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 currently in between jobs so I’m available to take care of your pets within a day’s notice. If you need to cancel, please provide notice 3 days prior. I do not offer services regarding keeping animals at my home, as we have too many that aren’t socialized. I have no problem with crate trained animals and will follow whatever specific instructions you leave regarding your animals’ care and needs.
“Sam was amazing! Weather conditions were tough annd we have 14 year old dog. Sam was super communicative and paid attention to what our doggo needed extra snuggles, some play time, and walks at his pace. Thank you so much Sam for taking the best care of our doggo! So grateful to have found you!”
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.
“Monique was great! She was very accommodating and fit us in on New Years Eve. My pup was very comfortable with her and SO happy to be getting some exercise! Very grateful to Monique for her time and for Julep's walk!”
“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!”
“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!”

“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! 🤍”
“Caryl is so sweet and great to work with. She takes cute pictures of our dog and lets us know how each walk went. She’s quick to respond and is professional. We definitely recommend working with her.”
About: I’ve had a dog from a young age and love animals. I have sat for many other friends and family. I love taking care of animals and making sure they are happy. I currently am working full time so I’m available outside of 9-5. I’m free every weekend and completely dedicated to the animals I am watching. I am able to follow the owners instructions in their home. I currently do not have space to care in my home. I will do as I am told and do what their animal needs
“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 have grown up around dogs my whole life. I will tailor my walks to ensure each dog has the best experience possible. If you need a walker I am your guy. I am able to be flexible with my schedule as needed whether you need me on weekdays or weekends. I will also walk early mornings if necessary. As a dog walker I will ensure we stay in safe areas that have enough sidewalk for the dog’s safety. I will check occasionally how your dog feels and adjust walks.
About: I’ve personally taken care of cats and dogs. Previously, have trained a puppy. So I know the calmness and patience needed to care for pets. Also, timely updates are very useful for the pet owner. Thanks. I currently don’t work, so I have a lot of time and availability for pet sitting. Please let me know in advance and I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and tasks. I have a beautiful one apartment, so there’s lots of space to freely walk. I lock away cleaning chemicals. There is lots of space to keep familiar pet items near.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Annandale
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!
Mike is an extremely professional pet sitter. I have booked him more than once and I will continue to do so. He has stayed at my dwelling and I trust he will take care of my dog very well. Mike sends regular updates with pictures that keep me up to date with my senior dog.
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!

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.
