“She is always on time and great with my dog and cat. She has learned their habits over time and Taylor's her walk to their needs. I love her pet side manner. Shes great!!!”

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 5yrs old. I've recently raised and trained 2 of my own dogs from the ages of 4 and 5 weeks. They are now 5 years old, pit mix Quilt and a 3 year old Staff, Boxer, Lab, pit mix Ramses. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs of all sizes from petite to large breeds. Having my own pets, I plan my day around them and my daily responsibilities. When taking care of other people's pets I handle them with the same if not more care than mine. I will go over the care instructions of what makes the customer must comfortable and have them show me all their do and don'ts. I have several years of handling my own and friends and family pets. So there isn't much I have not seen, done or experienced.
“This was our second time using Katherine and she did another fantastic job! I felt comfortable knowing she was watching our boy and he obviously loves her! She sent great updates and photos and would definitely use her again!”

“Lynnette is absolutely wonderful! My puppy immediately bonded with her, which made it much more comfortable for me to travel and leave the puppy home under Lynnette’s care. Would 100% recommend for anyone who’s planning to go on an extended trip!”

“Michelle understands how to work with dogs, even large lively ones. She’s professional, reliable, and communicative. She is also so affectionate with our dog, which meant a lot to us (and him). Highly recommend Michelle!”

“Carmen is wonderful with our dog, dependable, and always caring and attentive. I really appreciate the peace of mind she provides and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. I have experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding them, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents about their pets’ routines and work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started out by helping neighbors take care of their cats and dogs, and over the years that love grew into rescuing and caring for animals of my own. I’ve shared my life with both a cat and a dog with special needs, and I even helped raise an abandoned baby squirrel. I’m a biologist by training, and through my work I’ve also cared for rabbits, providing gentle pre- and post-surgery support. I’ve previously provided cats and dogs care with a company called Pet Nanny and was certified through Pet Sitters International. I especially enjoy walking small and medium-sized dogs and always make sure each walk is filled with patience, attention, and lots of love. After my job ended in September due to a reduction in force, I decided to follow my heart and focus on animal care full time, beginning with dog walking from 11am-10pm. I also except dogs day care. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first. I walk with full attention to my surroundings and to what your dog needs in the moment. We take our time so they can do their business, enjoy plenty of sniffing and “reading messages,” stretch their legs, and truly enjoy the walk before heading home. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and will always keep you updated about anything special, unusual, or urgent that comes up.

About: Hi! I'm Darling, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. While I'm new to Rover, I've always loved spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'm responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels comfortable and receives the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or plenty of playtime, I'm happy to work around their routine. I believe consistency is important, so I'll follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and at ease. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines. I always keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I've walked dogs as a volunteer as well as administered medication. Those skills taught me patience and understanding while scooping and entertaining the animals. That's it. I'll have plenty of time to play with puppies and dogs. Which will be a good way to support them and make sure they get the loving care they need. I have a regular home that has cats in it and it is a safe place for animals in general. That's about it for that detail.

“Melissa is wonderful! I have used her services twice. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. She is attentive and makes sure to check my dog’s water bowl. She sends me great pictures of their walks together. She gave me great peace of mind!”


About: When dogs come to stay with me they never want to go home. I love caring for dogs. When they stay with me they get so much attention and walks and playtime with other dogs. Your dog will have a blast. They will sleep with me in my room. They will go on adventures with me like going for a walk in the woods or just a nice stroll in the neighborhood. I am the best dog sitter there is. I am mostly home with my 1 year old. I step out when i have other dog jobs but when i am out my mom is here with my 1 year old. So there is mostly someone here all the time unless i am out with him. I do live in a apartment on the 3rd floor but that doesnt keep me from taking my dog clients out if they need to go out alot. I do have a balcony too.
About: Hello, I started to care for dogs other than mine when I started babysitting for children years ago. I really enjoy it. I am available during the day until 5pm most days. If you need later just request or ask and ill let you know if i can on the days you need. I am excited to meet new dogs, and be able to help fellow owners who need a hand making sure their dogs are taken care of. I really love dogs and hope to be a good fit in this community. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I know these dogs are precious to you and I will my best to keep them on their schedule. I work nights so I’m usually available during the day. This fits for me because I want to be more active during the day. I cant wait to meet your dog! Depends on the pet parents. Some pet parents leave their dogs out. I try to make sure they have some water on warmer days. If they are crated, then I crate them before I leave. I make sure the home is closed when I leave for a walk and when I leave for the day.

About: At little bit about me, I am a graduate student studying occupational therapy and finishing in December. I have dog walked and house sat animals for the past 15 years and absolutely love it!. I have been lucky enough to grow up with a dog until recently I rescued a puppy of my own:) She is very playful, high energy, and loving so I understand the importance of good walk and exercise! I feel that a happy and behaved dog is a well exercised dog which is why I would love the opportunity to play and tire your dog out! I have high standards for my dog so I hold the same standards of myself shen taking care of orher's dogs. I am very reliable, timely, and hard working so I will always give your dog my undivided attention whenever I am with him/her! I love animals and cannot imagine my life without them! When I am out I am always worrying about my dog being alone, so I want to give you the peace of mind not worry about the care I am providing. Look forward to meeting you and your sweet pup!

We’ve had such a great experience with Oyindamola! She walked our dog today and was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which we really appreciated. She’s been reliable, kind, and easy to work with, and our dog seems very happy after each walk. We’re grateful to have found her and are looking forward to booking many more walks in the future!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Laytonsville is $30 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 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 Laytonsville. 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 Laytonsville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
