“Jessica was very organized and extremely reliable. She went over everything (and more) that we needed to touch on at our meet and greet. As walks went on, she was very communicative, and worked with me to come up with creative ideas on how to manage my dog’s significant fears. He was an abused rescue, so he is shy and gets easily scared of noises and people. I will definitely be having her walk again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and would help care for them, from walking, to feeding and bathing. I've also helped friends with theirs. I've cared for dogs as small as pugs and dachshunds to as big as collies and pitbulls. I work full time but I do have a very flexible employer! I'm willing to stop by anytime from 8am to 2am and am willing to house-sit as well. I do not offer boarding at my own home but if you asked anyone who knows me theyd tell you that I'm very cleanly, organized and respectful. I will always do my best to adhear to any instructions you leave for your baby and I do have experience kennaling big dogs.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I was previously also a pet sitter for about 8 years while also caring for my own pets. I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pet lots of attention and love. There are 2 adults and 2 children (12 and 8) in the house. We do not currently have any pets of our own. We have a fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood for walks. Your pet is free to roam our house or we can crate. Whatever works for them.
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”
About: Just like many people, I've been surrounded by animals my whole life! I currently share my home with two cats, but l'm just as comfortable and experienced spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from chihuahuas to Great Danes! l've cared for many family and friends pets over the years, including Yorkies, Great Danes, Short Haired Pointers, and especially my sister's Frenchie who is my best bud! I also have worked at a dog kennel where I gained a lot of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups! I learned other essential skills like giving medication when needed, adjusting to play styles and behaviors of dogs, and just overall learned how to handle the many different personalities that come with dogs! I do work full time as a software developer and enjoy my other hobbies, but when I have some extra time, I like to volunteer at the local animal shelter! Whether it's playtime or just giving the pets some extra love and attention, it’s something I always enjoy and love! I take pride in my pet care where I can promise your pets will be cared for like they're my own. When in my care they will experience plenty of love, play, and of course cuddles! When it comes to pet care, it fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time remotely from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule where I can take breaks for walks, playtime, or for bathroom breaks. If your pup needs many potty breaks, a walk in the middle of the day, or just some extra attention, I can easily fit it into my routine! When caring for your pets in your home, I always make sure to treat them (and your space!) with the same respect and love that I’d give my own. Whatever your pets routine is, is something I would make sure I stick to so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I would be sure to handle the little things that keep them healthy, such as giving them water and food, giving them medication if needed, cleaning up after them, and taking them for exercise! Most importantly, I would also give them love and attention so they don’t feel lonely and would send updates with pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re gone!
“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”
“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”
About: My time working a the trading and boarding kennel had allowed me to handle sometimes over a 100 dogs in a day, each one with different personalities and needs. Each time I would take them on their potty breaks I would make sure to lavish them in attention and play chase if they felt inclined. I also have monitored up to 10+ dogs together in group play, being very careful to watch behavior and know when a dog has had too much or needs a better playmate. I am also an experienced feeder that can create highly individualized meals and medicate dogs through pilling or hiding meds in food/treats. This also includes non-oral meds like ear and eyes drops as well as topicals. Before the kennel, I walked many neighborhood dogs, taking them for long 30+minute walks and ensuring they were fed and had water. I would stay and give them attention after their walks to keep them company if I was not spending the night. I have experience in using E-collar and commands as well. I mostly used commands for feeding purposes but I can also use them to stop bad behavior. Injuries can also occur not matter how careful one is, be it a broken nail, ear inflections, or cuts and scrapes. I have experienced this many times at the kennel and am apt at tending to said injuries should they occur. I’m currently working a part-time graveyard shift which still gives me a lot of time to play and interact with your pet. I am only 24 years old which allows me bounce my sleep hours around so I can still care for your pet. I work hard to slowly build trust with nervous dogs and give them all play time, pets, and treats (owner approved of course). If there are any special needs, like age or aggression, I take extra care to ensure everyone and dog is safe and secure around me.
About: I’m an experienced, reliable, and responsible pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom of 5 two legged children and 2 four legged children with a background in healthcare. I’m here day and night to help with your pet care needs. I have a large fenced in yard for exercise, and a screened in porch. I can set up a crate if needed. We have 2 large friendly dogs to keep your baby company. Fresh water, regular feeding, medication administration if needed and lots of love! I can guarantee your pup will never get lonely!
“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”
“Micaya deserves more than five stars. She was gentle, patient, and attentive to detail with Charlie. My German Shepard takes time to warm up to, but during our first meet and greet with Micaya, Charlie quietly lay next to her feet while we were talking. Micaya is Amazing she shared pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and was on time for scheduled walks. Micaya, you are loving and caring of our Fur family members.”
About: I have taken care of pets since high school. I have 3 children and my amazing mini golden doodle who loves to cuddle. I am a very sweet and reliable person! I make sure your furry one is well taken care of while you are away. I’m very good at sending pictures and communicating to reinsure your pet is well taken care of. I work from home so I have flexibility to walk dogs or if you need me to let feed a pet or let it out and play. I currently have a golden doodle. Previously, I had a pitbull mix and a laberdoodle. So, I experience with all sizes. I have also had 2 dachshunds in the past before I moved to Maryland.
About: I have hands-on experience with all ages—from energetic kittens and puppies to senior pets who need medication or special diets. I understand how important it is to follow their routines closely, so I always schedule an in-person visit beforehand to make sure I fully understand their needs and can ask any questions. I treat every pet like family and always aim to give them the same love and care they get from you! I work part-time, so my schedule can vary, but I always share my availability upfront before any bookings are confirmed. That way, we can make adjustments if needed to ensure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is a priority for me, and I make sure it fits comfortably into my routine. At home, I care for my cat Milo by feeding him twice a day, cleaning his litter box every morning, and giving him lots of playtime and attention whenever I have a free moment. I bring that same level of care to my clients’ homes—keeping pets fed, clean, comfortable, and most importantly, loved. I do my best to stick to their usual routines so they feel safe and at ease while you're away.
“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”
About: My name is Alexandra. I have 3 Chihuahuas. I also have a 17 year old dachshund. My pups are my world! My little fur babies as I like to call them. I absolutely love dogs.

Wow! Rachael did such a good job caring for our two dogs, age 1 and 9. She was extremely communicative. She followed the directions that I left exactly. And when she had questions she contacted me. We had a great experience with Rachael, and will be sure to hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wilderness. 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 Wilderness. 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 Wilderness 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 .

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.
