“Stefany has been amazing. She has been walking my dog for a while now. When my dog kennel fell through, she was able to step up and house sit my doggy and the four cats! She was absolutely neat, clean, and discreet. My dog has never had such a nice vacation.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve fed, walked, trained, given medications and even IV treatment to all of them. From babies to elderly pets, I have experience with them all. I have open availability any day of the week. I do have 2 children which depending on the time of day may need to come with me. I cannot stay overnight or have any pets at my home. I will feed, walk, give medication to and of course play and interact with your pet and tend to their needs. I know all animals have their own personality and am very patient and will work with all of their quirks and behaviors.
About: I provide attentive, home-style dog care with a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, and settle in comfortably. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic young dogs to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and have experience managing different feeding schedules, energy levels, medications, crate routines, and individual needs. I take introductions seriously and closely supervise interactions so everyone can get comfortable at their own pace. My goal is simple: I want your dog to enjoy being here. Whether they want to play in the yard, go for walks, hang out with the other dogs, or sleep on the couch most of the day, I adjust their stay around what makes them comfortable. I send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your trip knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and having a good time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which gives me plenty of time for regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, walks, play, and attention throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around the dogs in my care and follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and wants plenty of activity or prefers to relax and lounge around the house, I’m able to adjust the day to what they’re used to at home. My home is set up to give dogs plenty of space to play, relax, and feel comfortable during their stay. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, and dogs are never left outside unattended. Inside, I have enough space to give dogs separate areas when they need downtime, personal space, or a break from the other dogs. I carefully supervise interactions and introduce dogs at a comfortable pace rather than immediately putting everyone together. I’m also comfortable with crating when needed, following specific feeding or medication instructions, and maintaining the routines your dog is used to at home. I keep the environment clean and provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your dog is doing.
About: Hi I am an illustrator from Washington D.C. I am a former graphic designers and Production Specialist at the Washington Navy Yard. I also have five years dog waking experience which began In 2014 during my college spring break. I have worked off an on as a dog walker since then. I am a relaxed dog walker who does not get frustrated with extremely hyper dogs. I am also pretty big so I will not be pulled and yanked around by rambunctious pups. I am pretty accommodating to the needs of the owners. If you prefer your dog walked solo that can be arranged. I have been doing this a long time so I’m am used to being around dogs and look forward to walking your family member.
“Vatia has been great with Coco! She is always prompt and communicative. She is now a regular walker for Coco and we appreciate her services. I would highly recommend Vatia.”
“Jane was great! I could tell from how relaxed my little boy was when I got home each day that he felt really comfortable with her. Her walks were always on time, she sent photos and responded to questions I had about my dog’s health. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs since childhood. As an adult, I’ve adopted and fostered four dogs and worked closely with trainers to deal with obedience, reactivity, and impulse control. As a helper to you and your pet, I will prioritize earning your dog or cat’s trust, being consistent with your routine and training goals, and showing them all the love I have to give. You can count on me, and I’ll aend more photos than you need to prove it! ☺️ I work from home and can adjust my meeting schedule easily. I have two dogs myself and understand how important routine is. As long as we plan ahead, we can make anything work! I offer walks, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home. Happy to care for the plants as well. ☺️ Depending on the distance, I can stay overnight or make multiple daily trips while balancing care for my own fur babies.

“Jared did a great job. It was the first time I’ve ever used a do walker, and he made everything easy. Showed up on time, followed my special instructions for food and meds, and even rinsed out my dog’s bowl. Everything was nicely documented in Rover. Excellent work, would recommend again.”

About: As a cat owner, I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your fur baby with someone you can trust. I'm patient, attentive, and mindful of each cat's unique personality, boundaries and routine. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box changing, playtime, and plenty of affection they want. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for drop-in visits throughout the week. I prioritize being reliable, following your cat's routine, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for while you're away. I offer cat sitting in your home and overnight stays, keeping your cat comfortable in their familiar environment. I'll follow their feeding schedule, refresh their water, clean their litter box, and make time for play, companionship, and cuddles if they're up for it.
About: Will be out of the state August 19th-28th Overnight for Thanksgiving is booked, drop ins available only. Growing up in a home overflowing with animals, I discovered a deep passion for pet care especially for those with special needs. Over the years, I’ve managed feline renal failure, cerebral cortex disorders, diabetes, senior dogs requiring mobility assistance, and pets coping with blindness, deafness, or anxiety. This expertise allows me to provide truly individualized, compassionate care for every animal. In 2026, I’ll be starting my formal certification in feline behavior to complement my medical needs experience and provide even more specialized care for cats who need patience, understanding, and a customized approach. I often joke that I connect better with animals than people, and it’s this bond that drives me to offer consistent, reliable care particularly for clients who struggle to find sitters familiar with their pet’s specific needs. As a special‑needs pet owner myself, I know how crucial it is to trust your caregiver implicitly. That’s why I pride myself on delivering a level of expertise and sensitivity that brings both you and your pet peace of mind. In addition to cats and dogs, I care for small animals from rabbits, gerbils, chinchillas, hamsters, and more. I currently maintain an active “mischief” of five rats, ensuring they receive ample out‑of‑enclosure time and enrichment. Before launching my pet‑care business, I worked as a pharmacy technician and spent six years as my mother’s full‑time caregiver until her recent passing. I also rescued a stray five‑year‑old cat who took 18 months to trust me but once she did, she truly flourished. Experiences like these have reinforced my commitment to patient, attentive care. My philosophy rests on transparency, honesty, and dependability. I’ve cared for breeds of all sizes from Chihuahuas to 100+‑pound Rotties and adapt my approach to suit each animal’s temperament and needs. Please note: Availability: My calendar updates weekly but may not reflect private bookings immediately. Travel surcharge: $1 per minute (beyond 15 minutes from Beltsville), calculated daily. Overnight stays: Walks are not included unless requested in advance ($14 per 20‑minute walk). Midday breaks: Every dog in my care receives a potty break and cuddle session each day. I remain with them at all times, even in a fenced yard, for their safety. I carry private insurance to protect your pet and your home. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch I’d love to help! I do pet care full-time, so my routine is based around what I booked for that day. Due to this it often changes day to day. When outside I like to be outside with them, even if there is a fenced in back yard just to ensure everyone remains safe and secure.
“Hailey did a great job and was wonderful to work with! She was super helpful in coordinating the right kind of walk/drop in visit that we needed. She asked lots of questions during our meet and greet and was very patient when we were running late. Ella had a great time and and Hailey made sure to send lots of pictures and communicate during the visit as well! Would definitely recommend and use her again!!”

About: If you are looking for someone to take the absolute best care of your pets and keep your home immaculate, please continue reading. I have an extensive background with dogs, especially my high-energy Jack Russells that I’ve raised since 8 weeks old. They have taught me so much! I love to spoil my pets and your pets, too. My Dad is a K-9 trainer and handler trainer for Homeland Security (specializing in explosives detection) and my sister works at a pet resort. We love dogs. It is in our blood. I have a lot of experience, patience, and understanding especially with puppy and senior care. I love meeting new pets and know they are our children because I treat mine like they’re my children, as well. Your pets and home will be in great hands with me. Additional pet rate discounts may be available upon request. I am currently working virtually so I will always be home with your pets. I have plenty of time to spoil, love, play with, and exercise your babies. I know how important it is to have the reassurance that someone is with your pets, pretty much, at all times. When I am away pet/house sitting, my dogs are staying with and being spoiled rotten by their grandparents. Safety/trust is the most important part of being any parent. I will watch and protect your own as if they were my own. Also, I am extremely clean and will take care of your house just the same as I would mine. I’ve always believed, when in anyone’s home and once leaving, it should always look the same, like I was never there.

Alexander was very quick to respond. Enjoyed our meet and greet. Our dog loved him and his wife right away! He is very detailed with information about his outing/walks with our dog with pictures and a trail map of his route. I would use him again without a problem!
Astrid adores my pup and the feeling is very mutual.I tI booked a last minute Saturday dog walk so my pJack wouldn't be home alone all day while I entertained of town guests. Astrid came by walked Jack and refilled his kibble.She knows the exact spots on Jacks neck and behind his ears to scratch so he just loves Astrid after only a few short weeks. She is very responsive and everything we could ever want in a dog walker. Highly recommend!.
I’ve had a wonderful experience with my dog walker! She is reliable, consistent, and always arrives at the agreed upon time to pick up Ozzy. I especially appreciate the photos and updates she sends during his walks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
I highly recommend Tiera! She has been walking my boy, Ozzy, and has been wonderful from day one. She is dependable, professional, and always arrives at the agreed upon time. I never have to worry because I know Ozzy is in good hands. One of the things I appreciate most is that she sends photos during every walk, which gives me peace of mind and lets me see what Ozzy is doing during their walk. She is also patient, caring, and attentive to his needs, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the dogs she works with. If you're looking for someone who is reliable and trustworthy, I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Cameron responded quickly to each of my messages and was on-time for our booking. Cameron was terrific with our dog! She warmed up to Cameron almost immediately and was very happy when she returned from her walk. And, as a first-time Rover-user, Cameron helped walk me through the app. We’ll definitely be repeat clients and would highly recommend Cameron.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Ammendale is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,363 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ammendale. 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 Ammendale. 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 Ammendale 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ammendale. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
