About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
“Ivy loves her walks with Kate and she is a very selective dog. She gets so excited when she's sees her come up the driveway. Kate has a natural way with animals that makes them immediately comfortable. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of various types of dogs (and many other species of animals) and have administered medications. I am a conscientious pet provider, keeping in mind the differences in personality of each pet and the approach required to earn their trust. I am always on time, and take extra steps to ensure your pet is very well cared for, and that your pet and home are secured properly when I leave. I've been around animals all my life and am an active member of the neighborhood cat coalition to assist with trap, neuter, and release (TNR) the local cat population. My patient style when approaching an animal has helped safely trap and neuter several cats in our neighborhood. Additionally, my children grew up raising animals with the 4H community - cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, so I've been involved in all aspects of animals' care and safety. I am seeking a career change and my love of animals led me to explore pet sitting and boarding. I am trustworthy and reliable, and understand the need for quality pet care. I have a fully fenced back yard that is fantastic for dogs. I have a cat who is my pet service ambassador! A truly cool cat who gets along with all animals.
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

About: What sets me apart is my balance of responsibility and genuine care. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I help reinforce basic commands and leash manners using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior dogs, I’m gentle, attentive, and mindful of slower walks, mobility needs, and medication reminders. I’m reliable, punctual, and respectful of your home. Most importantly, I truly enjoy being around animals, and I focus on building trust so your pet feels happy and secure every time we’re together. I study in AU but after classes im totally free. I consider walking dogs a hobby given that I also do exercise. I find it entretaining seeing different dogs and their energy. Personally, I try to treat them as gently as possible, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as I can, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language to understand their needs, whether that means giving them extra affection, space, or stimulation. I also make sure their environment stays clean, secure, and calm, and I always prioritize their health and well-being by monitoring eating habits, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort. Overall, I care for pets with patience, respect, and responsibility, treating them as if they were my own.
“Morgan has been great with our dog, Clover! She has been very attentive and very communicative with us to make sure Clover’s needs are met and that she gets the best care and experience possible. We highly recommend Morgan.”
“Chiara was great with my puppy. She responded to a somewhat last minute request and came for a meet and greet, which went quite well. She showed up on time for all of our appointments, and the puppy seemed very satisfied when I saw her next! Would definitely hire her again.”
“Oyindamola was so sweet and caring to my Cali! She sent me so many videos and kept me updated on all the activities they did! Really happy with her and would 100% book her again! Thank you for the love and dedication ❤️”
“This was our first time leaving our dog alone and had to rely that Chris would come early in the morning and in the evening for five days - and he did with out fail. He was loving towards our dog and made sure he ate well, his eyes were cleaned and he got a nice walk and play.”
About: I grew up in a household with rabbits, cats, and dogs. I let them sense my energy and know that I'm a safe person. I will also do pet portraits for an extra fee if interested. I'm taking a few months off work so my schedule is wide open. I'm also earning an MSW but class is remote so even on days when I have school pet sitting isn't a problem, I live alone in a one bedroom apartment so have privacy and a fair amount of space. When coming to a client's home I will respect the instructions I was given.
“Katie did a great job walking our dog. She was punctual. Communication was terrific. Most importantly , our dog was comfortable with her and had a really good walk. I would use her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life, starting with my cats, Tux and Muffin, and then my dog, Inky. Because of the seasonal nature of my work, I haven’t been able to have pets of my own, but I regularly stay in practice by caring for my brother’s, uncle’s, and friends’ dogs when they’re at work or out of town. I’ll treat your dog with the same respect and affection I give my own family’s dogs. I’m in DC to be family, which leaves me plenty of time to walk or sit for your dog. I’m free during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends, and I’m happy to set my schedule around your pet’s needs. I treat every dog with the love, care, and respect they deserve. My brother is moving out and taking his dog, Auggie, with him, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for other pets in his place
“Jill is great. She’s on time and checks in with us to let us know how our puppy is doing. She spends quality time walking and playing with our very energetic puppy. We never really have to worry about Skittles and how he’s doing when Jill is taking care of him.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cabin John
Lindsay is absolutely great! This was my first time using Rover, and she had been incredibly patient and helpful throughout everything. She took the time to explain everything clearly and kept me updated with great communication. You can genuinely tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely recommend Lindsay and would happily book with her again!
Katie was fantastic with my anxious and timid rescue dog! She came over for a meet and greet, and she was very calm and respected my dog’s space. She was quick to respond to my request, and followed my instructions perfectly. I will definitely ask Katie to walk my dog in the future. I highly recommend her!
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is a mature, responsible caregiver who clearly takes her role seriously. From the start, I have felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. Communication was thoughtful and reliable, and it was obvious that she pays close attention to each dog’s needs.Sonja is experienced, dependable, and genuinely caring.

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 Cabin John. 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 Cabin John after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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.
