Moxie enjoyed your company and attention and I was able to complete a business transaction without the distraction of worrying about Moxies's welfare. Good Job!”
About: I grew up with a cat and am familiar with administering medication to cats. Although I have never owned a dog, I have cared for family members and friends dogs for multiple weeks at a time. I have experience house sitting with two large dogs - one of which had diabetes. I am very comfortable admitting shots and medications. I am an avid animal lover and understand the importance of caring for your animal! I have a hybrid work schedule and I am in office Tuesday - Thursday. I have a lot of flexibility on weekends and Mondays and Fridays for drop in visits and walks. I understand pets may be hesitant to greet me or engage upon my arrival. I am willing to follow any necessary instructions to make sure your pet is comfortable with me.
“Gianna started walking my dog weekly about a month ago. I went back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to hire someone given my dog’s reactivity on walks. I could not be happier with our choice to have Gianna!! She is responsible, communicative, patient and kind. My dog is noticeably happier when I get home, and it feels like a huge weight is off our shoulders to know he is being cared for by someone who cares for and loves him like I do. I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Jeannie was absolutely fantastic. We weren’t able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, but she took the time to ask so many thoughtful and important questions ahead of the visit. Because of that, she came to the house completely prepared and already had a great understanding of Steve Harvey and his routine. Her communication was first-class from start to finish. The updates, pictures, and follow-up gave me complete peace of mind, and I’m especially grateful that she was able to help us on such short notice. The next time Steve Harvey needs a walk, I won’t hesitate for a second to call Jeannie again. Highly recommend her!”
“Our pup loved having Anton visit and walk her while we were out of town! We also had a neighbor drop things off which he brought inside for us. We will definitely have him help us again with our pup. Thank you, Anton!”
About: I have many years experience with pets including volunteering for a dog rescue in my youth as well as owning pets myself. I have a 19 year background in healthcare but I love playing with and cuddling dogs/cats so I’m looking for that extra work and time with pets. I’m responsible and on time. I can administer medicine and prepare food if needed. I can also take your pet to the vet/groomer. I love hikes. I’m available Monday’s, Thursday’s, Saturdays, and Sunday. On Monday’s and Thursday’s I’m available from 9am-3pm and weekends I can do 8am-7pm. More days to come depending on need. Looking forward to meeting your furry babies. I’m currently working part time, So I’m available to walk or visit your pets on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Looking forward to hearing from you. I prefer to take care of pets in your home. I will crate train and can do light cleaning. I can walk your pet(s) and administer medication and/feed. I will also transport your pet to the vet/groomer.
“Shreejaya is incredibly kind and helpful with walking our dog and checking in on our cat. She is just the best and we really appreciate her! Highly recommend if you’re looking for pet sitting, dog walking, etc.”
“Tyler did a great job with Brodie while we were away! She was communicative, reliable, and took great care of him. We really appreciated the updates and knowing Brodie was in good hands. We’d definitely book with her again! 😊”
“Alena is very personable, responsible and flexible. She came to walk Bentley while I was at work and did a great job! If I had to pick a prototype of an ideal pet sitter, it would be her.”
About: I think what sets me apart is that your dog will really become part of our household while they're here. I'm only away at work one day a week, and my wife works from home most days, so someone is usually around. I'm also a registered nurse. So I'm very comfortable, following detailed instructions, keeping schedules, getting medications and noticing when something seems off. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. I've had and cared for dogs since I was a child, so caring for them has been part of my life for more than 25 years. I'm currently working one day a week and at home studying the rest. I'm usually in town most weekends and holidays. Since I'm home so much, it's easy for me to fit in walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention to your dog into my day. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm happy to stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine. I have a completely fenced-in yard with plenty of space to run around and play, and I don't have any dogs of my own at this time. Dogs will be supervised while outside, and I can crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I have tons of Kongs, chew toys, enrichment, games, and treat mats to keep your dog engaged, but I'm also perfectly happy to have a lazy couch potato hanging out with me while I study! I always keep fresh water available and give regular potty breaks. I'll follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I'll adjust their activity and care based on their personality, age and energy level. And of course, I'll send you updates and pictures so you know how they 're doing.
About: At little bit about me, I am a graduate student studying occupational therapy and finishing in December. I have dog walked and house sat animals for the past 15 years and absolutely love it!. I have been lucky enough to grow up with a dog until recently I rescued a puppy of my own:) She is very playful, high energy, and loving so I understand the importance of good walk and exercise! I feel that a happy and behaved dog is a well exercised dog which is why I would love the opportunity to play and tire your dog out! I have high standards for my dog so I hold the same standards of myself shen taking care of orher's dogs. I am very reliable, timely, and hard working so I will always give your dog my undivided attention whenever I am with him/her! I love animals and cannot imagine my life without them! When I am out I am always worrying about my dog being alone, so I want to give you the peace of mind not worry about the care I am providing. Look forward to meeting you and your sweet pup!
“Kirstie is great with both our dog and cat. She knows animals well and they were happy and comfortable with her from the first meeting. She’s reliable and communicates well. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of my husband’s family’s 3 cats for over five years now. They have made me fall in love them. We finally took the plunge in two years ago and adopted our own fur baby, a little tuxedo cat named Winnie! I also volunteer at the local animal shelter, providing love comfort and help to animals looking for their new forever homes. I love playing with dogs and taking them on nice long walks! Please note, I am not taking on recurring services at the moment. I would be happy to take a dog on a nice exercise walk at the end of the day, potentially with some toys to play with too! I would love to sit with your cat and give it some nice brushes and mice to chase. On Rover, I have taken care of cats, dogs, a bird and a horse. I am really open to any furry friend that needs some company! Your pet is my pet. I ensure the safety and security of your pet as if it is my own. Feel free to share other information that makes you feel most comfortable🙂
“We had such great luck with Jennifer walking our giant girl! She handled our Irish Wolfhound's excitement so well and was comfortable using commands to try and wrangle her. We would definitely use her services in the future!”
About: I'm a teacher of 23 years and caring for cats during vacation times ! I always take pictures and update families how the cats are doing! I work in my classroom, right now! I help cat owners after work or on the weekends ! I’m very flexible! Look forward to hearing from you! Most families give me a cheat sheet for me to follow !

Alissa is so great with our energetic and playful pup, and he absolutely adores her! She always helps us when we are in a pinch, and we’re so grateful to have found her. She’s responsible, communicative and conscientious. And very competent with all our dogs’ quirky behaviors!
Jeannie was absolutely fantastic. We weren’t able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, but she took the time to ask so many thoughtful and important questions ahead of the visit.

Julia, I want to thank you for stepping up and helping us when another walker had a family emergency starting the first day of the booking. Moxie enjoyed your company and attention and I was able to complete a business transaction without the distraction of worrying about Moxies's welfare. Good Job!
My dog can be very selective when meeting new people, so finding the right caregiver is especially important to me. From the very first meeting, it was clear that my dog genuinely liked her and felt comfortable around her, which immediately put me at ease. She was prompt, thorough, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. Her calm, confident manner and genuine affection for animals really stood out. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and would happily book with her again. Highly recommended!
Juliana was such a life saver. My older parents adopted a dog and needed help with walking him. She was there each morning with a smile to take the little guy out. We were so sad when her work schedule changed and she couldn't make it anymore. We were grateful for the walks she was able to do with Cosmo!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Sandy Spring is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $24 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,673 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sandy Spring. 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 Sandy Spring. 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 Sandy Spring 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 Sandy Spring. 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.
