About: I grew up working alongside my grandparents who were very big into rescuing and fostering animals in need. I have plenty of experience in medicating animals (even the feisty ones) and am always up for a little challenge. I currently have open availability throughout the week and can do overnights! I’d be more than happy to come to you, or your fur baby is more than welcome to stay here, whatever makes you most comfortable! My soul focus would be to make sure that your pet felt loved and safe while you’re away. There are currently no pets in my home so your baby would get my full attention and there’s a lovely park just behind my neighborhood with plenty of space to run, walk and play

My dog is usually very shy around strangers, but he loved her immediately and went on the walk with her without any hesitation. I couldn't be happier with her service, and I highly recommend her!.”

About: I would love to have a companion for walks while helping out busy pet owners! I grew up with medium and small dogs (Brittany Spaniel and Pomeranian) and enjoy being around all animals. I try to keep my prices as affordable as possible because I genuinely enjoy walking dogs and know how quickly pet costs can add up. My goal is to provide high-quality, reliable care at a price that feels accessible. Don’t hesitate to reach out if your dog needs some exercise and attention! Open for walks anytime on Friday evenings before dark and all day on Saturdays. I am happy to accommodate longer, faster walks/jogs for energetic dogs or slower, shorter walks for smaller or older dogs. I work full time Monday-Friday, but may add more week day evenings in the future. If you currently need help on a specific weekday, feel free to ask and I will check my availability! I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I’m confident handling dogs on walks and will be diligent about avoiding other people/dogs to decrease stress for your pet and maintain the best safety possible.

About: Rising JMU senior offering dependable dog care, walks, playtime, and companionship. Experienced with dogs of all sizes. I am back for school and only have classes mid day so i’m available mornings, early afternoons, and at night! I’m currently a senior at James Madison University and have a pretty flexible schedule! My earliest class doesn’t start until 1 and my latest class ends at 5 so i’m available in the morning and early afternoon as-well as the evening. I’m also available all day on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I make sure they always have attention whether that is playing with them or just petting them. I always make sure they have a full water bowl at all times and are going outside to get fresh air and going to the bathroom frequently. Also I always make sure to clean up any messes your pet makes before leaving, whether it’s fluff from a toy or any accidents they may have!

About: I love dogs more than most people :) and am always looking to make more furry friends. I am also a massage therapist and give a doggone good doggy rub. I am happy and entertained by a good game of catch and retrieve and am as comfortable with 2 pound pups as I am with 200 pound pups. I also have a large yard at home and may be open to sitting at my home occasionally under the right circumstances. I am an RN by trade, so I am also comfortable dealing with special needs and conditions. If your dog likes the local dog park, that can be worked out as well. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pup(s) soon. Cats also welcomed. I am working part time, so my schedule is flexible and weekends are an option often. My favorite part of every day is dog time.. I have a large yard out in the county away from traffic and an old lazy 14yr old lab who is user friendly with others. Crates are welcome but not necessary. My boy runs the lay of the land.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cross Keys

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 688 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cross Keys. 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 Cross Keys. 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 Cross Keys 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 Cross Keys. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 .

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.
