“Amazing dog walker! She was reliable, professional, and took great care of my dogs. They absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would hire her again anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing specialized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have experience in training puppies and providing gentle care for senior pets. I understand that every furry friend is unique, and I strive to create a personalized and loving experience for each one. My goal is to ensure their comfort, happiness, and overall well-being while their owners are away. Being home full time allows me to fully dedicate myself to pet care. It's a part of my daily routine, ensuring that I can give your precious fur babies all the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it's feeding, playing, or just cuddling, I'm always there for them! As a pet watcher, I make sure to follow any specific instructions given by the owner, such as feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I strive to create a comfortable and familiar environment for the cats/dogs, reducing any stress or anxiety they may experience while their owners are away.
“Sofia has been great with my dog. She’s been extremely patient even when my dog has been fussy. It only took a couple of walks before she warmed up to her. Definitely want to thank Sofia for everything and I know Katie is looking forward to future walks!”
“Skylar always takes Casper for the best walks! He is very attentive and communicative when it comes to bookings. He is also a really great trainer and always helps with loose leash training.”
About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is flexible. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.
“What can I say? Chelsea is amazing!! I have a high anxiety dog who has kept us from leaving him alone for more than a few hours at a time. Until he met Chelsea, that is. He loves her. And so does my other dog. For the first time in 11 years we're finally comfortable enough to leave our pups with a dog walker/dog sitter. Chelsea is responsible, caring, and responsive. I'm so glad we've found her. Our dogs couldn't be happier and we feel relaxed anytime we want to go out of town or work late!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.
About: I am a lover of all animals and I currently have my tabby cat, April. My first pet sitting experiences started with my sister and long time friend, both of whom own two doggos. I like to send updates and pictures about every 2 hours and go on extended walks if your pet enjoys that. I’m also not scared to ask questions to ensure I’m giving your baby the best care possible. Special food instructions and medication with pill pockets have been common. Clients in the NOVA and DC area have emphasized that I’ve given them a peace of mind while they are away! I am a full time pet sitter and dog walker! I have plenty of open slots for walking. Recently I’ve been working with clients that I’ve met in person or through groups on Facebook, which is why you don’t see recent reviews on here. Feel free to follow Soso’s Pet Care on FB! When caring for your fur baby, I will carefully follow any instructions given to me regarding feeding, play time, and walking. I’ll always ensure the safety of your pet comes first, staying aware and cautious of other dogs, bikers, and traffic. Gaining their trust and giving them affection follows right behind that!
About: Hey! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I am a lifelong dog lover, having owned small medium and large breeds since childhood and throughout my life. From Dachshunds, to Dalmatians, to Great Danes and Rhodesians, I have vast experience with all dog sizes and strengths; As well as the psychology and temperament that accompanies each breed, and the necessary handling and demeanor. The time spent as a Veterinary technicians assistant in college means I'm also familiar with some basic dog first aid (doggy first aid kit with me), as well as know what to look for and asist in order to make sure each breed is comfortable (ex. larger and or longer breeds may have hip dysplasia or other difficulties). Having spent every summer on a large farm with over 10 dogs, I not only seem to have a second sense for dog behavior, but understand their psychology in a group situation, the hierarchy involved, as well as the need for a sense of security and comfort. I am the one my friends call to come help train their dogs, or even accompany them on a hike in case some first aid is necessary. Moreover three of my close friends are veterinary doctors, whom I speak with daily, and are a great source for any information needed. I have extensive experience with both young puppies, and older dogs who may or may not have some incontinence or other medical issues. I am very familiar with dogs with special needs, as my own previous dog was partially paralyzed, and required medication. At the end of the day, I just love dogs and want them to be as happy and healthy as possible, including cooking custom meals :) I work remotely and at my own pace, so dogs always come first. There is a well groomed dog park across the street that we can go to at any moments notice. I have a dog proofed home, with a very friendly and submissive doggy to keep yours company. I have a ring doorbell camera that monitors the only entrance/exit; There is a very nice fenced dog park across the street with a dog agility course. There are pleanty of dog toys, chews and treats. The dogs are welcome on all the furniture, with a dedicated TV playing doggyTV in the background.
About: Hi! My name is Mindy and I'm so excited to love your pups like they are my own! And a lifelong dog owner and lover, I know how difficult it can be to find someone to trust with your precious pooch- someone patient, playful, loving and attentive- but look no further! I have owned 2 shih tzus and a Belgian Malinois- all of whom lived full and fun lives well into their teenage years. Walks, playing, snuggles- I'm here for it all and happy to provide detailed care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and while now isn't quite the right time to add a pet to our family, I sure do miss having a furry family member around, so I can't wait to love on your pup! Looking forward to meeting soon! I'm a stay at home mom so I have some flexibility and can work with you! Let's connect to discuss your pets needs and how I can help. Safety is always the most important thing. My dogs have always been allowed to roam freely in my home, but I know that does not work for everyone. I want to make sure I provide a similar environment to what your pet is used to and most comfortable with, so let's talk and see what works best! You know your pet best, so I am happy to follow your lead!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Countryside
Rasha is AMAZING. I have a nervous, reactive dog and 2 cats. She has done multiple meet and greets with my dog and has shown a great understanding of reactivity and behavioral principles. Rasha has been SO patient with Luna, and is so positive and gentle. I feel secure when Rasha takes Luna out, and that is a big deal. I am so grateful that I found Rasha!
Carleigh is reliable, caring, and truly exceptional with dogs. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. Knowing my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for gives me complete peace of mind. We feel incredibly lucky to have met Carleigh!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Countryside is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $27 per walk.

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 Countryside. 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 Countryside 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 Countryside. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
