“Tabitha was great with Riley.. I knew from the first meeting and Riley’s response to her she was a good choice. She took the time to care for her as well as play. She even added a day last minute which I really appreciated! I would definitely book with her again anytime I need a dogsitter.”
“I could not be happier with Sam and the excellent care he provided for my dog, Walter! I needed to be out of town for the better part of a week, and having just moved to town, did not have any friends or family to watch after my large canine; Sam to the rescue! I had never used this service or this site before, so initially was a tad skeptical. After Sam's quick response, and then after meeting him in person, I knew Walter would be in good hands. I initially approached him requesting two walks per day, but due to his reasonable pricing, I suggested that I would be interested in adding a third walk every day. Even though I'm sure it was a bit out of the way, he accepted the extra work with alacrity. On top of all this, when I needed to put Walter on antibiotics last-minute, Sam was more than happy to administer the medicine. It was clear from the "Rover Cards" that Walter was getting great walks, and truly first-rate overall care. I would absolutely use Sam's service again, and would recommend him to anyone needing hassle-free, reliable care. I hope he is available if and when I need him again. Thanks Sam!”
“Priscilla has been watching Jake for almost a month now and she is great. Jake adores her, he loves walking and playing with her, and she takes great care of him. Priscilla communicates very well with me before and after she walks Jake, and she sends several pictures and video. She also asks a lot of questions about any special care or needs Jake might need. I can tell she really cares about Jake, and animals in general, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker/sitter”
“Brent was great with my two active Aussies. They like to be walked together and came home from their walks clearly happy. Please note: Brent stepped up on fairly short notice—I had an emergency and needed dependable help. Highly recommend Brent and Rover!”
“Jahborne was great with my sweet prince. Communication was excellent, I couldn’t have trusted anyone more with caring for him. He asked questions and answered my text almost immediately if I needed anything and I will definitely be booking again! Thanks a lot !!!!”
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“She is reliable and always shows up on time. And Taresse even brought in my big heavy packages from the front step which was not expected at all but very appreciated!!”
“Lorena is a dream dog walker. She has an excellent rapport with my pup, is very mindful of my dog’s safety, is always on time, and communicates exceedingly well. I recommend her highly and without any reservations.”
“Ryan went above and beyond for our sweet doggo. He matched her pace and was attentive to her needs. Highly recommend! He will be a regular walker for us when needed moving forward.”
“Casie, is a joy to work with. She is always on time. She is so caring and loving with my puppy. I can tell she really cares. Will definitely continue to use her.”
“This was the first time we used Sara for a dog walk in our neighborhood. It was a last minute thing and she was extremely kind to accept and even to come for a quick Meet and Greet. She was prompt and followed all of the instructions. I would definitely call on her again!”
About: I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I have dog-sat for one year. I also have experience caring for pets within my family. I am a college student, therefore, I have the summers off. My schedule is flexible, and I am available full-time. I can stop by when needed. I understand the deep love others have for their pets. Therefore, I want to ensure pet parents feel comfortable when away. I will communicate with owners and send updates about their pets. I will also ensure that spaces are clean and the pets are attended to!
“Jaeda arrived on time for both the meet and greet and dog walk. She’s personable and took the time to get to know my pup a little better. She asked good questions about her habits and temperament. She was respectful of my home and pup!”
About: My name is Lindsey and I come from a large family with 10 other children. I graduated from high school in May of 2018 and I decided to take a year off. Usually I’m either working, working out, or spending time outside! I love dogs and have had them since I was a kid! We’ve had everything from Great Danes to Hunting Dogs. My favorite was a Great Dane we had named Iris. She was a harlequin & was the last of my sisters litter. I’m available everyday, and during the evening. I’ll make sure your dog has lots of love, goes on long walks, and gets plenty of food and treats! I’m used to caring for animals and have plenty of time to do so. I also train dogs for basic obedience. I’m currently in the military, so I do have sufficient time for your pets, and they will get lots of walks and so much attention as well! I will care for your pets just as you instruct, and follow everything to a T. I send lots of pictures and track my walks with the dogs, so you’ll always know!

Katherine is incredibly sweet, kind, and dependable. She was able to meet my dog and take her for a walk on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. She arrived on time, asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s care, and carefully followed all instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she works with. We are very happy to have her as our regular sitter and highly recommend her!
Nia is so kind and loving with my dog. She's very patient with my dog's reactivity and helps her to be calm. She's even gotten her to walk in the rain, and my dog HATES the rain and will often refuse to go. She's good about following directions for food and treats and checks in if she has any concerns. Thanks Nia!
Catherine is a wonderful dog walker. She has a great rapport with my dogs and makes their health and safety her top priority. She communicates before, during, and after her walks with my dogs and sends fun photos. I highly recommend Catherine as a dog walker. Thanks for another great walk, Catherine. The dogs are happy and tired.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in West Elkridge on Rover is $19.26 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 12,912 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Elkridge. 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 West Elkridge. 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 West Elkridge.

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 West Elkridge. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
