About: I am detail oriented and love to play with pups. If a schedule is provided, I will follow it as directed. I can walk, feed, and take pets out to potty. Your pet(s) will always be under my watch. Additionally there is someone home at all times in case I do need to step out. I also offer after hours/overnight potty breaks if needed, as late as 3am and as early as 7:30am. I also speak Spanish. I am available Monday to Friday and most weekends, which mostly depend on the time. I’m very flexible and can accommodate to you & your pet’s needs. I have a fenced front yard and backyard. Pups are always monitored anytime we’re outside. Also seperated when eating to ensure everyone ears their own meal. I can crate your dog if needed.

“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”

“Juan took care of our Bruno during a week long trip with twice a day walks in our neighborhood and he was attentive to Bruno’s physical and social needs. He followed instructions well without being able to meet in person. He communicated throughout our trip and made sure we knew if anything came up out of the normal. He offered reasonable adjustments to schedule based on what he saw fitting for Bruno. I could tell that Juan cared for Bruno and Bruno was in good hands. My housemate told me that Bruno was more excited to see Juan than anyone else in the house. As long as Juan is available I will look to him to take care of Bruno when needed.”

About: I’ve loved all kinds of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua. Keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to your house and be a friendly presence and go on walks whenever! I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾

About: Your Pet Deserves to Feel at Home 🐾❤️ ⭐ Proud Rover Star Sitter I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter, and I’m truly grateful for the trust families place in me. To me, caring for a dog means more than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. It means getting to know them, respecting their personality, and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶 Real Experience & A True Love for Dogs My experience with dogs began many years ago in Colombia, where I cared for my own three dogs: an energetic Pitbull and two Cocker Spaniels with very different personalities. They taught me something I believe is very important: every dog is unique. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and play, while others need calm, patience, and extra affection. Some are social from the very beginning, while others need a little time to feel comfortable and build trust. I take the time to understand each pet and follow their family’s instructions carefully. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they are in a safe and loving home. ❤️ 🏡 A Loving Home with Plenty of Companionship I work together with my husband, Carlos, which allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship and attention during their stay. We enjoy maintaining a calm routine and following each family’s instructions so their pet can settle in comfortably. Your dog won’t simply be “another pet” during their stay — they will be part of our family while they are with us. 🐾 🚗 Convenient Door-to-Door Pickup & Drop-Off To make things easier for you, I also offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off for daycare and boarding stays, depending on my service area. I understand that between work, family, and everyday responsibilities, taking your pet to and from daycare or boarding can be difficult. I want to make the process as convenient as possible for you. 📸 Communication You Can Count On I know that leaving your pet with someone else can sometimes be stressful. That’s why I believe communication is so important. During your pet’s stay, I’m happy to send you photos, videos, and updates, so you can see how your companion is doing and have peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I carefully follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, schedules, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. ❤️ My Commitment to You My goal isn’t simply to care for your dog for a few hours or a few days. I want you to come back and find your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The trust of every family means so much to me, and I’m proud to provide care based on love, responsibility, communication, and respect for every pet’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I enjoy having a consistent routine because it helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they are away from home. I also make sure to follow each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and medication schedule according to their owner’s instructions. I’m flexible and happy to communicate with pet parents about their pet’s specific routine and needs before their stay. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and companionship. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide the best possible care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, schedules, and any special needs. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they can adjust to our home at their own pace. During walks, I always prioritize safety and use appropriate precautions to keep each dog secure and under control. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can have peace of mind. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated with the same care and respect they would receive in their own home. 🐾❤️

The dogs LOVE her and she offers some helpful tips and tricks. Overall, I don’t think we could ask for anymore in a dog walker. If you are looking for the perfect pet partner - look no further!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with everything from Yorkies to German Shepherds and Goldens. I’ve also cared for dogs on and off since I was 18, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and, unfortunately, this just isn’t the right time for our family to have a dog of our own. Rover gives me a chance to get some much-needed dog time while giving someone else’s pup a little extra love and attention—which, for me, is a pretty great trade! I really try to meet each dog where they are. If your pup wants a friend to play with, I’m happy to play. If they’re older, shy, or just happiest with some calm company and a good belly rub, I’m equally happy doing that. I pay close attention to behavior and will always communicate if I notice even a subtle change that I think you should know about. I also believe you know your dog better than anyone. I’ll respect your routines, rules, training, and preferences and care for your dog the way you’ve asked me to—not the way I think it should be done. Safety always comes first. Dogs stay securely leashed with me, I avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, keep an eye on what they’re getting into, avoid hot pavement, and double-check doors and gates. I do ask that any history of aggression be shared with me so I can keep both your dog and myself safe. I’m home during the day and have flexible availability for early-morning walks (even before 7!), daytime visits while you’re at work, and evenings. And fair warning: if you’re the kind of dog parent who loves getting pictures, you’ve found the right person. I will happily take a million. 😊 EM As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is fairly flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available for early-morning walks (including before 7 a.m.), daytime walks and drop-ins while you’re at work, and evening visits. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so getting outside for a walk or stopping in to give a pup some attention is something I look forward to—not just another task on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. In your home, I’ll always respect your routines, rules, and instructions—you know your pet best, and I believe their care should stay as familiar and consistent as possible. I’m very safety-conscious. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, and pay close attention to my surroundings and to your dog’s behavior. I’m also careful about things like hot pavement and anything they may try to pick up along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with patience and genuine kindness. Whether they want to play and burn off some energy or just need calm company, affection, and a belly rub, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual—even a small change in behavior.

About: Hi, I'm Martin! 🐾 I'm a Falls Church local and lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of dog ownership experience. I've shared my life with three dogs (a Greyhound, a Terrier mix, and a Shih Tzu) plus a cat (and I've domesticated a deer), so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. As a stay-at-home dad, I bring the same patience, reliability, and care to your pet that I give my own family. I walk my dogs at least an hour every day and know the streets, parks, and trails of Falls Church like the back of my hand; your dog will be in safe hands and great company. I'm also a certified Project Manager (PMP), which means I take schedules, communication, and accountability seriously. You'll always know where your dog is and how the visit went. Available for dog walks and home visits. A bit of French-Canadian warmth included at no extra charge! 🇨🇦 I'd love to meet your furry family member. Feel free to reach out! Pet care is genuinely woven into my daily life. As a part-time stay-at-home dad in Falls Church, I have a flexible schedule that revolves around routine and responsibility, which suits dogs perfectly. I walk my own dogs for at least an hour every day, rain or shine, so adding a few extra furry companions to my routine is a natural fit rather than an afterthought. While my child is at daycare, I have dedicated time each day to focus entirely on the pets in my care: no rushing, no cutting walks short. After 10 years of dog ownership across three very different breeds (a Greyhound, a terrier, and a Shih Tzu), I've learned to read dog behavior and adapt to each animal's needs and pace. Pet care isn't a side hustle I'm figuring out as I go, it's an extension of how I already live my day. For dog walks, I treat every dog as an individual. Some dogs want a brisk, purposeful walk; others need time to sniff and explore at their own pace. I follow the dog's lead. I know Falls Church well and plan routes that are safe, enjoyable, and appropriate for the dog's size and energy level. I always carry water for longer walks and keep dogs leashed and under close control at all times. For cat drop-in visits, I keep things calm and low-key. Cats are creatures of habit, so I stick closely to their established routine: feeding, fresh water, litter box, and a quick health check to make sure everything looks normal. If a cat wants affection and playtime I'm happy to provide it; if they'd rather keep their distance, I respect that too. Having lived with a cat myself, I know not to take it personally! I'll always send an update with a photo so you know the visit went smoothly. In a client's home, I treat the space with full respect: no disruptions to the pet's environment, doors and gates secured, and clear communication with the owner if anything seems off.

Alison walked my dog on the days I worked for over a year, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was always reliable, caring, and so accommodating with my odd hours and schedule changes. My dog is very shy and usually takes a while to trust new people, but she loved Alison from the moment they met, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry when she was with Alison because I knew she was in loving, trustworthy hands. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her and would highly recommend Alison to anyone!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bel Air

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bel Air is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 15,636 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bel Air. 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 Bel Air. 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 Bel Air 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. 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 Bel Air. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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 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.
