“Karinna is professional, polite and extremely knowledgeable about my dogs breed and reassured me with her experience. Strong communication skills and I feel confident knowing she's taking care of my pup!”
About: Since I can remember I have always been around dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescues, who needed training and caring for. I currently pet sit for my family when they are away, and walk dogs for family friends. When I was a professional cleaner I encountered all breeds and ages of cats and dogs every single day so I am very comfortable around all types of pets. I especially love and have experience with pitty breeds as well as experience with some reactive cats and know what to do to gain their trust. When not taking care or animals, I am a freelance dancer and choreographer! I take dance class some evenings and may have a weekend show or rehearsals. Other than that, I am readily available especially during the morning, afternoons, and later in the evenings/overnight for your furry friends! Before we officially book, I will make sure we have a meet and greet so that your pet can get to know me as we talk about all your needs for my visit! Along with any of your pet's special needs, I will ask you to leave me with any emergency contact information just in case anything were to happen, as well as my personal contact info. I also will send you updates for your peace of mind as well as some adorable pictures of your pet(s)!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! I have a tuxedo cat of my own that I rescued from the Humane Society! I will make sure your pet is given tons of love. I’m a grad student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I’ll have to check my availability and class schedule, but I always need time to be away from my computer and hang with your pets! I’m very careful of respecting other peoples’ spaces and homes. I’ll make sure everything looks exactly how you left it, and your pet is taken care of!
“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”
“Isabel is excellent! She came over to meet the dogs in advance and left me with a ton of confidence that my dogs would be well taken care of. She provided constant communication including when she arrived, if they went to the bathroom, if she gave them treats (which I gave her permission to do), and when she left. I will definitely ask her to walk the dogs again!”
About: I've surrounded by domestic animals since I was very little growing up in a farm. As an adult I always had a pet and took care of family and friend's pets. I run an online business and I am home most the time. I will have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pet. I lived with my husband in a very large house and a fenced backyard. Plus a have a friendly medium side dog who loves other pets. He would be a great companion for your furry baby.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, including two of my own. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years, and I always treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! I’m also comfortable following feeding and walking routines and administering oral medications. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for regular, long-term schedules as well as occasional or one-time care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! I live in a pet-friendly community and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and daily walks. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family! 🐾
“Rebecca took some wonderful pictures of Henry. I’ve already booked her again. She was on time and texted me back very fast she was very sweet with Henry. I found my new dog walker for my boy.”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I will make your family member very comfortable in my home as if it were my own. I can also administer medication if necessary and go for nice walks. I work during the school year and I have summers off. I am available during the week and I am available on most weekends as well. I can be flexible with my schedule. I have my own home and a very nice yard to be outside in. I have very nice neighborhoods to walk in nearby and can go for walks daily. I have 2 older sons that are here in the evening when they get home from work that love all the dogs and will also give lots of love and attention! I have comfortable dog beds and lots of toys for them to play with. I also have a crate if your dog feels comfort in being in one and wants one to retreat to.
About: Hello doggy parents and families! My name is Maryssa, I’m 29 years old and a stay at home mom with lots of free time, and a love for animals. I am new to rover, but not new to pet care. I’ve 20+ years of pet care experience, and am looking to build my pet sitting business. I have a huge passion for dogs, with two mixed pit bulls at home, and a short haired tabby cat. I am skilled in dog walking (any size ☺️), strict feeding schedules, cuddles, and more. Please message me any care needs you have and I will be sure to accommodate. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your furry friend! I’m a stay at home mom and I have a lot of free time! I love spending time with my dogs, going for walks and to the dog park! In my home my animals can be crated if needed, and they are let outside on a long lead. For visits for your animal, I can provide any service needed!
About: For the past couple of years I have been pet sitting for a colleague and friend of mine and I absolutely love it. I have experience with dealing with dogs with some special needs and I am more than welcome to learn. The youngest I have had was 4 years old and then all the way up to 15 years old. Let me take the load off your shoulders and be able to take care of your fur babies. Though I love dogs, please know that I REALLY love cats too. I am catgirl at heart so please be rest assured that I will take amazing care of them as well. I used to have a feral cat, now with my loving parents 🐈. Currently I have three, so I also do know how it can be when not everyone gets along. Almost everyone in my life owns a cat, so I hope that gives some perspective :). So yes. I’m here for your dog.. but I am also here for the cat folks too 🐾. I have a very flexible schedule due to my job. It allows for myself to create my own schedule so it not only makes my life easier but could very well make yours too. Weekends I have availability and during the week it varies! I care for the pets in my own life allowing them to roam wherever they desire. Besides some closest but they always make their way .
“Fruzsina is a fantastic, highly engaged dog walker. Her communication is top-tier—I always get great photos and a breakdown of how the walk went. She is very proactive about suggesting new ways to keep my dog enriched and stimulated. She is very involved and enthusiastic, which shows how much she cares. A great choice for any owner who values a collaborative and communicative partnership.”
About: Hello pet parents! I find great fulfillment in caring for and nurturing your pets. Caring for pets also gives me a wonderful outlet to indulge my intense and immense love for dogs! While I might lack decades of experience working with our furry friends, I believe I more than make up for it with my enthusiasm for learning and affection for doggies! All I can promise is that you shall not regret working with me! I work from home remotely for my day job, which affords me plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies! The nature of my job also enables me to take my furry friends out for a walk during working hours no problem. I am available for walks and drop in visits on all weekdays; for your dog boarding or house sitting needs, I am available seven days a week. I have a family member living with me who is retired and stays home full time, so there will be at least one responsible adult looking after your precious pet(s) at all times!
About: My entire life I have owned at least 3 pets. From foster cats, to my own cats, dogs, neighbors dogs, etc. I am a pet person through and through. I have a range of ages of animals I’ve taken care of - from dogs in elderly stages to 2 week old kittens. I am currently working from home Mon,Wed, Thursday, Fri. I’m constantly taking quick walks around the block during the day to keep my energy up and get outside. We have already cat sat in our apartment and everything went smoothly. We ensure doors are closed and locked at all times so there is a 0% chance of escaping. I live in between two parks as well which are always full of dogs to play in.
About: I have experience from dogs & cats to taking care of horses, for over 20 years. Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I own one dog and I also foster for Rescuer's Without Boarders. I am willing to take dogs from any age to any training level. Animals are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Your best friend will be treated as part of the family. Dogs are kept on leashes and harnesses (as owner prefers). Dogs are supervised at all times outside and inside. I can crate your dog as needed or preferred. I work from home most of the time, so I can take in pets during the day. I can do house/pet sitting in your home as well. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. We go out for short walks/potty breaks every few hours. Longer or shorter walks can be accommodated per age/breed/energy level of dog.
“Katie helped me out tremendously when I had to find a pet sitter to walk my dog Kava last minute, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was responsive, professional, and so kind. She was truly a life saver and I felt confident that Kava was in good hands.”
About: I am a dog lover. I have two dogs of my own love to walk them and play In the yard. Weather it is a drop in or to walk your dog I will treat them like my own. I am a retired nurse who cares for my elderly mom and. have a lot of free time so I am flexible. I am here to help I care for my dog with love and kindness. I talk to them and love to pay ball and walk. I always include them in my daily work around the house.
About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone. As far as basic care and house rules go, their feeding schedule can be flexible and adjusted to match his/her schedule at home. They are allow to roam the main areas of our home and snuggle up on the couch as they wish!

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 Vernon Rockville. 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.

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 Vernon Rockville. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
