“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.”
“Elisa is the best! She’s super communicative, great with dogs, and a reliable walker through and through! Feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker or boarding!”
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!

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!

“Lucia has been walking my puppy and my senior dog almost every day for the past month or so and has been great. She is very communicative, providing photos and updates after every walk. She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”

Your pet(s) will always be under my watch. Additionally there is someone home at all times in case I do need to step out. I also offer after hours/overnight potty breaks if needed, as late as 3am and as early as 7:30am. I also speak Spanish. I am available Monday to Friday and most weekends, which mostly depend on the time. I’m very flexible and can accommodate to you & your pet’s needs. I have a fenced front yard and backyard. Pups are always monitored anytime we’re outside. Also seperated when eating to ensure everyone ears their own meal. I can crate your dog if needed.
“Raven is great! I highly recommend her for your dog walking or pet sitting needs. This was our first time formally working together for a week’s worth of dog walking while I was out of town, but I was happy we already coordinated a “meet & greet” previously before needing these services. Raven arrived promptly every day and also gave great updates from the dog walks. It made us feel great to know our pup Autumn was so well taken care of! We will definitely work with Raven in the future.”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Barcroft
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!
After our walker canceled last minute, I was so lucky to find Annie. She truly is a gem. The dogs took to her so quickly and I can tell she gave them lots of love while we were out of town this wknd. Will have to plan another weekend away soon so they can have more time with her! 🐾💕
Lucy was great, my dog immediately liked her and was comfortable enough to go on walks with her despite separation anxiety. Lucy is easy to communicate with and a quick responder to messages, I was able to let her know the evening before one of the walks that my dog would need a medication the next day.
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!!

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.
