About: Hi, My name is Annie. My love for dogs started at a very young age. Our home always had around 16 Beagle's and a German Shepherd. At this time I’m only able to host small and medium size pets. I have fenced in backyard for your fur baby to openly play. I enjoy the outdoors and spend a great deal of time outside.. I would love the honor to show you that I am well trusted with your fur baby. I believe the happiness, health and comfort of your baby is the most important thing. I’m available for your fur love anytime of the week and weekends at all times. Open for special accommodations per agreement with owner as requested individually. I have a fenced in yard. There’s a walking trial near by for your fur love to enjoy. Everything is safe proof in the home.

About: I have been a animal lover my whole life. When I had to personally hire a pet sitter, I was very particular who I allowed to come into my home and take care of my babies. I was blessed to have found a wonderful sitter. In fact that’s how I became a paid sitter. She hired me to take care of her clients and personal animals when she went on vacation. With over 20 years of experience, I can provide references as well as the posted reviews. Our pets are more than just animals, they are family. I will give your companions the attention they need as well any special request. From dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and farm animals, I have the expertise you need. We all want our pets to be safe, comfortable and cared for while we are away. I'm here to assure you that I will treat your loved ones as one of my own and look forward to meeting your entire pack! I currently pet sit and book accordingly. My attention to detail allows me to care for 4 households a day. My daily routine includes greeting and walking the client and feedings as well. Some need special attention, so my time is dedicated to that. Making time to care and treat these clients as family is what I do. From walks to belly rubs, these clients have my full attention. When you’re at work and you need me to come by and let "Fido" out for a walk,I'll greet him\her with a smile. Each pet is different. Giving them their own special attention is important. I can leave you a note, text or contact of your desire on that day's adventure. Before leaving your residence, I will make sure your loved one has adequate provisions until you arrive home. I'll also sweep your pets area and make sure your home is secure. If you have any special request, then let me know. Overnight care is also provided. You can rest assure that your pet and home are my upmost concern, while you are away.

About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic care, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care is naturally set into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play time, and check-ins to ensure every pet gets consistent care. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to exercise, enrichment, and cuddles, while afternoons include potty breaks, supervision, and rest time. My schedule is flexible and intentionally designed so I can give every animal the attention, and time they deserve. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, supervised, and comforting environment set to their needs. I maintain clean spaces, provide cozy rest areas, and offer play time. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine uninterrupted. I handle feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and any specific instructions exactly as provided. I also respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on communication, safety, and reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel calm, comfortable, and understood.

About: Hi, I’m Lona! 🐾 I’m an animal lover currently in a veterinary assistant program with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ll treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 💕 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting, I’m available and committed to meeting your pet’s needs. I love staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine — it helps keep me moving and gives me a chance to bond with your pet. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9-to-5 schedule, I can easily adapt to last-minute requests, extended stays, or custom routines that work best for you and your furry friend. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in the client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and preferences, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule and make them feel secure and loved.

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care—feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs—some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I offer pet care during the times I’m not with my son, which means when I’m booked, your pet has my full attention. I plan my availability carefully and only accept visits I know I can show up for consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and mindful of each pet’s environment, routines, and signals. I take care to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home with respect, communicate clearly, and approach each visit with patience and care so your pet feels safe and at ease.

About: Hi, I'm Andrew! I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life! I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 16 years both Varsity Highschool as well as Travel ball and in 2019 moved up here to North Carolina for my dads retirement and to be close to his side of the family. I recently worked at PetSmart for about a year and took care of many exotic pets on the daily! Whatever your needs are, pets are a breeze for me and you are more than welcome to message me your requests and we will work something out. Thank you and may God guide your spirit in Jesus name, amen!!! I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time!!! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore with all my soul lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves, I’m all for it!

About: I was gifted a dog when I was younger that I grew up caring for up until she was older. Caring for her included washing, taking her to the groomers, and ensuring she had the best food and many toys to play with. At the end of the day, she was my dog and my responsibility to care for. I have always hung around pets due to my grandparents having dogs and my aunt & uncles owning cats & dogs. My friend has a cat that I will sometimes cat-sit when she is out of town. I currently am a student and have a mixture of online and in-person classes. So, when I am not at school I am studying, and I'm at home. I currently do not have any other job commitments at the moment. Caring for pets is essential for their well-being. I always ensure that my space brings a piece of comfort, safety, and playfulness. I will ensure they have plenty of potty breaks and walks to ensure no accidents and give them time to get their energy out before the night is over. If medication is needed, it is my essential duty to be on top of giving your pet the correct dose & at the correct time.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Blacksburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Blacksburg is $33 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $42 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 November 2026, there are 1,711 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Blacksburg. 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 Blacksburg. 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 Blacksburg 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 Blacksburg. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
