“Tonya was great with our dog! Great communication. She let us know when she arrived and took photos so that we could see how happy our girl was. We would definitely book again with her!”
“Jennifer has done a great job walking my pup, taking pics, and keeping me updated on his potty breaks :) She also has been very easy going as I have requester her last minute a few times. I definitely recommend!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dog! He always wants to go on walks but can’t always make it the whole way around the block. Amber noticed when he needed a break and lovingly picked him up and carried him until he was ready to walk again. She was so gentle and attentive. She truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and thoughtful walker!”
About: I just haven’t met them yet! Your furry bestie is going to have the time of their lives when I take care of them. I am very reliable and responsible. I have experience with all types and personalities and I can’t wait to meet your hairy besties! I have almost all weekdays between 9-2 to take care of your pets! I am also available for weekends and night, just reach out and I will make it work. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a lovely dog park, and walking trails. Your pet will feel right at home enjoying the trails and trees.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night. My approach to pet care is rooted in two things: a lifelong love for animals and a professional commitment to reliability. Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in sixth grade, I am now a sophomore in college and I am looking to expand. I have had many animals my whole life, including dogs, guinea pigs, a bunny, fish and more. I have always advocated for proper care and exercise of animals and vouch to care for others animals the same way I do my own. I work a part time job at a coffee shop with shifts that usually last 4-8 hour. I have always been able to make pet care work with this schedule especially if the families live close enough. My usual routine for my current clients includes visiting once around 7:30 am, again around 11-12, coming back for dinner from 5-6 and then once more right before bedtime depending on the pet. I always make sure the animals space is clean and tidy so they are not sitting in their filth while I am gone. I refill water every time I leave and check food depending on the owners schedules. I usually spend about 30 minutes per visit with the animal to ensure they get all of their energy out and are properly cared for before I head back out but of course this varies for every one. I can take dogs for walks or play with them outside in a yard. I stick to the schedule the family provides with of course a little variation due to my work schedule but this is made known before taking a job!
About: Charleston local with a passion for animals and extensive experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with German Shorthair Pointer, Gretchen, and a Springer Spaniel named Molly. My mother had a 20 pound schnoodle, Henry, who stays with me 2-3 times a week. My place is on 12 acres of land on Wadmalaw Island, a doggy paradise for breeds that require extensive off-leash exercise and freedom. I work from home and can be flexible, ensuring that pets get all the care, attention and exercise needed to ensure the are as happy as possible while their owner is away I live on 12 acres where dogs can be off leash if allowed. At a client’s home I’m happy to provide any care necessary for a pet
“Vanessa does a wonderful job and takes great care with my Great Pyrenees. (Cooper). She is a life saver in that while I am at work she comes by and spends time walking him during the middle of the day. She provides pictures, updates, and looking at them Cooper looks very happy. I would recommend to anyone,”
About: I have experience with all dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes from dog walking, in-home dog sitting, daily check-ins for potty breaks during the work week or while you’re away on vacation. I am an ICU nurse who works 3 days a week so I am available up to 4 days a week depending on my schedule! I am very flexible. I live in a house with a large fenced in backyard for your dog to play in and have easy access to go outside and use the bathroom. I also have a nice back deck with a screened in porch for any pooches who like to sunbathe!
About: Hi, I’m Sandi! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve spent years rehabilitating and helping stray animals of many different species, along with caring for my own pets, including senior cats with strict medication schedules. Because of that experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, playtime, special feeding instructions, or simply a familiar routine, I take those responsibilities seriously. When caring for your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail that I would expect for my own. I can provide pet feeding, medication administration, litter box maintenance, mail and package collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, home check-ins, and regular updates (with pictures included) so you always know your pets and property are doing well. You’ll be happy to know that I’m often praised for my problem-solving abilities and excellent communication. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment for both pets and homeowners. I know that trust is everything in this line of work, and I work hard to earn it. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with kindness and your home with respect, I’d love to connect and see how I can help make your life easier! Thanks for reading. Chat soon :) Animal care has been part of my everyday life for years. My flexible schedule allows me to be available during times when many sitters are not, including daytime hours, extended visits, and last-minute care needs when availability permits. Because I spend much of my time working from home and managing my own schedule, I can provide a higher level of attentiveness, communication, and consistency than someone limited to evenings and weekends. This flexibility is especially beneficial for senior pets, pets requiring medication, or animals that thrive with extra companionship and routine. Providing dependable, compassionate care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule. It’s something I intentionally make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise and enrichment preferences, and any household guidelines provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, water intake, litter box habits, and overall well-being so that I can quickly recognize any changes that may need attention. For cats especially, I understand how important routine and a low-stress environment can be. I maintain a clean and secure environment by keeping food and water areas tidy, cleaning litter boxes regularly, ensuring doors and windows remain secure, and removing any obvious hazards. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and can assist with mail collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, and general home check-ins. Communication is a top priority. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care while they’re away. I never view pet sitting as simply feeding and leaving.. I spend quality time interacting with each pet so they receive companionship, enrichment, and attention in addition to their basic care needs.
About: I’ve had family pups for the past 30 years. Each one deeply loved and cared for as one of my children. I have also taken care of friends and family’s pets over the years. I am a registered nurse, looking to fill my free time with pet sitting. I am available for all day sitting, overnights, or just daily walks. I have 2 senior dogs, so I do not offer pet sitting in my home, but will be happy to stay at your home to care for your pets. I will walk your pups at least twice a day, and keep them company in your absence if desired.
About: My skill sets range from watching 10 week old puppies to raising our family dog who is now an 80lb husky. I also am very comfortable with caring for cats as I grew up with my family cat for many years. I genuinely enjoy spending time with fur babies of all kinds, even though I don’t have any of my own. I am very experienced in overnight stays, walks, and just drop-ins as needed. Even though I currently do not have any pets of my own, I have lived with multiple past roommates who had pets. I work from home with a very flexible schedule making my availability extremely open on a daily and weekly basis. I do occasionally travel for work, but that will be communicated well in advance. Even though I do not have any pets of my own, my current living situation does not allow for me to watch your pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to do overnight stays with your fur baby. I am extremely respectful of your expectations (home, belongings, etc.) and will ensure your pet and space are treated with the utmost care and respect!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with both younger and older pets. This past summer, I cared for two dogs and two cats for a week, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. I also helped train my two puppies in 2024, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and basic training. In addition, I’ve helped care for my grandparents’ older dog, so I understand the patience and attention senior pets need. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My boyfriend and I moved to Charleston this summer! He has an internship from 10-6:30 during the week, and my internship is from home. I also have a part time job, but I will be home during the week a lot. We also are home pretty much every evening. We both love dogs! I have two dogs back home and both have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. Our apartment area has a really nice spot to walk dogs. I always prioritize safety and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific needs. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for whether I’m in your home, they’re in mine or I’m checking in on them.
About: Hi, I’m Kiana. I’m energetic, fun, and creative. I love animals and would like to paint them while I’m watching them. I’m a watercolor and acrylic artist and poet. I recently lost a beloved dog of 15 years in our home and life feels a lot emptier without a pet to play with and go on walks. I would be thrilled to meet your pet and give it the love and attention it deserves. During your pet’s stay with me or an overnight visit in your own home, you can expect that I will play with your pets with their favorite toys after taking them out on a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. You can expect at least 3-4 walks, and photo updates from me. When they seem adequately tired, I’ll take out my watercolor paints and do my best to capture them while they are still. You have the option of purchasing anything you like later. Otherwise, it was still time spent having fun. I look forward to meeting your furry companions. I am a self-employed illustrator/graphic designer. I’ll have time for pet-sitting most days or times kf the day and in any weather. I love to walk long distances and can handle dogs with high energy! I have no pets in my home currently, but I do sometimes care for my parents’ two large dogs and my sister’s two weenies when needed. The big dogs are very energetic and active, so I take them for very long walks and sometimes bring them to county parks nearby. The weenies tire out when walking, so I enjoy bringing a wagon with me in case they need a lift. I used to own two cats with my ex, but he owns them now. When I did own cats, I had a good understanding of their dietary needs and mental stimulation needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,570 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rockville. 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 Rockville. 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 Rockville.
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 Rockville. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
