“Anton has been walking our Pittie, Mihoshi, for months, and he is an excellent walker!! He’s very attentive to our pup’s behavior and communicates thoroughly. If we ever need to make adjustments, he is flexible. If he has upcoming plans, he informs us weeks in advance so we can work out the schedule together. I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a walker or sitter for your furry friend. :)”

About: I'm a dog-mom of a pup named Bear! I absolutely adore my dog and would share my love with your furry-friend! I've had Bear since he was a puppy and he's now 4. So, I know first hand the level of care needed for puppies and teen dogs. I'm comfortable with cats as well! I've been around kittens and cats for most of my life through many of my friends. So, I'm very comfortable and familiar with the care they need. I work remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I have good notice I'm happy to care for your furry-friend! I do ask that if there are any request during regular business hours (8 am- 6 pm), that I can bring my work laptop. I love my dog very much and am really on top of his care/needs, so I completely understand and expect that from pet owners. I welcome any insights or feedback on how you'd like your pet to be cared for. I'll also be sure to provide updates, videos, and photos to show how things are going. I love getting those for my dog, so l'll be sure to provide that to you! I work remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I have good notice I’m happy to care for your pup!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old. I grew up with two dogs, one elderly and one a puppy. I watched other people’s dogs throughout high school as well! I just graduated from the University of Providence with a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry with plans to attend medical school. I am currently living in the Silver Spring area. NOTE: I will be starting a full time position at NIH on October 20th and will only be available in the afternoon and on weekends. I recently just graduated college and am living and working in the Corvallis/Hamilton area. I work at a restaurant at night usually around 3 so I am available all morning almost every day up until then! I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my client’s home I will respect the space and maintain consistency by walking, feeding, and administering medication as needed.

About: I started getting involved with dog’s when I was about 10 years old, in 2016. I show my dogs in AKC events and have been working at a doggy daycare since Oct. 2025 I work at a doggy daycare M-Th from 6AM-1PM. I do accept Day-Of Services, however, please note that I may not accept a service if I am already busy that day. Any services will need to be made no earlier than 2PM on my work days so I have time to get to your pup from work! I will care for your pet past your expectation. I love dogs and have great knowledge of them. I am great at following instructions and will accomplish them

About: Hi, my name is what? (Yessica), my name is who? (Dog whisperer), my name is chika chika ruff ruff 😎 I am a dog lover at heart. Growing up with dogs has truly been a blessing, they are a man’s best friend. You can trust your dog will feel at home. Our furr baby Blake passed away in October of 2025, he was the goodest boy and forever will be cherished in our hearts. We live next to a long trail perfect for peaceful walks. We love outdoor activities and now with the warmer weather your pup will get plenty of exercise. I will maintain any schedule you have and make sure your pup gets extra loving during their stay. Our home can accommodate for those with extra energy or older dogs who want to sleep in and cuddle all day. My husband works from home and would love the company of "mans best friend". We are off on weekends and have plenty of trails to explore. Your furr babies can expect a minimum of 3 walks per day, cuddles, food time on schedule, treats, and lots of toys and play time.

About: 15 years of own pet care experience. I have cared for pets and volunteered on animal shelters before. I own a frenchie boy who is very calm , never barks and loves to eat. If needed on a case by case basis I can arrange to have your baby in my care alone :) Loved animals since little. I will love your pet like its my own. I’m a civil engineer with a frenchie pup working from home! Dog-walking or pet sitting will be a smooth addition to my daily routine that your pup and I will enjoy! Meet and greets needed for dog sitting. Will send you photos or text to let you know how your pet is doing! Please let me know of any fears your pup has. I typically let my dog sleep my couch or bed but will ask for permission first.

About: I have taken care of a range of dogs and cats over many years. Previously I have given long walks on trails, short walks around the neighborhood, managed medication during meals, and looked after multiple pets in a household. I also used to have a Labrador of my own. I can currently care for dogs and cats basically all day and everyday, so I can fit into whatever your usual or desired schedule for your pet is. My care often varies as different pets tend to need different needs such as tiring out a high energy dog or keeping calm but attentive to anxious pets. I am neat and desire to keep any space I enter as clean as possible.

About: When it comes to dogs, I have all the patience and love in the world. I'm responsible, playful, and a beacon of positive energy. I've dog sat and walked for friends and neighbors in DC. Our dog Naya (mini Aussie) also loves having a nap buddy. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly, open green lawn around the compound and 15min drive from Dewey Dog Park. I have flexible hours. I would be happy to accommodate morning and evening walks when needed. Special Skills: I have been told I give amazing belly rubs. I can sing when they're homesick or feeling down. I am currently on leave from regular 9-5 job. I have flexibility while attending to our own dog (Naya) and personal projects. My partner and I take Naya out 3x a day and try to set up doggy play dates when we can. We doggy proof our apt based on the dog we host as best as possible. We have a small balcony which gives them a great view of nature. We also have an outdoor dog run (fenced) within the building and plenty of friendly dogs that they would get to interact with if they want otherwise there’s plenty of options to go to the nearby rock creek park for personal space too.

About: Caring for animals has always been at the center of my life. My dog Milo and I grew together since childhood. We both learned from each other about patience, gentleness, and attention. I learned that every pet deserves these three points. He was my best friend for 13 years. I’ve cared for senior and special-needs dogs, administered medications, assisted with grooming, and handled all kinds of behaviors with positive reinforcement. Whether helping a nervous pet relax or keeping energetic dogs engaged, I focus on making every moment safe and fun, while building a strong, positive, and meaningful relationship. I’ve worked professionally with Wag!, completing over 250 walks with 5-star reviews among regular clients. I bring the same dedication to every pet I care for on Rover — giving them full attention, noticing the little details, and treating them like family. I’m fully available, happy to extend walks if your dog needs extra exercise, and I love engaging through fetch, tug, and calm companionship. Being part of the Rover community allows me to combine lifelong love for animals with hands-on care. I take pride in creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for every pet I meet! If you do let me be a good buddy with your best friend, I won’t ruin that trust. About Me: Favorite movies/TV/books 🎬 - Homeward Bound, Air Bud, Shiloh, A Dog’s Journey, The Secret Life of Pets, Scooby-Doo, Bolt, The Call of the Wild, Superman, Batman Hobbies 🎨🎸- Skiing, Hiking, Photography, Tennis, Music Pets at home - Pet care is my primary focus, and I maintain a flexible, open schedule that allows me to give pets consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs, including last-minute requests and extended stays, depending on availability. I don’t overbook or divide my attention, which helps ensure pets receive the calm, dependable care they deserve. Reliability is extremely important to me. I have a 100% acceptance rate and zero no-shows, and when I commit to caring for your pet, you can trust that I will be present, prepared, and fully attentive. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals are always supervised and treated like family. I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with quick access to grassy areas for walks and potty breaks, along with a balcony for fresh air and relaxation. I also have access to fully fenced yards and other open spaces, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy extra space to explore and play safely. My home is cozy and welcoming, with comfortable couches and beds where pets are encouraged to settle in and feel at ease. I take pride in creating a warm, stress-free environment — especially for pets (and pet parents) who may be new to Rover. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home while giving you complete peace of mind.

Kayla's experience with reactive dogs put me at ease knowing she would be able to handle some of Brandice's quirks. I appreciated the updates and photos that were sent after each walk. I would totally recommend her to anyone in the area for drop-in's and walks and will definitely book again in the future!

Naomi did a fantastic job taking great care of our three rambunctious dogs while we were away on vacation. Walking them twice daily, sending photos on daily walks, and checking in. It was a relief to see them so happy and well cared for while we were away. Naomi was very kind and gentle with our dogs even though they have a tendency to pull and she kept us updated thru text messages. Since we arrived back home our dogs have been sitting in the window looking for Naomi most especially around the normal times she would arrive. I would not hesitate to have Naomi care for our pups again. Very consistent and reliable, Thank you Naomi for your great care and kindness!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wheaton-Glenmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wheaton-Glenmont is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 17,439 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wheaton-Glenmont. 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 Wheaton-Glenmont. 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 Wheaton-Glenmont 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 Wheaton-Glenmont. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.
