“Taylor has been walking Mia for a couple weeks now and have been exceptional every time. She is always on time and sends a lot of pictures! Mia also loves being walked by Taylor. I would highly recommend Taylor for your walk and stay needs!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm... Small apartment but plenty of walkable parks nearby. Friendly fur companions to keep your baby company! Lots of treats and a loving home away from home
“Amazing dog walkers ! Helped my pup through a little GI upset he was having. She even cleaned him up for me while I was at work so he wouldn’t have to wait. I’m so grateful!”
“Sierra is amazing. She truly connected with our two dogs (both husky mixes), and they couldn't wait for her to arrive so they could on their walks with her. She has a great personality and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets in my community, including seniors and those with medical & behavioral needs. I’m new to Baltimore and new to Rover, and I’d love to use my skills to explore the city with your pet! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I am also free most evenings after 5:30, and I’m open to overnight stays. I currently cannot offer hosting pets in my home, but when I care for your pet, I truly care. I want to know their individual needs, and I know that good communication goes both ways: you can always count on updates (& cute pictures) of your pet!
About: I'm very comfortable with all kinds of dogs, whether it's a new pup who needs to burn all that crazy energy, a bigger dog that needs a steady hand, or a sweet senior that just wants a relaxed walk! I tailor each visit to each dog's personality. If they want to run, we'll run, and if they're more of a slow walker who likes to stop at each tree and sniff, I don't mind at all! And after each walk, I always like to finish up with a quick paw wipe and a good brushing so your place stays nice and clean and your pup feels their best!!! I treat this like a real job, so I keep a digital calendar updated daily to stay organized, leaving plenty of room for extra play or last-minute requests that pop up. I prioritize safety and strictly follow all established house rules. When visiting the client's home, I follow specific walking routes and protocols to prevent accidents and hazards.
About: I have experience pet-sitting big, small, young, and senior dogs and cats. I also have work experience at the vet. I’ll treat your fur babies as my own and make sure they have a happy and safe experience! I work three 12-hours nights shifts a week as a nurse so majority of my days are available for check-ins, walks, home visits, or cuddles In my own home, I make sure the space is clean and safe for my pup before I leave. On walks with reactive dogs, I make sure to walk them in a non-stimulating area and provide encourage for good behavior. I can handle the smallest to largest of dogs, with all kinds of personalities.
“Sun has been great to work with, and I hope to continue to work with them this year. Fitz responds really well to them, and I can tell they care about taking care of my dog. Thank you so much for all that you do!”
“Corinne was great! She met us for a meet and greet before the walk, and she responded quickly to our questions. She was great with Sadie--a large dog who can be very energetic--and she was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to everyone on Rover.”
About: I am experienced in taking care of high energy dogs, dogs with special medical needs, and older dogs. I am a very active 30 year so I can take high energy dogs on runs or long walks. I have experience training dogs and can offer training services to untrained dogs. As someone who has had a lot of experience working with different types of dogs I have am capable of working with any pet, whether high energy, untrained, or old. Additionally I am someone who is very detail oriented and organized to making sure that your home or the space your dog is staying in clean and peaceful for your pet is a priority. I hope I get the opportunity to work with your dog. I am currently working part-time so can offer time and attention to your pet. I love walking and am excited to get your dog moving and show them the care and attention they need. I live next to a park so taking your dog out for exercise is easy and accessible. My house is organized and clean so it will be difficult for your dog to get into anything they shouldn’t.
“Alyssa took great care of my dog Bucky! She was right on time, communicated well, and provided pictures. She walked him, fed him, and gave him lots of love and attention!”
About: Growing up with 2 Huskies, 1 Samoyed, 9 bunnies, and even a chinchilla, I have had my fair share of experience with animals over the years. I have taken care of the pets, plants, and houses of family and friends, now wishing to expand that interest to my community. I am additionally very active and a runner, therefore happy to walk (and run) with energetic pets. As a part-time nurse, I work 2-3 shifts a week. While my schedule is different week by week, I am available on my days off. I treat other homes with the same cleanliness and respect as my own. My home is a 3 story Baltimore rowhouse with a small fenced-in backyard and many walkable parks in the vicinity. I have 1 very shy female cat, who usually keeps to herself when other animals are around.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, at the age of 13 I was giving my old furry best friend her medication. I listen very carefully to pet needs and have experience pet sitting for at least 3 years. When entering college, I took the health of my babies more seriously. All pets need love and attention! I am currently a graduate student attending classes Tuesdays and Thursdays. Checking in on your fur baby(s) is no problem! I am happy to help :) I can let your pet out to relieve themselves, feed them, give them medication, whatever you think they need. My fur babies either stay inside or outside depending on the weather. If they stay inside, we set up pee pads for them, and leave them with food and water.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for hundreds of pets, I bring a level of dedication and knowledge that truly sets me apart. From energetic puppies needing structure and training to senior dogs requiring extra patience, meds, and mobility support—I’ve done it all. I cared for my own beloved pup for 17 wonderful years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s administering medication, reinforcing good behavior, or just offering lots of love and attention, your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and my flexible schedule means I’m available when you need me—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays. I prioritize each pet’s unique needs and can easily adjust my day to fit their routine. Whether your dog thrives on a strict schedule or just needs some extra attention and playtime, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care whenever it’s needed. I welcome your pet into my home as part of the family—because they deserve nothing less! I’m located between two beautiful parks, perfect for daily walks and playtime. My schedule is flexible, and I always tailor care to match your pet’s usual routine, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Kayla did an amazing job helping take care of our senior pup. I had an extremely busy couple of weeks of work and needed the extra help walking Cotton. Kayla always responded quickly and help adjust the the walk times as needed for Cotton. It gave me lots of peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I had a dog for 16 years and cats for 10 years. I love animals and taking care of them. Aside from my love of animals, I am looking to get exercise in, so doing long dog walks are something I am looking forward to. I can provide services any time between 6am-6pm M-F I have 4 cats, but live in a 3 story townhome with an extra bedroom just for my cats. I have plenty of space and can pet sit small dogs or cats

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Xuan is absolutely phenomenal! She is kind, dependable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. From our very first interaction, she put me at ease. Her communication is excellent, and I appreciate the patience and attention she gives Winslow. It’s such a relief knowing he is in good hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker. I highly recommend Xuan!
She is absolutely amazing! My dog requires a lot of patience, understanding, and extra care, but she always goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She never rushes him, always respects his pace, and somehow manages to make every walk a success. I truly feel that my dog is so lucky to have her in his life. I’m incredibly grateful for her kindness, dedication, and genuine care. I can’t thank her enough!

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 Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
