About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.
“13SEP2026: Christi did an outstanding job of walking/feeding my 11 1/2 old female jack russell mix dog, Emmy, for five days. She kept me informed daily after each morning and late afternoon walk including written descriptions of her walks/feeding and photos of Emmy. She is highly dependable and met all my expectations for Emmy's care while I was on an out of state trip. I strongly recommend you hire her for your pet's care. Jeff Johnson, Gainesville, VA”
“Argelia has been great. She’s been able to give me peace of mind now that I’m back to work full time and the babes aren’t used to being alone. I love getting the pictures from the Rover card and her updates are always very detailed.”
“You can really tell she genuinely loves dogs! She’s so sweet and caring with our dog, always keeps us updated, and makes us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. Frankie is always happy to see her 😊 Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs since I was a kid. I have fostered numerous puppies/dogs and ended up with 2 foster fails of my own!! I have trained, bathed, and administered medication. There isn't a breed I haven't come in contact with! I currently work full time out of my home. I am always available Monday-Thursday after 4:30; Friday after 1:00 and anytime on Saturday & Sundays. I am able to visit your fur baby for walks, let out to potty, or just hang out with them for a little extra loving. I work full time but can do drop ins morning and evenings and all day weekends. Schedules are flexible. Just let me know your pets needs. I do have two cats that love dogs. But if your dog isn’t cat friendly, I have options to deal with that situation if it arises.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from a young age. I have experience with pitbulls, chihuahuas, sharpei's, st. bernard's, weiner dogs, cane corso's, bulldogs, and golden retrievers. Growing up i had 4 dogs and fostered many more! I'm a 19 year old college student taking summer classes online and looking for some part time work. I do not have any other job and all my classes are online so i basically have availability whenever! Whatever routine you have set for your pet works perfectly fine for me! I was a nanny for a few years so i can keep a good eye on your pet if need be haha
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes; ranging from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Raised my 3 month pup till he was 16 so I can handle a dog at any phase. Currently I have no other job which means my schedule is quite flexible. My availability is Monday-Friday from 10am-10pm. New clients have to request a day before because setting up takes time. Clients already on file get 12hrs or less, depending on how booked I am. I would make sure a dog approaching is friendly and if yours is not I’d go another route to avoid complications. When I walk my dogs I make sure they poop before heading home so the same would go for yours. I would not try cutting the 1hr walk short.
About: I will make any animal feel loved and at home when you can't be there. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. I am recent college graduate with a hybrid work so I have lots of flexibility. I am happy to help you and your animal find the care you need and deserve. My schedule is fairly open with my biggest commitment being my at hybrid work. I get up early every day and am a night owl- able to take your animals out, make sure they're fed, and of course provide them with the needed attention. I am most available after mid morning during week days, but we can work together to figure out what your animals needs! Weekends are very open! I am here to provide some, care, and attention to your pals! I am a gentle caretaker who doesn't believe in physical discipline, and only positive reinforcement.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and can confidently handle leashed walks, basic recall, and calm behavior management. Reliable, punctual, and happy to provide updates and follow owner instructions. I’m currently working part-time, so I can fit dog walks into my schedule easily between shifts. I will communicate openly too with owners. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, let dogs out as directed, refresh water, clean up any messes, bring in mail/packages if requested, and ensure doors and gates are secured when I leave.
“Karen was such a charming lady and she took 10 seconds to get Howl to adore her. Kudos to Karen to travel from Triangle to Warrenton just because their location was not updated on the Rover app. Thanks Karen for caring for Howl.”
About: Count on me. I have cared for my two dogs and two cats over the years. Pets seem to easily like me, and I like them. I’m easy going, but firm when needed. When you’re traveling, your dear pets need extra love and attention, and I’ll be there for them. My full-time role in marketing dissolved, so I currently have great schedule flexibility. I do have a dog of my own to care for—my lovebug Bravo. I will come to your home to care for your pet. I will spend time getting to know them and addressing their needs and personality. Just let me know any special concerns and what works best with your special four-legged family member.
About: Even though I don’t have professional pet experience I own 2 dogs who I walk frequently and have pet sitter for dogs in the past. I also am a very responsible and dependable person and will make sure your dog or dogs are safe and happy. I walk my dogs twice a day and I feed them in the early morning and nighttime. I also play with my dogs throughout the day and give them enrichment toys or things to play with when we leave to go out so they are happy. I am not a pet sitter. I am not a pet sitter.

About: Apart from having two dogs when I was a child, I also started a dog walking business in my neighborhood where I had long term customers. Now, I take care of my uncles dog whenever he needs assistance like taking him out on walks and feeding him. Now; I have two cats that i’ve been taking care of (with my family of course) for 3 years now. At the moment, i’m not working so that gives me plenty of time to come spend time with your pets! I am a very flexible person, so feel free to reach out and ask. I’ll play with the animal, give them all they deserve, or if they want, just have a relaxing time hanging out with them. Of course this would include taking dogs out on walks and not just giving them time to use the bathroom, but also giving them time outside to enjoy themselves.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11! I've taken care of various animals of all different sizes, breeds and ages, including, dogs, cats, small critters (guinea pigs, hamsters), and even horses! I understand it is important to get the best care possible for your family member and it takes a lot of trust! I am currently a graduate student at George Mason, so I have lots of weekend availability to play with your pet while you run errands or go on a quick weekend trip! Safety is of utmost importance to me and I will always ensure that your pet is as safe as possible. I have experience with crates for both cats and dogs if needed and will always be sure to check in about any safety concerns regarding your pet.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds. I own a Rottweiler, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of structure, consistency, and calm leadership. I’m patient and attentive with puppies who are still learning routines and boundaries, and I take a gentle, observant approach with senior dogs who may need extra care, slower pacing, or medication monitoring. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, prioritize safety, and treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and rest, and I’m able to provide consistent attention and supervision. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routines, dietary needs, and medical instructions carefully, whether in my home or the client’s. I ensure their space is secure, give plenty of attention and exercise, and communicate regularly with owners to build trust and peace of mind.

Alyssa, thank you so much for taking such great care of Nora. You are a true professional—punctual, reliable, and a complete pleasure to work with. I especially appreciate your patience and flexibility. As a rescue, Nora can be quite anxious around new people, but she clearly grew comfortable with you and did wonderfully. I couldn't be happier with your dog walking services. I will definitely reach out again in the future and will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a great dog walker. Best, Patricia S.

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 Haymarket. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
