“HIGHLY RECOMMEND….All of the things you want while you are away to relax from your responsibilities with your pets. My high energy girls are entertained, exercised, and pampered until they don’t want me to come home! Feel confident leaving your pet in their care.”

“Jason listens carefully to what I like when it comes to training, as Roarke is in training to be a service dog. He also won Roarke’s affection right away. I would recommend him to anyone.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I carry my own premium Pet Care/Liability Insurance for your peace of mind. 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.

“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”

“Emily arrived on time and was so friendly and warm greeting Sadie. She definitely provided Sadie a great walk and rewarding experience. I would definitely use Emily again?”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.
About: My daughter and I have been doing animal sitting, walking and drop ins for close family and friends over the past 5 years. As my daughter prepares for graduation in the next year, we said it’s time to make a business out of something we both love. There’s never been a time in our life that we have not had 3-4 pets of our own. From bringing home every stray dog, cat, baby bunny, possum, raccoons and birds to save and rehabilitate. We are very involved in animal rights, animal welfare, cat colony management, fostering and TNR! Even some of the most feral cats have build extremely loving relationships with us. At the moment our pets include 1 dog, 6 cats, 1 bunny and a snake. We are also very experienced with providing care for equine, rodents, parrots, chickens, ducks, sheep, goats and pigs. We volunteer at-least one day a week for an equine rescue. Along with riding and providing care for the past 11 years, we know all the ins and outs of feeding, stall cleaning, Turning in and out, plus other general equine care. We have a great relationship with numerous veterinarians in our area, including exotic, farm animal and your typical small animal veterinarians. I have experience with administering oral and injectable meds to cats, dogs and equine. We also have experience with reptile feeding. While staying at your home, Along with providing loving care to your animal(s) We can water plants, bring in mail, put garbage cans out or any other tasks you might need, so that you will be stress free when returning. Unfortunately, we can't take any more animals in at my home since we have quite a few of our own and 2 fosters at this time. ***Please make note….if you have a pet that can not stay home alone for at least 5 hours or if you have a pet that needs 24 hour care, there will be a $25 fee added to each nights stay. We love doing drop ins, dog walking and pet sitting in your house. It is our top priority to always make sure your pets are safe and loved! We are sure to always provide lots of texts and pictures to assure you that your pets are happy and loved during your time away❤️ Our drop in, walks and house sitting can be scheduled for any time of the day or week that our schedule shows an opening. We are very flexible! We can not take animals in our home at this time. All clients will stay in their own home. Your pets safety is always our top priority.
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”

“Above and beyond. While my girl Gemma was ready for her walk, my puppy Nico was very apprehensive it came time. Mike was super patient and understanding, taking extra time to win Nico over. This guy is who you want walking your anxious and nervous puppies! Definitely recommend, booking future walks now :)”

“My girl Rosy is a special needs dog. She's afraid of everything. The 1st time she met Julian she licked him. He's sweet and kind and very patient with her. I highly recommend him.”

About: Hello! I am Camryn F., I am currently a veterinary assistant at a Veterinary Hospital in Frederick and am in veterinary technician school. I have always loved being around any animal/caring for them! I can commute and I am easy to get ahold of! I am so excited to be helping those in need of a responsible and reliable caretaker. I do have pets in my home, but they are loving and open to meeting new animals as long as the feeling is mutual between the animals as far as drop offs. Although I may only have 5 years of professional experience I have years of personal experience as I have owned various animals throughout my life time! I look forward to getting to know you and your animal and helping you in any way possible! Thank you I do work full time, and a couple days a week I do have long hours. I have every other weekend off as well as Thursdays. Saturday I have a half day and every Sunday is guaranteed off. I also have major Holidays off. I have many pets of my own at home and often find myself feeding them and caring for them before myself most days! Some may call that crazy, but it’s just the way I roll! I love all animals big and small :)
About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs ever since I was 7 years old and have been in love with animals ever since. I have taken care of all sorts of animals from hamsters to horses. I am currently looking to have pet care be a daily thing in my life and would like it to take up a lot of my free time. I make a routine schedule for my animas so they know when they get fed, when they go to bed and when they get exercised or let outside
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My childhood cat lived to 22, and I grew up with Golden Retrievers, including helping care for a litter of puppies. I also worked as an assistant manager at a large pet daycare facility and now have two rescue dogs of my own. I’m very active and love walking, so I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work part-time in a flexible office role and can also work remotely, while I am building my real-estate career. That gives me the ability to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and staying consistent with each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced yard, a large back porch, a walkable neighborhood, and a park nearby for walks and playtime. My two rescue dogs are used to sharing the furniture, so visiting pets will have plenty of comfortable places to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any house rules—while keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a former college coach and admissions counselor, I have spent most of my career in trusted, responsibility-heavy roles, and I bring that same attentiveness and care to every pet.
“Lindsey is extremely chill and the exact perfect fit for our reactive Kevin. Kevin is excitable but as soon as he sees Lindsey he calms down and is ready for a walk. I highly recommend!!!”

“Thank you Audrey! You are the best. Taina liked you very much, we felt very comfortable having you pick her up and spend time with her while we were out. It was a pleasure meeting you. You have a great personality, very responsible and kind. Thank you once again and we hope to count with your services in the future. Have a great summer time!! Sincerely, The Maldonado Family!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 5,005 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 your Upperco. 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 Upperco.
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 Upperco. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
