About: I have been a vet tech and animal educator in the past. I’m very flexible with scheduling, and understand last minute things come up. I am happy to work with whatever pet needs you have! For locals I can pop in as often as needed, I’m happy to be flexible with your needs. My availability right now is wide open. I am comfortable with pets that need medical care, pets that are less comfortable with people/strangers/ other animals, and the less common pets. I believe in full transparency, and will provide your pets with the care you would give them yourself.
“Sarahi was incredible with my dog Eisley. My dog was immediately comfortable with her and was excited for walk time everyday. Would absolutely book her again and the only reason she is not helping any longer is because I am moving.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for almost 6 years professionally and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I worked in a boarding facility making sure every dog and cat received the proper food and medication. I can check in on pets any day of the week at anytime needed. For pets that have hourly or specific times needed for care, I can be there to help them out! I always want to put pet comfort first. I respect the pet's space and I can recognize body language to know when to back off and keep them comfortable.
About: Hi! I’m Alley, I grew up around dogs my entire life and don’t have my own yet so this is the next best thing! My roommate and I would constantly Rover in college and absolutely loved the opportunity to take care of your beloved animals! I work from home! So with that I have a lot of flexibility and am more than happy to help out wherever and whenever I can! I don’t have any other pets at the moment, and there is a doggy park in my complex that your babies can use in addition to their walks!
“Maddy was once again wonderful. Always communicating with me well and going above and beyond to help when my pups when she was sick! Will definitely book again in future :)”
About: I currently work at Deepwood Veterinary Clinic! I work with the animals that are boarding. I’ve been handling animals for about 6 months now. I’ve been taking care of all types of pets working at the clinic like dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, even pigs! I adore animals so much! From small to big, I love them all. I do have my own dog her name is Luna and i’ve been her main caregiver since she was 6 months old! Shes now 5!! I hope you'll give me the opportunity to care for your animals! :) I’m currently working part time and i’m wanting to make a little bit of extra money! I also want more experience with handling animals since i’m planning on going to school to become a veterinary technician. I will take very good care of your animals! They will get all the food, water, and play time! I’m sure they’ll have a blast with me. :)
About: I have worked at an emergency animal clinic for 4 years. In my job, I have taken care of animals recovering from surgeries as well as dogs boarding overnight. I have experience with all types of dogs. I am able to work with old or sick animals as well as newborns. I have also dog sat for dogs in my neighborhood the past 4 years for several different families. I have had dogs in the past including a pit bull and a German shepherd, both of which were very loving dogs. I am comfortable taking care of other animals such as cats or birds. I am also able to administer medications if necessary. I love dogs and cannot wait to meet yours! As of recently I have moved back to the McLean/Northern Virginia area. I just graduated from Virginia Tech and will be completing a Masters in Information Technology this upcoming semester online so I am very flexible. I am more than happy to provide references or anything else you need to feel comfortable. I work from home and have plenty of time and space to care for your pet! My flexible work schedule allows me to give my full attention to your pets needs and schedule. I have a friendly dog that loves to play and keep your furry friend happy! We live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks and space to walk.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life! I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and love making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I’ll treat your dog like my own and give them plenty of care, attention, and affection! I’m currently a full time therapist working hybrid, so I am able to fit time with pups in around my schedule with my clients! I have a fenced in yard and a corgi named Pudge, who would love to join your pup on a walk for some extra play!
“Anastasia was wonderful! We did an initial meet and greet and from the very beginning, she was great with communication. She was always timely for picking up our our, Barkley, and I think our dog really started looking forward to her coming! Thanks for everything!”
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My own 14-year-old dog has taught me that every walk doesn't have to be fast to be meaningful, and I'm happy to match each pet's pace and individual needs. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own dog daily, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I'm committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a gentle, friendly 14-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals. While I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time through regular leashed walks. I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and I'll do my best to keep them on the routine they're used to at home.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with dogs and 1 year of experience caring for cats. Animals have been a central part of my life, and I truly enjoy building trust with each pet I care for. For the past 3 years, I’ve also been an active foster with Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, caring for dogs in need of temporary homes, and I’ve recently begun fostering cats as well. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with animals of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’ve cared for puppies through senior dogs (up to 15 years old), including pets recovering from illness, surgery, and ongoing medical conditions. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and providing calm, attentive support to pets who need a little extra care and patience. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a gentler routine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I treat every animal like they’re my own and prioritize communication so you always feel confident while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent and natural part of my weekly routine. I currently foster dogs through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and also care for foster cats, so my days already revolve around feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, training reinforcement, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I’m used to structuring my day around animal needs, including early mornings and flexible check-ins throughout the day. Because I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and animals recovering from illness or surgery—I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to provide reliable, attentive care when needed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space that is clean, supervised, and free of hazards, with routines that help animals feel secure and comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and aim to minimize disruption. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medication needs, training guidelines, and any behavioral notes. I also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured and that pets are always supervised during care. Because of my experience fostering through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, I’m very comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including anxious animals, seniors, and pets recovering from medical issues. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care so pets feel safe and owners feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for nearly my entire life. As I grew up, I learned the ins and outs of taking care of pets at every stage of their lives and have loved every second of it. From training puppies and kittens to providing care in their most vulnerable moments, I learned what it takes to be a pet’s best friend. I hope to become just as wonderful a friend to your furry family as my own pets have been to me. I’m currently working a part-time job with a relatively flexible schedule, and I’m more than happy to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pups! My weekly schedule varies, which allows me to coordinate my availability around your pet care needs whenever possible. When I bake, cook, or build, I make sure to follow instructions to the letter. I take that same approach to pet sitting, carefully following any guidance you provide so that your pet receives the care they're accustomed to. Above all, it’s my mission to be the guard dog, maintaining a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for your furry family member while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. Whether it’s keeping up with favorite walks and familiar routines or providing extra cuddles and special care, I’ll ensure the only thing your pet notices while you’re away is a new best friend!
About: I've been in the professional pet care field for about 4 years. I've been a private pet sitter and I also worked at a board and train kennel facility for 2 years. I have experience with reactive dogs and aggressive dogs if you need someone with that expertise. I am currently a student at GMU but I'm looking to pick up gigs when I can! I'm a full time student right now. My weekends are open for anytime during the day, my weekdays are a bit more limited but I am flexible! I am there for what ever your pets need! I'll play with them, take them on walks, let them nap on me, and feed them. I will also help with training when asked.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bull Run
We had a wonderful meet-and-greet and neighborhood walk today, and this walker is absolutely lovely! They naturally they handled commands with my high energy pup. If you need someone who is both highly capable and genuinely caring to look after your pup, I cannot recommend them enough!
She was so kind and such a joy to meet! We feel really good about trusting her with our dog and home! Right away she connected with our doberman and you can tell she has a lot of knowledge and experience! We are looking forward to working with her for walks and out of town stays!
This was our second booking with Kasey. She was easy to work with and great with our 3 dogs. She was quick to recognize their preferences and skilled at meeting individual needs. Our dogs clearly enjoyed their time with her and they napped/slept well after her visits.
This was my first time having Hayleigh walk my dog, and it was a great experience. My dog liked her right away, which is always a good sign. She was kind, responsive, and very responsible. I’m really glad I found her and will definitely use her again when I’m traveling for work. Thanks, Hayleigh ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Bull Run is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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.

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 Bull Run. 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 Bull Run 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 Bull Run. 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.
