“Lucia has been walking my puppy and my senior dog almost every day for the past month or so and has been great. She is very communicative, providing photos and updates after every walk. She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”

About: I just love animals! I have worked for an animal advocacy organization and received ongoing education about the care of companion animals. I volunteered at Fairfax County Animal Shelter walking and showing dogs, and fostering dogs, cats, kittens, guinea pigs, rabbits and more. I know how to meet a pet where they need me to be, whether it's lots of snuggles or lots of personal space. I grew up in a house full of animals and I look forward to meeting you and your precious pet. I'm only in the office 2 days a week so I have good flexibility to take care of your treasured pet and look forward to meeting you both! I have a fenced in patio area for lounging outdoors and great walking paths with lots of things to sniff. I love playing fetch and teaching new tricks if you're up for it!

About: Hi! I’m Veronica. I split my time between Los Angeles and the Washington, DC area, and whenever I’m in town, I love spending time with animals. I’m a proud pet mom of both dogs and a cat, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🦴 ABOUT ME I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I am comfortable with: • Walks and exercise • Feeding schedules • Basic medications • Puppies and senior pets • Multi-pet households • Plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. 🏡 STAYS & VISITS I work primarily from home and am rarely away for more than a few hours at a time. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. For boarding stays, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease in a new environment. 📸 UPDATES I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and messages throughout each stay or visit. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I love sharing their adventures, naps, playtime, and cute moments with you. ❤️ WHY I PET SIT As someone who travels frequently between DC and LA, I miss my own pets when I’m away from them. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful animals while helping fellow pet owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. 🐾 MY PROMISE My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! ❤️ I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide reliable pet care. When I have clients for my business, I’m normally not gone for more than four hours a day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions while providing plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”

About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.

About: I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and clients alike since I was 15. All of my life I grew up around big dogs and would consider myself a dog person so no size or breed scares me- I am happy to give your pets the attention and love they deserve! I now live with my two cats whom I love dearly and are trying their hardest to turn me into a cat person. I am happy to walk and play with pets as often as requested and I am comfortable giving any sort of medication. I am currently a student at Northern Virginia Community College, but I am part time this summer so I have plenty of time to take good care of your pet(s)! I offer fees on a sliding scale based on income- contact me about my rates and I’m happy to adjust. I am a very attentive caregiver and will give your pets lots of attention while I’m on the clock. I am also happy to sit around and just keep them company if your pets are slow going like mine are.

Brogan was fantastic! We hired her to walk our dogs, Aiko and Luna, once a day while we were away on our honeymoon, to help my mom who was watching Aiko for us. She made the whole experience completely stress free. Communication was excellent. Anytime we reached out, she responded quickly, and she kept us updated without us having to ask. She was also proactive about planning around days with rain in the forecast, which we really appreciated. She was punctual every single time. Most importantly, both dogs loved her. As their walk time got closer, they would actually wait by the door for her to arrive. That tells you everything you need to know. I would 100% recommend Brogan and would absolutely book her again in the future. Book with Brogan with complete confidence!

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 Baileys Crossroads. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Baileys Crossroads after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.

  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
