About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Over the years, I've cared for a Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Chocolate Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also been the trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat all pets like they were my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Because I have plenty of availability, your pet will receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care you can count on. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, and I'll always do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. Many dogs are happiest in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That's why I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care in your home while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. While you're away, I'll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular photo and message updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.

Zosha did an excellent job! He was on time… even for the early morning walks. He walked Bella twice per day for 4 days. Bella was waiting at the door for him and was happy to see Zosha. He had good “command” of Bella and at the same time was playful and affectionate. I highly recommend Zosha and will contact him the next time we need a dog walker.

Today was our first time meeting Seth - very nice guy and super well versed in animal care and bigger dogs like my boy, Ghost. Knew exactly how to handle Ghost’s excitement and occasional stubbornness. Informative and willing to work with my schedule and even help out with training!! Can’t wait for Ghost to have a new best friend while I’m busy at work (:

Let me tell you about Cleo’s best friend Monique!!!! I went on a last minute trip and had to leave Cleo behind for the first time. I was SO anxious and felt super guilty about leaving her alone. Monique was very diligent about showing up, sending reports, and following my tedious instructions about leaving the TV on/moving our coffee table for our roomba lol. I felt like she actually wanted to be there and love on Cleo. Cleo loves tug of war and Monique would play with her literally every time she visited and made sure she got her treat’o’s. I’m glad I don’t have to go through the trial and error process of finding our go to dog sitter for Cleo! I’ll be contacting her very soon for their next play date.

Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!

Trent is absolutely wonderful. He made going away for a weekend without our two large dogs stress free. Trent gave us detailed messages about how each of their walks went, followed all of our guidelines and it was easy to tell our dogs trusted him and enjoyed his company. He handled our reactive 80lbs dog with grace and ease. We would recommend him to anybody! One of the most reliable and easy experiences we’ve had with someone else caring for our pups. 10/10 would recommend!

Ari is AWESOME!! My dog Milo has terrible separation anxiety and is dealing with living in a new home. Ari spent so much time with him trying comfort and reassure him. After one day with her walking him he was barking and jumping on her when she walked in the door. She gives him cuddles, talks to him (which he loves) and hides treats for him so he will be busy for a while when she walks out the door. I would absolutely recommend Ari. :)

Michael was great! He came over to meet Daisy before her scheduled walk. He was on time, very friendly and asked good questions. He showed up on time the day of the scheduled walk and took care of Daisy. She seemed to really like him. I would definitely use him again and would recommend his services.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Strathmeade Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Strathmeade Springs on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 15,635 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Strathmeade Springs. 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 Strathmeade Springs. 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 Strathmeade Springs.

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 Strathmeade Springs. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
