Taylor was great working with our dog who get very anxious meeting new people. She did everything possible to make our dog more comfortable and it worked out great. She was able to take a nice walk with our dog and worked with our dog to make her more comfortable. I would recommend Taylor to anyone looking for services on Rover.

About: I had Chows as a kid growing up and I've had my current Chow for 8 years. I love dogs and animals in general and understand the importance of having someone reliable to call on to be able to take care of them. I'll show your furbabies the love they deserve and make sure they're looked after while you're away. I'm available to take care of your pet as needed. I'd love to arrange a meet & greet to get to know your pet in their environment and discuss expectations. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of while you're away. Let me know their feeding and activity schedule and your instructions for keeping their area clean and tidy.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me with their furry family members. In addition to years of hands-on experience, I also spent 4 years working in the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant/technician, giving me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Additionally I have fostered for local rescues, litters of puppies to senior pups, all with individual needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication administration, senior support, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for lots of snuggles and walks. I am able to stop by for quick check-ins or stay for a few hours to get those afternoon zoomies out. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and breeds, allowing me to calmly and comfortably crate, medicate or walk pets. Having the knowledge and hands-on experience allows me to stay calm in any situation which helps your pets feel safe.

About: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and, as a freelancer new to the Bay Area, I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pups who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther before he went to heaven. I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pup, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️

Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.

About: I grew up in a household full of animals, so I’m used to some chaotic pet energy. :) I like to play and create a bond with pets. My main focus is making them feel comfortable with the experience. I work full time, but I’m home often so I can work around my schedule when needed. I enjoy just hanging out with the pets but I can also go on an adventure with them if needed to get that energy out! I’ve had many puppies and kittens in my day so I know how to work with them and help potty train if needed. Right now I have two small girl dogs who are super friendly and just want more friends in their lives! They love cats and dogs alike.

About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

About: I have taken care of many dogs over the years, I am good at keeping a strict routine and ensuring dogs feel comfortable in their environment. I adopted a rescue a couple years ago and worked with her to make her feel comfortable and loved. I have worked with many breeds, sizes and temperaments. I am usually available on weekends for extended care and I am able to do check ins at morning, lunch and evenings with enough advanced notice. In the client's home I follow exact instructions, the clearer the better I am all about communication to ensure your fur-baby is taken care of. In my own home, your pet will have some friends that love other dogs. We have half an acre of fenced in yard that its plenty of space for them to stretch their legs. I have a solid routine with my dogs so we would combine routines to ensure everyone is kept comfortable.

About: As a veterinary technician with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals, I bring an extra level of knowledge and confidence to pet care. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets for signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets or those with special medical needs. I understand animal behavior, body language, and stress signals, allowing me to tailor my approach to each pet's personality and needs. Beyond my professional experience, I'm a lifelong animal lover pursuing veterinary school, so caring for animals is genuinely my passion. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, a patient friend while you're away, or attentive care during a medical recovery, I'll treat them with the same compassion and attention I'd give my own pets. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Right now, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of booking types, including daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests when my availability allows. Every pet is unique, so I always take the time to learn their normal routine and preferences before a visit. Whether I'm stopping in for a drop-in visit, taking your dog for a walk, or staying overnight, my goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and any medications they may need.

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

About: I have always been a big animal person. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and acquaintances since I was 13 years old. I have had the privilege of caring for many dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I am totally available Monday through Friday all day, most weeks, unless I am out of town for a trip or nannying for a family. I take caring for someone else's pet very seriously. I will always prioritize that animal's safety and care and will remain vigilant when pet sitting or walking to ensure that safety.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Patuxent

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 8,389 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Patuxent. 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 Patuxent. 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 Patuxent.

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 Patuxent. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
