“Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)”
“Courtney was fantastic with Oakley! She took the time to play with him during the walks and ensured he was put up in the crate with water for the rest of the day. Oakley loved his time with Courtney!”

About: I love caring for all kinds of animals! 🐾 I’m comfortable looking after pets with all sorts of personalities, routines, and special needs. Whether it’s taking an energetic dog on a walk, giving a cat some much needed cuddles, keeping small pets fed and comfortable, or simply making sure an animal has company while their person is away, I’m happy to help! I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. ❤️ I have time for work I’m looking to make enough money to move out of my parents house and be able to afford basic living expenses I spend a lot of time taking care of my pets. I walk the dogs, clean up their poop, I also feed them multiple times a day. I also spend several hours a day holding or cuddling my clingy cat and caring for her needs as well.
“Our family booked Jenesis because we had an off month of work schedules and she was able to go above and beyond for us. Jenesis was incredible with our two large pups. She was so patient with them on days they had extra wiggles and she was an excellent communicator with my family. She took them on long walks everyday and they both got much better on leash because of Jenesis. If we ever need a dog walker again we will absolutely be reaching out to her and suggest you all do the same! I cannot say enough good things about Jenesis! Maple and Raja love you!”
“David has done an excellent job with Zelda this week. She looks forward to his arrival and is excited to go for a walk with him. We appreciate his care with Zelda and his flexibility with his time.”
“Kimberly was awesome with Kaya! She was patient and gentle with Kaya and sent us updates and pictures of her during the walk. Kaya came back very content and tired from her walk!”
About: I have trained many dogs including the two I have now, a border collie and a mutt, who are currently on vacation. I’ve taken care of many neighbors and family friends’ dogs of all ages as well, walking, feeding, and playing with them! I currently am not working as I am moving to Australia in October, so I am free almost any day and anytime to care for your dog! I have a dog-friendly home with a crate, fenced-in back yard, and toys and treats galore located in an extremely dog friendly neighborhood
“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”
About: I’m new to rover but a lifelong pet care provider. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats. I’ve some experience with exotics like birds and reptiles as well. I’ve cared for and raised dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to geriatrics and their many potential extra care needs. I pride myself on bringing a balance of experience and calm but engaging energy for all pets. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 90lbs. I’ve provided care for multi-pet and multi-species homes. I pride myself on being the most popular person at the dog park (with dogs, I’m not there for the people). I’m happy to provide additional care to animals that need it for medical or non-medical reasons. Every person and every pet has their own personality and quirks, so I’m happy to learn and provide the highest quality care that I can. I’m currently open to pet care across many times and days. So if you need a recurring or spontaneous pet care, I am happy to work with you. I am experienced with crate training and can crate your dogs if needed. Every home has different dynamics and rules that I want to respect and make your pets experience with me as comfortable and fun as possible. If you have any special requirements, safety concerns, or additional accommodations, then I am always happy to work with pets and their owners for the best possible situation.
“Reese is absolutely wonderful with Jojo! Reliable, great communication, and best if all Jojo loves her 🐾💕 It was a leap of faith trusting a person to come to our home like this but I'm so glad we did!”
About: I am a champion for every animal in my life. I am a proud mama and grandmama for my 2 cats and their kittens. I also have experience taking care of other types of pets, including elderly dogs that required more care and attention. Working in the social media and music world, I have the flexibility to change my daily and weekly schedule as needed for myself and clients. I built trust with my clients by being myself, honest, and kind. This allowed me to care for their pets in their homes, and also overnight as needed.

Bridget did a great job helping take care of our dog Thor when he needed to be taken out a couple times during the day since he’s a lot for me to handle alone! Our other dog Loki also loved having her come over to give him some extra love! We would definitely use her services again!
Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)
Once again Ashlyn was incredible to work with. Prompt, super friendly, supportive, and my dog Gingerbread adored her. I just had a knee surgery two weeks ago, and she was completely happy to help me with a task or two that I just can't do right now. Highly highly recommend!!!
Tonya is incredible! My dog loves her so much. When I mention her name, my dog’s head tilts and his ears are raised. She is very consistent, reliable and flexible. She communicates in a timely manner. Her daily comments about her walks with my dog are informative and humorous, at times.
Oluwatosin is a wonderful dog walker who always arrives on time, has a gentle and loving demeanor with our dogs demeanor. She will promptly tell us if our dog is having any issues, didn’t go to the bathroom, etc. Our dog loves being walked by her and anxiously waits by the window for her arrival. We will definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy person for their fur ball.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fairfax Station on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 .

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 Station. 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 Station.

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 Station. 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.
