Becca did a wonderful job. She was always on time and very good with our dog, Cooper. She was available on short notice which was truly appreciated.

About: Hi my name is Grace F. I've been around dogs and other animals all my life.I currently work at Merck in Millsboro but previously worked at Savannah Animal hospital, Humane Animal Partners, and walked dogs in NYC. I have experience with dog handling, dog walking, and doggy daycare. I've dealt with every size dog from my years of dog experience. And numerous ages. Ways you can stay in contact with me is through my cell phone or email. I am open to doing overnights, visits, and walks. I've worked with dogs with aggression towards other dogs before. I have experience with giving prescription medicine through pills and needles. I live in Easton, MD but am willing to travel. Any questions feel free to ask me :) I currently work at Merck in Millsboro so I can only do sittings on the weekends, but I usually work from 6am -2:30pm. Thank you I unfortunately can’t have any dogs at my home, I can only watch dogs from your home. But I will take the best care of your pets.

About: I am a college student looking for a part time job. I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl. I took care of the family and the neighbor's dog. I would feed, walk, and occasionally give them baths. I have always loved taking care of animals and would love to take care of your beautiful pets. I’m currently at UNG, I mostly have online classes and have a lot of free time when I’m not at work. I take care of my three dogs and I take them on walks everyday. When I come to your home, I will ensure that your puppy gets all the love it needs. I will feed the puppy if needed and make sure that the puppy will not run away.

About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have grown up with cats, dogs, and horses my whole life and have loved every moment of it. I started pet sitting for clients in my late twenties and really enjoy doing it. I have helped take care of cats, dogs, horses, and chickens (I know crazy!). They have ranged through all of the age groups. Clients seem to like me and have repeatedly asked me pet sit/house sit for them. Your pets are in great hands with me :) I am currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 8:00-5:00 but am available on the weekends. I am more than happy to stay at your house during the week but just know that I will be away from your animal during my work day but I can, if needed, go back to your house on my lunch break to take your dog for a walk or take care of any medication administration. I will usually ask you your pet's routine. When does he/she get fed in the morning? When do they go for their walk? Do they like playing outside? Favorite toy? When is dinner? I will stick to that routine so that your pet feels comfortable and happy when you are away. I will always ask if you need me to do anything around your house as well. I will water your plants for you, take out the trash/recycling, or get your mail. I am very tidy and will never leave a mess after I leave.

About: I have been a guide dog puppy raiser for the Seeing Eye since 2016 and was responsible for their general care, obedience, and socialization. I also have experience with our own rescue dogs and cats. A few summers ago, I worked at a dog boarding facility and provided general care for all different breeds of dogs. I would love to take care of your pet in your home so they are less stressed. I am also happy to provide dog walking and daily check-ins when you aren't able to be home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I am available on week days and weekends. The more lead time I have, the more flexible I can be. I will happily keep your pets on their daily schedule as you see fit. I am comfortable playing with the dogs in a fenced area or walking them on a leash.

About: My husband, William, and I have 7 years experience with raising high drive working dogs starting as young as 8 weeks. We feel well equipped to provide the highest level care for your furry loved one while maintaining any training goals. Your dogs comfort and safety is our highest priority so we will try to match your dogs schedule to the best of our ability. I am currently offering care on my days off allowing me the opportunity to have a flexible schedule to fit your dog’s needs during both week days and weekends. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard for your dog to have some safe off leash playtime. Your dog will be home with our residential dog, Duke, during their visit. Duke is an intact male Labrador, so if your dog is in heat, we will keep them separate. All dog gear (toys, water bowls, etc) will be thoroughly cleaned between dog visits to prioritize the health and safety of your dog.

This was our first time using Rebeka and she was phenomenal. Not only did she make arrangements at work to walk my dog super last minute but she was very sweet and conscious of my dog’s anxiety around other dogs. We will definitely be using her again! I have already referred her to family and friends.

About: Loving family for your furry friend. Walks and tummy rubs. We are located in the perfect walkabout town with beaches, dog park, and open spaces. Know that your furry family member will be well cared for in our home. Last minute or scheduled in advance. We accept them big and small. We just lost our beloved Zoey, our little shichon. If your pet prefers to chill alone there is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Stop by today for a meet and greet. We are a small family. We at the periwinkle bungalow in Oxford are at your service to make your life on the shore swell! I work from home. We like quiet mornings doing the crossword puzzle, usually cooking something yummy. We spend most of our time in the open kitchen living room space. Small home and pets are allowed everywhere except on my bed. Big yard and proximity to everything in a very quaint little town by the water. Our cats live upstairs on their own floor when we have guests, so no worries.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just basic pet care—I offer genuine companionship and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs structured walks or a senior dog who craves gentle attention and routine, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs. My background includes working with rescue dogs, administering oral medications, and handling multi-dog households with calm confidence. While growing up, I lived in a home with multiple dogs and have cared for many dogs around my community. I currently own four dogs, two miniature dachshunds, one cane corso and my senior german shepherd. I have spent many of hours training my dogs, especially the cane corso who was a tad reactive, and they are all doing great! I would love to continue helping out around the community to care for your companions. I am currently working a full-time job in Easton, MD from 9-4:30 Monday through Friday. I would be open for mornings, evenings, and weekends. Sometimes, I am totally able to pop out for lunch time walks if it’s in Easton and know ahead of time. I am pretty flexible! In my home, I have three dogs that are crate trained and one that roams the home. I currently have a fenced in yard for my dogs as of recently, but have many years of experience with leashed walks and leash training with my own dogs and client’s dogs.

Ruby came back so sleepy! Exactly what I want from an hour walk. Bridget asks good questions and gives you updates about how your dog is doing. She is very aware of her surroundings and making sure Ruby is able to have her best walk. Ruby is afraid of cars and kids- I heard Bridget praise and redirect Ruby when encountering a scary thing. She really cares about my dog and it is noticeable. 10/10- highly recommend!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 and can’t imagine life without them! While serving in the Navy, I volunteered at military kennels, and later worked at a doggy daycare/boarding/training facility in Texas. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets, and I share my home with a sweet 10-year-old lab and a 2-year-old Norwegian Forest Cat. Reliable, patient, and attentive — I promise to treat your pets like my own. I have a flexible schedule and lots of love to give! Whether it’s a quick walk or a cozy check-in, I’ll make sure your furry family members get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. During walks, I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure a fun and secure outing. For in-home check-ins, I follow all your instructions carefully, provide love and attention, and make sure your pets feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

Depending on the pet and owners permission I have the ability to bring my pets to the work with me in the veterinary hospital.

Cordova, MD, 21625

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I started high school. I grew up with dogs, cats and poultry and those are the animals I’ve taken care of most. I’m comfortable with senior care for sure but young puppies and extremely young kittens are outside of my comfort zone. I’m currently commuting to SU for this last semester and finishing off a major doesn’t allow for a lot of job opportunities that were available previously due to the amount of at-home work required. Pet sitting allows a lot more flexibility and brings the brain break of hanging out with fur babies to fit into the class work chaos. I currently have a cat of my own who stays with me as well as my childhood cat and dog who live with my parents. I’ve often pet sat for family and am comfortable with all ages except young puppies and very young kittens.

About: I have 7 animals of my own, both dogs and cats. I also work part time as a Kennel Technician so I am very familiar with different animal personalities and how I’m expected to care for them! Neighbors, friends, family & clients have relied on me to care for their furry friends and I’ve loved getting to know each one. I am pet CPR & First aid Certified. I walk for 3-4 houses around noon Monday- Friday as well as dog sitting overnights frequently. I am very flexible and will not have to spend long periods of time away from your pets. I work part time as a kennel tech and attend college. College is online so that won’t be a problem right now. My scheduled days can change but shifts are no longer than 6 hours at a time. I usually work every other day. I live in Queen Anne so I’m about the same distance to everyone. I have a few clients that I walk dogs for during the afternoon and am always on time! I will take wonderful care of your pets as if they were my own. My pups love to play outside and get lots of attention so I want to share the love!! It’s always fun getting to know your dogs and cats. I have built a trusted clientele over the last 2 years of being on Rover. I am very responsible and will care for your house just as well as your pets! I know it takes a lot to entrust someone in your home so I won’t let you regret it.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Royal Oak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 968 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Royal Oak. 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 Royal Oak. 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 Royal Oak.

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 Royal Oak. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
