“Ela is a kind, compassionate, and dedicated addition to my dogs care team! Ela excels at communicating with myself and my dog (Toad) so I always know how he's doing and trust she'll be taking care of his needs. This is the first dog walker I've ever hired, such a great experience to start with. I plan on having Ela be a long term walker for Toad.”
“Mariah has walked my puppy 5 times and is terrific with her. She spends extra time making sure she gets a lot of exercise, and sends pictures each time. I will continue to use her and recommend her highly!”
“Brandon did a great job walking Zoe! It gives me peace of mind to have someone I can trust to come into my home and take care of Zoe while my husband and I are at work. I know Zoe enjoyed the extra exercise and attention!”
“Jordan was amazing! She was so flexible, communicative, and was able to help when unexpected things came up. She gave love and care to all our animals and we were super grateful to her! Would absolutely use her again & recommend to friends/family!”
About: Hi! My name is MaKenzi and I have had pets as long as I can remember, I grew up with two pitbulls rescues, two smaller dogs, and an older cat that I assumed most of the care for as both parents worked full time jobs. Taking care of multiple animals at one time requires a lot of energy and the ability to organize the things they need well but I learned very quickly! Since I have lived on my own I have helped friends and coworkers with taking care of their beloved fur babies while they’re on vacation or just need an extra hand with their pets. In the last year I have rescued my own kitten and I have absolutely spoiled her with all of the patience, love, affection, and extra care that her heart could desire.
“Alyssa was able to accommodate my last minute booking request and was great with communication before and during service. My dog is highly anxious and she did wonderful with her! She took the time to ask questions and get to know her and what she needed.”
“Tiffany has been great. Our Molly warmed to her from the first moment she walked through the door. Molly is good with most people, but sometimes she takes a moment to work up to it. Tiffany must have given off great vibes because Molly treated her like one of the family the first second. Tiffany is communicative and reliable and most importantly, our dog is happy to see her every time. We have no doubts that our Molly is well taken care of and gets everything she needs. We cannot recommend Tiffany enough.”
About: I have been pet sitting, walking and caring since I was in grade school. Growing up I had the best dog in the world whom I would walk, and play with everyday. I recently lost her to age related causes. But there is nothing more I desire than to show up for other pups and give them the love and care I always gave my Jessie! I am a student, I would be able to walk your pup after class, preferably 11:30 would be a great time for my available days, but I am free every Friday morning too. I am also extremely active and love being outdoors! I do not offer service in my home but I will treat all my clients homes with love and care! As well as tend to any and all needs.
“I was very comfortable during our first meeting. Dakota is warm, friendly and it did not take long for my girl to warm up to her with a few treats. She has been walking my little girl on a repeat now for several weeks. I highly recommend her.”
“Wonderful! They had to come back early because of a potential loose dog. But we were very impressed and happy Kyle put our dog first with his safety since he is dog reactive.”
“AMAZING! Great communication, my pup loves seeing her and spending time with her and she keeps him fresh on his skills!! It's so great to have found a fellow puppy raiser-- even though Potter is no longer in training, Bridget was easily able to pick up on his foundational skills and knowledge without me telling her and it's great for Potter to be able to practice and use some of that, even if it's just to work his brain and tire him out a little more!”
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 40 years and have spent more than 30 years caring for pets for friends and family. My mom runs a cat rescue and is a former vet tech, which gave me a strong understanding of proper, attentive pet care from an early age. I’m also a trusted real estate agent with over 23 years of experience, which reflects my commitment to being reliable and trustworthy. I take pride in being genuine, well-liked, and someone people can depend on. I have a flexible work schedule and am highly organized when it comes to managing appointments and commitments. If I am unable to assist, I will always respond promptly so you can make other arrangements without delay. I am happy to provide care in your home and follow all instructions you provide to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and needs, and I take care to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as directed.
About: I have owned many dogs since I was little. I have always been responsible with their health and making sure they are taken care of on the daily. My furry loved one will always go on adventures with me to include hiking, camping, backpacking, swimming so they are never left alone. I have completed dog training through sit- means- sit to help my current rescue Maxx with his separation anxiety and for me to become a better dog. owner I work full time from 7am to 3 pm Monday- Friday. I work 5 minutes from my home and on occasion can swing by to check on a furry friend if needed. I have a decent sized secured fenced in yard for your fur pup to run around in. While they are inside I have 3 levels with plenty of space for them the lounge about. Also room to put a crate if needed.

Cassie took wonderful care of Bodhi for the week! She was communicative, attentive, knowledgeable on dog behavior (especially how to handle a loose dog approaching them and an encounter with a goat). She took the time to meet with me before I left to ensure her and Bodhi felt comfortable with each other and she knew the routine. She was adaptable to an emergency change and handled it all in stride. I would most certainly recommend Cassie to anyone needing care for their pet.
I’m soo happy that I came across Cindy’s profile. Bane loves her to death already which is weird it takes time for him to warm up to people but not Cindy , she must be some sort of dog whisperer 😂 🐕 . Bane weighs 140lbs and I was at first worried because usually I let men walk him because of his size and power but Cindy had no issues whatsoever this lady knows what’s she’s doing . She is very knowledgeable too soo many things I learned about my own dog I’ve had for almost 6 years . I will most definitely be continuing services with Cindy ! She’s the one you want working your pup!

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 Abingdon. 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 Abingdon.

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 Abingdon. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
