“Simba completed his first week of walking with Tim, and he is loving it! Tim is very friendly and always on time. He gives us regular and plenty of updates about the walk- the route, potty/pee-pee breaks, and of course many photos of our fuzzball on the walk <3 Simba is very comfortable walking with Tim, and I can tell that he looks forward to his walks with him already.”
“Bella is so great with our dog, Mimi! She’s communicative with us and patient with our elderly dog. We love working with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a dogsitter!”
“Hired Emily to walk my dog for the week and she was great. She was very communicative and timely. My dog can be very overwhelming with how excited she gets but Emily handled her with no issues. She followed all the instructions/requests I made. She got along great with my dog and I will definitely be using Emily again if I ever need walks or visits for my dog!”
“Nico has been great. Tessa is so happy when he comes to the door to get her, and she's tired when she gets home. That's always a good sign. He gives her the exercise she needs and he obviously knows and loves dogs. I highly recommend Nico.”
About: Hello! I am 29 years old and I work full time from home. I grew up with a Havanese for 16 years who went on 3 walks a day, was on a strict diet and took daily supplements, and was spoiled! Just wanted to pass on what I love doing to help those who may be working, traveling, or just simply busy! I do have a male yorkiepoo who’s 10lb and fully trained, neutered, and great with dogs of all sizes! We also added his little brother as an adoption to the family, 6lbs. I am very flexible and know each and every animal is different and has its own needs. I am open to discussion on rates and I’m more than happy to come to you or host in my own home. I think I would be a great fit based on my past experience watching dogs which I can provide references for! Hope to hear from you soon! Since I already have a dog and do everyday things with him, adding another one into the mix would be great! Daily walks, yard time, dog park, etc I have a fully fenced in yard and am local to several dog parks! I am home the whole time so no need to worry about your little one.
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I also previously worked at a pet hospital, where I helped care for animals and became comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I’m attentive to the little things and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, meals, and companionship without rushing. I genuinely love animals and enjoy having them around, so caring for pets feels like something I naturally make time for every day. It really depends on the pet and the service. I like to stick to their normal routine as much as I can and give them whatever they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just someone around. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to give them attention and make sure they’re comfortable.
“Casey clearly loves animals… She is communicative, reliable, responsible and experienced. I should also mention she’s very punctual and accommodating. My dogs should affection towards her when they met her.”
About: A long time animal lover, I have 20 plus years of experience with dogs! I specialize in senior dogs. I can administer medication and am first aid certified! I am currently looking for long term employment, so my schedule during the week is very open. I care for my father every other Saturday. I have a fenced in yard, and a big comfy dog-friendly couch to lounge on! I have all the equipment necessary, including a crate that is sized for large dogs.
“Reached out to Amy as I had recently gotten a puppy and then got RTO’ed. Daisy is/was a bad leash puller and Amy was very patient. By the end of the first week I was actually able to walk Daisy around the neighborhood without being totally stressed and frazzled at the end. Thank you Amy!!!”
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs at my family home. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I worked for two years as a daycare attendant at a doggy daycare, where I was responsible for supervising and caring for multiple dogs at once, leading daily walks, and maintaining a safe, structured, and fun environment. I’m comfortable working with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. Beyond basic care, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. You can feel confident that your dog will be in attentive and loving hands with me! I am currently a senior at Boston University. I have classes three out of seven days of the week. I am pretty flexible with my time, and have a car so I can get around quickly and easily. I can easily fit pet care into my weekly routine, and when I am out for class its only for an hour or two at a time. This allows me to commit to the necessary time to caring for your pet on a daily basis! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get regular bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also prioritize exercise, playtime, and companionship so they’re not left alone or bored. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior to make sure they feel secure and happy in their environment. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and stress-free experience where your pet feels right at home.
About: Loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. We all know how stressful it can be for your pet when your away. Why make it even more stressful by taking your pet away from their home where they feel safe? I have had pets all of my life and would be honored to care for yours. I have experience as a pet sitter and have volunteered at an animal shelter. Having all of my criminal clearances should give you a sense of security and comfort with having someone in your home. I have worked with elementary school age children for the past 6 years and am ready to take care of your four legged furry children now! I am available 7 days a week to walk your pet, water your plants, bring in the mail! I can pet sit overnight in your home too! I will treat you pet and your home as if it were my own. All of my criminal clearances are up to date , so you can have piece of mind while your away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Fort Washington is $33 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 a map of the walking route, 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 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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
