“Abigail is amazing with my dogs. She is patient with both my reactive Terrier who can pull on the leash and my senior frail Chihuahua. She is easy to communicate with and I feel like my pets could’t be in better hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“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’ve been a (very happy) dog owner for 10 years, and an animal lover since my first pet cat at the age of 5. My two rescue pups are my life, and they live a healthy, active and loving life with me here in Burke. Growing up on a farm provided me with a life filled with animal caretaking, and has given me several unique opportunities to care for a TONS of different pets. Since living here in Burke for 2 years, I take a lot of pride in meeting and interacting with all of our dogs and families within our community. I spend a lot of time helping out neighbors with last minute dog walks or home sitting, and working with our other community members to create inclusive, safe environments for our dogs to play and interact at our local dog park. Taking care of dogs is a serious passion of mine. I treat my dogs Molly and Luna as my children, and I extend that same love and care to all fur babies who come my way. Working with pets is currently my full-time job and focus! Finding time to take care of your loved one(s) IS my routine, and can be available to provide walks, play time, house sitting, park visits, etc., from 9-4 every week day. I like to treat your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all directions providing for feeding, walks, and more. But on top of that I love to just spend time with them to make them feel at ease - belly rubs, playing with their favorite toy, or whatever else brings them joy!
About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. I also have a long time favorite customer that i continually go back to for visits. I go to Nova Community College full time and work part time as an RBT (registered behavior technician) with autistic children. I own 3 dogs of my own at the current moment, so taking care of them is part of my daily routine. Anything I can do. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and i let my dogs walk freely. I’m open to any accommodations needed for dogs +cats.
“Today was our first time meeting Seth - very nice guy and super well versed in animal care and bigger dogs like my boy, Ghost. Knew exactly how to handle Ghost’s excitement and occasional stubbornness. Informative and willing to work with my schedule and even help out with training!! Can’t wait for Ghost to have a new best friend while I’m busy at work (:”
About: Hi everyone! I'm Charlotte and I'm a college student majoring in Wildlife Conservation. I've always loved all kinds of animals, and I have two cats at home! I have sitting experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, fish, and geckos. I’m a very active person and would love to play with dogs or take them on long walks. I also really enjoy a nice long cuddle session! I have so much love for animals and I love taking care of them. Please reach out if you think I'm a good fit for your pet! I will be able to fit pet care in very well. My other job is babysitting for two kids, and that has very flexible timing and I can always take them with me if needed. I can drive so I will be able to stop by houses easily! I can take dogs into my backyard where they can run around, but they won't be able to go in my house because I have my own pets. Likewise, I cannot bring cats into my own home because my cats do not get along with others. But I am more than willing to visit my client's home and stay overnight if necessary!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I regularly pet-sit my teacher’s two Maltese dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I’ve also helped care for a Great Pyrenees, which gave me experience handling large breeds that need confidence, patience, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve spent time around and built great relationships with my neighbors’ dogs, including a Corgi, an Australian Shepherd, and a Border Collie, which has helped me become comfortable with both playful companion breeds and highly active working dogs. Caring for my own rescue cats, Lily and Sky, has also taught me the importance of routine, gentle handling, and paying close attention to animal behavior. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same level of care I would want for my own. I’m flexible and able to provide attentive care throughout the day, especially during weekends and most weekdays. Since I’m local to Burke and nearby areas, I can reliably maintain your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and companionship. I’ll make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. I’m patient and attentive with animals of different temperaments, and I always prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment. I also have experience caring for my two rescue cats, Lily and Sky, which has taught me the importance of gentle care, consistency, and paying attention to subtle behavioral changes.
“Bristol, is an incredible dog walker. She constantly kept me updated on how the walks went with the notes and pics. She went above and beyond with her commitment to walking my dog. Walking her in snow, and extreme cold and windy conditions. She made leaving my pets for a week 1000% less stressful knowing they were in kind and good hands. I would 1 million percent book with her again for future trips. Thank you Bristol!!!”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life, including regular walks, grooming, feeding and play. I grew up with Boston Terrier that suffered severe anxiety, and I have a deep understanding of how to ensure the comfort and contentment of dogs. I work part-time, with a few summer classes, so I have plenty of free time. I already love to volunteer with therapy animals and walk outside for exercise — dog-walking would be killing two birds with one stone! I have experience grooming, feeding and leashing dogs. I have also administered medication when needed. Aside from direct care, I like to ensure my dogs are living in healthy spaces, so I regularly clean beds and replenish food and water.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old and have experience with dogs, cats, and many other types of pets. I’m a trusted dog and cat sitter in my neighborhood, and many of my clients come through referrals. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. Pet care is a part of my everyday life! I have three dogs and a turtle of my own, and I also regularly care for my neighbors’ pets. I’m flexible with my schedule and am happy to work around your needs whenever possible. I always make sure to follow any special instructions or routines you have for your pet so they receive the best possible care. I regularly walk dogs (and even the occasional cat!) and know how to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.
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.
“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’ve cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits since I was a kid, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. I also have experience supporting special‑needs pets and giving medication to both dogs and rabbits — even the ones who aren’t exactly thrilled about taking it. I have recently lost both my Jessie boy (husky mix) and Luna girl (holland lop rabbit) so I have plenty of time and fur baby love to give. I am available weekdays till 5 and Weekends after 12 noon. Everyone loves a good routine — our fur babies included. I’m happy to follow any schedule, habits, or special instructions your pet relies on. Whether it’s daily rituals, medications, or specific training cues, I’ll make sure everything is done just the way they’re used to. Your pup or bunny’s comfort and consistency always come first.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax Station
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.

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.

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
- 96% 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.
