About: Hi there. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to care for your pet. They’re a treasured member of your family, and you want to feel confident that they’ll be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve been caring for animals for around 20 years. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from shy and skittish to excited, playful, and fearful. Every animal has their own unique personality, and one of my favorite parts of this job is getting to know all the little details that make your pet who they are. Their routines, habits, favorite toys, funny quirks, and what makes them feel most comfortable all matter to me. When your pet is in my care, I tailor everything to their individual needs and follow your instructions closely. I’ll care for them as if they were my own and make sure they receive the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates, especially when your pet is being silly or cute, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy and in good hands. I’m physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and high-energy dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. For additional peace of mind, in addition to the Rover Guarantee, I also carry my own premium Pet Care and Liability Insurance. I look forward to getting to know your pet better and becoming the best of friends. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.

About: I am a local environmental science student with extensive experience in professional pet and house sitting. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I have provided dependable care for repeat clients since the age of 12. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your animals and can provide references upon request. I am a local college student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to commit to various shifts. I am generally available to work during evenings and on weekends. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my availability aligns with your current needs.

To ensure both you and your pets are comfortable, I typically offer a pre-visit to meet in person. This allows us to discuss your specific care instructions and ensures you are confident in my services as a caretaker.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was at least 15 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of the furry little creatures. I make sure they’re well taken care of so you never have to worry! I will always make sure your little furry children are well taken care of and full of energy for the next day! I was working home improvement for a few months with a mobile company. My boss currently couldn’t afford to have employees work for him so he let us go. I will be free 100% of the time for your furry children. I will be looking for another job of course.. but currently and for a while I will be available 100% of the time for the week. In the clients home, I will be able to crate the dog if necessary and needed. If they have a fenced in yard the dog will be able to roam freely and have some freedom. If not I will make sure to leash the dog and keep an eye on them 100% of the time. Cats of course if the owner says they do leash them and take them for walks, that will happen. Leashed in the back yard unless told otherwise. Free to roam in the house Obviously whenever!

About: Hike 15-20 miles/week. Love big active dogs. Volunteer dog walker and transporter for Baltimore Humane Society. Volunteer with Geo Vets, International. Dog/house sitting experience. I have a very flexible schedule and loads of time to wear your dog(s) out! My preference is a wooded hiking trail as they will be stimulated by the variety of scents, but can do your neighborhood if that’s better for you. I have been trained in various dog behavior techniques and will employ “4 on the floor” at a minimum in order to get a leash or harness on and avoid over excitement.

About: I work remotely from home on my computer so I spend a lot of time at home and my hours are flexible. I like to go out and get exercise during the day which is a great opportunity for me to also walk the dogs so your pups will get plenty of exercises. I've been an around dogs my whole life. I had a fun energetic husky growing up and now I have a chill Cotton De Tulier as my best friend. We get into a lot of crazy adventure together. I love taking road trip with my dog to the beach in the summer. Dogs are up for anything and they are the best companion. I love to have more dog if I can afford it but this gig seems like a great idea to have more dogs as well. A lot of people have to give away their dogs to shelters because they can't take care of them and that's really sad. This is my way of making a contribution so people can keep their best friend and still find time to do things they need to do. Hope I can be a great help and looking forward to meeting you and your dog.

About: I've loved dogs all my life and had the privilege of owning my own fluffy best friend for 16 years. I've experienced every stage of doggy life– the chaos of a puppy, the steady responsibility of the middle years, and the hard work of the senior years. I promise to care for your dog like they're my very own! I am often free during your core work hours of 9am–5pm. I am a freelancer, so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily fit into your routine. I'm unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but I'm always happy to come to yours. I treat every property with respect, leaving things as I found them, and keeping doors and fences secure. More than anything, I want your dog to feel safe and settled while you're away. Your home and your dog's routine stay exactly as you left them, just with a little more company :)

About: I've been taking care of my own pets since I was eight years old. Currently I take care of my bichon and bichon poodle in my home. I have pet sat Maine Coon cats, labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, basset hounds, beagles, and german shepherds. Additionally, I have experience that ranges from puppy care to senior care. I am more than happy to do a phone call or meet in person so we can get to know each other, or stop by to meet the pups before I stay with them :) I'm working part-time right now, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am super flexible and don't mind getting up early/leaving late. In your home, I am more than happy to accomodate the routines for your dog and the routines of your household. It's important to me to keep the dogs safe, utilizing baby gates, shutting doors/cabinets, and having fences as needed.

About: With over seven years of petsitting experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to animal care. I have previously worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, managing dogs of all temperaments. At home, I care for a dog, two cats, and a goat, giving me a unique perspective on different animals' needs. Since I have pets at home, I try to avoid overnight stays when possible. That being said, if it is an emergency I would be happy to work something out with you! I do not offer in home petsitting. However, to ensure your pets safety I will take all measures necessary including ensuring all doors are properly closed and locked, following all directions left for me to a T, etc.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember! Over the years, caring for pets has become second nature to me. Beyond my own lifelong experience with animals, I’ve spent significant time taking care of pets during babysitting jobs, where I routinely handled feeding schedules, walking, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention while their owners were away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood, a belly rub, or a reliable routine to keep them feeling safe and happy, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own! As a full-time online college student, my schedule is exceptionally flexible! Since I complete my coursework from home, I am around throughout the day to keep your pets company, stick strictly to their normal feeding and walk routines, and provide frequent check-ins, play sessions, or cuddles whenever they need them. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for any pet! In my home, I have a medium-sized dog who is friendly and loves playing with other dogs, making it a great environment for social pups. Whether in my home or yours, I always ensure animals stay safe by keeping them securely on a leash in open areas and outdoors. When sitting in a client's home, I take great care to respect your space and strictly follow all house rules, feeding schedules, and care preferences so your pet’s routine remains as consistent and stress-free as possible.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Upperco

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,915 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Upperco. 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 Upperco. 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 Upperco 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 Upperco. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
