About: Ive had pet dogs since the age of 10. I love all types of aniamls! I would love to take care of your animal and have you and your pets’ needs met!

About: What sets me apart is my personal experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. I’ve raised and cared for five dogs throughout my life, including Labs, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, and German Shepherds, so I understand the very different needs of small, medium, and large breeds. I trained my own puppy from 8 weeks old, teaching her a wide range of tricks and good behaviors, which gave me a lot of patience and training skills. I’m also comfortable handling more challenging dogs as one of my Chihuahuas was very aggressive, which taught me how to read body language and safely manage reactive pets, from a young age. In addition, I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve helped raise multiple dogs into old age, including a German Shepherd that lived until 15, and a Labrador Retriever that lived until 17! I understand the gentleness, and care older dogs require. Overall, I bring a lot of confidence to this role because of my genuine understanding of dogs at every stage of life. I just finished my undergrad and plan to be home all summer. I begin graduate school in the fall online and will practically have no big everyday commitments. I have a few vacations planned but besides that I am an open book willing to work anytime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. (Dogs know their schedule!) I follow all instructions closely and carefully for any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I have cared for dogs that experience extreme distress from their owner being gone and I have developed my skills to better care for dogs experiencing this. I’m also very attentive to behavior and health, so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect my client’s home by secure and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make both the pet, and the owner feel completely at ease, just as I would want if my dog was being watched.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, including kittens and newborns. I have assisted with multiple cat births and cared for newborn kittens, including situations where the mother was unable to care for them. I am comfortable supporting basic care needs under clear instructions, such as helping administer medications when guidance is provided. I’m very attentive, patient, and always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care in the mornings, evenings, and full days on certain days of the week. I am fully available on Thursdays and Sundays, and I also have availability in the mornings on Mondays and Fridays, as well as evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I always make sure pets are cared for on time and according to their routine. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I keep a clean and calm space, ensure fresh water, proper feeding, and provide attention and playtime based on each pet’s needs and personality. I am very attentive to details and always prioritize the safety, well-being, and comfort of every pet.
“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

About: I have had dogs since I was a toddler and have grown up caring for them. I currently have one of my own (8yrs) who is my entire world.

“Courtney went the extra mile by coming to meet us the day before our booking, which we truly appreciated. She’s not only friendly and punctual but also has a deep knowledge of dogs that immediately put us at ease. Our high-energy Australian Shepherd, Millie, was thrilled to meet her, and Courtney handled her enthusiasm with ease. Today, Courtney came by to walk Millie while we were out, and once again, she was punctual and professional. She left us thorough notes and sent a few photos, so we knew Millie was in excellent hands. We’ve already arranged for Courtney to stay with Millie for a few days while we’re away, confident that she will be well cared for.”

Alexandra was incredible and our puppy loved her! Not only was she an amazing care taker for our baby while we were on vacation but she was also 100% reliable. If you are looking for someone who has a deep connection with animals and who you can rely on, I would definitely recommend you go with Alexandra!
Nia has been absolutely wonderful with Stark! She is always timely, communicative, and makes me feel completely at ease when I’m away. I really appreciate how she sends regular updates and pictures, it’s clear she genuinely cares. She’s incredibly sweet and attentive, and Stark loves her. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Front Royal on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 .

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 Front Royal. 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 Front Royal.

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 Front Royal. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
