“Christopher is clearly a dog person and it shows. My dog couldn’t be more excited to see him. He showed up rain or shine and went above and beyond for exercise and play time with him while I was away. Would definitely recommend.”
“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!”
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.
“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.”
“Becky and Christian are awesome dog walkers!!! I have been having a lupus flare and couldn't walk my dog myself, so they took over for me! They are punctual, kind and my dog loves them! I will absolutely be using them in the future”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and detail‑oriented professional, I provide safe, structured, and affectionate care for every pup I host. I’m committed to keeping your dog’s routine consistent, their environment calm, and you fully updated with photos and check‑ins. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet snuggles, or playtime, I tailor each stay to their needs so you can travel with total peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I structure my days around consistency and reliability. I make time each morning and evening for feeding, play, and check‑ins, and I keep my schedule flexible enough to accommodate drop‑ins, medication routines, or extra attention for pets who need it. I prioritize maintaining each animal’s normal rhythm — whether that means early breakfasts, midday enrichment, or quiet evening companionship — so their routine stays steady even while you’re away. Clear communication is part of my daily flow as well, so you can expect regular updates and photos throughout each visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment that feels safe and familiar for them. I follow your instructions exactly — from feeding and litter box routines to preferred play styles and comfort needs — and I take time to build trust at your pet’s pace. I’m attentive to small details like keeping spaces tidy, refreshing water frequently, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Throughout each visit, I send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re receiving thoughtful, reliable care.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I got my first dog around age 11 and have had multiple dogs over the years, along with a ferret, hamster, and fish. I’ve also helped care for family members’ dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Animals have always been a big part of my life and continue to be. I truly enjoy being around them and caring for them, and I always joke that one day I’m going to end up with my own little farm because I want every animal I see! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or whatever a pet may need. My daily routine is pretty laid back, so I have the time and flexibility to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I would always talk with the pet parent beforehand about their normal routine, what they’re allowed or not allowed to do, feeding instructions, walks, and any other specific needs. I’m big on following the owner’s instructions, keeping their pet safe and comfortable, and being respectful of their home and belongings.
About: I became a cat mom in 2019, and have since spent time volunteering at a cat shelter and a farm (taking care of kittens, piglets and goats!). I’ve always been drawn to animals and will take great care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule, and generally available both weekends and weekdays for a set period of time. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs! My preference is to take of pets in my client’s home, since I have a cat that does not get along easily with other animals. Depending on the duration of the pet-sitting, I can do day trips or overnights.
“Max was so great with Wicket! I really appreciate her taking the time to get to know him, and make sure he got a good play session in the middle of the day, especially since he’s so used to having someone home with him all day.”
About: I grew up with the most incredible yorkie-poo for 16 years, and I’ve been filling the void by following way too many dog Instagram accounts. I really miss having a dog around, so your dog will get a lot of attention and be in great hands. I’ve looked after pit bulls, a Shar-Pei, doodles, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and mixed breeds of all sizes. Whether your dog is big, little, high-energy, anxious, stubborn, or just wants a buddy nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I may find it hard to get work done because I’ll probably spend too much time hanging out with your dog. And if they’re into people food, I’ll respectfully disappoint them unless you tell me otherwise. I’m in a flexible stretch right now, doing job-search work, contract work, and projects mostly from home. That means I can usually build my day around walks, drop-ins, or hanging with your pet. I’m best for weekday daytime care, evenings, and some weekends with a little notice. If I have an interview, work call, or trip coming up, I’ll be upfront before booking so there are no surprises. I’m pretty careful and communicative by default. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep dogs leashed unless you explicitly say otherwise, double-check doors/gates, and send updates so you know your pet is good. I’m not going to freestyle with food, treats, medications, dog parks, or anything that could create a weird situation. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine.

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.

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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
