“I couldn’t be happier with Melissa! She is always punctual, respectful, and sweet with my dogs. I WFH but don’t have time to walk them most weekdays so it gives me peace of mind knowing Melissa gives my dogs time to be outside! She takes the cutest pictures of them during walks—it brightens my day and reassures me that they’re happy and well cared for.”

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 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 have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, starting when I was 12 years old. I have also taken several basic dog training classes, where I learned commands such as sit, down, paw, heel, no pull, and wait. During walks, I regularly practice these commands to help dogs remember them over time and improve their behavior on the leash. What sets me apart is my patience, dedication, and attention to detail. I carefully watch the dogs throughout every walk to keep them safe, prevent them from eating things they shouldn’t, and make sure they stay away from dangerous areas near the road. I also pay attention to their behavior and comfort, making sure they feel happy and relaxed. My goal is to give every dog a safe, enjoyable walk and treat them with the same love and care I would give my own dog. Since I am currently a student, I am available for pet care on weekdays after 12:30 PM. On weekends, I work in the morning, so I am available after 8:30 PM. I do my best to manage my schedule responsibly and make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for both of us and their pets. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs their pets may have. During walks, I keep dogs on a leash, pay close attention to their surroundings, and prevent them from eating anything unsafe or approaching dangerous areas. I also make sure they have access to water and feel comfortable throughout the walk. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home, keep everything clean, and make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I will also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

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.

About: I grew up with a house full of pets including cats, dogs, and budgies. Currently I have my own cat Cloe and a turtle named Joe. I have experience caring for my elderly childhood cat who requires chemo pills, laxatives, and special food. Im currently searching for employment so my schedule is completely open. Can work weekends and weekdays at any time, preferably weekdays 10 am to 5pm. At my apartment I care for my 4 year old feline. She likes to play with her string toy and watch cat tv. Shes very food motivated so we always have treats on hand. At my parents house we have a fenced in backyard for the dog and lots of indoor space for their 4 cats. My childhood cat needs medication and special food so he is fed seperately from the other 3 cats. Every cat i've ever owend has been exclusively indoor.

About: I've been dog sitting since I was 12 years old for friends, family, neighbors, teachers, and more. I've watched the older babies, the younger pups, energized or lazy, breeds from mastiffs to shih tzu's. I worked at a no-kill SPCA shelter and interacted daily with our fur babies and gave them the most care, socialization, and love possible! <3 I will be home for winter break from university where I major in animal science and am looking to get as much fur baby cuddle time as possible! I will have plenty of time to hang out and walk your pups with my free schedule. I am available for overnights and daily visits through out the week! I have experience with trained and untrained pups. I follow instructions well if your pup has a strict routine and can administer medications if needed. I can crate dogs easily and understand behavior cues to keep myself and your pup safe and comfortable!

About: Having pets of my own has taught me how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. I currently have two dogs (our senior cat sadly passed) so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m very outdoorsy and active, so I love keeping dogs engaged with fun walks, playtime, and lots of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m house sitting or out on walks, I focus on giving pets a fun, stress-free experience while keeping owners updated and reassured. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I'm the lady you pass on a hike who smiles and says hi! to your dog first! I’m an avid walker and genuinely love being around animals, so spending time with pets is something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or relaxing companionship, I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, care, and affection. I’m available for overnight house sitting and can stay the full night to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are also very open for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry family members. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established schedule, including feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I know pets are most relaxed when they feel secure and familiar, so I focus on giving them calm attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’m very attentive on walks and outdoors, always keeping pets safely leashed and away from unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort so I can respond to each pet’s individual needs. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care. My goal is to ensure your pet wags or purrs like crazy every time I walk in that door!

“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!”

In my personal life I also own take care of Cats and would love to meet and take care of all your furry family.

We can discuss any specific scheduling needs you may have. I'm unfortunately living in an apartment and not able to care for your pets in my own home. I'm a licensed paramedic and have a 100% clean background - I'll always leave a client's home exactly as they left it.

Emily was absolutely wonderful with Juno. She was always incredibly attentive, caring, dependable, and genuinely seemed to care about her well-being. Juno passed away a few weeks ago, and looking back, I’m especially grateful knowing that when I couldn’t be there, she was in the hands of someone who treated her with so much kindness and compassion. It was obvious that Emily didn’t simply see taking care of Juno as a job, she truly cared about her. That meant more to me than I can adequately put into words, particularly as Juno got older and needed a little extra attention and patience. I would recommend Emily without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with a pet they love. I’ll always be grateful for the care, kindness, and affection she showed Juno.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Comptons Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Comptons Corner is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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.

As of November 2026, there are 14,778 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Comptons Corner. 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 Comptons Corner. 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 Comptons Corner 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 Comptons Corner. On Rover:

  • 84% 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.
