“Taylor is fantastic. She is very personable, and she is gentle and loving with my dog Duke. I contacted her the morning of and she was able to come take care of my dog that same day with little notice. My dog has stomach issues sometimes, and she even helped with cleanup when he had an accident in the house, on top of feeding him and taking him for a nice walk in the park. Duke and I are very happy that we found Taylor 💙”
“Chelsea was fantastic!!! One of my dogs wont go near any new people and, yet, she ran right up to her!! She sent photos at each walk and was always responsive, immediately. I will most definitely utilize her services again. Wonderful human being!”
About: I’ve been around all animals since I was a young child. I will treat your babies like they are my own. I have alot of experience with puppies and senior dogs. Fur babies are always prioritized. I am available to take the dogs out 2-3 times a day as needed. Most of the time if I’m in the house the dogs with be relaxing and cuddling with me or playing with each other. If I leave or go to work the dogs are crated. I have several parks nearby so that your baby can get out, stretch, and get fresh air. I can crate your baby as well. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby.
About: Hi there, my name is Ivy. I have been caring for pets for many years now. Some call me the dog whisper but i like to credit my dog attraction success by understanding that “it’s a dogs world, and I’m just living in it”. I truly love spending time with dogs. Dogs comes first in my house, I love being active and taking dogs for walks. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Im currently working part time. My days start early, so drop off and pick up times are flexible. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood apartment complex. I’m always excited to take dogs around for walks in the neighborhood. I am able to give your dog the attention it needs. Feel free to bring their favorite toys. I look forward welcoming and taking care for your fur babies. I live in an apartment that is gated. I also live close to multiple dog parks, Patterson Park being my favorite. So you can expect lots of running around and playing time with me. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level where your dog is most happy and comfortable.
About: I've always had a dog growing up and my parents made sure that me and my sisters were a part of training and raising a great dog. I've wanted my own pup forever and in 2019 when I was 100% ready to take on the responsibility, I got my best buddy, Atlas. We began our training at 16 weeks and are still going strong learning new skills and mastering old ones. My fiancé loves to say we "got such a great dog", but I know that Atlas and I worked our butts off to earn those compliments from strangers. In 2022 we adopted Dover into our little family giving Atlas a forever playmate. Dover is surprisingly 100% GSD which provided quite a learning curve as his training needs strongly differed from Atlas'. Working with Dover gave me a deeper understanding of dogs with separation anxiety and fear reactivity (barking) which has made me that much more prepared to work with any pup. I don't believe there are bad dogs, but every dog can have a bad day. As someone with a pup who is more reserved and particular about meeting new people, I understand the fear that comes with leaving your dog with someone new. It is my goal to love and understand your pup the same way you do so that you can feel comfortable being away. I'm embarrassingly obsessed with being the best dog owner, so I am constantly trying to learn how to best interact with dogs (and cats!) or fun new ways to engage my playful boys. I am the person friends call when they need help with their pets in any capacity-training, boarding, dog park visits, etc. My commitment to extraordinary pet care extends well past just my own boys. I can't wait to make your life as a pet parent just a little bit easier! Let's chat. 😊 I currently have a wide open schedule so I am available whenever your pet needs. I'm a morning person, so I don't mind the early morning walks. 🌞 As someone who understands that sometimes the need for short notice pet care is unavoidable, I am here to help step in when you need it most! Ever pet parent knows the best way to care for their pets, so I will always follow your guidance or suggestions. I love playing with pets and burning off that excess energy; I'm not one to just stop in and fill the water bowl-you can rest easy knowing snuggles always come after some exercise. I also love receiving updates or pictures of my boys when under someone else's care and I am happy to provide that to parents who prefer some pooch pics in the middle of the work day.
“Sarah was amazing and super communicative! She took great care of Pinot and sent me a ton of pics which I appreciate so much!! I will definitely work with her again :)”
“Fabiola is fabulous. On short notice, she accepted my request for weekly walks. She takes wonderful care of my dog. My neighbors say they she them walking, and Fabiola manages my excitable puppy well and has an enjoyable walk. Her communication is prompt.”
“Jenna was great- she had availability at the last minute, was super quick to respond to messages, and the peace of mind that came from her text updates about picking up the pup and their hangout together was so worth it. I'd definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“SJ is wonderful to work with. The notes they provided after the daily walks meant so much to me while I was away from my fur-baby. Highly, highly recommend.”
About: I have years of experience taking care of my family dog, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends. I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats. I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Baltimore studying counseling and I live in the Federal Hill neighborhood. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently a full-time grad student, and I’m available during the morning/early afternoon Monday/Wednesday, and all day Thursday and Friday. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. It’s important to me to make sure your pet gets the best experience I can provide.
“Sophia did great with her drop-ins and walks for our young beagle, who can be very energetic and a bit of a handful. He was very happy and we could tell he had expended his puppy energy during the walks. She was always on time and communicated extremely well. We will definitely be asking Sophia back!”
About: Friends and family know I will always jump at an opportunity to help out and spend time with a pet, and I've spent a lot of time taking care of both my own and other's dogs and cats. I grew up training and running with my family dog, and now I have my own little kitten who is my best friend! I am a master's student at Johns Hopkins with a pretty flexible schedule. My classes are primarily mid-day T-F, and I am available most other times for walks, feeding, or just a check in! Your pet your rules - I always like to make sure their environment is safe and free of hazards and accident prone things, but any additional things you might need I am happy to accommodate. I will always double check that their space is safe when I leave your home!

Highly recommend! I needed a dog walker the same day, and William was very accommodating and easy to work with. He was friendly, communicative, and treated my 125lb German Shepherd with great care. It’s not always easy to find someone reliable on short notice who can handle a big dog. I’ve already booked again!
Erica was an amazing care taker for our 2 yr old golden retriever. Erica was very responsive and flexible making multiple visits over a couple days to attend to our dog. We received lots of pictures and updates while Erica was with our dog. We will definitely be hiring her again and recommending her services.
I had a knee injury and suddenly needed a dog walker fast and Ivan was extremely responsive. Ivan has been so great with my Pittie, Kai. Kai has a neurological condition - NCL4A that makes her a bit wobbly and need some special attention and stability on walks at times and she also loves walks. Ivan has been really understanding of her needs and helpful with her and she gets so excited every morning for this 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 your Mount Vernon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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.
