“I was lucky to find Tasha, a new local dog walker in our town. She responds to messages quickly, is available for morning walks, friendly and, most importantly, punctual and reliable.”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Woodstock! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of him during his walk. I appreciated the update and felt confident he was in good hands. I’d be happy to book Jennifer again and highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I'm Martin! 🐾 I'm a Falls Church local and lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of dog ownership experience. I've shared my life with three dogs (a Greyhound, a Terrier mix, and a Shih Tzu) plus a cat (and I've domesticated a deer), so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. As a stay-at-home dad, I bring the same patience, reliability, and care to your pet that I give my own family. I walk my dogs at least an hour every day and know the streets, parks, and trails of Falls Church like the back of my hand; your dog will be in safe hands and great company. I'm also a certified Project Manager (PMP), which means I take schedules, communication, and accountability seriously. You'll always know where your dog is and how the visit went. Available for dog walks and home visits. A bit of French-Canadian warmth included at no extra charge! 🇨🇦 I'd love to meet your furry family member. Feel free to reach out! Pet care is genuinely woven into my daily life. As a part-time stay-at-home dad in Falls Church, I have a flexible schedule that revolves around routine and responsibility, which suits dogs perfectly. I walk my own dogs for at least an hour every day, rain or shine, so adding a few extra furry companions to my routine is a natural fit rather than an afterthought. While my child is at daycare, I have dedicated time each day to focus entirely on the pets in my care: no rushing, no cutting walks short. After 10 years of dog ownership across three very different breeds (a Greyhound, a terrier, and a Shih Tzu), I've learned to read dog behavior and adapt to each animal's needs and pace. Pet care isn't a side hustle I'm figuring out as I go, it's an extension of how I already live my day. For dog walks, I treat every dog as an individual. Some dogs want a brisk, purposeful walk; others need time to sniff and explore at their own pace. I follow the dog's lead. I know Falls Church well and plan routes that are safe, enjoyable, and appropriate for the dog's size and energy level. I always carry water for longer walks and keep dogs leashed and under close control at all times. For cat drop-in visits, I keep things calm and low-key. Cats are creatures of habit, so I stick closely to their established routine: feeding, fresh water, litter box, and a quick health check to make sure everything looks normal. If a cat wants affection and playtime I'm happy to provide it; if they'd rather keep their distance, I respect that too. Having lived with a cat myself, I know not to take it personally! I'll always send an update with a photo so you know the visit went smoothly. In a client's home, I treat the space with full respect: no disruptions to the pet's environment, doors and gates secured, and clear communication with the owner if anything seems off.
About: I’ve loved all kinds of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua. Keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to your house and be a friendly presence and go on walks whenever! I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾
“Juan walked our dog on short notice and was able to handle him jumping and barking without any issue. We really appreciate his friendliness and responsiveness.”
“Absolutely thrilled with Ozge dog walking services! She’s incredibly trustworthy, always respectful with my dog, and does an excellent job every time. She spends the time to get my dog tired and sends multiple pictures each time. Her communication is prompt and clear, which makes everything so easy. I highly recommend her to any dog parent looking for a reliable walker. Highly recommend for anyone looking in falls church to walk or watch their dog!”
“I’m so happy we have found Molly! She walks our goldendoodle regularly and takes such good care of her. She is quick to respond and leaves us great photos and summaries in her rover cards!”
“Manuel was wonderful with my dog. He needs a little time to warm up to new people and Manuel went out of his way to spend extra time making sure Tigger felt comfortable. I will be using Manuel's services again for sure.”
About: I had a small maltese-poodle mix for over 16 years who I personally trained, boarded dogs of a family friend, and walked rescue greyhounds and other rescues. I currently have pretty wide open availability with prior notice. I am allergic to cats so unfortunately cannot board cats, but am able to do drops-ins. I currently have a wide range of availability with prior notice while working a PRN job in healthcare with the elderly. Currently available for weekdays and weekends. I will follow any instructions given to a T while striving to maintain the routine your pet is accustomed to, while giving them plenty of scratches and belly rubs and cuddles :) I understand some rescues prefer less physical touch due to trust and comfort issues, and I will proceed with whatever level of touch your pet chooses to engage with me.
About: I have previous experience working in the Veterinary field. We have one well-loved senior beagle mix and two, sweet male kitties. I am skilled with medication administration with dogs and cats. I am a part-time preschool teacher, so I have time during the morning and afternoon to take care of your fur babies. I am available on the weekends as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a screened in porch for a little extra relaxation. I will offer plenty of treats, and fresh water for every visit is a must!

It's been so wonderful having Ruby walk my pup. I'm very protective over him and she has done a great job putting me at ease. She's always on time and responsive which is a huge deal for me. She handles all his crazy golden energy in stride. Highly recommend her.
My Luna girl LOVED Makaylah and was comfortable with her from the get go- which doesn’t always happen as Luna has… big feels lol. Makaylah handled her well, gave her good exercise, and communicated well with me regarding walks (and her move 😔)Sad to see her move away, she is great!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Falls Church on Rover is $22.2 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 16,161 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Falls Church. 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 Falls Church. 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 Falls Church.

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 Falls Church. 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.
