“It's been so wonderful having Ruby walk my pup. I'm very protective over him and she has done a great job putting me at ease. She's always on time and responsive which is a huge deal for me. She handles all his crazy golden energy in stride. Highly recommend her.”
“Kelly was great with her drop in visit on my lab! She came at the time we had agreed on and event sent me a picture of my fur ball that brightened my day. She is full of energy which is a perfect match for my lab. I came home to a happy pup. We can't wait to use her services more in the future!”
About: I take care my sisters dog time to time. I had a pet for 10 years and gave it care and support. I am very patient. I am always available after work to dog sit and my weekends aren't super busy. I am reliable and will meet needs of clients. And work hard. I will give it love and support. I am patient and kind. I love taking walks. I have jogged a half marathon. I am friendly
About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.
About: Hello! I’m Bianca. I have over 4 years of professional pet care experience, and over 20 years of personal experience loving and caring for animals. I’m comfortable with animals of all age ranges, as well as all kinds of species and breeds. I also have plenty of experience with higher needs animals that require special care, and animals that require medication. If you’re looking for drop-in visits, walks, or an overnight sitter for your pets, I would love to see if I’m a good fit for them! I will try to stick as closely as possible to the routine they are used to, to ensure their comfort as much as I can. My schedule is completely open currently, so I am available to care for your babies at just about any time. I will be more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing. I completely understand that our pets are our families, and will do my best to make sure yours are as happy and healthy as possible in my care. Please feel free to reach out to me with anything! I’m happy to discuss pet care, questions, concerns, and anything else. I would like to make this process as stress-free for you and your animal(s) as possible. I hope to hear from you! Pet care is the main thing on my schedule, and my availability is wide open to care for your pet(s) whenever they need pet care. I will of course respect your home and property, and will try to stick as closely to your pet(s) typical schedule as I am able to.
“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”
“Excellent and reliable care! DAMACIA was available with short notice planning and ensured that Bear got everything he needed. She even made sure he got excellent care on the rainy day and bear, like most pups, is not a fan of the rain. I highly recommend DAMACIA and will book with her again when I’m looking for help!”
“Mary is wonderful. We have been using her for over a year now and couldn't be happier. Our girl just loves going on walks with her. She is prompt, kind and professional.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.
“My pup Lily absolutely loved VA and enjoys their time spent on walks. She is a very energetic dog and can be dog/leash aggressive and VA was great with handling her. Would definitely recommend using her services!”

Elizabeth took great care of my dog Rory. She communicates well and arrives on time to walk him. My puppy had diarrhea and Elizabeth helped clean it up, put the dirty towels in the laundry, and allowed me to not have to worry while I was at work. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rockville on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 2,320 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.

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
- 98% 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.
