“Vatia has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is consistently communicative, reliable, and responsive, which gives me so much peace of mind when I have to be away from my dogs for an extended period of time. I appreciate her genuine care for my dogs, and I always feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands with her. I highly recommend Vatia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter.”

About: I've been caring for puppies and dogs for family members and friends for several years. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including young puppies that require extra patience, supervision, and consistency. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I’m currently working a part-time throughout the week. My preferred times are 9am-2pm to take walks, feed, playtime, or medication. Staying overnight shifts, I would love to know 3 days in advance for planning. Also my hours for house sitting is 7pm-next morning mostly Friday - Sunday. Weekdays is a little hectic for me but if it fits my schedule or something changed, we can figure something out, just send a message! Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely follow each pet's routine and care instructions. I offer regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care in a safe and comfortable setting. 🐾
“Wow! Bentley had such a great time with Alex. This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. Alex worked with my schedule and fit Bentley in quickly. Alex gave Bentley lots of snuggles too which meant a lot to my fur baby. Thank you❤️”
About: I’ve been taking care of smaller dogs since I was 9, I’ve been around smaller dogs such as yorkies and pomeranians, recently I’ve watched/cared for Maltipoos and Mini Schnauzers under a Puppy Yoga Studio. Additionally I’d also like to mention the last few years I got to experience dog sitting for a bigger breed, an American Bully XL to be specific! I’m a full-time grad student in DC, but I reside in Maryland. I do commute to my classes in DC, my classes take place in the evening on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6pm - 10pm. I care for dogs based upon the instructions of the owner and of course with my own discernment and understanding of particular breeds and the behaviors that come with the breed. Nonetheless, love, play, and care will always be shown :)
About: I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special needs pets, so I know how to adapt my care to fit each dog’s personality and routine. Whether it’s gentle playtime for a shy rescue, consistent potty training for a new puppy, or medication and mobility support for an older dog, I provide care that’s patient, reliable, and full of heart. I also focus on clear communication — you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities — because they deserve nothing less! ❤️🐶 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not just a job, it’s my passion! I plan my days around the pets I care for, making sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m an early riser, so morning walks, breakfast, and playtime are always part of my routine. Throughout the day, I schedule regular potty breaks, feeding times, and check-ins to match each dog’s normal schedule. In the evenings, I love relaxing walks or quiet cuddle time before bedtime. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, extended stays, or weekend walks, I keep my calendar flexible to meet your dog’s needs and your schedule. Your pet’s comfort and consistency come first — I make sure their routine stays as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. 🐾 Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home: I create a calm, cozy environment that feels like a home away from home. I follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and bedtime, so they feel secure and settled. There’s always plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervision — and I never leave pets unattended for long. I also make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of hazards. When caring for pets in your home: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect I would my own. I keep their routines consistent, from feeding and walking to any medication or special care instructions. I’m mindful of your home’s rules, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is just as you left it. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’d receive if you were there. ❤️🐶🐾

“We had such great luck with Jennifer walking our giant girl! She handled our Irish Wolfhound's excitement so well and was comfortable using commands to try and wrangle her. We would definitely use her services in the future!”

I’ve had a wonderful experience with my dog walker! She is reliable, consistent, and always arrives at the agreed upon time to pick up Ozzy. I especially appreciate the photos and updates she sends during his walks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
I highly recommend Tiera! She has been walking my boy, Ozzy, and has been wonderful from day one. She is dependable, professional, and always arrives at the agreed upon time. I never have to worry because I know Ozzy is in good hands. One of the things I appreciate most is that she sends photos during every walk, which gives me peace of mind and lets me see what Ozzy is doing during their walk. She is also patient, caring, and attentive to his needs, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the dogs she works with. If you're looking for someone who is reliable and trustworthy, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

The average cost of Dog Walking in West Laurel is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 per walk.

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 West Laurel. 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 West Laurel 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.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
