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: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.

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’ve been around dogs since I was about 10, so caring for them has always felt natural to me. Growing up, I helped walk, feed, and bathe the family and friends dogs, and over the years I’ve watched pets for relatives while they were on vacation, making sure they felt loved while their owners were away. Now I have two dogs of my own, Chloe and Remi, who I care for every single day. From feeding and playtime to just keeping them happy and comfortable, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work part-time about three days a week and I’m a college student, but I come home on weekends and during holidays, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pets. Even on the days I work, my shifts are usually early mornings for 4–5 hours, so I’m free for afternoon, evening, and nighttime care. My schedule can be flexible and I’m able to adjust as needed, so I’m happy to work around what your pet needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow their normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and respect, just like I want my own pets to be treated. My motto is “treat others how you want to be treated,” and I bring that same care and kindness to every animal I look after.

About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals. From a young age, I’ve felt a special connection with all creatures, big and small. This passion has driven me to not only understand their needs but to also dedicate myself to ensuring they receive the best possible care. Whether it’s through daily walks, providing enrichment activities, or simply offering a safe and loving environment, I’m committed to giving animals the attention and compassion they deserve. I believe that every animal, just like every person, has unique needs and a personality that should be nurtured. I’m here to make sure your furry, scaly, or feathered friends are in the best hands possible. I work from home and can provide services on a flexible schedule from day and/or night daycare, walks, potty breaks and training. I also have reliable transportation for pets. I have a fenced yard, large inside area and designed space for animal care. All animals have space to enjoy and feel safe and loved.

Brooke is definitely awesome, just amazingly great. We accidentally locked the door so she couldn’t enter to attend Akira but she waited the whole time till someone got back home to open the door without us having to ask her and did her thing with Akira. I greatly appreciate your dedication and above and beyond care for our puppy. Thank you so much

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fort Washington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fort Washington on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,705 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 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 Fort Washington.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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 Fort Washington. 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.
