About: My husband and I have taken care of our friend’s teddy, Pomeranian, Rottweiler and Labrador retriever, Friends have relied on us to walk, feed, and board their pets when they are at school, at work, on vacation or when they had to deal with emergency situations. I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule where I work from home on Mondays and also I have Fridays off as well meaning I am able to pet sit from Friday to Monday night! We have a fenced back yard, and a very large grassed park area behind our townhome. My husband and I loveeee going for walks, would be thrilled to take your furry out to explore some new smells near our home. Happy to provide updates with photos through out the day.
“She always arrives on time, follows all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, makes our dog Coco so happy. We trust her completely with Coco’s walks, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommended!”
“Samantha is absolutely amazing! She has been endlessly patient with our anxious, stubborn puppy! Samantha just showers her with love and our puppy is ecstatic to be with her. Samantha is incredibly reliable and an excellent communicator. We are so grateful for Samantha!”
“Trent is absolutely wonderful. He made going away for a weekend without our two large dogs stress free. Trent gave us detailed messages about how each of their walks went, followed all of our guidelines and it was easy to tell our dogs trusted him and enjoyed his company. He handled our reactive 80lbs dog with grace and ease. We would recommend him to anybody! One of the most reliable and easy experiences we’ve had with someone else caring for our pups. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Let me tell you about Cleo’s best friend Monique!!!! I went on a last minute trip and had to leave Cleo behind for the first time. I was SO anxious and felt super guilty about leaving her alone. Monique was very diligent about showing up, sending reports, and following my tedious instructions about leaving the TV on/moving our coffee table for our roomba lol. I felt like she actually wanted to be there and love on Cleo. Cleo loves tug of war and Monique would play with her literally every time she visited and made sure she got her treat’o’s. I’m glad I don’t have to go through the trial and error process of finding our go to dog sitter for Cleo! I’ll be contacting her very soon for their next play date.”
“Ari is AWESOME!! My dog Milo has terrible separation anxiety and is dealing with living in a new home. Ari spent so much time with him trying comfort and reassure him. After one day with her walking him he was barking and jumping on her when she walked in the door. She gives him cuddles, talks to him (which he loves) and hides treats for him so he will be busy for a while when she walks out the door. I would absolutely recommend Ari. :)”
“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs almost my whole life. I’ve been trusted to walk, feed and play with them. I am not a professional trainer but can adapt to help with the process! I’m currently a student at college but since I am mainly online I usually can be pretty flexible! I can do walks mostly on an as needed basis I will not be doing in home care but overall I will be making sure leashes are snug on and all doors closed within reach of the pet.
About: Hi! My name is Manu and I truly love animals. I have had pets for most of my life, and I also have 5 years of experience caring for other people’s pets, which has helped me understand different routines, personalities, and needs. Taking care of pets is not just a job for me, it’s something that genuinely makes me happy. I love watching them grow, play, go on walks, and socialize. I enjoy spending time with them, taking them on walks, playing, making sure they eat well, and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I am very patient, caring, responsible, and detail-oriented. I understand that every pet is unique, so I adapt to their habits, energy level, and specific needs to provide personalized care. You can feel confident knowing I will treat your pet as if they were part of my own family. My priority is to make them feel comfortable, safe, cared for, and loved while they are with me. I would be honored to take care of your furry friend and give them all the love, attention, and fun they deserve.☺️ Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule through my cleaning work, which allows me to organize my day around the pets’ needs. If required, I can adjust my full day to focus on caring for the pets, ensuring they receive the attention, walks, feeding, and companionship they deserve. My flexible availability allows me to be reliable, attentive, and present, whether it’s for drop-in visits, walks, or extended care. I always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness, treating them with love and patience as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep their environment clean, calm, and comfortable so they feel secure in their familiar space. I also give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they never feel lonely while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I supervise them closely, maintain their feeding schedule, provide playtime, and ensure they get enough exercise, rest, and attention. I also provide updates, photos, and communication to keep owners reassured and informed about their pet’s well-being.
“Alejandra was incredibly responsive and really helped us out in a pinch, doing more than was originally asked of her. Grateful to have found her and will continue to use her services!”
“Claudia is the best!!!!! I can't say enough good things. She is reliable, trustworthy and so awesome with my dog. Koda is selective on what humans he likes and very stubborn. Claudia has taken the time to get to know Koda and I know he is in the best hands. Thank you Claudia!!!!”
“Nicole is a super star! She’s been our go-to dog walker for our little Luna for quite a few months now. She is always punctual, kind, and courteous. Luna has stayed with her a couple of times overnight, once being an emergency situation where I had to leave and Nicole was so kind, responded quickly and was more than happy to take Luna on such short notice, she was truly an angel!! She is so respectful of our home and I feel no qualms about her entering and leaving while I’m at work. She gives highly detailed updates and lets me know immediately if she thinks something is wrong with Luna. Luna absolutely loves her Mama Nicole, and I honestly can’t sing her praise enough!”
“Keirsten is wonderful. She's great with my dogs. I'm really happy to find her on here. I usually walk my dogs myself but I can't for a bit and my friends that help are out of town. Keirsten had no problem with my late request for just a few hours away from the current time. She's polite, sweet and I trust her with my fur babies! They are energetic Siberian Huskies so they're always on the go.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Annandale
This was my first experience using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier. Cassie was amazing, and I sincerely hope she is always available to walk/board my Labrador when I need her. From our first meeting I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She is trustworthy, reliable, provides timely communication and was a joy to work with. Rover is very lucky to have her on their team.
Sophie is responsive to requests and communicated very well. She was accommodating for a kind of last minute request and also let me know how things went afterward. I was happy she was available to give my pup a midday trip outside and some nice attention too. She listened to everything I shared about Elli and her habits & was very comfortable. Thanks, Sophie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Annandale on Rover is $22.2 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 Annandale. 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 Annandale.

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 Annandale. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
