“Giang helped my anxious pups feel at ease right away! She's clearly an animal lover and they warmed up quickly with her. She's also a fantastic communicator - very prompt and clear. Highly recommend and so grateful to have found her as someone trustworthy that both me and my pups can rely on.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for multiple family members’ pups. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and give them the same love, attention, walks, and cuddles I’d give theirs! I’m reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfy! I work a split shift and work from 645am-11am and have free time until 230 when I go back to work. I get off around 6pm and would be happy to help after work as well! Weekends I'm typically off and pretty flexible. :) When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll make sure to follow their usual routines and meet both their needs and your expectations. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, while keeping you updated along the way.
“It’s my first time with rover and Alison was super attentive! My building is incredibly hard to get to and get into, also my pup isn’t easy to deal with when putting on shoes for her walk but she did absolutely excellent with my Maple. Maple looks incredibly happy and absolutely loved Alison! Looking forward working with her more in the future! 100/10 would recommend!”
“Zosha did an excellent job! He was on time… even for the early morning walks. He walked Bella twice per day for 4 days. Bella was waiting at the door for him and was happy to see Zosha. He had good “command” of Bella and at the same time was playful and affectionate. I highly recommend Zosha and will contact him the next time we need a dog walker.”
“I was lucky to find Tasha, a new local dog walker in our town. She responds to messages quickly, is available for morning walks, friendly and, most importantly, punctual and reliable.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our Maltese who can be very shy with strangers. The two bonded right away! She was very good about communicating arrival times and was very reliable. Very happy to have found Elizabeth. We will be using her again for sure!”
About: I just love animals! I have worked for an animal advocacy organization and received ongoing education about the care of companion animals. I volunteered at Fairfax County Animal Shelter walking and showing dogs, and fostering dogs, cats, kittens, guinea pigs, rabbits and more. I know how to meet a pet where they need me to be, whether it's lots of snuggles or lots of personal space. I grew up in a house full of animals and I look forward to meeting you and your precious pet. I'm only in the office 2 days a week so I have good flexibility to take care of your treasured pet and look forward to meeting you both! I have a fenced in patio area for lounging outdoors and great walking paths with lots of things to sniff. I love playing fetch and teaching new tricks if you're up for it!
“Becca has been walking our dog for a few months and she is just fabulous. Responsive, friendly, careful, and loving. Couldn't ask for a better friend for our doodle!”
“Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”

About: 👋Hi! I'm August (they/them) and I have years of petsitting experience as well as a cat of my own. 📸I enjoy taking pictures of animals for pet parents! 💊I have experience with animals who have special care needs, including with dogs that need bladder expression, and cats that need oral medication administered. 🗣️I do my best to be both communicative and responsive to any pet parent messages and concerns, and my aim is to make the pet care experience as stress-free as possible for all parties! 😄 I currently work part-time and have 3-4 hour shifts throughout the week, though this varies. As such, I have quite a lot of availability, especially for jobs like house-sitting as I will be able to be at the house with the animal(s) for a large majority of the time. I do what is asked of me by pet owners and try to go above and beyond to be a good companion to the animal(s). I follow directions well and am very observant of pet behavior so I can meet their needs.
About: I have taken care of a family pet for over 8 years and helped with friends and cousins pets as well! I have a gentle yet firm approach and comfortable with dogs from 5 pounds to 99 pounds. I work from home 3 days a week and my schedule allows for flexibility with dogs of various breeds and sizes! I am available for most services and happy to discuss any not listed on a case-by-case basis. I do not have a yard myself and I am well prepared to care for dogs in apartments, houses, or any other homes regardless of yards or not.
About: [NOTE: I was active on Rover before the star system was employed, so I have reviews, but no stars yet as I jump back in!] I'm Tom, based in Falls Church near the National Cemetery. I work from home as a consultant with a lot of flexibility during the week, so weekday middays are actually open rather than squeezed around something else. I'm looking after all kinds of dogs, from easy ones who just want their loop around the block to dogs who need a little more thought. My own dog is Buddy, a 70lb pittie who was very reactive towards people and animals. I've also fostered for Lost Dog and AARF in Baltimore, which meant a steady rotation of dogs showing up with almost no history, so you learn to read a dog quickly and adjust rather than run everyone through the same routine. Some of those fosters were reactive, on leash with other dogs or with strangers approaching, and a few were both. It's an area I am familiar with and I'm glad to take those dogs on. It also just made me a better walker generally. I pay attention to the small stuff, the ears and the pause, and I'd rather pick a calm route your dog actually enjoys than a scenic one that leaves them wound up. If your dog does better in a particular harness or with a specific setup, tell me and I'll use it! I used to pet sit here on Rover, and these days I stick to weekday walks and drop-ins close to home so I'm never rushing between neighborhoods. I've got a car, so rain doesn't change anything and I can get to a vet fast if I ever need to. I ask for a meet and greet for reactive dogs before every first booking. I want to meet your dog on their turf with you there, and hear how you read them, since nobody knows them better than you do! Non-reactive dogs can have a meet and greet too, but it isn't mandatory. Available weekdays, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Would love to hear about your dog! I'm currently off-season for my job, so I can reliably be scheduled from 9AM to 3PM (so I can do daycare pickup)! I have lots of flexibility this time of year. Happy to be a recurring friend! I follow whatever routine you set. Tell me where the leash and treats live, how you want the door handled, and any quirks I should know about, and I'll stick to it exactly. I leash up before opening the door, check the collar or harness fits properly, and confirm the door is locked behind me on the way out. Keys or codes stay with me and aren't shared. If anything seems off with your dog, you'll hear from me right away.

Giang was great meeting our loving, but anxiously attached dog Andy! She very attentive and willing to work with us in building Andy's confidence to go on walks without Mom and Dad. Andy took to her very quickly with lots of kisses and dancing on the first visit, so I think Giang has Andy's stamp of approval :)
Alison walked my dog on the days I worked for over a year, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was always reliable, caring, and so accommodating with my odd hours and schedule changes. My dog is very shy and usually takes a while to trust new people, but she loved Alison from the moment they met, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry when she was with Alison because I knew she was in loving, trustworthy hands. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her and would highly recommend Alison to anyone!
Ozgenur took very good care of my dog Grace for almost 10 straight days while I was traveling…. She was always on time, and gave her very good walks and exercise. I was very pleased with Ozgenur’s work and would gladly have her take care of Grace again. Highly recommend her as a dog walker and caretaker for your Pet(s). Thank you Ozgenur!!
I ended up in a last minute bind and reached out to Sierra to provide 2 dog walks for me the following day. She responded quickly, worked with my time frame, and had great communication. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby and being available last minute!!! Will certainly reach out if i need care again
Lucy was an amazing walker! She took our foster dog DD on some fun walks and DD loved her. She came on time (or early! ) which DD was very happy about. And she put out her food after. Was quiet not to wake our family who is still asleep at 6:30am. :) We’d love for her to walk for us again!
As always Han was great with Baxter, our 80 pound bernedoodle who is not great on a leash. She did his morning walk every day for two weeks was very communicative and responsive. She provided comments in his Rover card about how it went, which was both informative and entertaining. Highly recommend her!

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 Jefferson. 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.

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.
