About: I am dependable, punctual, and caring. I grew up all my life caring for my own pets and dog sitting for family and friends. I look forward to meeting yours! I am currently home for college and have no extracurriculars interfering with giving your loved ones my attention, so I look forward to meeting them! I can follow any rules you set for your pet in or around your home and will try my best to make them feel yhe most normal and at ease.
About: Growing up I have had many family pets and have loved taking care of and bonding with every one of them. I have dog/ cat/ lizard/ snake/ bunny sat for different friends and families throughout the years and I enjoyed every second. It’s so cool learning and experiencing time with different types of animals. I remember the first time I was asked to cat sit for friends for a weekend and felt so honored. They verbally expressed their relief and trust in me to watch their precious baby and I was just glad to help my friends out while spending time with a little cutie. Now I wish to provide relief and comfort for more families and get to meet some new fun little fur babies !! I currently work a part time job so majority of my days are full of a lot of free time ! Most of my shifts tend to average around 5-6 hours so I am free after as well :) I will treat your home and pet(s) exactly as I would my own. Nothing but care and respect in every aspect. I am putting my trust in you just as you are with me. I believe in providing and maintaining a nice community wherever I go.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have helped care for family members’ pets when needed. My experience includes caring for puppies who need extra supervision, as well as a senior dog who required medication. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in a pet’s behavior and needs. I’m comfortable following your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and daily routines within my experience. I understand that every pet is different, and I want to make sure yours receives attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy having the opportunity to give pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their usual routine while their favorite humans are away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I believe in providing plenty of love, patience, attention, and companionship while respecting each pet’s unique personality. Whether that means playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also love sending photo updates and messages so you can see how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. Your home, your pet’s routine, and your instructions will always be treated with care and respect. ❤️🐾
“Tia is awesome with Ziggy. In just 1 week, Ziggy has gotten used to her coming through the door. And sits and waits for her. This has been a lifesaver for us. We will continue to have Tia around as long as she will have us.”

“Natalie was so quick to respond and communicated every detail of her arrival and care of our Zella. This was Natalie’s first time meeting Zella, and their first walk together went great even though Z can be a bit shy and hesitant to new people in her older age! We will definitely book Natalie’s services again!”

“Kennedi came through for my baby at last minute. She has great communication skills, super nice and I know how adventurous and playful Lotus can be so I know she's patient! She's very attentive and I appreciate her for coming through. I will book again”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, especially dogs and, more recently, cats! Growing up, I couldn’t have a pet of my own, so I found joy in caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family members. Whether it was feeding them, bathing them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, spending time with animals has always been a grounding and joyful learning experience. That same love for animals has led me to pursue another childhood dream: learning to horseback ride! A few years ago, I was lucky enough to have a feisty black German Shepherd named Zurro by my side. He gave me the opportunity to learn firsthand what it means to raise a puppy with love, patience, and proper guidance. I know how much our furry and furless friends mean to us, and I understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’m observant, adaptable, and intentional in my care. I’m happy to meet each pet where they are, whether that means going on a long walk, enjoying an energetic play session, or providing a little extra company and cuddles. I’m committed to honoring your pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether you need a walking buddy for your pup, drop-in visits for your pets, or someone to house-sit and keep them company, I’d love to give your best friend the care and attention they deserve!
“Bria has provided such amazing service. She has done things like wipe our pet’s feet after a walk and bring in packages (which, I’m today’s porch pirate environment is a real help when I’m out of town). She is my go to for Magnus.”

About: As a woman In her 40s, in addition to growing up with a German Shepard/Husky mix, I’ve had years of experience with dogs. In 2019, My daughter & I added a new addition to our family which is known as Our Chihuahua Mellow 🎀! With that being said, I have experience with pups ranging in Age, Breed & Size. I work part-time , so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’d prefer any bookings with atleast a 2-3 day notice so I can adjust my schedule and take care of your fur babies to the best of my abilities! 🐶 I have a Fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to play on a Safe & confined space. I also have a large crate if needed.
About: Hi! I have been a pet parent for most of my life. I enjoy helping others in my community feel safe and less stressed with leaving their loved ones with someone! I can adjust to your needs and make things easy as possible. I usually respond very quickly and I am open to short notices as well! I am currently building an app and finishing up my Masters degree. I am looking for something to earn income while I finish strong on these projects. I have 3 rooms, I have doggy parks, normal parks, and various pet stores near me and vets for emergencies. I have an experienced pet owner besides myself available as well. I clean every two days in general and I clean my cats litter 1-2 times a day depending as well.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.

About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys
About: I grew up in Jamaica with 6 dogs that I loved dearly. I've been taking care of them since I was 9 and they're literally family to me. I have a genuine love for my fur babies and that's why I've decided to go to Veterinary School so I can learn more about these lovely fellas. I also volunteer at foster centers just to bring dogs out to explore the world as they deserve while they wait for their new families. I'm a part-time employee and part-time student with a lot of spare time on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I will happily use towards giving your pets the best time ever. When walking dogs, I prefer to keep them in an open non-crowded area away from potential threats (animals and humans). I tend to be hyper vigilant as I understand my responsibility and priority of keeping your pets safe. If they're meeting other dogs, I shorten the leash and always watch out for signs of discomfort or aggression. Lastly, I'll ensure your pets are fully hydrated during their walks.
About: Hi, I’m Sa’Niahja – a lifelong animal lover with real experience, not just weekend pet-sitting! I’ve cared for my unneutered pit bull for 14 amazing years and have also raised two sweet cats along the way. I’ve seen it all—from zoomies to mood swings—and I know how to treat animals with patience, love, and respect. What sets me apart? 🐾 I don’t believe in crates or cages. I believe pets deserve freedom, comfort, and lots of attention—just like they get at home. 🐾 I’m confident handling strong, high-energy breeds (yep, even the misunderstood ones). 🐾 I treat every pet like family, because that’s what they are to you and to me. Whether your pet is shy, sassy, or full of energy, I’m here to give them a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Let’s make your pet’s day just as good as yours! I’m currently working part-time as a substitute teacher, with very flexible hours and days, so fitting your pet into my schedule isn’t a problem at all! Your pet will be treated like one of my own in a calm, cage-free environment. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a semi-fenced outdoor area for fresh air and quick potty breaks. For more exercise and fun, we’ll take nice long walks around the neighborhood and, with your permission, visit a nearby family friend’s house that has a spacious, secure backyard for extra playtime. I keep things relaxed and low-stress—no crates, just love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs (if your pet's into that). Whether your pet likes to lounge or stay active, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they feel safe, seen, and spoiled.
About: I have plenty of pet experience! I say pet because I have had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and even turtles! I wish I could watch them all but I can only watch a cat or dog :) I will care for them as my own & can fully trust me to take care of your love bug! I work from home so I have plenty of time on my hands! I can even work from my phone if I need to take them out on a walk around the neighborhood. I live in a safe neighborhood with a lot of animals around! I live in a full apartment with a lot of space and lighting for your love bug to be comfortable as they want to be!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - District Heights
I had a very last minute booking and Tamela and her daughter made time to walk Asher for me. She was very communicative and kind and I know Asher had a great walk from how calm he was when I returned from work. I would definitely recommend for dog walking services.

Cayla was the best! She was timely, professional, and so kind and loving to my Bodie. Bodie can have a lot of energy and be a puller on walks, but she was patient with him and made sure to take long walks to get all of his energy out. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Thanks Cayla!

Bria continues to be amazing! She’s always reliable, takes great care of Luna, and goes above and beyond. During this visit, Luna wasn’t feeling well and had a couple of accidents. Bria took the time to clean everything up and make sure everything was taken care of, even though she didn’t have to. I really appreciate the extra care and attention she gives every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker!

Clarice did a wonderful job with Roscoe. He connected with her easily on the meet and greet, where she asked and learned about his quirks and personality. She accepted a somewhat last-minute request, and she treated him well! Highly recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in District Heights is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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 16,000 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across District Heights. 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 District 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 District 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 District Heights. On Rover:
- 85% 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.
