“Natalie was so quick to respond and communicated every detail of her arrival and care of our Zella. This was Natalie’s first time meeting Zella, and their first walk together went great even though Z can be a bit shy and hesitant to new people in her older age! We will definitely book Natalie’s services again!”

About: Animals have a way of knowing right away if someone is truly present with them. I believe in developing that trust and making a new furry friend. Whether it’s an energetic dog ready to explore or a cautious, reserved cat who needs space before asking for chin scratches, I have an affinity for connecting with pets and treating them with respect. I have experience managing schedules for both dogs and cats keeping feed times, maintaining routines, and making sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I currently work part-time, but I can adapt to your needs at a moments notice. I’m available for boarding on weekends and even weekdays if needed. My approach is based on consistent, clear communication and keeping your pet feeling completely secure, regardless of the environment. I honor your established routines, from feeding schedules and medication timing to timed habits and walk routes, predictably is key. If an unexpected situation or question ever arises, I will contact you immediately rather than guessing. Above all, I treat your home with total respect and care for your pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and safety standards I would expect for my own
About: Cat papi Trav. Good for watching after your little fluff of love while you’re out enjoying yourself. Avid pet lover, but have a soft spot for cats Work from home so I have time to sneak in belly rubs and ear scratches throughout the day. If your cat/dog isn’t the most social we car look at each other from the across the room. I have a 2 bed room condo. Enough space for all to enjoy themselves. A nice park for the walks, and nice windows for the cats to peer into the outside world.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. During the summer it was all I did. I’m currently unemployed so I want to have as much fun as I can with pets before I go back to school and work. Well I don’t care for pets in my home but eventually when I have my own space I would absolutely adore sharing my space with everyone’s pets.
About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.
“Tandy was super professional and kind. I lived a little out of the ways but she was happy to come by and take care of our dog. I scheduled her for a walk and she still came and walked her in the RAIN and got soaking wet. Even got my dog a towel and dried her off. Definitely will be booking her again. True heart of gold and very helpful.”
“Lilla was fantastic!! Often going above and beyond to make sure our puppy had an amazing experience with her. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and/or video to let us know our puppy was doing well. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to walk Molly!”
“Bria has provided such amazing service. She has done things like wipe our pet’s feet after a walk and bring in packages (which, I’m today’s porch pirate environment is a real help when I’m out of town). She is my go to for Magnus.”
About: I just started doing rover because I love animals and I also work from home so I have plenty of time to spoil your baby! I have a boxer of my own that gets along with other animals and is very energetic so we go outside around our complex all the time. I respond very fast and send pictures throughout the day! Even though I live in an apartment, there’s over a thousand sq ft for them to run around in when they’re inside. I will walk your dog for as long as you need me to and do drop in visits as well. Since I do have a pup of my own you can be assured I will give yours all the love, snuggles, and care they need! Plus I work with each individual dog according to their own needs! Just shoot me a message and we can discuss further. Im currently doing hybrid for work so I’m home most days during the week so your fur baby will get plenty of attention & outside time! I never let dogs off the leash when they’re with me & I always maintain control on walks. Always do separate feedings & I pay attention to your pet’s body language to make sure they’re always comfortable in my care. I work from home full time so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your loved fur baby & work around your schedule as well! We can do a meet & greet before hand so your pet feels more comfortable with me. Whenever I do drop ins I always make sure that your fur baby is comfortable with my presence & I watch the door as I leave so they can’t escape.
About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet caregiver who prioritizes safety, routine, and comfort. I’m experienced in reading dog body language, recognizing stress signals, and providing calm, structured care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. Morning walk or potty break Uses your habit of showing up on time and following routines • Feed & refresh water Same focus you already use with schedules and procedures • Quick behavior check Noticing stress signs (ears back, whale eye, pacing) I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

Bio: Niecy Davila, a native Washingtonian, has always loved working with animals. Niecy studied at Howard University and attained a Bachelors of Science in Health Care Administration. She worked her way through college working as an animal caretaker, and learning how to keep shelter animals happy and healthy. After receiving her degree, she continued working with animals as an Assistant Kennel Manager, and an Animal Control Officer. She has a combined 8 years experience in animal welfare, pet sitting, and dog training.
“Javien has been great. My Evie was shy at first but he got her to warm up to him quickly, because he just has that personality. He has been accommodating when plans have changed and Evie and I hope to keep using him for future walks. I'm glad I found him when I did because he's popular!”
About: I've been a pet owner for over ten years for both dogs and cats. I used to work at a Montessori school for dogs, as a behavioral specialist at an animal shelter, and as a Attendant at a doggy daycare, so I have taken courses from both the Victoria Stilwell Academy and the Karen Pryor Academy and have some experience with animal training. I am familiar with many temperaments and how to properly approach a new friend. While I am still working towards certification, I’d be happy to positively reinforce good habits as well as teach your animal a fun trick or two (this extends to cats as well)! I work full-time and my schedule is decided on a weekly basis, so my availability isn’t something set in stone. I am transitioning to a new job though, so I will soon be generally available on weekends and evenings. At your home, I'm comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I can keep up with dogs who want to play all day, or I can chill and provide cuddles to the softer, gentler pups. Some pets are content watching from a distance, and I can do that as well. At my dog school job, we had a detailed system of categorizing different "play styles", and at my shelter job, I often taught interested adopters how to properly introduce themselves to a possible new family member. I hope to incorporate that into my work with your beloved pet so we can better understand one another.

I had a very last minute booking and Tamela and her daughter made time to walk Asher for me. She was very communicative and kind and I know Asher had a great walk from how calm he was when I returned from work. I would definitely recommend for dog walking services.
Clarice did a wonderful job with Roscoe. He connected with her easily on the meet and greet, where she asked and learned about his quirks and personality. She accepted a somewhat last-minute request, and she treated him well! Highly recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Capitol Heights is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 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 Capitol Heights. 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 Capitol Heights 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 Capitol Heights. 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.
