About: I've had dogs in the home for as long as I've been alive, and in those years have raised a number of dogs from barely weaned puppies into loved and cared for seniors. Multiple dogs at a time doesn't intimidate me, and if walking them separately is a necessity for their behavior I don't mind accommodating the need to go out with each dog individually. I love going on long walks, so if your dog is one that needs more than 1 or 2 twenty minute walks a day I can accommodate that easily. Raising puppies means I know the importance of close, prolonged supervision that dogs need, and can provide it. Administering pills is also something I've gotten used to over the years, even without the use of foods to hide them. Similarly, I have experience with ear drops and putting on booties for outdoor winter activities. If routine is important to your dog than it is important to me! Accommodating things such as specific feeding, walk, or play time is something I would love to deliver. As of October of 2026 I am working part time, and can accommodate weekdays as well as weekends, with flexible timing for when I am expected to show up and depart. As long as it's discussed some days in advance, and I've no other clients, I'm confident I can make it work. I will follow owner routine for if their animals can have backyard time (such as with dogs), catio time for cats, as well as out of cage time for birds, rats, or ferrets. I am experienced in crating dogs overnight, getting birds back into their cages, and keeping cats from slipping in or out of rooms they don't belong in. Whatever specific instructions the owner would like to give me I can accommodate, including more strict supervision.

“Maura is fantastic!!!! Maura takes great care of our boy and provides regular updates throughout the day. It's such a relief to know he is in such good hands. Maura walks him 5 days a week and I have found her to be pleasant and caring. In light of this, I have already planned for Maura to take care of him during our next trip away. :)”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. Growing up my family had a Dachshund — my first lesson in just how much personality a small dog can pack — and later a German Shepherd, who taught me that larger dogs need confidence, consistency, and genuine respect. I also spent years walking a neighbor's Irish Setter, which gave me an early appreciation for athletic, high-energy breeds that need real exercise and engagement, not just a quick lap around the block. Most recently I had a rescue dog I adopted when he was older and already managing some minor health issues. He later developed a heart condition that required daily medication — which I administered myself throughout his illness. Caring for him through that journey gave me hands-on experience with senior dog care, medical management, and the kind of patience and attentiveness that serious health conditions demand. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs for neighbors and friends — from drop-in visits to boarding them in my own home. My regulars have included a Westie who, despite the breed's famously stubborn reputation, spends most of his time demanding belly rubs and reminding me that Westies are really just cuddly dogs in a tough-dog costume. I have also cared for a Pit/Boxer mix who turned out to be one of the most docile, cuddly dogs I have ever had the pleasure of caring for — a reminder that reputation and reality are often two very different things. I judge dogs on who they are, not what breed they are. I also manage a regular medication routine for the Westie in my care. If your dog has a medication schedule, it will not be skipped, forgotten, or treated as an inconvenience. I am fully dedicated to pet care right now — home throughout the day, taking a limited number of dogs at a time so every guest gets real attention. Whether your dog needs a calm quiet environment, daily medication, or just someone who will truly enjoy their company all day — I am that person. I am home all day every day and fully available for pet care morning through evening. No day job, no busy schedule pulling me away. I follow each dog's individual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. Pet care is my full-time focus and I treat it that way. My home is calm, comfortable, and set up with your dog's happiness in mind. Every dog in my care gets out daily — just nearby is a beautiful park with a lake that makes for a perfect morning walk, along with plenty of neighborhood routes for dogs who love to explore and sniff every corner. Inside, dogs have comfortable resting areas and a relaxed, welcoming environment to settle right into. Your dog will never be cooped up or bored.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. I also have a long time favorite customer that i continually go back to for visits. I go to Nova Community College full time and work part time as an RBT (registered behavior technician) with autistic children. I own 3 dogs of my own at the current moment, so taking care of them is part of my daily routine. Anything I can do. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and i let my dogs walk freely. I’m open to any accommodations needed for dogs +cats.

About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’m a former elementary educator, a mom (both human & fur ☺️), and have my Veterinary Assisting certification from Animal Behavior College. I have breed specific knowledge, and understand that what works for one dog, can look very different for others (walking styles, leash performance, etc.). After every visit, you will receive a detailed note, and pics from that day. I love when owners share what works or does not work for their pups while walking, I.e. meeting new people, and encountering other animals. On a typical walk, I’ll bring a clean travel water dispenser and offer healthy treats for rewards (if approved by owner). I would love to work with you, and help your pets get the proper exercise & care that they need for their healthy physical and mental wellbeing. I am a former educator that is available from 10 am until 3 pm for walking, play groups, and in-home enrichment. If your pup is up to the challenge & would enjoy a hike, I’m also available for longer periods. Available rain or shine! We have a wonder pup named, Luna. She is an active 6 year old Doodle/Bernese mix that loves people, visits with friends, and tummy rubs. Luna has Epilepsy, so I administer daily meds, as well as recovery meds when needed. I credit my expertise from decades of having pets, obtaining my Veterinary Assisting Certification, and being a former volunteer with the SPCA of NOVA. I am comfortable walking, visiting and playing with all breeds, and personalities. As cliche as it sounds, your pet will be like my own when we are working together.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs since I was 17! Since I was eight, I have had a dog in my family. Each dog is unique and different and I enjoy getting to know them. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing with them, and cuddling! My weekends are always free! I do work full-time but I have a flexible schedule since I can work from home. During the weekday, early mornings and evenings are typically free for all your pet care needs. I love house sitting versus boarding because I care about your pets experience! My dogs don’t like being boarded because it’s a strange and new place to them. So with that in mind, house sitting is my go to so that your dog feel safe and comfortable even with a stranger. I’ll make sure to always give them their space when needed but will also provide cuddles.

About: In addition to being an approved foster home for Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and one very cute hamster throughout my 48 years. After both of my senior rescue pups passed away from old age during Covid, I've really missed having a furry companion running around. I'm not quite ready to have my own pet full-time again but enjoy caring for others' furry friends between foster pups. Open to full day, evenings, or weekends. Seniors have a special place in my heart and are always welcome. I am very experienced with those that have special needs or medicines. I do ask that all pets are kid friendly as I have a 10 year old "trainer" that comes with me and really enjoys reading to the pups at bedtime. Though my son will keep his distance from dogs that are skittish, we want a safe and calm place for both the pet and child to stay when they're in our home. For stays in our home, especially those last minute needs, we have beds, crates, bowls, toys, and even various types of emergency food just in case. We're who you need in a pinch or if your flight is delayed on the way home. Boarding in our home always comes with multiple walks a day and often a fun adventure and patio time! Working from home makes flexible pick up and drop off scheduling a breeze for pups staying with me! I look forward to making your pet part of our family while you're away. Be sure to let me know if they'd enjoy the park and long walks or prefer a more laid back stay with extra cuddles or space to decompress and we'll adjust. We sit for many families in our neighborhood and several prior dogs have walked with us to and from school (Hi Georgie!)... while others have napped most of the day away. (Hi Duke, Lana, and Mimi, I'm looking at you!) Need me to pick up to make it easier to head out of town? Or deliver once you're home? I gotcha! I have a small fenced in yard and lots of open green space out back to keep your pup busy! Does your pet prefer a walk around the neighborhood? We'll show them around around and where the best town "gossip" is located. Our "fur-iends" who visit love to check their "pee-mails" and we know all the great spots. Have a well behaved pooch? Your pet will always have free range of my home, if they're most comfortable contained near their humans I can close off doors and block off stairs! We even have extra floor coverings for those a little older that appreciate extra traction when walking. Does the pup like crates better at night, just let me know and I'll follow your routine! We have a couple med/lg sized ones here I keep on hand, in case they're needed. I usually keep the doors off so they can use it as a safe place whenever they'd like unless mom or dad prefers otherwise! Safety is incredibly important to us so all animals will stay leashed outside and I have a 2 pet limit set on Rover so things stay calm and we have plenty of scratchies & snuggle time with the dogs who like to hang out with humans. Have a senior pup who wants to hide somewhere quiet? There's plenty of great hiding spots and we'll tote a bed over to their new favorite spot to keep them comfy.

“Seth is absolutely wonderful with dogs! My energetic puppy Elsa gets so excited when she sees him coming and actually whines when he leaves - which tells you everything you need to know about how much she loves him. As someone who admittedly worries about my dog constantly, finding someone I trust completely has been invaluable. Seth is the only person I feel completely comfortable leaving Elsa with, and that peace of mind is priceless. What really sets Seth apart is his natural ability to connect with dogs. He truly speaks their language and understands what they need. Whether it’s playtime, comfort, or just the right amount of attention, he instinctively knows how to make dogs feel happy and secure. I highly recommend Seth to any dog parent looking for reliable, caring pet care. Your furry family member will be in excellent hands!”

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life, being born into a dog and cats household. My passion for pets has led me to working in places that are centered around animals, and my professional experience has given me a great foundation in pet health, nutrition, training and behavior. Animals are my calling in life, and hanging out with them for a living is not a job for me but a dream! P.S. Prices negotiable, open to discuss and find solutions! I am a college student with an wide availability schedule. While I have a party time job and some classes, I am always open to working together and figuring out a schedule that works. I do prefer evenings/weekends, but I am flexible most of the time. I will follow all pet parent instructions clearly and explicitly, no matter how much effort it might take. I care about animals deeply and will sacrifice my own time to deliver proper care. With my wide expertise in pet care, I am also open to working with special needs pets. Happy to answer any questions and concerns you may have.

About: I’m a freshman in college and have been loving spending time with pets! I have taken care of dogs and cats for over six years now, and honestly, I just love it. I am a great communicator and will make sure you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I always aim to make sure you feel at peace being away from your fur babies knowing that I will love on them just as much while they are gone. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and various ages so i happy to administer any medication if needed. I love taking dogs for walks, or just sitting at home and playing with or petting them. I also love cats, and while I don’t currently have one of mine own, I so enjoy getting cat and dog sit! I enjoy getting exercise, so dog walking is always fun for me. Pets just make me happy, so getting to pet sit is always enjoyable and brightens my day. I want my employers to know that their pets will be safe and happy while they are away as I take care of them. And if there are any needs while they are gone, they will be able to reach me. with any special requests, like taking medication or anything like that, I am very good at following specific instruction. I am always available. If you need to reach me, you can always call or text me. I am able to just spend time with your pet if that is what you need, or take them on lots of walks! Whatever is needed I am pretty much able to provide.

One of the best dog walkers in NOVA! She was incredibly sweet, patient, and understanding with my anxious dog. She took the time to make her feel comfortable and offered wonderful advice and helpful tips as we navigated the transition into a new household. It was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I couldn't recommend her enough!

We absolutely LOVE Hannah! She showed up every single day last week at 1 p.m. and was always right on time. Our puppy absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. She’s such a delight and makes sure he gets plenty of walking, playtime, and love. Her visits are the highlight of his day while we’re working, and knowing he’s happy and in such good hands gives us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond when our puppy got into something and cleaned up the mess for us. That extra care means so much! Hannah is dependable, thoughtful, and just wonderful with our puppy. We’d happily have her care for him any time, day or night, and recommend her to absolutely everyone. Truly 10/10—we’re so grateful she’s our dog walker!

Amie texted me when she was on her way and showed up early to walk our 2 pups for the first time. They barked at her from the window but calmed down as soon as Amie came inside. Based on the pics, both pups looked happy and came back worn out (Amie was kind enough to walk them longer than expected)! Amie’s personality is very warm and welcoming. I very much appreciate her thoroughness (asking clarifying questions) and transparency (keeping me abreast of status). I look forward to having Amie take care of our 2 babies going forward 😊

FAQs for Dog Walking - Burke

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Burke is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 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 15,061 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Burke. 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 Burke. 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 Burke 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 Burke. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs

  • 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.
