About: I grew up with Rottweilers and have always loved dogs of all breeds and sizes. My most recent pet was a sweet Shih Tzu who needed a little extra tender care, which taught me the importance of patience and gentle attention. Cuddling is truly my favorite part of pet care, and I will treat your furry family member with the same love, respect, and affection I’d give my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule—just me and my laptop! I can work on the go, which makes it easy to prioritize your pet’s needs. While I may have the occasional client call lasting up to an hour, the rest of my time is dedicated to giving your fur baby the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I will carefully follow all rules, routines, and restrictions you provide to ensure consistency and peace of mind. In my own home, I’ve created a secure, pet-friendly environment—nothing is left out or easily accessible that pets can get into. I also have a spacious patio for supervised outdoor time, and the open layout of my apartment means your pet will always be within my line of sight.

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.

Tiffany has been great. Our Molly warmed to her from the first moment she walked through the door. Molly is good with most people, but sometimes she takes a moment to work up to it. Tiffany must have given off great vibes because Molly treated her like one of the family the first second. Tiffany is communicative and reliable and most importantly, our dog is happy to see her every time. We have no doubts that our Molly is well taken care of and gets everything she needs. We cannot recommend Tiffany enough.

About: Here for your last minute doggy daycare & boarding needs! Greetings! My name is Trishelle & I look forward to meeting your furry acquaintances. I'm a dedicated and experienced small dog caregiver with over 3 years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for pups of all temperaments and energy levels. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, or doggy daycare, I treat every dog like family — because they are family. My specialty is caring for small breeds, and I understand their unique needs when it comes to exercise, attention, safety, and comfort. From daily walks and cuddle-filled playtime to stress-free overnight stays in a cozy, home-like environment, I ensure your pup feels secure, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am dependable, trustworthy, accommodating and flexible. Please inform me if your pet has specific needs such as a walking, food and allergies. I have a 2 year old miniature dachshund that is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. We look forward to meeting you soon! Pet care is a central part of my daily life — not just a job, but a true passion woven into my routine. Each day is thoughtfully planned around the dogs I care for to ensure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Mornings typically start with walks or breakfast for any boarding or daycare pups. Throughout the day, I schedule drop-in visits, enrichment activities, playtime, and potty breaks based on each dog's individual needs. For daycare dogs, I maintain a structured yet relaxed environment with plenty of cuddle time, short walks, and rest breaks to keep small dogs feeling safe and content. Evenings are often filled with winding down, dinner routines, and sending photo updates to pet parents. I also build in time for cleaning, prepping meals, and maintaining a calm, cozy home environment. Because I focus exclusively on small dogs, I can tailor my routine to their specific needs — whether that’s a midday walk, medication, or just sitting with a lapdog who needs some company. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I care for my pets with the same love, attention, and consistency I’d want someone to give mine if I were away. That means providing a structured daily routine with regular meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment, paying close attention to their behavior, mood, and health. Whether it’s keeping up with grooming, giving medication on schedule, or simply spending quiet time together, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and part of the family. I also believe in understanding each pet’s personality — some love to play, some just want to snuggle, and some need a little extra patience. I adjust my care to suit their needs, always leading with kindness and respect. For me, pet care isn’t just about meeting basic needs — it’s about nurturing trust and building a bond that makes every pet feel loved.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

About: I’ve owned senior animals that have needed meds. I give medications and take care of peoples animals daily as an icu vet tech. I’m relied on to take care of everything from stable to critical animals. I currently work full time but only work 3 days a week and could use something to do in my free time. Taking care of animals is something I love to do. I can do anything that is needed to be done from giving insulin to walking your animals. If you need a litter box cleaned or a cat to be pilled that’s not a problem either.

About: I have 5+ years of dog walking/sitting experience. I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter and love being around and taking care of dogs. I will love your dog like he/she is my own. If your dog isn't comfortable staying with me, I will come to their happy place. I love to cuddle and will guarantee your dog will be in great hands. I am the perfect temporary companion for your dog! I will also spoil your dog with all the love and affection and probably too many treats. I also have some experience with dog training and can work on commands that he/she already knows and possibly teach them something new! As an added bonus, I am a photographer and will spoil you with all the amazingly adorable photos of your fur baby while they are in my care. I work part-time so there is plenty of time for me to take your dog on a walk or simply let out for a potty walk while with you are at work or away from home. Unfortunately I am unable to host your pets at my home, due my current dog, but I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will clean up after myself, tidy up, and make sure to pick up any poop in the yard and of course on walks. I am here to help give your dog a well-deserved potty break, walk or fun adventure while you are away. I was on staff and currently volunteer at an animal shelter so you can trust I will care for your pets in the most humane and safe way possible.

About: As a passionate and young dog lover, I bring youthful energy and genuine care to every pet I work with. I’ve grown up around animals and have had my own so trust me when I say I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with each pet individually, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. Animals naturally cling to me because they know the love and care I have for every single one of them in my heart! For about two years, I worked at a dog park called Bark Social. There I was able to learn the tendencies, Behaviors, and needs of almost every breed! They gave me the training I needed to successfully clean after dogs, de-escalate situations, and properly manage them. I’d love to carry that knowledge over with your baby! Whether it’s providing extra attention to a playful puppy/kitten or offering gentle care to a senior dog/cat, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each of my furry friends. I understand the importance of trust and reliability, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s overall well-being is my top priority, and I’m dedicated to making sure they have a positive and enjoyable experience every time we’re together. I work a part-time job from home, so I have all the time in the world to interact and enjoy the company of the little fur babies! I am able to provide all of their needs and wants whether it be a stroll in the park, or playing fetch in my living room, I'm down for it! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your baby or watching them in your home, I ensure that they are always in a secure and comfortable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences, specifically to make sure they feel safe and at ease. In your home, I'd follow your guidelines closely, maintaining your pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress on both ends. I make sure their space is safe, free from hazards, stocked with everything they need, and clean! From fresh water to their favorite toys, everything will be provided. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I communicate promptly to keep you informed. When walking or caring for your baby outdoors, I prioritize their safety by using secure leashes, avoiding crowded or dangerous areas, and being vigilant about any potential risks. I’m always prepared for unexpected situations, carrying essentials like waste bags, water, and first aid supplies. Building trust with both pets and their owners is key, so I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and caring. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own, I'd show them the same respect and care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Middle River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Middle River on Rover is $17.76 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 4,648 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Middle River. 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 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 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 Middle River.

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 Middle River. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
