“Leah has been amazing! She is very understanding of Dolly's needs and helps us implement her current training on her walks. She is extremely knowledgeable and I look forward to continue working with her. 😊”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover who has 20 years of experience with high-need small breeds to larger pittie mixes. I have experience with medication management, fragile pets with mobility issues, anxiety and more. I work full-time from home so as long as I have a WiFi connection I’m in good shape. Plenty of time for walks and playtime I am available for walks, drop ins, day care or boarding in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard and literal miles of sidewalks and trails near me for walks. I offer run of the house for dogs who can do that, or safe smaller spaces for little ones. I have lots of experience with maintaining a safe environment for pets with anxiety, mobility issues or other conditions.
About: I've walked dogs as a volunteer as well as administered medication. Those skills taught me patience and understanding while scooping and entertaining the animals. That's it. I'll have plenty of time to play with puppies and dogs. Which will be a good way to support them and make sure they get the loving care they need. I have a regular home that has cats in it and it is a safe place for animals in general. That's about it for that detail.
About: Hello, I started to care for dogs other than mine when I started babysitting for children years ago. I really enjoy it. I am available during the day until 5pm most days. If you need later just request or ask and ill let you know if i can on the days you need. I am excited to meet new dogs, and be able to help fellow owners who need a hand making sure their dogs are taken care of. I really love dogs and hope to be a good fit in this community. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I know these dogs are precious to you and I will my best to keep them on their schedule. I work nights so I’m usually available during the day. This fits for me because I want to be more active during the day. I cant wait to meet your dog! Depends on the pet parents. Some pet parents leave their dogs out. I try to make sure they have some water on warmer days. If they are crated, then I crate them before I leave. I make sure the home is closed when I leave for a walk and when I leave for the day.
“Julia, I want to thank you for stepping up and helping us when another walker had a family emergency starting the first day of the booking. Moxie enjoyed your company and attention and I was able to complete a business transaction without the distraction of worrying about Moxies's welfare. Good Job!”
About: Hi I’m Lauren! I am a personal trainer and yoga teacher and have also cared for clients’ cats, dogs and homes over the years, which has proved to be a fun and rewarding side gig! My parents have a mini dachshund who I adore and I have also owned guinea pigs since I was a child. I love rodents! I have also worked with numerous senior and special needs cats and dogs. I can make sure your home is neat and tidy, tend to your plants, and even provide an energy cleanse for your space! I work for myself part time so house sitting, drop-ins and walks work well for my lifestyle. I enjoy experiencing new critters, places and spaces so this work is overall a good fit for me! I think animals can feel that I’m a safe person. I’ve practiced yoga and meditation for over a decade and I think they recognize the vibe 😆 I make an effort to respect them as just other beings who I coexist with. I see our time together as mutually healing.
“Gianna started walking my dog weekly about a month ago. I went back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to hire someone given my dog’s reactivity on walks. I could not be happier with our choice to have Gianna!! She is responsible, communicative, patient and kind. My dog is noticeably happier when I get home, and it feels like a huge weight is off our shoulders to know he is being cared for by someone who cares for and loves him like I do. I can’t recommend her enough!!”
About: I have many years experience with pets including volunteering for a dog rescue in my youth as well as owning pets myself. I have a 19 year background in healthcare but I love playing with and cuddling dogs/cats so I’m looking for that extra work and time with pets. I’m responsible and on time. I can administer medicine and prepare food if needed. I can also take your pet to the vet/groomer. I love hikes. I’m available Monday’s, Thursday’s, Saturdays, and Sunday. On Monday’s and Thursday’s I’m available from 9am-3pm and weekends I can do 8am-7pm. More days to come depending on need. Looking forward to meeting your furry babies. I’m currently working part time, So I’m available to walk or visit your pets on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Looking forward to hearing from you. I prefer to take care of pets in your home. I will crate train and can do light cleaning. I can walk your pet(s) and administer medication and/feed. I will also transport your pet to the vet/groomer.
About: I think what sets me apart is that your dog will really become part of our household while they're here. I'm only away at work one day a week, and my wife works from home most days, so someone is usually around. I'm also a registered nurse. So I'm very comfortable, following detailed instructions, keeping schedules, getting medications and noticing when something seems off. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. I've had and cared for dogs since I was a child, so caring for them has been part of my life for more than 25 years. I'm currently working one day a week and at home studying the rest. I'm usually in town most weekends and holidays. Since I'm home so much, it's easy for me to fit in walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention to your dog into my day. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm happy to stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine. I have a completely fenced-in yard with plenty of space to run around and play, and I don't have any dogs of my own at this time. Dogs will be supervised while outside, and I can crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I have tons of Kongs, chew toys, enrichment, games, and treat mats to keep your dog engaged, but I'm also perfectly happy to have a lazy couch potato hanging out with me while I study! I always keep fresh water available and give regular potty breaks. I'll follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I'll adjust their activity and care based on their personality, age and energy level. And of course, I'll send you updates and pictures so you know how they 're doing.
About: I have had a dog for 9 years and take care of him. I am really good with dogs and love them so much! I take care of my cousins’ dog sometimes as well and he is a big dog. I can work every day just need a heads up ahead of time. I can work 24 hrs a day if needed and will work for a week at most. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company and I am great at dog walks! My mom works from home and she loves dogs as much as I do!
About: I have grown up with all different animals including hamsters, rabbits, potbellied pigs, dogs, cats, horses, pygmy goats, and more! I have been fortunate enough to have dogs of all sizes from Miniature Dachshunds to Great Danes throughout my life. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds! Growing up we had Himalayan cats, which I adored :) I am happy to bathe your pet as well. Your pet will be in loving and experienced hands while you are away. I am a paraeducator for MCPS and am currently off for the summer. I am working summer school, which is 3 weeks in July and from 9:00-1:30. I am otherwise home and have full availability. I have a small, fenced yard but would also take them for walks as I am down the street from a park. I will follow the client's instructions on exercise and preferred schedule for their pet. The client needs to know and trust that their animal is safe and being loved while they are away. I often care for neighbor's and extended family pets. My children are away for the summer and I would love to fill my days with animals!
About: I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog, and even a few pet rats. Currently I have two indoor cats and a variety of wildlife that my roommates tell me I am allowed to feed but not allowed to bring inside. I have a little bit of experience with caring for reptiles, birds, and one hedgehog in addition to the more traditional pets. I find that I am particularly popular with large, energetic dogs who enjoy playing with someone "their own size" and anxious critters who need lots of reassurance. I recently completed graduate school and currently have lots of time to provide love, exercise, medication, and whatever else your furry friend may need while you are away. As an in-home sitter I always make sure to get complete instructions on where pets can or cannot go in the house/yard, approved treats, and any medication schedules along with vet information in case of emergencies.
“Julia did a great job with Oakley! She took for a nice long walks and he seemed super happy in the pictures she shared. She had good communication and I would definitely used her again.”
“This is our first experience using a dog walker with Rover and we are very pleased with Destiny! We needed someone to walk our dog 3 times a day for two days. She arrived on time for all 6 walks and sent pictures of each walk. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Alena is very personable, responsible and flexible. She came to walk Bentley while I was at work and did a great job! If I had to pick a prototype of an ideal pet sitter, it would be her.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Olney is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Olney
Jeannie was absolutely fantastic. We weren’t able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, but she took the time to ask so many thoughtful and important questions ahead of the visit. Because of that, she came to the house completely prepared and already had a great understanding of Steve Harvey and his routine. Her communication was first-class from start to finish. The updates, pictures, and follow-up gave me complete peace of mind, and I’m especially grateful that she was able to help us on such short notice. The next time Steve Harvey needs a walk, I won’t hesitate for a second to call Jeannie again. Highly recommend her!
My dog can be very selective when meeting new people, so finding the right caregiver is especially important to me. From the very first meeting, it was clear that my dog genuinely liked her and felt comfortable around her, which immediately put me at ease. She was prompt, thorough, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. Her calm, confident manner and genuine affection for animals really stood out. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and would happily book with her again. Highly recommended!
Juliana was such a life saver. My older parents adopted a dog and needed help with walking him. She was there each morning with a smile to take the little guy out. We were so sad when her work schedule changed and she couldn't make it anymore. We were grateful for the walks she was able to do with Cosmo!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Olney is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per 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 Olney. 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 Olney 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 Olney. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
