“I had something come up & I needed help with getting my dog walked on very short notice & with all her amazing reviews I figured the likelihood of getting Ela’s help so last minute was really slim, but lucky me she answered my request in minutes & generously came right away to help - ON A HOLIDAY, no less. You can tell right away upon meeting her that Ela is completely at ease with dogs & the same in return. & Even though our interaction tonight was brief it was clearly evident how professional Ela is & how serious she is about providing great care. My pup was super comfortable & acted as if she walked her everyday at first greeting & she came home well excercised & very happy. I immediately rebooked with Ela for another walk & I really look forward to working with her in the future... & I’m sure my pup will too! THANK YOU SO MUCH ELA!?”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have had the pleasure of raising and personally training three wonderful dogs. Most recently, I said goodbye to my beloved Springer Spaniel after 16 amazing years together, so I understand just how much our dogs mean to us. They’re not just pets — they’re family! I’m an active, outdoors-loving person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk, a long hike through the woods, a run for a more energetic companion, or simply relaxing at home, I’m happiest with a four-legged friend by my side. Having cared for dogs throughout their lives, from energetic youngsters to senior companions, I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, confident handling dogs, and a big believer in positive reinforcement, consistency, and plenty of affection.

I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits.

About: As a nurse, caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of attention, patience, and responsibility to every pet in my care. I work only 2–4 days a week, and there is always an attentive family member at home, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day.

About: Animals are an integral part of my life. In addition to pet sitting, I have three dogs & two cats of my own and I foster for Coffee & Paws Rescue, Inc.

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 Joppa. 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 Joppa 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.

- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
