“I can't say enough good things about Molly, not only as our dog walker but also as a person. She's considerate, caring, transparent and reliable. She loves our dog and he loves her. Molly has come thru for us last minute and we're so greatful to have her!!”
“AMAZING! Great communication, my pup loves seeing her and spending time with her and she keeps him fresh on his skills!! It's so great to have found a fellow puppy raiser-- even though Potter is no longer in training, Bridget was easily able to pick up on his foundational skills and knowledge without me telling her and it's great for Potter to be able to practice and use some of that, even if it's just to work his brain and tire him out a little more!”
“Jennifer is an excellent and reliable individual to hire for all your pet walking and sitting needs! Always on time, responds to messages quickly, and puts in the extra work to show care for animals above and beyond a walk.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats on different occasions for my neighbors and family members many times since I was a kid. I have taken care of them for multiple weeks while their families have been out of town. I'm currently a full-time college student at UBalt. I will ensure to keep all doors locked at all times and I will watch the pets with great attention. I will take great care of your home and leave it in the condition I arrived in.
About: My own senior dog is a rescue who has had special needs throughout her life, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and really paying attention to what an animal is communicating. I’ve learned to recognize their needs and boundaries and understand that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family over the years, and one of the best compliments I hear is, “Our pet seems to really love you!” I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I treat every pet as an individual and give them the patience, attention, and affection they need. I am available for pet sitting, drop-ins or walks around my work schedule - my shifts are between 6-8 hrs Mon-Fri, so your pet will never have to wait too long for me to get back for a walk, feeding, or play time :) Weekends are typically more open and flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having cared for my own rescue dog with special needs for many years, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. I want every pet in my care to feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and communicate with you so you know how things are going while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Mya. I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I absolutely love and adore my pets Tyson and Bella my Lab/Pit mixes. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Monday through Friday, I work from home, so I'm always accessible. Every morning, I take my dogs for a walk, and stop frequently throughout the day to use the restroom. Your pet will receive excellent care and will never be left alone for no longer than a few hours. I find that dogs who are generally apprehensive about being in a new situation struggle to adjust. The amount of activity inside our house might be a little too much for the animal, so if it's feasible, I'd want to arrange a meet and greet to make sure all animals get along. Any and all animals who get booked to board inside of our home should be home broken. Please refrain from bringing in any pets that like to mark their territory near the residence.
About: I’ve lived with pets since I was a baby. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from babies to seniors, and I also have experience with most exotic pets! I’m available all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, and every other day I’m available after 2 pm. I’d be more than happy to check on/walk your pet during those times! I carefully follow any directions I’m given. I know it can make people nervous to leave their pets in a stranger’s care, but I will make sure to care for your pet just like you would.

“Lady was wonderful! She came over to meet our dogs before walking them the first time and they loved her. Lady was great about keeping us posted on their walks (including sending lots of pictures) and was super responsive. We will definitely be asking her to walk the dogs again!”
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. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including dogs and other animals, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Those experiences taught me how to understand different pet personalities, needs, and routines from an early age. My family has a 7-year-old Cavapoo named Bentley, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking paths and open green spaces nearby, giving dogs lots of opportunities for exercise, exploration, and fresh air. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. My healthcare background has taught me to be observant, dependable, and detail-oriented, which is especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, following special routines, administering medications, or recognizing changes in behavior. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their dogs feel happy, safe, and loved during their stay. 🐾❤️ Caring for fur babies naturally fits into my daily routine. As a nurse, I am flexible with plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. On the days I am home, dogs receive regular walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks, cleaning cages, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for long periods and continue to receive supervision, care, and interaction. My dog, Bentley is family, so daily walks, feeding schedules, exercise, and cuddle time are already built into my routine. I live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with nearby green spaces, making it easy to provide multiple walks and opportunities for exercise each day. I enjoy maintaining a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and at home while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I tailor my approach to each dog's temperament whether they are energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or prefer a calm and relaxed environment.
“Shannon was prompt, kind, professional, and competent. She listened to the complicated care information well and handled things great while I wasn’t even in person with her. Will book again!”
“Melody was great walking my dog while I was away on vacation. She treated my pup like her own and kept me updated constantly so I didn't have any reason to worry. Im looking forward to booking her again in the future.”
About: With pets of my own, I know how important it is to make sure that they have the best love and care while you are away/busy. I have over 10+ years of pet care and handling experience, and have worked with a wide range of animals (house pets-farm animals). I have experience with senior and special needs pets, and I have no problem with multi-pet homes. I believe in taking the time to understand your pet and their needs to make them fully comfortable during our time together! 💙💙💙 I’m currently doing pet care full-time, and have plenty of flexibility with my schedule. I understand that some pets have strict routines due to medication administration/potty routines they rely on, and other pets are more versatile- I have no problem accommodating either kind and enjoy doing both! I like to ask questions or have a detailed outline of any safety concerns or particular way of caring for a pet. Each pet and owner are different, and I think tailoring each experience to fit the needs of the pet and owner provides the best results!
About: Hi there, I’m Gaby! I’ve had 2 dogs in my home since I can remember and have been a cat mom since 2024. My family has adopted each of our dogs from rescue shelters and I got my fur baby from BARCS. I love to meet new animals, play with fur babies, and give all the loving possible. I am always up for play time, a walk, or cuddles if needed! With hybrid work availability I would love to help care for any animals that may need some extra assistance while you’re working or away for the day/weekend. I am available most days/nights and almost every weekend if necessary throughout the summer. I am open to stopping by, walks and other activities. Often free on weekends and early mornings for extra walks and cuddles. Maintaining their routine and whatever is most helpful to their needs. Follow schedule if so. I am often working from home and available. Let the animal acclimate, lots of cuddles (or personal space), walks around the neighborhood. Make sure it is comfortable for the pup and their needs
About: My name is Katherin, I am dedicated and I have over six years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, I know how to adjust my care to meet their unique needs. I’m experienced in training basic commands and offering behavior reinforcement, helping your dog feel more confident and well behaved during their time with me. I also have experience with special needs dogs, including those with medical conditions or mobility challenges, and I am comfortable administering medications or providing extra support for senior dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet relaxation, I ensure that each dog gets the right mix of exercise, attention, and comfort. I will stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime as much as possible. Consistent care helps them feel more comfortable and reduces anxiety. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment. I ensure they have their own space to relax and rest, and I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and training sessions, and I make sure they are fed according to their owner’s instructions. I also offer constant supervision, ensuring that they are never left alone for long periods, and I give them lots of love and attention throughout the day. I keep a clean and pet-friendly environment, ensuring that all areas are safe for the pets I care for. I
“Danika did great walking Spunky. She kept a brisk pace to keep my dog active but she also stopped to let Spunky sniff and smell things. Spunky is very happy and comfortable with Danika which isn’t always the case because my dog is a rescue pup. Danika arrived on time and is very professional, I will be using her services again in the future.”

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 Middle River. 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.

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.

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.
