“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with our 2-year old golden retriever. She is reliable, friendly, and genuinely loves animals. Lucy arrived on time, provided great communication and updates, and made sure our dog got plenty of exercise! The regular photo updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
“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.”

“Bryn was fantastic! Thorough and kind and curious about my dog Flynn. She made everyone involved feel so at ease as I began to navigate having to travel more. She asked all the right questions and kept me in the loop the entire time I was away. It’s beautifully obvious she adores animals and wants what’s best for all of them. I will absolutely be booking again.”
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.
“Christopher has a knack for dogs! He had my eating out of his hands in no time and they can be rough. He was prompt to walk the dogs, has them out for the right amount of time and gave them treats at my request when he was done. 123, it easy and efficient. He is even good with people! He seems to love his job.”
“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: 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.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I am experienced in following feeding schedules, daily routines, walks, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well being. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, walks, and check ins. I prioritize reliability and clear communication so pet parents always know their pets are in good hands. I treat every home and pet with care and respect. I follow instructions closely, keep pets in secure environments, double check doors, leashes, and gates, and ensure clean, safe spaces at all times. I communicate updates regularly so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Our dog LOVES Amanda’s visits. She is professional but friendly and genuinely cares about his welfare! We have had to reschedule our walks a few times and Amanda has always been so flexible about it. We are lucky to have her!”
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.
About: I have been in the animal care business professionally for 8 years where I helped manage a local farm and goat yoga and dog sat for neighbors, friends, and family. I love animals and have always been around them growing up from horses to dogs. I promise to treat you pet with the love and compassion I would my own :) I am a current college student and being a sitter for Rover is my only employment at the moment. Outside of classes I have a lot of down time and look forward to helping care for your pet! I have a lot of experience with animals, especially dogs, so I am well versed in the regimen and compassion it takes to look after a pet. I am comfortable with overseeing/initiating playtime, crating, preparing meals, walking any size or breed of dog. Additionally I promise to show your pets the love I would my own!
“I’m so happy we found Lena to walk our pup! She’s great at communicating and I really appreciate that she uses the Rover card to map out the walk and send a daily picture. As a first time Rover user, and a new dog owner, I was nervous about finding a good fit for our dog but Lena has been fantastic and I would highly recommend her!”

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 .

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.

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
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.
