“The sweetest and most caring dog sitter! Monica went above and beyond to make sure my Nova girl was comfortable while I was away on vacation. Nova doesn’t leave my room when I’m not home, but with Monica’s patience and calming energy, she came out!! What a relief! Highly recommend!!!!!”
“Walter is the most important thing in the world to me, so finding someone I trust with him isn’t easy. From day one, Nahria has been absolutely incredible. She is reliable, professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. One thing that really impressed is how much she genuinely cares about Walter’s happiness and well-being. She has gone out of her way to scout out local dog parks and take him on adventures instead of just doing the minimum. Walter absolutely loves getting to explore new places, and it’s clear she puts real thought and effort into making sure he has a great time and is safe. She has also been incredibly flexible with my work schedule and has always made sure Walter was taken care of when I needed help. Knowing that I can count on her, even when things change at the last minute, has been invaluable. She always keeps me updated, sends great photos, and treats Walter with the same kindness and attention that I would. Walter is always excited to see her, which really says everything. If you’re looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and truly exceptional with dogs, I cannot recommend Nahria highly enough. Walter and I are both incredibly grateful for everything she has done, and I would not hesitate to book her again. Five stars all the way.”
“So Happy to have found Stephanie on Rover for Sailor Girl's walks! Stephanie is dependable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. She and Sailor hit it off from the first moment they met. Takes away my worries about Sailor when I am away at work, knowing Sailor is being cared for by Stephanie.”
About: Growing up, we had black labs. Now, I have a black lab mix. I have learned so much over the years training and working with my own dogs. I am a teacher with the summer off. I have always wanted to do this full time, so let's see where this summer takes me! I love my dog and senior cat. I spend a lot of time with them. I take Charlie, my black lab, everywhere I go. We go to the dog park, parks and hikes. I also have had cats all of my adult years. I have had a diabetic and asthmatic cat. My current cat, Logan, is nineteen and doing great! I am attentive to their needs and will be attentive to your pet's needs, too.
About: I've been an animal lover since I was a child and have always been around animals every moment I could. Unfortunately I could not have pets at my parent's home as a child due to the rental agreement. I'm happy to say that now I am the fur mamma of 3 precious dachshunds and one very sweet and vocal kitty. There's never a dull moment at my house! I have 7 years of dog and cat sitting experience. Several families depend on me to care for their pets while away on vacation. I thoroughly enjoy my time with these fur babies and it is quite evident that they love me in return. I am experienced with bathing, and medication administration as well. I also have several years of experience taking care of and boarding pets for elderly people who need a hand caring for their pets, such as bathing them and taking them to the vet's office for them. I'm currently working part time 3 days a week. I will have plenty of time to spoil your pets. Occasionally I pick up extra days but will avoid picking anything up if I know I'm going to be taking care of your pets. I follow whatever instructions you leave me. I prefer a written note laid out where I can easily refer to it. This is especially helpful to me if you have multiple pets with different routines. I not only complete daily routines with pets, but I also like to spend some quality time playing or snuggling with your pet as I know they are missing you very much while you are away.
“Ken is awesome! My two pups love him. They whine when we pull up to be dropped off. They are exhausted and miss Ken and his dogs when they leave! So grateful to have him walk the pups, welcome them into his home and show them love when I cant!”
About: I have taken care of dogs basically my entire life. I am 25 years old and I had a dog for the first 18 years of my life. This is the first time in my life I do not have one because I cannot afford to give one the life it deserves. I am very patient and loving with pets and will help make them feel comfortable around me. I have taken care of puppies all the way up to 13 year old dogs. I am willing to come meet the pets to make sure they would not be scared of me and I understand that not all pets will like me, but I can try to work with them if needed. I can also take pictures of your pets if you would like me to. I know how to bathe dogs, but I let them air dry. I am currently doing pet sitting full time and would love to help you out! I recently moved back to Abingdon and would like to get some new clients! I currently do not have a place to bring animals to, but I am willing to stay with your pets at your home. I clean up after the pets and myself and will try to leave your home spotless. If you would also like me to clean your house, I absolutely love cleaning. I can follow feeding schedules and use whatever rules you have set in place to ensure your pet sticks to what you have been teaching them.
About: I have been surrounded by animals especially dogs my whole life. I love animals, I have taken small animal care and vet science to expand my knowledge about animals. I have dog sat and taken care of my dogs ever since I could remember. I love taking dog on walks, playing fetch, and giving them all the attention they need. I am a club volleyball coach and currently a graduating senior at ETSU. I am a dog mom myself, so I understand the time comments and the attention they need. I would love to spend my time taking care and waking dogs anytime I can! I am always there for any needs my or other dogs may need. I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs so I can care for different types.
About: Im naturally good with animals. I have volunteered at animal shelters, and in my lifetime, i have owned three dachshunds, a Jack Russell, and a Collie. I would treat anyone's pet as my own and I would love to be a part of your fur babies daily walks! I work but my schedule is flexible. So just check my availability or send me a request. Currently unable to board overnight at my home but I can pet sit at my home for a few hours. I have access to a dog park where I live. I have access to dog park. My home is very pet friendly and safe. There are no other animals in my home at this time.
About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs & cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, chickens, lizards, and a chinchilla. My love for animals is limitless & my goal is to improve the life of every animal I can reach. I am currently taking courses online to sharpen my skills pertaining to grooming, learning different breeds, training, diet & health. I have acquired many different brushes, supplements, flea combs, scissors and other supplies to keep your pet clean & tidy. I keep lots of treats in my kit including cat treats, cat nip, dog treats, calming pheromone spray & highly digestible bones. I enjoy cooking for pets when I can, making it feel more like going to Grandma's house instead of day care 😉 I am very attentive to moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have treated sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections, and followed food regimens. I've been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with the not-so-fun parts. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, toys, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not very busy, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I'm always looking for new spots to walk & hike, making sure your bestie doesn't get bored ☺️ I strive to work with pet parents to provide high standard, seamless care for every animal & your peace of mind. There is nothing I won't do to ensure the safety & happiness of your pet. Frivolous is not in my vocabulary 🫡 I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

About: I’ve had at least two dogs my whole life. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic obedience reinforcement, and providing structured playtime to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I work a different job monday-wednesday and sometimes other random days. Other than that i’m usually free to watch your animals. I’m also pretty flexible! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health changes, and provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
About: I am a mother to a wonderful eleven year old, Kiera. And we have a boy dog named Koda! My love for animals started at a young age and I know that love will never end. I have spent the past 10 years working in restaurants as a manager, event worker, host, server, bartender. I've also spent the last five years working with kids, in a childcare setting at a local church \ pre school. As I move through this next chapter I just recently received my degree for holistic health and am furthering my educations for specifications in holistic health care. I recently moved back to Bristol so I am ultimately looking for a second income while I get everything established. I am available for almost anything and look forward to being able to love and play with all of your fur babies! I recently moved back to the area and am doing part time work until I am fully re-established. My child is in school and I have plenty of open areas to take care of your fur babies! I always treat my animals with the same love and care I treat any person or child in my care. I have a lot of compassion and love for all living beings!
About: I've had a dog or multiple dogs at once since I was 4...my husband and I currently have 6 labs along with 2 cats, and my mothers maltipoo...We have outdoor kennels and we do offer in home boarding for smaller dogs and upon request depending on situation/circumstances and pet personality.We love our dogs and will treat yours like ours. We are currently working from home. So alot of our time is devoted to our animals.we have 2 boys who help out and love animals too. We make sure our kennels are cleaned daily and anything else that is needed.We are homebodies so we are with our animals should they need anything, plus our extra time means extra playtime outside of the kennels.

About: I grew up on a farm so I have experience with many different kinds of animals as well as administering medications. I have also cared for my own pets from babies through the golden years. I had two cats with diabetes that required sugar tests and insulin shots. I currently have a sheltie that is high energy and loves play time. My husband and I currently work from home so we are available to your beloved member of the family as requested. We are usually up around 7am and go to sleep about 10pm With a fenced in yard, play time can be any time for as long as they want. There are also some nice walking areas around my home that are very low in traffic as it is usually just the fellow home owners around.
About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.
About: I'm a quick learner with a genuine love for animals. I enjoy building strong bonds with pets and understanding their individual needs. My passion for animals drives me to provide attentive, caring, and personalized care, making sure each pet feels safe and loved. I’m eager to learn and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure both pets and owners are happy. I’m currently working a part time job but it won’t stop me from meeting a new friend i have a weird schedule just text me and we can chat about him/her!! Im always open for cuddles ALWAYS !! They will be spoiled as if they are my own I promise. And we have no rules in this house 😎

FAQs for Dog Walking - Abingdon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Abingdon on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of June 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 .
As of June 2026, there are 131 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Abingdon. 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 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
