About: I have a love for animals that has driven me to seek out experiences and advice that has helped me gain an abundance of pet care knowledge, despite growing up without any furry friends. I am a young and active person, able to keep up with the most energetic of dogs. I am also quite detail-oriented, and will follow your pet care details to a T, ensuring your pet is happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I am able to care for your pet morning, afternoon, or evening! If I am unable to do so, I will ensure to respond to your message promptly. I will not be able to let your pet into my own home due to some of my family members having allergies. In your home, I will remain respectful of your space and follow any given care instructions perfectly to ensure a happy and healthy pet!

About: Animals are a special interest of mine and I’m hoping to eventually study to become a veterinarian one day! I own 4 pets, 3 being rescues who I love dearly. I currently have a flexible schedule and have plenty of time to engage and play with your pets! Feel free to reach out to me for any questions or concerns as needed. I maintain a routine with my animals with feedings and walks (dog), and also include play time to ensure they are getting attention in addition to care. I follow a similar routine when caring for others’ pets while also following whatever special instructions are required.

About: I worked in a vet clinic as a teenager. Very comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. Can also care for other pets in household (fish,birds, rodents) I'm employed part-time and have a great deal of flexibility to adjust my hours to accommodate your pet's schedule and individual needs. I will adhere to my clients requests for their individual pets. All pets have their own personality and schedule, and being sensitive to that helps pets be less stressed when their owners are away.

About: **PLEASE GO TO BOTTOM FOR DETAILS ABOUT MY AVAILABILITY ** *** I HAVE BASE ACCESS*** Hello everyone! My name is Kaleigh and I cannot wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have been away from pet sitting for awhile navigating a career and mom life, but I have missed being able to meet all the fur babies! I cannot wait to start taking care of any and all fur babies trusted to my car. I am a mom to three silly boys and two fur babies. Tyke is a pittie rescue with an old soul who just wants to lay around and get ear scratches. Blue is your typical chocolate lab, always hungry and always hyper! I have a fenced in back yard with shade and sunshine and tons of trails near by for exercise. I am more than happy to handle meds or special diets as Tyke has medical needs of his own. I have several vet professionals as friends and have an abundance of resources to handle any possible situation that may arise. Pups are welcome to join us anywhere in the house or lounge where they are comfy. The house 100% dog safe with anything that could cause harm put up and away. I’m a firm believer that pets are angels on earth and I have made it my goal in life to love on and spoil as many as I can! We can’t wait to meet you! If you send a request between the hours of 10:00pm to 7:00am, I will respond at or around 7:00. **if you ever have an emergency and need to go out of town, I understand things happen and will do my absolute best to accommodate your need to include extended stays! AVAILABILITY I do work full-time on Quantico. Typically Monday through Friday I am only available for drop ins and dog walks after work. However, if I can make an accommodation and adjust my schedule depending on your needs, I am more than happy to do that during my work. Visits midday Monday through Friday would be limited to 30 minutes. I am more than happy to see if we can work out and accommodation and I can make an adjustment to make sure that your pet is comfortable and your pet needs are met. I work full time on quantico so I am close by my home and able to get home quickly if needed. On weekends I stay local and try to stay home as much as possible. Typically, I will only be available after work Monday through Friday. However, I am more than happy to work with you and adjust my schedule if possible to make sure that your pet care needs are taken care of. This will be on a case by case basis, but I am more than happy to do the best I can. I have a fenced in yard and security cameras to maintain constant supervision of your pups. My family also enjoys outside time so almost anytime your pup is outside, so are we.

About: I have grown up with dogs, and have had many dogs from small ones to big ones. I learned how to train puppies, and take care of senior dogs — since I have had a few of my own! I am currently working part-time, so don’t worry about reaching out to me about when I am available. I usually respond back pretty quick unless I am at work. I am fine with any hour of the day as long as I am not working :3 I dont offer boarding unfortunately since my current living situation has roommates, and we have pets already. They are all friendly, but I don’t want to push the boundaries until we have moved into our new home.

About: I have been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, with a deep love for them even as a small child. Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in the rescue field, where I’ve gained invaluable experience caring for animals of all kinds, including those with special needs. Personally, I care for four wonderful paralyzed dogs, which has taught me a great deal about compassion, patience, and providing specialized care. This background has shaped my understanding of animals and their unique needs, and I strive to ensure that every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and well looked after. As a full-time professional, I balance my work responsibilities with my passion for caring for pets. I commute to Washington, D.C., three days a week, but I ensure that my time away is brief, so my pets and those I care for never feel the difference. On the other two days, I work remotely, which allows me to provide even more flexibility and attention to the pets in my care. No matter my schedule, I am fully committed to offering reliable, loving care for your furry family members. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I take great care to create a safe, clean, and stress-free environment where pets can feel secure and loved. When pets are in my home, they are treated like family, with plenty of supervision, affection, and attention to their individual needs. My home is pet-friendly, with safety measures in place to ensure their well-being at all times. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and maintain a safe and familiar environment for your furry friend. I follow your instructions closely to keep routines consistent and ensure your pet feels comfortable in your absence. You can trust me to provide the love, care, and security your pet deserves, no matter the setting.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Arkendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 5,935 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arkendale. 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 Arkendale. 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 Arkendale.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arkendale. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
