About: I have cared for many dogs over time, I really enjoy it because they are instant mood boosters. I have helped with senior doggos and puppies, supported them in maintaining their routines and sense of comfort while their owners are away for brief stints to longer periods of time. Each dog has their own temperament so I enjoy the process of discovering their personalities and growing in trust with them. I also really like taking them on walks and watching them explore their surroundings. I’m available on most weekdays, the timing can be quite flexible but requires at least 24 hours notice. I’m less available on weekends but you’re still welcome to ask about them, I might be around and free! I am open to whatever process your dog needs and whatever they find most fitting and comforting in their home environments. Change (however small) can be stressful for them so I try as best as I can to keep things as stable and calm as I can for them.
“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”


About: I love getting dogs out for fresh air and exercise while making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. My goal is to provide plenty of attention, activity, and companionship so your pup stays happy while you’re away. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m focusing on pattern testing. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. My neighborhood is a fenced-in dog park with plenty of lush grass, perfect for safe off-leash play and zoomies! We're also steps away from a private beach and surrounded by scenic trails, so your pup will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and sniffs. I always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and keeping your furry friend happy and comfortable. Water, rest breaks, and lots of love are always included!

“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”

“Micaya deserves more than five stars. She was gentle, patient, and attentive to detail with Charlie. My German Shepard takes time to warm up to, but during our first meet and greet with Micaya, Charlie quietly lay next to her feet while we were talking. Micaya is Amazing she shared pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and was on time for scheduled walks. Micaya, you are loving and caring of our Fur family members.”
“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”


About: I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a Goldendoodle that I've raised for the past two years while balancing Division I lacrosse and college academics, and I also have two Golden Retrievers at home. Being a dog owner has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and providing plenty of love and attention. As a future nurse, I am detail-oriented, responsible, and committed to providing safe, dependable care. Pet owners can count on me to be trustworthy, attentive to their pet's individual needs, and communicative throughout their time away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I’m available 24/7 and I am very flexible and understand summers can be busy and unpredictable. I will work with whatever time works best for you and your animals :) I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own that loves company and is very friendly. I have creates if need be and also in a nice neighborhood for long walks :)
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”


About: I have over 30 years experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I will treat your furry family members as if they are my own beloved grandchildren.

I also have years of experience with cats, snakes, lizards, a wide variety of other fluffy family members, (limited experience with birds). Please just reach out to me.
“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”

“Thank you so much Katie for taking such great care of my 4-legged furry kids! They came home appropriately pooped out. 😊 It didn’t take them long to get attached to you. They’re looking forward to more walks in the future.”


About: I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well. No matter the age, the work day is a long time for them to be alone and I’ll get them outside for potty and back in for some pets and snuggles. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I have base access and can also get them to the vet if you can’t get away from work. I will come over and ensure your home is safe and secure upon entering and leaving. If they’re not sleeping in the living room I’ll go find them in the house and get them outback in your fenced yard or on a walk to get their potty and exercise break in.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I offer reliable dog walks and drop-in visits to make sure your pets stay happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes except giant breeds, and I’m happy to care for cats as well. During every visit, I’ll provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks (if requested), playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are doing well. My goal is to treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently working part time night shifts. So I will be available to watch your pets, or walk them between 10am-4pm. Monday-Friday typically. And I’ll be between Lusby Maryland and la plata! The only pets I’ve watched are for friends, family, neighbors so far. But I love all animals and try to spoil them as much as I can. I’ve had many different pets over my 24 years. Can’t say I’ve had a pet I didn’t enjoy having. I always make sure litter boxes are clean, bladders are empty. Food and water bowls clean and filled. Playtime is fulfilled along with just sitting in their company
About: I used to have a dog as I grew up and took care of it for many years and have recently helped take care of my landlord's dog as well. I live in a subdivision so I am more than aware of the practice of curbing the dog. I am very special with pets and love taking care of them. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and all the care it needs and not just the bare basics of food water and walks. I also have taken care of a cat too so I am more than willing to take care of cats as well, but I strongly prefer to take care of dogs only. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes.

About: I have a golden retriever of my own, and have been dog sitting, walking and taking care of other families and friends dogs for about 5 years. I am home from college for the summer, and taking classes at night. I am available during the day and mornings, and have fairly open weekends. I have experience walking pets, feeding them, giving them medication if needed, or just spending time with them while their owners are away! I love sending photos and videos to their owners while they are away.
About: I’m a pet parent to 4 dogs of various sizes and 1 cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have 13 years of experience working with pets of all ages, including seniors and special‑needs pets with clear instructions. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is 5 PM–10 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide treats with your approval, and I prefer traveling to your home so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. Baths can be given upon request. I do not trim nails or hair since I’m not certified for grooming. If your pet has special routines, medications, or accommodations, I’m more than willing to follow them. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m always happy to answer questions and help you feel confident about your pet’s care. I currently work full-time in the medical field. I’m able to provide weekend care and minor drop in and walks during the week day. I have several pets at home. If your pet does well around other animals I will be able to house them for a few days. I’m available for dog walking all weekend. Limited availability during the week.
“Paulina is such a great pet sitter for my two little Dachshunds! She went above and beyond making sure my puppies were well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. She’s wonderful at giving updates while I was away. She loves animals and loves spending time with them. I will always go with Paulina; my puppies love her!”

As of August 2026, there are 417 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Patuxent River. 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 River. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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.
