About: Hi, I’m Sheila! My experience caring for my own dog, Max, taught me how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands. Dogs are family, and I’ll treat yours with patience, kindness, and care. I offer walks and drop in visits to give your dog companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and attention while you’re away. I’ll follow your care instructions and respect your home and your dog’s routine. You can expect photo updates and clear communication so you know how your pup is doing. I’d love to meet you both and learn what makes your dog feel comfortable and happy! I run my own business and manage my schedule, which allows me to plan pet care visits around my appointments. I’m available for scheduled walks and drop in visits, giving your pup time for potty breaks, play, and companionship. I only accept bookings I can give my full attention to, so your dog receives dependable, thoughtful care. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding routines, leash requirements, and any specific needs or triggers. During visits, I’ll keep doors and gates secure, use a leash on walks, and stay attentive to your dog’s surroundings. I’ll respect your home, send updates, and contact you promptly if anything seems unusual. Before our first visit, I’ll confirm emergency contacts and your veterinarian’s information.
About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up with dogs since I was 7 and having seven dogs throughout my family's life. My experience extends beyond dogs to cats, horses, cows, chickens, and pigs, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. I have most recently been trusted with helping my dear friend potty train and babysit her adorable 3 month old daushaund. I currently have a 5-year-old pit-bull dog, which has given me even more hands-on experience caring for and understanding dogs. We love to take long walks and visit the dog park. Due to some medical needs that my pup has, I have experience providing medications and applying skin care as needed. I know that every pet has their own needs and routine and I want every animal to feel safe and loved. I currently work 3, 12-hour shifts a week which allows for plenty of time to care for pups on my four days off from working. I make sure pets have a secure environment, use appropriate leashes and toys, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure safe/proper care.
“Argelia had a great first walk with my dog. I appreciate her patience while we sorted out access to the unit. She provided a thorough update/report following the dog walk with lots of cute photos. You can certainly tell that she takes her job seriously and cares.”
About: My experience started when i was about 14. I started watching family dogs and cats for money and it slowly became a passion. I work now at a dog resort which has daycare, boarding, bathing, and is now adding training. There I do bathing services, doggy daycare, feeding, administering medication. And that includes Cats as well. My aunt fosters cats/kittens and I have raised 2 dogs starting at month 3 as my grandpa adopted puppies. I helped and have experience with both little puppies and kittens. I love animals so much. I am super happy with this passion and hope to experience and learn more in the future. And am excited to work with you! I work currently at a Resort facility who works with both cats and dogs. And our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. I work day to day in that facility walking, feeding, medicating, and so much more. I have learned so much about animal behavior and have a pet of my own at home who I take care of day to day. So i work with pets daily. It will depend on what service you are looking for. I can do a basic bath for your pet in your home. (No nail trimming, and you would provide the bath and products you would like used.) For Boarding, either coming to me or me coming to you I can provide playtimes, long/short walks, administration of medication, litter-box cleaning, and more. For walks I can do walks in the neighborhood or take your dog to a dog park! And so much more! I am open to suggestions and ideas of what I can add/offer!
“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid and have experience owning dogs of my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, and treating every pet like a member of my family. I stay home all day, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I can give them lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have an unfenced yard and currently don’t have a dog of my own, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Dogs are welcome to relax on the couch and feel at home.
About: I have five years of dog-sitting experience. I have worked with dogs of all sizes with different medical and dietary needs. I am also a dog walker for dogs up to 100 pounds. In my home, I have been responsible for bathing, grooming, and caring for my personal pets for over 13 years. I work part-time in the mornings, so I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to walk and watch your pets. I am also available on weekends for whenever you need a weekend getaway! I will keep constant attention on your pet and follow your specific instructions on your pets needs regarding feeding, diet, medication, exercise, behavior, and training.
About: I’m a genuine and dependable animal lover trustworthy and responsible. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines, and I’m especially patient with pets who need extra attention, including young, energetic, shy, or senior pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure their owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re in my care. I am available daily for pet sitting and boarding and dog walking! I love being around animals and will provide a beautiful experience that's safe and trustworthy! I have a fenced yard and live in a pet friendly subdivision with several trails that your pet may enjoy! I love animals and I am taking this as a full time job and following my passion for animal care.
“Five stars, two paws up, one very suspicious smell — would book again. My walker Daniel took me on the BEST adventure today. 1.7 miles through the neighborhood and he let me set the pace, which is important because I am a hound and I have LEADS to follow. I found at least four excellent smells, peed three times to let everyone know I was there (territory doesn't mark itself, people), and handled my business like the lady I am. Then — THEN — I found something absolutely magnificent on the ground and rubbed my whole face in it. Daniel tried to redirect me but I was committed. No regrets. He was patient, attentive, and clearly knows his way around a leash. The fall leaves were crunchy, the air was crisp, and I got 45 glorious minutes of sniffing overload. I came home tired, happy, and smelling like an adventure. 10/10 would drag him toward mysterious smells again.”
About: I have experience walking dogs, caring for cats, and boarding during summer season. I have a love for animals and their care, and would look forward to taking care of your animals! I would be available on Monday through Friday in morning or afternoon to walk, check in, and care for pets. I am looking to make money while on the job search. I care for animals and others homes with great respect and understand the responsibility that is entrusted to me to care for the needs of others.
About: My daughters complain that their fur babies are spoiled when I return them. (And, they keep asking me to take care of them despite this. ) I prefer it over the Day job, And find the company of pets so rewarding. If I could make pet care a full time job, I would. I welcome them in like guests. But, of course follow instructions given pertaining to their care. I have a soft crate and raised dog beds with covers that can be washed each visit.
About: I would be a good sitter because not only do I love animals, but I’ve had and taken care of so many. I would love yours. I currently work full-time at an elementary school. But I know my daughter and I would love to come and play with anyone’s pups or kitties after a long work week. I have a nice sized fenced in yard, and a good sized, safe basement that I am renting at the moment. Good space for a pet
“We had a wonderful meet-and-greet and neighborhood walk today, and this walker is absolutely lovely! They naturally they handled commands with my high energy pup. If you need someone who is both highly capable and genuinely caring to look after your pup, I cannot recommend them enough!”
About: Hi, I'm Mia! I share my home with three dogs and three cats, all rescues, and I foster dogs through local rescue centers. I believe every dog and cat deserves loving care, and that's what I bring to every walk and visit. I'm comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I'm extra patient with shy, anxious, or newly adopted pets. I'm especially gentle with cats, letting them set the pace so they feel safe I mostly work from home and available for weekdays and weekends. I make sure doggies have plenty of both physical and mental exercises on daily basis I live in a quiet area in Columbia with lots of nature trails. Dogs sleep in crates at night and loose at home during the day. My house is puppy proof with surveillance camera throughout the house.
“It’s a great comfort in knowing that Amanda actually cares about my baby girl, Daisy. I don’t have to worry while I’m at walk. Daisy enjoys her walks with Amanda, and it gives Daisy a chance to stretch her legs.”
“Rachel was amazing with our Bingka! She took our girl out in the snow/rain and we can tell Bingka loved it! Definitely recommend booking with her, she treats your pets as if they’re her own :)”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Haymarket is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 12,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Haymarket. 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 Haymarket. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Haymarket 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 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 Haymarket. 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
