“Angela was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. They can be a handful so I appreciated her attentiveness to them. She was always punctual and an excellent communicator. I definitely plan to book her again.”
About: Hello there! I’m Kathleen, I am working from home most days and would love to spend time with your cat or dog. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and many stages of life, and health. My own dog just passed away and required a lot of extra help, which I was so happy to be able to give to him. I have a full-time job, but I’m working from home most days. Typically Thursdays are office days but I have a great deal of flexibility! That means a lot of walks and play throughout the day. Whether your baby is coming for a sleepover here or me to you, I’ll do my best to keep them happy and stress free while we are waiting for you guys to reunite. :)
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. As the owner of a senior Great Dane, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every pet with the same care, attention, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind so both you and your dog have a positive experience. I work in education and am currently on summer break through the end of August, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog walking. I'm available throughout the day on weekdays and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and any preferences or instructions you have. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your dog has a positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll or needs to burn off some energy, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need while keeping you updated along the way.
“Haoran (Selina) is an amazing dog walker! She’s reliable, and always flexible.. even with last-minute requests. I know I can count on her to take great care of my dog, and she always keeps me updated. It’s such a relief having someone so dependable.”
“Guiselle was friendly, timely and super professional! She sent multiple pics of our dog while they were on their walk and it really reassured my husband and I while we were at work! Looking forward to booking her again.”
“Shivani is great with Lorenzo, who loves spending time with Shivani. Communication between is clear. She shows up on time and always takes him on different routes where he gets to enjoy the different parts of the neighborhood.”
“Anne did a great job communicating her availability and being timely on our scheduled walks. She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well. I really appreciate her patience and professionalism to keeping us in the loop on GPS tracking and his status during the walk. Thanks Anne!”
“Ethan was so incredible with my puppy! He communicated a lot and provided tons of pictures of her. He was super timely with walks and cleaned up after her when necessary. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Lauren is an amazing dog walker! She connected with my dog immediately who is nervous around most people. Lauren is gentle and patient with my pup and always gives a detailed report of how she is doing. I really appreciate Lauren’s constant reliability and attentiveness!”
“Anja did an excellent job walking Maverick. She’s timely, communicative, and so sweet with my pup! Mav and I hope to see Anja again soon and I highly recommend her!”
“Rylee was great with my dog Poppy for a midday walk. I only booked a couple days in advance and she was super responsive and sent lots of pictures!”
“Tali had a great walk with Maggie! I appreciated that she came over to meet Tali earlier in the week before the walk and Tali loved her instantly. She was flexible with some time changes and kept me updated after the walk sharing lots of pictures. Will absolutely continue to have Maggie walk my pup!”
“Jen is terrific with our dog. He loves spending time with her and getting his exercise :-) Communication with Jen is clear and consistent, and she's always been on time. Already re-booked her time.”
“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”
About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life- ranging from gerbils to birds to dogs. I love all animals and find joy in taking care of them. I have experience with my Pomeranian and have dog sat anywhere from tiny French Bulldogs to large Pit-bulls. Each dog has their own personality and I love that about them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped with dog adoption events. I am a huge softy for cuddlers, but also understand that not all dogs like that (for example my Pomeranian, Ricky). While I do not have much experience with cats, I will play with them as much as they allow! I promise your pet could not be left in more caring hands! I am very responsible and will take great care of your furry friend!
“Erin walks my two mini poodles 4x/week and has done so for almost 5 months now. I cannot recommend her enough! Her caring nature is evident and she is very patient with my girls (who can sometimes be shy or stubborn). Erin is also a STELLAR communicator. Whenever there is even a chance she will be late for a walk, she tells me well in advance. I trust her completely and wish I could give 6 stars!”
“Diego is fantastic! He is very friendly, he was great with my dog, and he was very proactive in communicating with me. He also shared some great walk photos to make me feel good that all went well. Thanks Diego, looking forward to seeing you for future walks! 😊”

Harry was patient, reliable, and attentive, and it was clear he genuinely cared about my senior dog. He followed all of Woodstock’s care instructions, kept me updated after each visit, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Harry and will definitely book with him again.
Keira walked our dog Ducky twice a week for 5 months from March to July. She was able to take on this scheduled walk in short notice, even though it was late walks ending at 10 PM. Keira was a great walker, and Ducky really liked and got along with her! Being a 1 year old 75-pound lab mix with infinite energy, Ducky definitely was a lot to handle, but Keira was able to take on the challenge and be a great companion to Ducky! She was very detailed, noting all the bio breaks Ducky took along the way and gave us an updates after coming back. Thank you so much Keira for all your help these past few months!
Dominique is a true star sitter! From our very first interaction, his communication has been flawless, clear, and timely. Finding someone you trust with your pet can be daunting, but my dog accepted him right away and was immediately drawn to his positive energy. It is such a relief to know my pup is in such capable hands. I cannot recommend his services highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Arlington on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 16,384 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arlington. 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 Arlington. 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 Arlington.

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 Arlington. 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.
