“Mark is an excellent dog walker, he took great care of Charlie for us. He was very sensitive to his needs, and was very skilled at handling him. We will gladly have him walk for us again.”
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.
“Christopher has been delightful. Just three walks so far, but we and our dog Bertie are looking forward to many more. Christopher listened attentively to our information about Bertie and asked insightful questions. Already Bertie is excited when Christopher arrives, and panting happily when they return.”
“Ben is always amazing. I have been using his boarding service and always had a great experience. This is the first time I traveled for 2 weeks and needed his help to walk my dog during that time. I cant say thank you enough for how much he loves and cares for my dog. He is a truely dog lover, very reliable. Chelsea remembered Ben right away and was so happy when he came to walk Chelsea.”
“Suyenti was nothing short of amazing. She stepped in last minute for me when another sitter was not working out, and took amazing care of my dog. It was nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry.”
About: I’ve had my own pets in the past and I love all sorts of pets! It brings me serotonin to be with my furry friends! I’ve pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family members! I will be working full time later this year and wanted to try out this fun side hustle to make extra cash and bring my serotonin levels up! My house has a big yard area! There’s a couple of parks nearby that are also perfect and I have a variety of pet snacks and toys!
“Denisse has been fantastic with our older dog! Very responsive and super accommodating. Our 50lb dog needs to be carried up/down the stairs and she handles that without issue and provides plenty of pictures, updates, and even gives our dog cookies.”
About: I’ve had several dogs growing up and now have my own 15-month old beagle, named Bagel. I’ve had Bagel for over a year now and have enjoyed every aspect of caring for him. We go on multiple walks a day, visit our local Bark Social, and attend puppy play dates with my friends’ dogs. I would love to care for more dogs so here I am! I walk my dog, Bagel, once in the morning and another time at night. Sometimes during lunch time too whenever time permits. On weekends, we typically meet up with other local dogs for play dates or go to our local Bark Social. I feed Bagel on a schedule to ensure his potty breaks are also on schedule. Bagel loves cuddles so I set aside different times throughout the day so cuddle with him. Bagel also sleeps in bed with me whenever he doesn’t want to sleep in his own bed (approximately 3-4 nights a week).
About: I have spent the best 12 years being a dog mom to my Shih-Tzu, who sadly passed away last year. I'm not in a place to own again, but I would love to take care of and be responsible for someone's pets. I've also pet-sit for less common animals, lizards, bunnies, and turtles. I have a very flexible schedule. I am lucky to have a lot of remote work opportunities on the weekdays, and I lead a very active lifestyle. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, offering plenty of attention, exercise, and love, while always prioritizing their safety and well-being.
“Sam was great with all three of my dogs - they all have different needs and instructions, and he executed them perfectly. They are very happy to see him and will be seeing him again very soon.”
About: I’ve been providing loving reliable pet care for over 12 years. I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to sit, feed, boarding and walk. Passionate about giving pets the love and care they deserve. Let me treat your furry family member like one of my own. Whether it’s for a walk around the block or full weekend of care. I can’t wait to meet your pup! Im currently working part time, so I’ll have time plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for sitting on weekends and weekdays after 6 pm. I provided care in your home, secure yard or neighborhood as that where your pet is most familiar and comfortable. Pet sitting drop in visits are recommended 2 - 4 times per day depending on on your pet.
“Simply a fantastic dog walker! She was available for my last minute request. Not only did Ashley walk my dog she also did extra, added more food, stimulated my dogs mind with a brain puzzle food game, changed her water and even made sure my fur baby didn't mess the floor. I am beyond satisfied. She was very caring, respectful and just overall trustworthy and on time. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone in need.”
About: I genuinely love animals and all of their different personalities. I’m the person who is going to talk to your dog, play with them, give them affection, and really pay attention to how they’re doing while you’re away. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m also a Reiki Master and have practiced Reiki with animals for about six years. I’ve found it can be especially calming for animals who are nervous, anxious, adjusting to a change in their environment, or simply missing their person. I’m also very intuitive and tend to notice the little changes in an animal’s behavior and energy. And if you have an active dog, I’m definitely your girl! I love being outside and going on long walks and nature trails. If your dog needs more exercise, I’m happy to run with them too. I can run up to three miles, so they can get some of that energy out before we head home. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that while you’re away, your fur baby is with someone who is going to genuinely enjoy spending time with them and treat them with lots of love and care. I currently work part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets and spend quality time with them. I’m an early riser, so morning walks and check-ins work great for me, and I also have flexibility throughout the day depending on my schedule. I love being active, so fitting walks, playtime, and outdoor time into my day comes naturally to me. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine because I know consistency is important, especially when their person is away. My goal is to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while they’re in my care. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. I understand that having someone new in their space can be an adjustment, so I’ll give them time to warm up to me and follow their cues. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else they need. I’ll also respect your home and make sure everything is secure when I’m coming and going. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is getting plenty of attention, affection, and good care.
About: Can’t promise any training but they’ll be loved and cared for under my care! Whether your dog may be dog aggressive or the most playful, I have experience with my own with different personalities. I currently work remote and have a flexible schedule to do some drop ins and quick hang sessions/walks with your fur babies Mon-Fri. While my kids are in school, I’d be happy to stop and care for your pet! My dogs are my 2 other babies and I’ll be sure to care for your pets with the same care and respect with any specific instructions if need be.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind from 12 years ago. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently part-time work from home, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets. I’m available for boarding and walking your pets Monday, Friday and weekend. I live in a single house within a quiet neighborhood, and I have one friendly old dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: Caring for animals has always been at the center of my life. My dog Milo and I grew together since childhood. We both learned from each other about patience, gentleness, and attention. I learned that every pet deserves these three points. He was my best friend for 13 years. I’ve cared for senior and special-needs dogs, administered medications, assisted with grooming, and handled all kinds of behaviors with positive reinforcement. Whether helping a nervous pet relax or keeping energetic dogs engaged, I focus on making every moment safe and fun, while building a strong, positive, and meaningful relationship. I’ve worked professionally with Wag!, completing over 250 walks with 5-star reviews among regular clients. I bring the same dedication to every pet I care for on Rover — giving them full attention, noticing the little details, and treating them like family. I’m fully available, happy to extend walks if your dog needs extra exercise, and I love engaging through fetch, tug, and calm companionship. Being part of the Rover community allows me to combine lifelong love for animals with hands-on care. I take pride in creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for every pet I meet! If you do let me be a good buddy with your best friend, I won’t ruin that trust. About Me: Favorite movies/TV/books 🎬 - Homeward Bound, Air Bud, Shiloh, A Dog’s Journey, The Secret Life of Pets, Scooby-Doo, Bolt, The Call of the Wild, Superman, Batman Hobbies 🎨🎸- Skiing, Hiking, Photography, Tennis, Music Pets at home - Pet care is my primary focus, and I maintain a flexible, open schedule that allows me to give pets consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs, including last-minute requests and extended stays, depending on availability. I don’t overbook or divide my attention, which helps ensure pets receive the calm, dependable care they deserve. Reliability is extremely important to me. I have a 100% acceptance rate and zero no-shows, and when I commit to caring for your pet, you can trust that I will be present, prepared, and fully attentive. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals are always supervised and treated like family. I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with quick access to grassy areas for walks and potty breaks, along with a balcony for fresh air and relaxation. I also have access to fully fenced yards and other open spaces, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy extra space to explore and play safely. My home is cozy and welcoming, with comfortable couches and beds where pets are encouraged to settle in and feel at ease. I take pride in creating a warm, stress-free environment — especially for pets (and pet parents) who may be new to Rover. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home while giving you complete peace of mind.
About: Dogs are just wonderful. I just don’t have the right words to explain how special they are and how much I love them. I and my family have owned several dogs in the past and I have taken care of others’s dogs. Due to the immense joy dogs have always brought me I still want them in my life. I have a very open, flexible, schedule, as I am a substitute teacher. I would not be working a full day when and/or if I do work, and I am a five minute drive from work. It can fit very easily into routine. I live in a condo building with much open space to walk my dog. There are many dogs in my bldg. I live in a big two bedroom apartment.

from the start, Jessica had great communication. I got her for my sister who was watching my clog in her area. She sent all Reports directly to my sister. my sister was very happy for her first time with a walker. I will definitley keep Jessica when my sister takes dog. Spero was so happy.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience! They were reliable, caring, and clearly treated my dog like their own. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands, and I loved getting updates along the way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!
Christopher was excellent and was able to help with our last minute request. He was punctual, communicative and made sure to walk for agreed upon times. Otis loved his visits and he was careful to watch and ensure a good pace for an older dog. He also made sure to provide plenty of water and good reports of any potty breaks or other notes.
Jenny has been walking our dogs for a few weeks now. She is amazing with them, caring and patient and they really enjoy their walks with her. Jenny provides a stellar service, has been very accommodating, keeping good communication and we feel our dogs are safe and happy when she comes see them. We couldn’t recommend her more and of course we’ll keep working with her. Thank you!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Rockville is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $67 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Rockville. 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 Rockville 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 Rockville. 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.
