About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by the Amish community, where caring for animals, from cows and goats to dogs and cats, was simply part of daily life. That early experience shaped my respect for animals of all kinds and gave me a lifelong passion for their care. Today, I’m proud to be both a certified yoga instructor and a devoted pet mom to three wonderful dogs and several cats. I bring the same patience, energy, and mindfulness from my yoga practice into how I care for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats. From gentle walks to providing comfort and administering medications, I understand the extra attention and compassion they need in their golden years. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calming stroll, or specialized senior care, I adapt to their unique personality and routines. I am flexible, reliable, and committed to making your life easier while giving your pet the very best care. You can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby in someone else’s care. Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. No task is too big or too small.

About: Previously worked for a doggy daycare. Many years of experience and knowledge with different breeds and dog behaviors. Loves all shapes and sized dogs! Also available for baths & nail trims. LOCATED IN TARTESSO - just a psa for all my tartesso neighbors, I’m in the area. & for everyone else it’s kind of a drive to get here but a nice little stop if you’re heading to LA! I work mornings during the weekdays so I’m limited to the times I can do drop ins and walks during the week. Can do it all on the weekends! Very accommodating and anything can be arranged. Very large fenced in backyard with a doggy door! I have a two year old Cane Corso mix who is the friendliest boy you’ll ever meet and would love a buddy to play with for the day. Dog isn’t friendly? No worries, we’ll equipped to keep my pup separate if needed.

About: Young professional who LOVES dogs! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and truly enjoy every minute of it! I successfully potty trained my own pup in just 3 months and taught her to shake, roll over, and fetch. I’m patient, loving, dependable, and experienced with dogs of all ages. I can’t wait to meet, walk, play with, and love on your furry family member! I work Monday - Friday between 7am - 5pm but am available to care for the dogs before, during lunch, and after work. During the weekends I am available the whole day and a lot more flexible. I am also usually available for 3-4 day weekends. I have a crate for my dog and usually allow her to roam during the day unless I am not home or if she wants to lay down. I am very flexible to what your dog is comfortable with or what you already have set up in your home.

“Darsy has been great. She shows up on time and has been working to gain the trust of our obstinate rat terrier and made progress today to get her out on a walk. As for our puppy, Bella, Darcy has been great with walking her and making sure she gets some water after the walk and playing with her. She’s also been great about working around our schedule. I highly recommend her.”

About: Dog lover who has raised and fostered puppies, plus hands-on experience with Shelties, Border Collies, and Pitties. I get the whole range - potty training, crate training, chewing phase, and socialization for puppies, plus brain games for herding breeds and big cuddles for pitties. I do frequent potty breaks, structured walks, enrichment, feeding, meds, and lots of photo updates. Comfortable with high energy, barkers, shy pups, and strong love bugs. Your dog gets their routine kept and a tired, happy brain. I have open availability 7 days a week for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute requests are all good with me. Puppies and kittens welcome for multiple visits a day. In your home I follow your exact routine so your pets feel safe and your home is respected. For dogs I do on-leash walks with a secure harness, poop bags and water, sniff walks for enrichment, feeding on schedule, crate time as instructed, play, and clean up. I avoid retractable leashes and dog parks unless you approve, I wipe paws, and I secure your home when I leave. For cats and kittens I do fresh food and water, scoop and clean litter boxes, play and enrichment, brushing if needed, and meds or eye drops if needed. For bottle babies and young kittens I follow your feeding chart, keep them warm, and clean them up. I keep cat and dog areas separate if needed, I never let cats outside unless you approve, and I keep everything tidy. You get an update after every visit with photos, what they ate, potty and litter details, and how they played and rested.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, and even a frog, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Alaska (The Hound Lounge) for almost 2.5 years, where I handled feeding, water, medications, enrichment, photos for owners, and making sure every pup had plenty of playtime, comfort, and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, one of which has IVDD and I care for from giving medication to expressing her bladder and colon and the other of which I walk daily. I’ve worked with pups of all sizes — from tiny Yorkies to giant St. Bernards. If you’re looking for someone confident, reliable, and comfortable with all dogs (and happy to care for cats, too!), I’ve got you covered. I currently am a stay at home dog mom and am caring for my dog who has IVDD and is paralyzed in her back legs. Because of that, I’m most available for check-ins or daily walks, along with occasional overnight care when I have advance notice. This helps me plan ahead and make sure I can give your pets my full attention. As I build my client base, my goal is to transition to full-time pet care and open up even more flexible availability for all of my clients. I always ask pet parents to leave detailed instructions on how they’d like their furry friends cared for while they’re away. This can include anything from walk lengths, feeding amounts, and medication schedules to whether they need a leash in the backyard, are allowed to roam freely, or prefer a crate during the day or night. I also ask where they sleep—whether that’s in their own bed, on the couch, or cuddled up next to me (which I’m totally fine with!). I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, and if no specific directions are provided, I will use my best judgment to ensure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

“My experience with Elizabeth as a pet sitter was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs. She house sat for a full month while caring for our dog and cat. Our dog can be anxious around new people and requires medication three times a day, and Elizabeth handled everything with ease. Her background in veterinary care, calm presence, and compassionate approach gave me complete confidence while we were away for several weeks. I will absolutely be contacting Elizabeth again for our future pet care needs. Thanks again!”

About: I grew up with dogs as far back as I can remember. Many family members had dogs and cats as well, so I am extremely comfortable around pets and absolutely love being around them. I understand they can feel like our children and we love and care for them in the same way. I have been pet sitting at homes for the past two years and love it! My career for most of my life has been a Human Resources professional, so I bring the love and care for your pets, paired with professionalism and reliability to you! I've always been a very clean and organized person, so your home would be well taken care of. You will not have to worry or doubt any specific instructions for care or routine, no matter how detailed or rigorous you feel it may be. I am highly respectful and understanding about anything you prefer for your pet's care while you are away. You can count on me to care for your animal as you would with all the love and attention they may need. I enjoy going for walks or staying in and playing around if they feel playful. If they need their space own space, of course they shall have what their little hearts desire. I was recently part-time as a nanny and household manager for a family. My current job is working in the Mortgage Department at Eglin Federal Credit Union. MY AVAILABILITY: I am available all day Saturdays and Sundays. I am free for drop-ins after 5pm, Monday - Friday. I always ask the owner what specific routine or activities they have for their pet and follow that. In addition, of course, I love to play with pets if they have toys they use or just like to run around in a game of chase. I will talk to your pet and make them feel okay in your absence and give them the attention they need.

About: I cannot wait to watch your pupper. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have had three dogs that I raised from puppies. My life revolves around my pets and I would love to take care of your pets as my own. I have a big house and a huge, fully fenced in 0.5 acre backyard and my dog is super dog friendly and would love some buddies over at our house as well. I work from home and the pups will be in my full time care and I love to love on them. I do not crate my dogs or any dogs I’m watching unless you instruct me to. I also house sit the pets in the comfort of their homes. I’m well trained to take care of dogs according to their needs and special instructions. I have experience with senior pups as well and would love to make their stay as comfortable as possible. I would like your dog to be house trained but I understand an accident here and there is totally normal though. Would highly appreciate if the pups are updated on their flea tick medication and other vaccinations. We allow the pups to sleep with us on the bed and to cuddle with us on the couch. Every doggie we sit is treated exactly like we’d like our doggies to be treated and nothing less. I’m available to house sit your fur babies in the comfort of your home as well. When I’m gone, my partner watches our pups and I’m available to be over at your house as much as you need me to, including overnights. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and love on them! I work from home and never really leave the babies on their own other than to check mail or grab groceries. The pets will be under my full time care. My partner loves to help out and we take the doggies on walks together and will also be down to take them out hiking, to the beach or even out on our boat with your permission and their comfort :) I have a fully fenced in yard and three super friendly puppers to keep your dogs company. I would love to play with your dogs or cuddle them, whatever they need. They are allowed on furniture and bed and can be in crates if that’s what you want me to do. Other than that our house is big with a lot of space for the doggies to explore.

About: I've been fostering puppies locally since 2022. All the effort and mess (let's be real) is worth it for puppy breath and dog snuggles. I prioritize socialization and I can reinforce basic skills. We have lots of toys and play outside too. I stay at home so I have lots of time to provide care and attention. I am not away from the house for more than an hour or so, for any dogs that need close attention. I have a fenced back yard and a dedicated room inside the home. I have a pen, a large crate as well as a medium crate.

About: I have taken care of dogs for years. I believe they are apart of your family and are your children. Last year I watched about 15 dogs at one time back to back for the holidays! They all slept in my bed. I have had dogs in every size from big black labs to small chihuahua. I have watched several dogs that have had to have medication. I have taken care of a pup and put 4 drops in each eye 3 times a day.I have taken care of a sweet pup that was blind so I had to clap for it to get its way around. I absolutely love animals and showing them that they matter. I stay at home with my two children that also love animals so my schedule is always open. I am very flexible for your convenience. If I am away from my home it's mainly in the evenings or to take my kids to appts which varies. I have a fenced-in backyard on Travis AFB that looks out to the hills and trains along with several dog parks around me. I also have a big garage where if it rains they can be played within a big open space as in fetch or tug of war!! I love to send so many pictures and videos to the dog mommy and daddy also, so you won't have to worry about how they are doing! I have two children aged 3 & 1 that adore dogs and are great with them. Our little 8 lb Shih Tzu puppy will also be around, she sleeps in a play yard and is very well with other dogs. My husband also lives in the household but is gone during the day. We love to go on walks and runs every day!!! We LOVE the outdoors.

About: As a dog owner for the past 20 years I know the stress of worrying about your pets when you can't take them with you. I want to take some of that stress and worry away by providing a fun loving place for your pets to stay. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15 years. As a stay at home mom your pets will get a lot of love and attention. I also have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. Rest assured your pets will be well loved and cared for while you are away. I currently work for myself from home, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility. Also, my two teens are usually home in the afternoons and on the weekends so there’s always somebody here with the animals. . I have two beagles that are super chill and super friendly. I also have a huge yard on a corner cul-de-sac that’s completely fenced in so there’s plenty of room for them to run around in the backyard as well as take daily walks.

I didn’t get to meet her in person but just from my communication and walk reports, I could sense how much of a animal lover she is! I think I can speak for everyone when I say my dog is my baby lol, and I was not worried or stressed for a single second. She is punctual, caring, and friendly! 10/10 recommended ?”

About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ocean City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ocean City is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 962 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ocean City. 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 Ocean City. 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 , 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 Ocean City 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocean City. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
