About: I’ve care for family dogs my entire life, giving me experience with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and routines. I myself had a pitbull mastiff and am comfortable caring for all dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection while following each owner’s instructions carefully. My experience caring for senior cats with changing health needs has also made me patient, observant, and attentive to subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or comfort. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a slower, calmer routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like family. I’m available to take care of your pets with a 1-2 day’s notice - 1 for walking and drop-ins, and 2 for house sitting. If you need to cancel, please provide notice 3 days prior. I do not offer services regarding keeping animals at my home. I have no problem with crate-trained animals and will follow whatever specific instructions you leave regarding your animals’ care and needs.
“After our walker canceled last minute, I was so lucky to find Annie. She truly is a gem. The dogs took to her so quickly and I can tell she gave them lots of love while we were out of town this wknd. Will have to plan another weekend away soon so they can have more time with her! 🐾💕”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I were very worried about trying to find care for our dog Whiskey. He has a lot of anxiety around new people and some medical issues as well. Nicole has gone above and beyond for Whiskey. Nicole spent over hour with him on their first walk, so that Whiskey could get accustomed to her at his own pace. Of course, now they are best friends and Whiskey always looks forward to his walk with Nicole. This past week Whiskey was very sick, and Nicole was able to utilize her years of veterinary experience to assess him and ensure that he was okay to make it until I got home from work. Nicole is incredibly kind, outgoing, and reliable. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and attentive to Whiskey and his needs. My fiancé, and I truly could not have found a better person to walk and care for our dog. Thank you so much, Nicole! 🤍”

“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.

“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!”

Lucy was great, my dog immediately liked her and was comfortable enough to go on walks with her despite separation anxiety. Lucy is easy to communicate with and a quick responder to messages, I was able to let her know the evening before one of the walks that my dog would need a medication the next day.
Lindsay is terrific. She’s everything I want for my dog. She’s a good communicator and has always been on time. She’s very good with my pup— can tell she has lots of experience with dogs. And she genuinely enjoys my guy, who’s very goofy and idiosyncratic. I’m very happy to be working with her.
Giang helped my anxious pups feel at ease right away! She's clearly an animal lover and they warmed up quickly with her. She's also a fantastic communicator - very prompt and clear. Highly recommend and so grateful to have found her as someone trustworthy that both me and my pups can rely on.
I ended up in a last minute bind and reached out to Sierra to provide 2 dog walks for me the following day. She responded quickly, worked with my time frame, and had great communication. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby and being available last minute!!! Will certainly reach out if i need care again
As always Han was great with Baxter, our 80 pound bernedoodle who is not great on a leash. She did his morning walk every day for two weeks was very communicative and responsive. She provided comments in his Rover card about how it went, which was both informative and entertaining. Highly recommend her!
It's been so wonderful having Ruby walk my pup. I'm very protective over him and she has done a great job putting me at ease. She's always on time and responsive which is a huge deal for me. She handles all his crazy golden energy in stride. Highly recommend her.
My Luna girl LOVED Makaylah and was comfortable with her from the get go- which doesn’t always happen as Luna has… big feels lol. Makaylah handled her well, gave her good exercise, and communicated well with me regarding walks (and her move 😔)Sad to see her move away, she is great!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Annandale on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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
- 95% 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.
