About: Hi, I’m Maya! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and even horses—and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around age 15, and since then, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’ve helped raise playful puppies, provided comfort to senior pets, and everything in between. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’m here to help. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animals. I’d love to meet you and your pet, let’s set up a meet and greet soon! I am currently home from college for the summer and have a flexible schedule to fit your needs! I’d love to work around your busy schedule! I have a fenced-in yard and an extremely playful, friendly English Cream Golden Retriever who is two years old and loves playdates! I also have two cats of my own. Pets in my care get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection in a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel right at home. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a three-legged dog in the past, which taught me how to adapt to special needs and provide compassionate, attentive care for pets of all abilities.
“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
About: I've been taking care of my corgi, Muffin, for 10+ years since she was a puppy! Trained, fed, walked, played, etc. I've done drop-by visits for both dogs and cats for pet parents who are traveling. I've also taken care of my neighbors dogs many times while the owners were out on vacation. Also included in my photos are farm animals that I had the pleasure of hanging out with the past two summers! Happy to accommodate to your pet sitting needs! As an upcoming college student currently working a part time job this summer, I have some free time to spare! I would love to help out in any way I can. In my home, me and my corgi play fetch and lounge around outside in our big fenced in backyard! I will put in the same amount of effort for your pets that I do for mine. There are also many amazing parks nearby where I walk my dog!
“My 2 girls really enjoy their walk with Kathryn. She takes the time to get to know your dog and really appreciate the notes she leaves after each walk.. I now have her walk them on a weekly schedule. I highly recommend as she truly goes above and beyond”
About: My love for animals of all kinds began in 6th grade and has only become more expansive as I have continued to care for the pets of my friends and neighbors. My senior dog is almost 18 years young so I am well versed in going above and beyond! As an educator my timing is flexible, especially for summer! I am looking to help families as another Rover.com pet sitter helped us with our senior dog. I will work with your dog's needs so that you are comfortable leaving and know that I am dedicated to keeping your pet happy and healthy. I have a lot of experience with keeping dogs who miss their families happy! As someone who teaches tiny humans I have a lot of experience in building trust. I know that some dogs have anxiety and I look to you in learning your dog's preferences and individual needs!
“Danica took wonderful care of my Bernedoodle Teddy. He enjoyed his daily walks and she left me great pics and information each visit. I highly recommend having her care for your pet. I will be using her service again 100%”
“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
“Julia was definitely one of the best dog walkers that I’ve used on Rover. She came for 4 walks over the course of 2 days- stayed longer than required, showed up on time (actually early each time), sent pics and a summary of the walk each time. And she is absolutely calm and kind! 100% recommend and will use her again if our calendars align!!”
About: I have had my Siberian Husky American Foxhound since 2019! She is my entire world and is like my child. I love getting to take care of her when I am not teaching little ones at school! I love dogs and everyone in my life has dogs. This includes another American Foxhound mix, a Pitbull mix, and a Labordoodle which I spend extended time with each. I would love to get a chance to walk your fur baby and take great care of them! I am currently done the school year and have my days open for summer break! I am hoping to fill that time with walking some adorable dogs! I live in an apartment so I take my dog on at least 2 walks a day. We often take her in the car to different places such as the beach. I am understanding that everyone has a different routine for their dog and that it is important for the dog and family to stay on that routine! The more information I am given about your dog the better care I am able to give them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away — whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I love keeping pets on their usual routine and making sure they get lots of attention and exercise. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they’re comfortable, loved, and secure. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routines. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities!
“Thank you, Gavin. French Fry gave you two paws up. He's very responsible, very reliable, and very attuned to my dog's needs. It will definitely use him again, and I have actually recommended him to my mom for her dogYou will definitely use him again and I actually have recommended him to my mom for her dog.”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon, so I have a very open and flexible schedule this summer! I do work part-time, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Since I don’t have many major summer plans, I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.

Lili visited with both Molly and I for a pre walk conversation for her to get to know Molly since Molly can be super finicky. Lili was patient and calm while Molly barked and sniffed and eventually calmed and got to know her. I think Lili and Molly will be good friends!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Yorklyn on Rover is $32.1 per walk (as of July 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 .

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 Yorklyn. 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 Yorklyn.

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 Yorklyn. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
