“Becky M. Did a phenomenal job caring for my puppy. She walked him, fed him, and spent time playing with him. She took wonderful pictures and he was obviously happy.”
About: I work in a dog kennel, where I have been trained in CPR, breaking up dog fights, how to read body language and cues! I also work in a vet clinic where I have learned fundamental animal care tasks such as administering medication, walking pets, and feeding tasks. Dog walking fits well in my schedule because I have time to walk in between my working hours, and can always walk on the weekends and in the evenings. I treat all pets with the utmost respect, understanding that they are very important members of our families. I treat every pet like my own. When walking dogs, I make sure I am interactive with them, and monitoring them to make sure they are not overdoing it!
“Margus was awesome with my boys and saved me during a last minute out of town trip. My 2 dogs were very well cared for on their walks I can tell they had a great time through all the pictures and feedback provided. My boys are on the younger side and have very different walking styles so it can cause for some interesting experiences with them and Margus handled them extremely well and I came home to some very happy and tired pups.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since 2019, working with pets of various breeds, sizes, and ages. Over the years, I have provided reliable and attentive care for pets belonging to family members and close family friends. Throughout this I have gained hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, and playtime. I enjoy staying active and going on walks, especially with a four-legged friend by my side! As a current law student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I’m also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I have an open backyard at home that provides space for safe outdoor time. However, I’m also happy and prefer to provide care in your home, ensuring your pet stays in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure.
About: Hello, we are the Shapiros and throughout our whole life we have always loved, and owned, dogs. We have two of my own right now Our family lives on 1/2 an acre. The backyard takes up most of that, including a 6' privacy fence. Our floors are carpeted, though if any pet has an accident we are willing to clean it. We are trustworthy, kind, flexible, and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that while you go on a vacation away for the night, or even just have a little "me" time that your pet is safe, and being treated as well as you would treat them if you were home. We have sat for several family members and friends in the past, even as a young teen. Whenever we have little get-togethers with other family and friends we encourage them to bring their pets. They can always roam free through the yard, and if needed a dip in the pool. We can promise that while staying with us, your kiddo will be taken care of as if you never left. It is important to be able to trust someone enough to take care of a family member, and I can promise that I will be able to do the job. I hope to meet some furry-faces soon!

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, including a German Shepherd and a Harrier, I understand that every dog has their own needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy dogs, going on longer walks and outdoor adventures, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and take safety seriously, whether that means keeping a close eye on a dog’s behavior, following specific care instructions, or adjusting to what makes an individual dog most comfortable. I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and respect I’d want someone to give my own dogs I’m currently working full time as an EMT with rotating week days and weekends. This means I’d have plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention and exercise needed on my days off. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re trusting to care for your pets, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I treat every animal like I would my own and take the time to learn their normal routine, personality, boundaries, likes and dislikes, and any special instructions you provide. I’m patient with pets that may need a little extra time to warm up, and I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I’m never putting them in a situation they’re uncomfortable with. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I’ll keep you updated and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Point
I had the dog walker come by for an initial walk with my dog, Bentley, ahead of a longer stay and I’m so glad I did. They arrived right on time, sent thoughtful photo updates, and gave a detailed report after the walk, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, Bentley clearly felt comfortable and cared for…he was actually sad to see them go! That alone told me everything I needed to know. This quick intro gave me so much peace of mind, and I now feel confident he’ll be in great hands during his upcoming daycare and extended stay. Highly recommend!

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.
