About: I have been around animals of all kinds and sizes my whole life. I have been raised to love and care for pets. I am attentive to their needs and love dedicating time—including play time—toward them. I have provided pet sotting services both in my home and in other homes, have administrated medications for my clients, and have performed nail trimmings and baths to keep pets looking their best. I am also good with walking dogs and teaching them tricks. I have taken care of senior pets. I am patient, kind, and respectful of all breeds. As someone who works from home, I am usually always with my pets! I wake up around 8am and serve breakfast. Lunch is at 1pm and dinner at 6pm with a treat and plenty of potty breaks in between. In my home, I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys for fun. I also have four dogs and four cats, all vaccinated, to keep your pets company. In your home, I am comfortable doing whatever you need me to.

About: Hi! I'm Lillie - your pets' new favorite person! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages - from wild-child puppies who need lots of patience and training, to sweet seniors who need meds, mobility help, and extra snuggles, and everything in between. I'm super detail-oriented about routines, I treat your home with total respect, and I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to worry while you're away. Whether it's drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I stick to your instructions exactly - feeding, potty schedule, playtime, and all the love they can handle. Your pets will be my #1 priority and I'll be your main sitter and communicator. My partner Justice is occasionally available to help with a walk or check-in if needed (like if I'm already booked nearby), but I'll always clear it with you first. I'd love to meet you and your fur babies! I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to dedicate quality time to pets. I currently have experience caring for my own dog and other family pets, so I’m used to regular feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. Depending on your needs, I can provide daily visits, walks, or overnight care, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of exercise, love, and supervision. I treat every pet in my care as part of my family. In my home or a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions carefully, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: 20% off code upon FIRST booking 😁 || I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was little. My parents are huge fans of dogs, bull dogs especially. I also love cats! I’ve had 3 cats of my own and I have two birds. I am also enrolled in a vet care school called Pennfoster to get my degree. I also have experience with exotic pets like birds and spiders. Currently have a babygirl hampster named Willow ☺️ Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine because i have a lot of free time. I love going to parks and into nature overall and walking in it, and i feel my love for animals with my adventurous and animal loving attitude I could help care for them and make them happy as well I care for pets in my home by walking them a few times throughout the day. They don’t normally have to wait around for that because i like getting out a lot. I also bathe when/if need be. they eat between 2-3 times a day. I also purchase new toys for others pets to make them feel welcomed and gift them. Treats are also given as well. The most important part to me also is the quality time throughout the day. Dog Park available at my residence.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Congress

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 883 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Congress. 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 your Congress. 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 , 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 Congress 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Congress. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
