“Wow, what a lovely person! Jennifer truly cares about doing a great job caring for animals- specifically my dog and two cats!!! I’m so grateful for her incredible communication and dedication to her job!!!”
“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
“Tom and Cynthia have been extremely helpful when we’ve needed a last minute dog walker. Tom is fast at responding, which I appreciate. I can tell he takes good care of our dog :)”
About: Hello! I am a student at the University of South Wales doing my bachelor's in Wildlife Ecology Conservation. Im looking for petsitting/dog walking work while Im here through september. Im an aspiring veterinarian and have cared for anything domestic like dogs, cats, birds, or rabbits and exotics like hedgehogs, lions, and elephants. Please let me know if you need any animal care this summer! Im affordable and flexible ❤️🐶🐘 Im currently on school break and taking summer online classes. I love high energy dogs to join me on local hikes and long walks or low energy dogs to keep me company on the couch or while I work on my online classes. Im flexible! How I manage your pet depends on their personality. If theyre a cuddle bug theyll be right there with me all the time, but if they prefer their own space I'll keep them company from the other room
“Kelly was amazing for Hemi’s walk this weekend! She really wore Hemi out! She stayed longer than required. Great with communication. Kelly genuinely loves dogs and being around them. Will continue to use her as our dog walker :)”
“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”
“Brianna has been great with my dog Taz. She is always on time and makes sure he is taken care of. I’ve had to contact her last minute and always responds with quick response. I highly reccomend using Brianna for any of your dog caring needs.”
About: Growing up with pets, I learned how to care for them at a very young age. Whether it’s feeding, snuggling, walking, or playtime, I love caring for furry friends! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for morning walks, mid day check-ins, and nighttime snuggles. I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, no matter where they are. I’m great at following instructions and solving problems when they occur.
“Christine is the best! She is responsive, communicative and gives nice long walks. My dog is always happy to see her. I feel confident that my sweet pooch is cared for with Christine. I Highly recommend her.”
About: Consistency and reliability around my area for others who need help. Also being a young adventures college student staying busy and staying active is critical for healthy mindset Currently waiting on job responses so during the week I’m fairly free to be available since I live in close proximity I’m able to stay on notice. I’ve house/dog care for many pets of mutual I know. I own a 1 year old golden retriever who’s my 4th dog and always tend to her schedule as well with staying active!
About: We only take hypo-allergenic dogs. We have a great backyard and love going for walks. We have three kids who love dogs. We also have two pups that love to play too! Enjoy taking pups for morning and afternoon walks and letting dogs out to play in backyard anytime. My kids enjoy playing with pups when they get home from school. We are a smoke free, clean and eager to play with an additional pup. We only take hyper-allergenic dogs and are firm on this. So please don’t choose us if you don’t have these kind of dogs.
About: Aside from having two cats of my own, I have fostered over 10 different cats and been a trusted dog sitter for family and friends. My experience caring for multiple animals is what I believe makes me qualified to take good care of your furry friend! I am currently home for winter break from college and since I have a lot of free time, I would love to be able to put that towards taking care of animals. I am very available during the day for pet visits, etc. I also am generally available during the night as well! Considering my cats are very curious, I have developed the good habit of remaining aware of surroundings, things that they may be able to eat, unsafe items, and keeping doors closed. I also have had experience with many different animals allowing me to adjust well to each pets needs!
About: I have over a decade of experience in animal care. I've worked at the McLean Animal Hospital, walked and cared for dozens of dog breeds while living in New York City, and volunteered at the Smithsonian National Zoo with Asian elephants. I'm an Oxford English student home for the summer and love wildlife photography and spending time outside. I’m an Oxford English student home for the summer, so, save for reading and writing, I have plenty of time to play with your pups! Happy to maintain your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own space––and your home still feeling like home!
About: I’ve always had dogs, birds, and lizards surrounding me ever since I was young! I love animals more than anything, and dogs are my absolute favorite, although I am a lover of all furry friends. As a 30 year old and throughout my 20s I have had a mastiff mix, and now still with my husky/German Shepard mix, Cocoa. She is 9 years old and has been with me every year of her life! I love to take care of her, and will do the same for your pets! I have pet sat for many of my friend’s cats and adore their funny personalities as well! I am currently a student, and my classes are in the evening for a short time, so I have some free time to be able to pet sit and walk your pets! My classes end in the evenings early on so if someone needs their pet checked on and walked/ water and fed I am able to come later on in the evening! I have an apartment with lots of walking space, but can drive to anyone to dog sit or walk, and keep your pet comfy and happy with lots of walks, play time, and making sure whatever their routine is, kept accordingly! I also am familiar with crate trained doggies, which I have had my dog do in the past when she was younger. I am here for whatever your animal friend needs!

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!

Claire has been wonderful to work with! She came by the day before for a site visit to meet my dog, which I really appreciated. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions, learn about my dog’s routine, and make sure she understood his needs. Communication has been excellent from the start, and she’s been incredibly flexible and accommodating. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me peace of mind, and I feel confident knowing my dog will be in great hands. I’m looking forward to using her dog walking services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Thanks, Claire! 🐾😊
Marti is always so wonderful with our dog Hemi! She is very responsive with walking requests when sent. She is flexible with timing and will always make herself available for your doggo. Further, Hemi loves her and at the end of their walk Marti even spends time with our cat giving her AND Hemi both treats and pets.
My dog stayed with me for a few months and because of my job, it's hard for me to predict when I will need a dog walker in advance. Despite my many last minute asks, Edward K. helped me by taking care of Oreo. His communication was great. The pictures he sent indicated that Oreo really liked him and had a great walk each time. Most importantly when I got home I could tell that Oreo's walk with Edward made him more peaceful and settled during my long days away from him. Oreo is going back to live with his family in Ohio for a season but I just wanted to thank Edward publically for helping out in this really meaningful way!
Claire was absolutely fantastic! She stepped in super last minute to walk our 65-lb Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, her communication was excellent — she kept us updated and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Claire was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly very comfortable handling a larger dog. Our pup came back happy and well exercised, which says everything. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would recommend Claire any day and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you're looking for someone reliable, communicative, and great with dogs (especially bigger ones), Claire is the one!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Dranesville on Rover is $31.08 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 16,202 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dranesville. 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 Dranesville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Dranesville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Dranesville. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
