“We are so happy that we found Alicia! She is timely, friendly, super professional, and a fantastic communicator during her time with our pup who became a fan of hers very quickly! We will definitely be using her services in the near future and would recommend her to everyone!”
“Christine is great with the dogs. I needed help because I had foot surgery and can’t walk them, and she walked them when my husband went on a business trip. The pups were so excited to see her each day! We would request Christine again in the future”
“Suzanne F has been a wonderful dog walker. Penny is eager to see her every time she shows up at our door. We are happy that Suzanne can handle Penny's occasional hard pulling and takes her for long walks to burn off enough energy so that Penny can relax when she returns to our apartment.”
“Sam B is a delight to work with. She was totally at ease with my pups and they took to her immediately. She communicated with me every step of the way and sent me a few pictures to boot. I can comfortably recommend Sam for all your pet care needs. Phil K”
About: I've had pets my whole life, so I understand what they need to feel safe and happy. I live with two dogs and have experience caring for a variety of animals from large dogs to guinea pigs. As a high school graduate, my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a part time job but I am available most of the day to care for your animals. I only care for pets in a clients home. I would respect all household rules and give your pet my full attention making sure to care for them with kindness.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2. I have looked after dogs, cats, and guinea pigs of various ages since 12. I love caring for pets and have a dog of my own! I also volunteer at animal shelters when I have the chance. I’m working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet! During summer I will especially have loads of availability. I have a crate trained dog who is very friendly and can keep your pet company. I have a spacious apartment but am flexible to take care of your pet wherever!

Compassionate, reliable, and dedicated to providing tailored care for every puppy needed I’m a full-time student with lots of free time to care for your pups! I am available weekdays after 4 PM and all day on weekends. I ensure a safe environment by removing hazards, supervising playtime, and following your pet's routine.

About: I have several years of experience providing dependable and compassionate pet care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have cared for both small and large adult dogs through regular walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am comfortable handling energetic, strong dogs as well as senior dogs that require a gentler approach. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while they are away.
“Marina is very very good with dogs - and with dogs of all ages. At one point I had 5 dogs in my house and she was fantastic. She walks and trains or she plays with them when doing a drop in!”
About: Thank you for considering me. I’ll treat your dog as a member of my own family. I have experience with dogs who have medical or speacial limits. I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have experience with other pets such as cats, snakes, rabbits, lizards, and fish. I love sending you photo updates on your pet. I do understand that the pets decide whether or not to accept someone as a sitter. I hope to get to know your amazing pets, just as well as you do. Thank you. I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently investing myself in education, and preparation for an apprenticeship. Giving time to pet care would be a highlight to my day. Although this was originally created for sitting I am more than confident in walking your dog. I would love to know what training your dog may already have so that I can work with it, rather than against it. If your dog has no training, perhaps we could practice some walking skills together
“Brian took great care of my girl, Lemon! He made sure the plan for Lem was super clear beforehand, which I especially appreciated since the schedule I gave him to complement my friend's visit schedule was not perfectly regular, and he didn't miss a visit! He also had to deal with a terrible cold spell, but when he couldn't walk Lemon for more than 5 minutes at a time (about all she can tolerate when it's that cold), he took her for two short walks to make sure she did all her business and then played ball with her in the house. We came home to a dog who, while happy to see us, was clearly doing just fine without us, which is all I can ask for :)”
About: I grew up with a bunch of pets. I always have had at least one dog or cat. I love spending time with all animals!! I have a very flexible schedule - I work remote Mondays through Fridays.

About: As a lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of pet-sitting experience, I know your dog is more than just a pet—they're family.

I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and needs, including senior, blind, deaf, and anxious pups. From special diets to extra snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at ease. If you’re looking for someone who’ll care for your dog like you do, let’s chat! Send me a message to set up a meet-and-greet. I'm self-employed and I work from home, so I've got an extremely flexible schedule for your pet care needs. I'm happy to come any time of day or night, and can provide more intensive care for tiny pups and elderly dogs as well. I specialize in overnight care and am also available on weekends. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I make sure they feel completely at ease in their environment, keeping their routine consistent with regular walks, playtime, and feeding. Building trust is at the heart of my approach, and I do this through attentive care and open communication. You’ll always be in the loop with regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands!

About: My name is Bob, and I have been a dog owner for over 8 years, currently owning two energetic pups, Ellie and Watson! My wife works from home, so someone is almost always home, unless we all go ot in the evening! Our kids are 12 and over, and we all love spending time not only with our dogs(and cats!), but meeting new ones as well. Our rescue dogs, Ellie(18 month old female Australian Shepherd/Catahoula) and Watson(1 year old male Schnauzer/Terrier) enjoy spending time playing in the yard together when weather is nice, or horsing around together inside. They love socializing and playing at the dog park too, so having a 'play date' would be good fun for them! We have free access to water at all times, toys to play with, and healthy treats, if allowed by visiting pets' owners. Feedings for our dogs happen twice a day at 8 am and 5 pm; arrangements could be made regarding your pet's feeding needs, depending on time of day, and length of stay. Walks, playing, and lots of attention guaranteed! We can be flexible to meet your needs; please ask.

I am available to give dog walks/pet visits between 9am and 2pm Monday through Friday. Happy to walk your pup in your neighborhood or play with them in your backyard! Happy to keep your cat company while making sure they are fed and cleaned up after. I am very responsible, trustworthy and punctual.

We are so happy that we found Alicia! She is timely, friendly, super professional, and a fantastic communicator during her time with our pup who became a fan of hers very quickly! We will definitely be using her services in the near future and would recommend her to everyone!
Maggie is terrific!! See you clearly loves dogs and was fantastic with mine. She was reliable, flexible and went above and beyond. I was actually home because I have an injury and cannot walk my dogs right now and she was kind enough to even go get me something from the store. I would definitely call upon Maggie again.
Ugo does an exceptional job walking my pup (who apparently considers humans to be her butlers) and then watering and feeding her at the conclusion of the walk. She is very calm and gentle to which my dog responds well. She is definitely a dog whisperer. Highly recommend Ugo to care for your for babies.
Erin was fabulous. She was attentive during the meet and greet, was flexible on trying different combinations of walking and yard time, and gave excellent feedback- which I was able to share with another Rover sitter who was helping on additional days during our trip. I especially like the map of the walk. That is very helpful to me as the dog owner to gauge the level of activity. I highly recommend Erin
Casey showed good reviews on Rover! I am happy to reinforce those reviews. Casey is a personable, knowledgeable, kind and caring person about dogs. She has had the privelidge of caring for my special friend because she has earned it and deserves high accolades. I am grateful for Casey in caring for my beloved Labrador. you can't go wrong with her care.
Jackie has been great with our dog June! Our regular dog walker moved away last minute and we were scrambling to find someone to help us out. Jackie has been a godsend! She is reliable, proactive, responsive, and takes our dog for long walks! We would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog walker :)
We are so glad we found Emily! She has been a consistent dog walker for our pup when we’re both working in the office. Our dog is a bit anxious, but she warmed up to Emily quickly and now loves when she sees her for her walks! Emily is responsive, punctual, friendly, and even sends us photos from her time with our pup. Highly, highly recommend Emily!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Riderwood on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Riderwood. 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 Riderwood.

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 Riderwood. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
