom. I work from home full-time as a Project Manager, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. I’m also an early riser and typically start my mornings with a workout class, so early morning walks and visits are no problem! My flexible routine allows me to provide dependable, attentive care while working around your pet’s normal schedule. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

I am currently a stay at home mom for the next 4-5 years, so I have more than enough free time on my hands at the moment. I have a huge fenced park right behind my apartments so they are able to play all day as needed. In addition to the park, I have a ton of space in my apartment and a friendly dog of my own who loves to play. I have a variety of dog/cat treats and toys!

About: My name is Emilio, and I’m an MMA instructor who is responsible, active, patient, and comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels. My family and I have 1 dog , a German Shepherd and Pit Bull mix, along with a cat that we originally fostered and eventually adopted. We got the both of them around four years ago, so I have years of hands-on experience feeding, walking, playing with, supervising, and caring for both dogs and cats. Being an MMA instructor has also taught me patience, awareness, consistency, and how to stay calm and attentive, which I bring into caring for every pet. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, including many afternoons and evenings. I’m also open to weekend care and can work with pet owners to keep their pets on their normal routine. I have years of experience caring for my own pets, so I’m comfortable around different personalities and energy levels. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are secure and I’ll keep owners updated so they know their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hello there! I am Sam! What makes me a good canadate to watch your furry family member? Well, in my family there has been an animal companion for as long as I can remember. We have had dogs, gerbils, and fish! I have even been described as having potential to become a crazy cat lady. I have had my fair share of exsperience with older dogs who need special care as my own dog was blind the last couple years of her life and I have the rudimentarys of training dogs as I trainded both my blind dog and my current dog sit, down, stay, come, paw, spin, leave-it, and the like. Above all I look forward to spending time with some new furry friends. Currently, I am working part time and I have my own dog, Stormy. So, I am used to the daily tasks of animal care and adding your pet into the mix would'nt change much! On days where I don't work I stay home or have the ablity to take my dog to the dog park or for a long walk. On days I do work I'm gone for no more than six hours. I live in an apartment but I have a big safe neighborhood to walk your dog in as well as a dog park very close by for even more play. I have my own dog, Stormy to keep your dog company on walks or at home. I also have the ability to crate my dog wether the two need some space or they don't mix well. A safe enviroment is my top priority.

About: I have always had dogs in my life, both big and small. Since high school, I have pet sat for friends, neighbors, and family. Last summer, I regularly cared for a French bulldog puppy, which gave me hands on experience with younger dogs. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets! I have recently graduated from Towson University with my bachelors in Environmental Science. I am also volunteering with Phoenix Wildlife center on Tuesdays while I search for a job! I have time during the week to fill and would love to drop in, walk, or board your pets! I live with my mom, sister, and stepdad but I am the primary care taker. We have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of love to give! I am also a reptile owner and keep a Plated lizard in a secure enclosure in my room, so I am comfortable with unique pets. When sitting in a client's home, I am highly respectful of your space, and my attention goes entirely to keeping your pet happy and safe. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Joppa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Joppa on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,200 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Joppa. 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 Joppa. 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 Joppa.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Joppa. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
