About: As a devoted dog mom to my 12.5-year-old Maltipoo, Theodore, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Having cared for Theodore throughout every stage of his life, I have firsthand experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they may need as they age. I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll treat your pet with the same kindness, care, and attention I give my own! Whether you need someone for regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra companionship while you're away, I'd love to help! Send me a message so we can chat about your pet's needs and how I can give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. While I work full time during the week, I make time in my schedule to provide loving, reliable care for your furry family members! I'm available for weekend boarding, as well as dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week before or after work. Depending on your location, I may also be able to do visits during my lunch break. My own dog, Theodore, is free to roam the living room while I'm at work rather than being confined to a crate - your dog can do the same if you want. I also have an indoor pet camera that allows me to check in on him throughout the day, giving me extra peace of mind when I'm away. I live in a one bedroom apartment, there isn't a fence but there is an onsite dog park. I don't have children, so my home is generally quiet and free from the noise and activity of a busy household, making it especially welcoming for pets who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, including senior dogs. I care for pets by making sure they get regular walks, meals on their usual schedule, fresh water every day, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of cuddles and love (if they enjoy them!). I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routines, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have a 6-year-old Goldendoodle who I’ve been caring for since she was just 8 weeks old! Through the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience with the day-to-day responsibilities of pet care, from walks and playtime to making sure she feels happy, safe, and loved. I also help care for my parents’ dogs whenever I can and have experience looking after friends’ pets as well. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work in the hospital, so my schedule varies from week to week, but I typically only work about three shifts per week! This gives me flexibility on my days off to spend time with your furry friends. I’m happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, respect your instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by a variety of animals—dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, and even horses—so caring for them is second nature to me. I’m comfortable looking after multiple pets at once, and I truly believe every animal is awesome in its own way! Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious kitty, or anything in between, I love spending quality time with every pet I meet. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I don’t just “let them out” for a quick break. I’m here to make sure they get some exercise, fun, and lots of attention while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply giving them some affection, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. With flexible scheduling, reliability, and a commitment to ensuring your pets are happy and well-cared for, you can rest assured knowing I’m always ready to lend a helping hand (or paw!). Let me take care of your furry, feathery, or scaly friend while you’re at work or on vacation—I’m excited to meet them! I have a flexible schedule and am available everyday, morning, daytime, and in the evening. Pet sitting, boarding and walking fits seamlessly into my schedule. Your pets will be treated like my own while staying with me and while being cared for by me. Rest assured your fur baby will be like family.

About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and cats to K9s and a 17-year-old dog who needed multiple medications and strict schedule. I also have 5 pets of my own (2 dogs and 3 cats), so I’m used to lots of love, different routines, and pets with all kinds of needs! Fun fact, I volunteer for rescue in puerto rico flying animals back to the states when I travel there. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule during the semester. However, when I’m home on school breaks, I’m completely available and would love to spend my time caring for pets! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’m respectful of your space, careful with instructions, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and family friends, including paid dog walking and pet sitting. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m committed to providing dependable care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I’ll treat your pet with the same attention and care they receive at home. Besides my job, pet care fits well into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide reliable and flexible care. I make time for what they need and I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive meals on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, pets securely leashed, and treat every home and pet with respect and care.

About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

We decided to try Rover in our neighborhood for the first time to help Astro get some extra exercise, and we’re so glad we found Shiva! She walked him daily over the past two weeks and was always punctual, reliable, and great about sending updates and plenty of photos, even during his one-hour walks. It gave us peace of mind knowing Astro was in good hands. Highly recommend Shiva!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Great Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Great Falls is $33 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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.

As of October 2026, there are 16,062 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Great Falls. 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 Great Falls. 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 , 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 Great Falls 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Great Falls. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
