“Brenna was an awesome walker - we were looking for someone new on a short timeline and I’m so glad we found Brenna. She is communicative and even gave Smokey some extra walking time which I really appreciate. If you're looking for a dog walker in La Plata, don’t hesitate to book!”
“Great experience with our first walk! Kylie was attentive and followed the guidance I provided well! I especially appreciated that she reinforced the commands we’re working on at home. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Daniel has been a great go to walker for my Rex! He always keeps good communication and sends me tons of pictures every day. He’s reliable and very friendly, and would recommend him to anyone needing a Rover!”
“Morgan has been great at taking care of Amber and Scarlet. Amber is slow to warm up to strangers but Morgan has done a great job making them feel more comfortable and I know they will become fast friends. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or walker.”
“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.”
“Aliyah is very dependable, and responds to my requests in a very timely matter! She has no problems with doing what you ask of her. Aliyah continues to be a great walker for my dog and he loves her!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets primarily the most experience with dogs since I was 13 years old. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds from puppies to senior dogs. Additionally I’ve also fostered and cared for cats when friends and neighbors have been away on vacation. I’ve been lucky to also own two dogs of my own, most recently Puddles. I ensure that all pets feel safe and earn their trust through regular walks, consistent schedules for meal times, snacks and tons of playtime as well. I try to stay as active with pets as possible. Furthermore I have experience caring for senior dogs that need medications and have alternative potty methods. I am happy to provide excellent care for you and your pet at any age. I currently am a freelancer looking to change direction in my career so I have flexible availability and can be available for short notices at the moment. I can provide pet care from morning til evenings. I have experience with crate training but with Puddles I took him out on walks 2-3x a day and also let him have yard access with a secured fence 2-3x a day. Each client is different so as long as I have some basic directions I usually can adjust to each pet’s needs. I know building trust and safety for our pets is super important.
“Ican't say enough good things about karima! She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and always go above and beyond to make sure my dog, Bruno is well-exercised and happy. I especially love the daily updates and photos they send during the walk, which gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work."”
“Very nice lady. Was available last minute to help me walk my dog while being sick. Yuki enjoyed it very much. He came back exhausted which helped me get more rest. Will be rebooking her❤️ Thank you Kaitlyn”
“Melissa is practically part of the family at this point. Our golden girl absolutely loves her! We use her for weekly walks, drop in visits, and all out of town travel. She is always accommodating to our schedule and we are so lucky to have found her!”
About: I have experience with many animals from cats and dogs to snakes and lizards ! I have always loved every kind of animal and have 3 kitties of my own at home! I currently work a full time job that’s 4 days a week. I have an hour lunch break so can stop by during then if needed to check on the animal. Otherwise I can be there as much as wanted during the weekends I can scoop litter, feed pets in desired area, make sure water bowls are full and take long walks with your puppy or have them outside in a fenced area to play!
About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.
About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.
About: I've had multiple pets throughout my life so far and I loved every single one. I have experience with not just dogs but with other pets like cats, turtles, fish, and birds. As of late I have been expanding my knowledge in caring for pets with medical issues or disabilities. Also I have started grooming for dogs and it has been fun if anything. I am a reliable and an active person that will care for your pets as my own . I am observant and always reading the room so you can trust me to watch over your pet. I have 6 years of experience when it comes to caring for different kinds of pets. Walking dogs, house sitting, watching cats, drop ins and cleaning pets. If you have a set of rules and restrictions I will respect and abide by those rules. Feel free to contact me anytime you need me to watch, walk or play with your dog(s). I'm energetic and athletic so you won’t have to worry about me keeping up with your pets. My priority is to ensure your pet’s safety and reassure you that they are in good hands. I look forward to working with you and your pets! I will be working a flexible part time schedule that is close to home. I have ample time for drop-in visits, house sits and walks. I am flexible when it comes to making a schedule for your pets. When I’m in a clients home, I pay good attention to the pet I am caring for, utilizing their treats, toys and even dog/cat tv to ensure your furry companion feels safe and nurtured.

About: My name is Alexis and I am located in the Waldorf area. My love for dogs began when I was a toddler. My first love was an American Pitbull. I currently own a very stubborn ,silly, loving English Bulldog and sweet heart Rottie Mix who are crate trained with all commands. I can tell when dogs need rest, water, food or play time by their gestured and body language. I love challenges so if you think your dog is one to handle, I am the one for it. Dogs are the light of my life. I will keep your dog protected from all danger because I know how it feels to lose your best friend. I am a reliable, fun and careful sitter.

Katelyn takes great care of Maverick, and makes sure that he as an anxious pup does not get exposed to encounters with other dogs that will make him nervous. She also took great care of him when I was away for an extended time, making chicken and rice and being ready to call the vet if needed. Maverick loves her which gives me peace! I’ll always use her services when our schedules align.

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 Port Tobacco. 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Tobacco. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
