“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I have over a year of experience caring for pets through Rover, with 5-star reviews from happy pet parents, along with more than 15 years of caring for my own pets as well as the pets of friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all personalities and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique routine and needs. I also have a year of experience caring for chickens, including daily feeding, fresh water, coop care, and general check-ins. Whether your pet needs a potty break, some playtime and attention, or simply someone to make sure they’re safe and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. As a mom with a flexible schedule, pet care is the perfect part of my weekly routine. I love having the chance to get out, enjoy some fresh air, and spend quality time with animals—it’s a rewarding way to recharge and do something just for me. Whether it’s a mid-morning dog walk or a quiet evening check-in with a cat, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel loved and cared for while their people are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with respect and follow their routine closely to keep them comfortable and happy. I provide loving attention, playtime, and ensure they get all their meals and medications on time. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away.

About: I have lived with multiple dogs my entire life and worked in an animal shelter in college. I am a trustworthy, able bodied person with a passion for animals. I am patient caretaker - so I can care from any stage of life, puppies to seniors. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have a lot of availability throughout the week. Weekdays and weekends included. It also goes for my hours of availability. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for play/outside time, and I also have a good road for walking in my secluded neighborhood.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. I stared working at a vets office and haven’t looked back. Pet care can look like many different things in my week such as, a single feeding, a walk, a check in or the full on in home service with all the feedings and all the walks. While, I would love to have every dog and cat over to my house I can’t realistically do that b/c I own a cat who does love other cats and she tolerates dogs, your dog or cat would have to be cat friendly. So most of my jobs are me coming to your home whether that is a drop in or a full time boarding situation while you’re on vacation.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colonial Heights
I felt fortunate being able to get Kevin for Milo. Walking Milo requires some effort. I live in the hills in a private but rugged setting and using a leash is not practical. The majority of the walking path is rugged and steep. Most would not like it, but Kevin does and Milo really likes him. Kevin was generous with his time on the meet and greet and made sure he understood the situation.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Colonial Heights is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 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.

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 Colonial 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 Colonial 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 Colonial Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
