“This was my dog’s first walk with Youlee. My dog was nervous at first but when she came home she was so happy! Youlee was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. I’ll definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog sitter for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dog walking and giving dogs the opportunity to sniff and play during their time outside. I also am a cat mom and cat whisperer. My family has 5 cats and I have 1 so I am very well versed in understanding cat body language and boundaries. I work remotely and have a lot of down time between my meetings. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to take some time off during the day if need be for pet care. I live in an apartment, with many parks around me for dog walks. I have a balcony in my apartment and am vigilant to never let animals out there for safety purposes.
About: I grew up with a dog and cat and pet sat for people since 2013. I took a pre-vet class throughout high school where I learned about feeding, cutting nails, grooming, restraint, etc. I also worked as a vet assistant for a few years where I expanded on those skills and learned what to look out for and how to care for any type of pet. I work from home a decent bit and/or work half days so I am pretty flexible during the week days. My work is also flexible so I can prioritize the times you need me to be there. Since I have 2 cats in a one bedroom apartment, I won't be bringing pets to my place. When I go to your home, I will try to make the pets feel comfortable and be a happy smiling face to them. Of course, I will give them some love, pets, food, water, or whatever you and the pet need from me!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and my whole family, including cousins, all have dogs! So it was natural that I finally would get a dog. I wanted to wait until I had the time and attention to do so. It was life changing when I got my lab, Baxter. I instantly fell in love! Not even two years later, I looked to rescue another dog. Daisy came along as a rehome and again, I had no idea how much more my love for dogs would grow. Baxter and Daisy loves other dogs. We have a huge yard that they truly enjoy and the neighborhood pups also love. I’ve watched other people’s dogs and have had other family members’ dogs for weeks at a time. Your pup(s) will have a great time with us! They will be treated as family! Currently I work from home and am available for daily long walks, but I do have a yard for those pets with less mobility. If there are any additional tasks needed for the care of the pet, I will ensure they receive it. I treat my pups as family, and would do the same for any pets I will watch. They will lots of love and pets. I try to learn their personality and make them feel at home as soon as possible, allowing them access to all parts of my home.
“Crystal has been wonderful for daily walks with Rooster. She follows Rooster’s routine and sends the cutest reports cards after her visits. Rooster is always excited to see her!”
“Laci is so sweet and caring! Our dog Kona took to her right away and really loved her. We really appreciated her dog walking services and will definitely be requesting Laci again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and family for many years now, making me accustomed to all types. I lived with a cat for 3 years so I’m very accustomed to the routine of feeding, stimulating, and cleaning after a cat. My job is wfh, so I’d be flexible to keep your pet(s) company! I have a wfh job so my availability is very flexible. I’m also living solo so I’d also be flexible to take care of your pet(s) at my own home if need be. The way I care for pets are uniquely dependent on the routine that pet owners have already implemented with their pets. I like to respectfully stick to that routine as it’s something that the pets are already accustomed to.
“Jessie did a great job checking up on Nero. We just returned to the office and he’s getting used to a new schedule and a new climate. She remembered his quirks and was very attuned to his needs and moods. I felt really confident he was in good hands! I would absolutely hire Jessie again in the future :)”
“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
“Christy was able to take care of our dog Cooper with late notice. It was our first time having someone take care of our dog while we were on a day trip. Christy communicated with us throughout the day and sent pictures. She really seems to be a caring person. She was very responsive to our dogs needs. We would absolutely callI on her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since before I could walk — and after 17 years with our beloved Bagel, our home still feels made for them. Our family genuinely misses having a dog around, which is exactly why we started boarding: we want that energy back in our house. We regularly sit for family, friends, and neighborhood dogs, and our three boys are natural animal lovers who know how to read a dog's mood and give them space or affection accordingly. We have a yard the dogs love, and we're happy to take your pup on walks too. Beyond dogs, I've cared for iguanas, bunnies, and chinchillas over the years — so I'm comfortable with animals in general and take their care seriously. Your dog won't be a transaction here. They'll just be part of the family for a few days. Pet care fits naturally into our routine because someone is almost always home. I work remotely and can be around whenever needed, and my wife is home throughout the day. We're a busy, active family — weekends especially involve youth sports — but we're always close by and happy to be home as much as your dog needs. Your dog won't spend long stretches alone here. That's just not how our house works. When your dog stays with us, they're treated like a member of the household — not a guest in a crate. They'll have full access to our home and backyard, get walks, and have three boys who will absolutely not leave them alone (in the best way). We stick to whatever feeding schedule and dietary needs you set, and we'll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your pup is doing. We ask that you share anything we should know upfront — quirks, triggers, preferences — so we can make sure your dog is comfortable from day one.
“Kelly is a fantastic walker and our Ducky has been extremely happy and satisfied with each walk! Kelly is very detailed and will give updates on what Ducky did and where he went after every walk”
“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.”
“Omar is always punctual, responsible, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. He makes sure my dog gets plenty of exercise and is well cared for during their walks. I truly appreciate his dedication and the peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands. I highly recommend him!”

Alexandra and Eve did a great job with my pups! I had to work a few very long days and didn't want to leave the boys alone for 14+ hours! They came and walked them in the morning and walked and fed them in the evening! They sent a lot of pictures which brought some joy to my day at work and let me know they were taken care of! It was also nice that they were freshly walked when I got home so I could relax with them on the couch instead of rush off to make sure they were walked. It definitely relieved a lot of stress for me and them! 100% worth it, 100% would recommend and 100% hope to work with them in the future!
Leila was great! I booked her last minute and unfortunately the app had the wrong address for me. Leila was understanding and still showed up to the correct address and did the full walk (which I did not expect her to as the address situation was not her fault). Naya seemed to have a great time and I will definitely be booking her again when the need arises. Thank you Leila!
Emma did a fantastic job with our dog. Our pup was not feeing well the morning before the scheduled walk and Emma was willing to do an extra check in before to make sure he was ok. She also gave really good updates and plenty of photos. Overall really impressed, and will be requesting for walks again
Zoe and Alec are great!! They were able to work around our tight schedule with ease! Zoe took Fig on a nice long walk and hung out with him inside and made sure he was comfy with sw treats and his favorite show before heading out! Will definitely be asking for their help in the future!

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 Fort Myer. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
