About: Hello! My name is Sky, I'm 24 years old, and I am currently studying to get my Bachelor's Degree in Biological Science specializing in Zoology. I have a lot of first-hand experience with owning/caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I have no breed preferences, and pets that need specific care/special needs are always welcome. If you have a special needs pet, (or a pet that needs any sort of medication administration or medical care such as ear drops, eye drops, diaper changes, etc.) I do request to be shown specifically how you provide that care in order to ensure that your pet is not overly stressed out with a stranger performing different techniques of administration than the ones consistently used by their owner. I have a license and a car so I can provide reliable transportation to dog parks, socialization outings, grooming appointments, and pup-cup treats! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet. **FULLY COVID-19 VACCINATED AND BOOSTED During the summer I have a relatively free schedule. During the fall and spring semesters, I attend college full-time, so unfortunately my availability will be cut down but not completely gone. During the school year, I would greatly appreciate it if you could notify me or request me 6 hours to one day in advance so I can make sure I don’t have anything going on with school. Same-day requests during the school year can be tricky and I want you to be able to have your pet taken care of, so if I happen to be busy on the day of request/visit I can let you know so you can request someone else in a timely manner. I would hate to deny your request an hour or so before you need me because of school and cause you to be unable to book a new sitter in time. Thank you for your consideration, I will try my absolute best to accommodate you and your schedule with appropriate notice. I strive to make sure your pets get the best care possible, even if, unfortunately, it cannot be with me. **For house-sitting services, I am available for all-day visits, but unfortunately I am unable to stay the night(s) at your home because of my own pets at home needing care. I strive to provide your pets with the same love, care, and affection that I provide for my own pets. I'd love to cater to any preferences or favorite toys/food/activities your pet may have!

About: I've done pet sitting for family and friends for most of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs by making sure they’re well fed, they play, we go walking, and being able to give oral meds if they need. I will be available on marked days, usually weekdays as well as Sundays and occasional Saturdays if needed since l have a flexible schedule during the summer. I take care of my pets diligently and lovingly so I wouldn’t do it any other way for yours! I’m currently on summer break from college, so I’ll be able to give undivided attention to your little angel! I’ll be should be available most days for walking and dog sitting except for Saturdays. (But be sure to check my marked days!) I’m fine with your pet to play in my home freely (within reason haha). There’s also a park and a plain grass space near my home if they want to play and run around there. I do have two shy cats but they’re very nice and have experience being around dogs.

About: Hi! I'm Darling, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. While I'm new to Rover, I've always loved spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'm responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels comfortable and receives the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or plenty of playtime, I'm happy to work around their routine. I believe consistency is important, so I'll follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and at ease. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines. I always keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hello there, I am a responsible young man who has lived in Maryland for 30 years and have grown up with 4 dogs in my lifetime. I am more then willing to help take care of your’s too! Every dog I meet, I treat it as my own with respect and love. I will provide plenty of play time and potty breaks for your pet as needed as I know having raised 4 puppies can be crazy at times. If an emergency arises and something last minute comes up, I’m more then willing to drop what I am doing and take care of your pet. I work from home remotely Monday through Friday and can provide play time and potty breaks throughout the day. On the weekends my schedule is open and will provide play time for your family member. I live in a nice sized 2 bedroom apartment with my wife who also loves animals! There is also a dog Park in the community for excercise.

“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.

About: As someone with minimal professional pet care experience, I bring genuine enthusiasm, responsibility, and a strong desire to learn. I’ve always loved animals and have spent time around friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me a basic understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because I work remotely Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My flexible work environment allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I’m home all day, so pets are never left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their the owner’s home, I plan to focus on creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable experience for both the pet and the owner by respecting the owner’s space just as much as I respect their pet, maintaining a clean environment, locking up carefully, and treating the home with the same care I would my own. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make it a priority to follow established household routines closely—whether that includes feeding schedules, walking paths, playtime habits, or special instructions.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wildcat Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wildcat Forest is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 17,086 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wildcat Forest. 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 Wildcat Forest. 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 Wildcat Forest 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 Wildcat Forest. 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.
