“Katherine was super communicative and took great pictures of our Dog Bella on her daily walks and left wonderfully detailed reports. It really put my mind at ease to get her walk alert and updates every day. She also met with us first for a meet and greet and asked a lot of wonderful questions, some I didn’t even think about.”
“Sandi was able to step in for me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more grateful. It’s clear that Sandi is an experienced dog walker in the area and knows just where to take the dogs so they can play and have fun. Thank you Sandi!”
“Victor was great! We needed a Rover at the last minute during the holiday season and he was available. He met up with us the same day to go over everything and communicated the entire time we were out of town. We came back to a very happy dog! We can’t thank him enough and will definitely try to book again if he’s available.”
“Jazmine was amazing taking care of my dog, Teddy. She was very flexible and understanding, even with a short-notice request. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy walker for their pet. Thank you so much, Jazmine!”
About: I like most, have been around fur babies most of my life. Ive been walking and sitting since 2014. They give the best snuggles and emotional fulfillment that you just can't get anywhere else. Im experienced with medication needs and special requirements if there are any physical issues or injuries that l need to keep an eye on. Ive been sitting Regularly for the past 9 years and its given me the opportunity to work with so many different breed, personalities from 10lb biscuits to 144lb bundles of pup. I always strive to create and maintain a strong sense of family with every animal I meet. I also don't mind any to-do lists during the sit either with the Fur babies or the House. I like to say that Im full service if the need arises I work full time with a dog walking company at the moment but my availability for sitting request can be either adjusted or a none issue on a case by case basis Yes for the last 14yrs I have house sat at the clients location over night or potty/check in when scheduled with very good client satisfaction upon there return.
“Rachel was awesome with my two dogs. She sent lots of photos and was super helpful cleaning up after one of the pups ate a pillow and left feathers all over the living room.”
About: My partner Grace and I both absolutely love animals and are happy every chance we get to spend with them! ** it is important to note that we can only board male dogs. there is more information about this in the information about our rescue dog that would be helpful to read if you are interested in boarding services:) ** I have been caring for pets and kiddos since I was 10 years old. I grew up in Vermont where I learned to love the outdoors. I love taking pups on hikes with me where they get to explore a new place and feel like they're on vacation while away from their families. I have volunteered for animal shelters since I was a young child and have been around all sorts of animals. Giving medications and paying special attention to dogs who need extra care is something I have experience in and am very comfortable doing. Both Grace and I work full time from home and love to take frequent breaks in our backyard with our dog. It’s a great way to break up the day and keep everyone happy! We do both volunteer as EMTs in Maryland, and because of this have some night shifts. Most nights during the week at least one of us is home. We can always shift schedules around to make sure that all of the pets we care for are taken care of and happy. We have a two story home with a fully fenced back yard. Our neighborhood is very close to some hiking trails that we love taking the dogs to. Pets are allowed on furniture here, and are treated like part of the family!
“Hired for two walks, 30 min each. The first was fine. The second she came and went in 16 minutes and said she “made it a quick one because she had walked my dog earlier.” Huh? Not sure what that was about….”
“This was the first time I booked Natalia to walk my pup. She was very easy to coordinate with and sent me a couple of photos of their walk. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I have my darling golden English cocker spaniel who just turned 9 and I am a huge dog person. I see them as actual babies. I’m a college student on summer vacation, so I have a lot of free time to walk and take care of a lot of dogs Keeping an eye on them, I’m very observant of certain objects or foods or anything dangerous and I love to keep dogs engaged and happy.
About: I have grown up/taken care of various pets ever since I could remember. I am serious about the health and hygiene of any and all pets. I am at home 5-7 days a week and readily available to be mobile if need be! I do have a 4 year old son, but he is in pre-k full time and low maintenance enough for me to give proper attention to all. I care for those in a nurturing + attentive way. There is a lot of room outside for any dog to run around. We have a crate on hand if requested for certain pets.
About: I believe it is not only that I like dogs - I believe dogs like me. Dog walker out of Manor Park, NW DC I'm a lifelong dog person. I grew up with Labs and I have had dogs of my own throughout my life as an adult. I am an active person who is not shy about the weather. Rain, snow, and heat don't bother me, and your dog gets a proper walk regardless of the forecast. I come from the school of thought, "there is no bad weather, just bad gear choices." What you can expect: I'll arrive on time, follow your routine (leash, route, treats, any quirks), and send you a photo and short update after each walk. I also dabble in photography, so you'll get good pictures of your pup. Normally I travel with a bag of kibble to give the dogs a small treat at the end of our walk. The dogs really seem to enjoy the treats. I'm happy to do a free meet-and-greet first so your dog and I can get to know each other. Where I walk: Manor Park and nearby neighborhoods, with Rock Creek Park and local parks for longer walks. Midday weekday walks are my specialty, and I'm flexible on days and times. The walk destination usually depends on the location of the house that the dog lives. When in Silver Spring I normally migrate to the closest neighborhood park or Sligo Creek. It all depends on a combination of location and duration of the walk. About me: Just over a year as a professional dog walker on top of my spend with my dogs and the family dogs. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm active, outdoorsy, and reliable, and I treat every dog's walk like it's my own. Currently working part time. The job is flexible so I have good availability. Also - since I am only working part time. Dog walking will be my second job - I will prioritize it as my job. Your pet's health and well being are priority one. I am strong and healthy and keeping your dog safe and under my control is Priority One. When walking I am alert to my surroundings, always in tune with the variables around me. Watching how the dog responds to the world around them. Anticipating and avoiding any dangers or potential conflict. For boarding - my yard is fenced in and I live walking distance to a wonderful park. My house is casual / dogs are allowed on furniture.
About: I have had 3 years of experience with mostly dogs. Not including the 10 dogs I grew up with. Can give baths, walks, meditation and I am very structural with meals and bed times. Im new to rover but am very curious and excited. I love all furry Babies; young, old, sick, or healthy they’ll receive care and attention. I’m a full time student and i am available most dates, but just let me know 48 hours before. Weekends are Guaranteed for my availability. Big back yard but not fenced. Surrounded by open fields but am quite a distance from any busy roads. Pet proofed from and clean from any small objects your pets might find interesting.
“Carmen was great. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking and pivot when needed. We agreed on walks so to ensure her current guest dog’s needs were also met. I really appreciate her promptness and how well she took care of Oreo! Will use her again and recommend to others. Thanks Carmen!”
About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.
“Mandy was super accommodating. My dog is reactive around strangers but she took to Mandy from the get-go. They had two pleasant walks and Mandy provided pictures and a report each time. I will not hesitate to ask for her services again.”
About: Over the last several years I have been the go-to person for friends and family to watch their animals when traveling or out of town. I am a lover of all animals, and am willing to do whatever is needed for each animal to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and safe. I am very comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, and comfortable with medications as well. I’m a 4th year medical student with some spare time especially in the evenings and on weekends with love to give to animals while their parents are away. I have access to a dog park and walking trails at my place, and love to take dogs on longer walks if they need it. I’m quick to respond and always happy to provide updates on how your pets are.

Landy walks our dog twice a week and we’re so happy to have found her! She walks another dog in the neighborhood and coordinated it so that the two get to socialize, walk together, and play in the yard together for a bit. She is also very communicative, reliable, and takes a bunch of pics.
Menna has been a wonderful dog walker for Charli. She is always on time, communicates clearly, and keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind. Most importantly, she is kind, patient, and caring with Charli, who clearly enjoys spending time with her. We highly recommend Menna to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!
Nicole was fantastic with our lil’ girl - Candy loved Nicole the instant she met her! She was very conscientious with questions, followed instructions to a t, and provided great feedback after each walk. We will definitely hope to book Nicole again in the future if need be!
Tyler Jade was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and made the entire experience easy and stress free. I really appreciated her care and flexibility, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!
Jack has taken great care of our two dogs. He came to our house to do a meet and greet, followed all our instructions, and made sure our dogs got a good walk while we were gone all day. He has walked them multiple times and has been very dependable and communicative.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Silver Spring is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 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.

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 Silver 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 Silver 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 Silver 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.
