Lori has been walking my dog for about a week while I am in a walking boot and she is so great! She is always on time and is very communicative. My dog absolutely loves her and has been anticipating her visits on the days she is scheduled (he starts looking out of the window when it is close to time for her to come).

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. IMPORTANT: I only take pets from one family at a time. I want to enjoy your dog. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

Cam was an excellent dog walker! He followed all of the instructions I left for him, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with him. I truly appreciated his reliability and attention to detail. I will definitely be using Cam again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

About: I used to be a dog mom to a mini poodle, unfortunately he passed away at 17 years 🥹. I have experience managing reactive dogs. My fur baby was a rescue. I love my time with dogs because they are just pure joy! I work from home 4 days out of the week (7am-4pm). I typically commute to work on Wednesdays. My job is pretty relaxed and allows me to tend to any additional needs. I’m pretty flexible overall just need notice ahead of time. I am very trustworthy and customer service oriented. I like to ensure I know everything about the household I’m going to and any details about the fur baby that I should be aware of. My goal is to keep the fur baby safe and the owner happy.

About: Hello there! Our pet sitting business is ran by father and daughter, Avery and Nefertari. Our dog Sammy Sosa lived to be 18 years old and Nefertari started sitting other dogs after he passed away. Avery is retired and lives up to the saying “a dog is truly a man’s best friend”. We enjoy nurturing them, playing with them and spending time with them as it brings us joy. We have skills in walking, feeding and bathing. If your dog needs medication during their stay we can give it to them. If approved we will take your dog/pup to a nearby dog park for some fun on the weekends and some weekdays. We can also take your dog to their vet or groomer when requested. Nefertari is currently working full time so she will be at home with your dog during the evening and on her off days. Avery is retired and will be home during the day especially for those much needed potty breaks. We will probably spend more time outside on the weekends at the dog park or on car rides when the weather permits. During the week, Nefertari goes to work and church and Avery works in the evening so if your pup requires a lot of attention we can provide this. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we live in a walkable neighborhood. We can take your dog to a dog park for some leash free fun as well. They will probably be taken out 2-3 times while we are home. Fed twice a day unless specified otherwise. We will crate the dog if needed, but we prefer not to keep the dog in the crate when we are at home and like for them to roam around the house freely. We are interactive pet sitters, so we welcome all treats and toys with your dog for their stay.

About: I’ve had many dogs of my own, mostly pit mixes, but I’ve bonded with a wide range of dog breeds from chihuahuas to cane corsos. I’m in school completing clinical rotations . I have Saturday- Monday availability perfect for time to visit parks and go on walks. I’m open to negotiating drop ins and walks Tuesday- Friday after 6pm I am very safe and respectful, and will care for your pet and home with high regard. I enjoy entertaining high energy pets as I’m very active. I also love to snuggle with the cuddle bugs so we will have a lot of fun regardless of your pets personality type.

About: My friends and clients call me at anytime of the day and week and know they can count on me for last minute pet sitting !! Your pet is welcome to stay with me from a couple of hours to a couple of months ! We can obviously work something out for longer stays ! I accept same day clients because I understand there is emergencies and last minute trips of course! Also I’m a groomer so with a heads up I can return your pet to you with a full haircut and or nail trim . (: I have great prices for baths starting from $30 for a chihuahua up to $80 for a husky. (: haircuts very from $60+ $100 depending on if your pet is matted or not. Please keep me in mind even if you just read my bio and check me out for a second , save my profile so you can book me for grooms, every pet should be bathed atleast once every season or 4 times a year (at least) … and nail trims should be atleast every 2 months for better walking for your pet. Message me if you have any questions you may have about me and we can arrange a video call if you’re interested in meeting me before actually meeting me in person of course! I also speak Spanish so if your pets only speak Spanish then I’m the one 😉 Boarding fits into my daily lifestyle easily, I groom dogs and cats everyday so taking care of them overnight is like heaven to me! ❤️ I enjoy my job and your pet will be in safe hands with me 🐶🐱 I have a fenced yard and air tags for safety in case your pet is a digger hahaha 😆 I offer pickup and drop off with safety measures like dog seat belts and car crates for their safety!

About: I am trying to go in college for vet tech so it’s hands-on experience I truly value! I focus on calm, safe handling and pay close attention to each pet’s health, behavior, and comfort. Your pet will be treated with patience, respect, and genuine care!! :) Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so pets receive consistent attention and care. I am off on Mondays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or additional needs. I can also request days off with a two week advance notice, allowing me to adjust my availability when needed. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My dogs are outside dogs, but they are very much part of my daily routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, and individual attention to ensure they’re getting the care, exercise, and affection they need.

About: I’ve had a dog since a child, but about 5 years ago I began volunteering taking care of puppies at a local rescue in Nashville. From there, I adopted my first dog Carmelo, who I had for two years before epilepsy unfortunately shortened his life. After I healed, I began fostering dogs of all ages, mostly older just due to the need being higher. I found I have such a strong love for dogs that most don’t even reach. I wanted to be able to love old dogs who needed homes in their last days so I adopted Peppa who stayed with me until cancer won the fight. I still occasionally foster but since losing my full-time job, I have had to move to this side of things. I have pretty open availability right now. I am open for overnights. If I am able to go do some delivery for a few hours in between, that is so helpful. I follow directions to a T whether inside or out of the clients home. Providing the dog comfort, safety and familiarity is my top priority. I am not trying to raise or train your dogs. I just want to let them know that when you’re gone, they are always in good hands.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. What sets me apart is how attentive and dependable I am—I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m confident with basic puppy training like leash walking and reinforcing commands, and I also provide gentle senior care, including medication support and mobility assistance. I treat every pet like family and always follow their routine to keep them happy while you’re away 🐾 Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special needs to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to maintain pets’ regular routines and provide dependable care whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my schedule rather than an afterthought. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine, rules, and instructions to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet-safe by removing hazards, securing doors and gates, and supervising pets at all times. I respect my clients’ homes, provide regular updates, and communicate clearly so owners feel confident and informed. Whether in my home or theirs, I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fairfax

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fairfax on Rover is $43.29 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,122 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fairfax. 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 Fairfax. 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 Fairfax.

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 Fairfax. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
