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.

About: I’m an attentive, patient, and genuinely dog-loving sitter who understands that every pup has their own routines.I’m comfortable with all kinds of care including structured playtime, feeding routines and keeping their environment clean and calm. What sets me apart is my reliability, my calm demeanor, and my genuine passion for giving dogs a positive, stress-free experience while you're away. Being a cat parent, pet care fits into my daily routine like an intergral part. I have a full-time job but I can cater to after hours services. I'm available for weekends and holidays as well. I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I pay attention to keep their environment calm and clean, will follow your instructions closely, and treat your home and pet with the same respect I do with mine own. You can trust that your pet is in caring, responsible hands.

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: 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.

Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!

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.

Monica was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She walked them multiple times and was always on time and sent tons of pics when she was with them, giving this fur mama 100% piece of mind. I work 12 plus hour shifts and just knowing they were in good hands a couple times a day, out of their crate, and on a walk is such a wonderful feeling. Use Monica! You will not regret it!!

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 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.

Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 134 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.
