“Samara was great with my furbabies! They get very hyper and excited when they meet new people and handle them very well. I know they’re in good hands when I’m not around.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have helped care for family members’ pets when needed. My experience includes caring for puppies who need extra supervision, as well as a senior dog who required medication. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in a pet’s behavior and needs. I’m comfortable following your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and daily routines within my experience. I understand that every pet is different, and I want to make sure yours receives attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy having the opportunity to give pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their usual routine while their favorite humans are away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I believe in providing plenty of love, patience, attention, and companionship while respecting each pet’s unique personality. Whether that means playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also love sending photo updates and messages so you can see how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. Your home, your pet’s routine, and your instructions will always be treated with care and respect. ❤️🐾
About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, especially dogs and, more recently, cats! Growing up, I couldn’t have a pet of my own, so I found joy in caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family members. Whether it was feeding them, bathing them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, spending time with animals has always been a grounding and joyful learning experience. That same love for animals has led me to pursue another childhood dream: learning to horseback ride! A few years ago, I was lucky enough to have a feisty black German Shepherd named Zurro by my side. He gave me the opportunity to learn firsthand what it means to raise a puppy with love, patience, and proper guidance. I know how much our furry and furless friends mean to us, and I understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’m observant, adaptable, and intentional in my care. I’m happy to meet each pet where they are, whether that means going on a long walk, enjoying an energetic play session, or providing a little extra company and cuddles. I’m committed to honoring your pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether you need a walking buddy for your pup, drop-in visits for your pets, or someone to house-sit and keep them company, I’d love to give your best friend the care and attention they deserve!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 6 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple family dogs, including my own dog since 2019, my mom’s two dogs, and my husband’s dog. I also cared for my two cats and helped raise their three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. I’ve been an animal lover since my first dog at the age of 2. I’ve always been loving and playful with them and when they misbehaved i’d only cage them temporarily so they know what they did was wrong without popping the dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing companionship for pets ranging from young animals to seniors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which allows me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Before care begins, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. During visits and walks, I remain attentive to their needs and surroundings, ensuring they receive proper care, exercise, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I respect both your pet and your home as if they were my own and believe in maintaining open communication through updates and photos. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: I provide reliable, gentle care for pets of all personalities. I take time to understand each animal’s routine and comfort level, offering calm interaction, clean spaces, and consistent feeding. Whether playful, shy, or special-needs, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood—while keeping you updated along the way. I’m currently a full-time student attending school online so I’m open and available for all your pet care needs, at any time of day! I’m fine with doing weekends, and overnight stays if necessary, just let me know! I offer calm, reliable in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely—feeding, cleaning, playtime, and any special needs—while keeping their environment tidy and stress-free. My goal is to make your home feel just as safe and comforting for your pet as when you’re there!
About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience raising two pit bulls from puppyhood into adulthood. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and I always make safety and positive interactions a priority. I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets. My schedule is pretty open and can work during the week or weekends. When caring for pets in a client's home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention.
“Bria has been awesome! Extremely professional and has great communication. She worked very well with my hard headed dog and displayed patience when dealing with him. I definitely recommend her!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
Corey did a wonderful job caring for our large breed fur babies. He was prompt and consistent. He walked Sasha & Simba daily and sent us pictures of their time together. Corey followed all feeding and medication instructions. He went above expectations and scooped poop, that was not part of his responsibility, but really appreciated. I would highly recommend Corey's services and we will definitely request him for any future travel plans or for just walking them when available.
Taivon responded very quickly to my last minute booking request & was super helpful when It came to walking my dog as I was unable to get out of bed due to sickness. He is very professional when it comes to communication , he’s patient with my Rottweiler and he makes sure my pup gets his energy out by the time he comes back from his walk. I was honestly surprised at how calm my dog was upon meeting him for the first time. If Riley is happy, i’m happy🐶. Will be booking again 👍🏽.
Cayla was the best! She was timely, professional, and so kind and loving to my Bodie. Bodie can have a lot of energy and be a puller on walks, but she was patient with him and made sure to take long walks to get all of his energy out. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Thanks Cayla!

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 Forestville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
