About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, both as a pet owner and professionally. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My professional experience includes dog training and bathing/grooming, and I am also accredited through PetSmart while currently working toward becoming a certified groomer. This ongoing training continues to strengthen my understanding of canine behavior, body language, handling techniques, and how to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra exercise and attention, or another type of care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their individual personality and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time as a professional dog bather, typically 15–20 hours per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other services throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Because my work is already centered around caring for dogs, I’m comfortable working with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for your dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routines as consistent as possible and treating your space with the same respect I would my own. For walks, I’ll stay in familiar local areas and use safe, vetted trails that are appropriate for your dog’s needs and energy level. I have professional experience handling and caring for dogs, including bathing and training, so I’m comfortable paying attention to body language, behavior, and potential safety concerns. I’ll always follow your instructions, communicate with you throughout the stay, and make sure your pet receives attentive, dependable care while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets primarily the most experience with dogs since I was 13 years old. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds from puppies to senior dogs. Additionally I’ve also fostered and cared for cats when friends and neighbors have been away on vacation. I’ve been lucky to also own two dogs of my own, most recently Puddles. I ensure that all pets feel safe and earn their trust through regular walks, consistent schedules for meal times, snacks and tons of playtime as well. I try to stay as active with pets as possible. Furthermore I have experience caring for senior dogs that need medications and have alternative potty methods. I am happy to provide excellent care for you and your pet at any age. I currently am a freelancer looking to change direction in my career so I have flexible availability and can be available for short notices at the moment. I can provide pet care from morning til evenings. I have experience with crate training but with Puddles I took him out on walks 2-3x a day and also let him have yard access with a secured fence 2-3x a day. Each client is different so as long as I have some basic directions I usually can adjust to each pet’s needs. I know building trust and safety for our pets is super important.

About: I have been a dedicated dog and cat owner for over 16 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience in pet care. I am comfortable pet sitting for others and ensuring animals feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. I have experience administering oral medications and am confident working with dogs of all ages, including those who are shy or nervous. I am currently home full time allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that lets me accommodate feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins as needed. I prioritize each pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a spacious apartment with pets of my own. My friendly pup has no issues sharing his space. I can handle crate needs. I also have a lot of areas near me where your pets can enjoy nice walks.

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.
