About: I have been caring for pets since I was a teenager. I currently own a small farm and have experience caring for all types of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and sheep. I am happy to care for any size dog, and love spending time with old dogs or puppies. I have personally and professionally cared for cats and dogs for the past 25 years, and have always had a cat or dog in my house, of all age ranges. I also have experience in cat and dog rescues, and am used to working with scared or anxious animals if necessary. I can walk, feed, play, and care for animal you have in your home, throughout the day as needed.

About: I've taken care of pups since my daughter brought home our first baby, Cookie. We trained her to give her paw, sit, lay, and to kiss at "kiss" command. It's the cutest thing ever. She has been the Queen of the house ever since and then came along, Cinamon which is Cookie's daughter. They are best friends! Cookie had pups a while ago and we held her paw during birth and cared for her babies until they left us to our family members. Cookie is now considered a Senior but I always find ways to accommodate her needs so she can keep being the queen! We take constant walks around our neighborhood and also hang out in the big backyard. I'm currently not working; therefore, I have plenty of times to board and do drop in visits. I leave out occasionally to do grocery shopping, doctor appointments, and/or church services. I do not have a fenced yard but we do have secured long leashes to the soil which makes them feel like they are freely roaming around. We prefer to crate overnight but if your pup cannot do training for special reasons, we can accommodate. We currently have two small pups, a Yorkie and her daughter. They can be timid at first and will bark until they come down and get over the first couple minutes. We can put our babies away in separate rooms if needed be.

About: Trusted Veteran • Farm-Raised Animal Lover • Dependable Dog Walker Growing up on a farm in North Dakota gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. As a dog owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My military background strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to following instructions, ensuring every pet receives safe, dependable care. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I recently retired from the Army, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I will provide regular updates with photos, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.

About: I lived with and took care of my sisters 2 dogs (1 husky puppy and 1 adult husky/german mix). I then moved to Austin and wanted to continue having dogs in my life, so started up a Rover account! I continued sitting through Rover during my two years as a Masters Student at Georgetown, and am glad to be able to continue sitting after graduating! I just graduated from my Masters program, so am very available as I continue to job hunt! My weekends are very busy due to weddings out-of-state, but during the weekdays I am available! Before confirming on a booking I go through an extensive list of questions regarding anything from leash reactiveness and appropriate ways to approach your dog, to walk routes that are familiar and comfortable for your dog. I always want to ensure my sitting periods are as stress-free and “normal” as I can make them.

About: I will follow your pup's usual schedule for walks, meals, and bedtime snuggles to make their stay feel just like home. I have a little experience with training my own puppy. I work shifts so I'm off certain days of the week and get every other Friday-Sunday off. My schedule is very predictable and I keep a consistent routine with my fur baby. I also have family members living with me that likes to help out with pet care. Fenced yard is currently underway so once that's established, the fur babies can run around freely! I have a mini poodle mix to keep company and she's very friendly towards other dogs and people.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fort Washington is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 14,566 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fort Washington. 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 Fort Washington. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fort Washington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Washington. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
