About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats throughout my life, from neighbors to strangers I have helped many different people with their animals These days and times that are listed are what’s best for me, but I can definitely be flexible and work something out with you to best fit your schedule. I can adapt to any pets personality so long as I know what its boundaries are. I would like to be informed as thoroughly as possible as to how your pet behaves so I can provide the highest quality care.

“We absolutely LOVE Hannah! She showed up every single day last week at 1 p.m. and was always right on time. Our puppy absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. She’s such a delight and makes sure he gets plenty of walking, playtime, and love. Her visits are the highlight of his day while we’re working, and knowing he’s happy and in such good hands gives us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond when our puppy got into something and cleaned up the mess for us. That extra care means so much! Hannah is dependable, thoughtful, and just wonderful with our puppy. We’d happily have her care for him any time, day or night, and recommend her to absolutely everyone. Truly 10/10—we’re so grateful she’s our dog walker!”

“Meli is an amazing dog caregiver! She genuinely loves my dog, Uma, and it shows in everything she does. She brings him treats and even celebrated her birthday with him! That was incredibly sweet. ❤️ She also noticed some changes in Uma's health and brought them to my attention, allowing us to address them with our vet in a timely manner. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring she is. Meli always goes above and beyond. She often spends more than the scheduled 30 minutes with Uma and adjusts their walks to his needs. And the best part? Uma absolutely adores her! He practically jumps to the ceiling with excitement whenever she arrives! I couldn't ask for a more loving, thoughtful, and trustworthy person to care for my dog. We are so lucky to have her!”

About: For starters, I have been a dog walker since July 2025❤️ I worked for two different companies as well. I love dogs. I’ve had a couple of dogs over the years and I’ve watched families dogs for them when they went out. I’ve watched neighbors and friends. I love them. It’s like having a best friend! I work as a dog walker in Arlington. I can be free Thursdays through Sundays! I work Monday-Wednesday as a security officer at Dulles Airport I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I will learn and follow your routine, give them the attention they deserve, and keep things calm and clean❤️❤️

About: Hi there! Thanks for considering me as your pet sitter :) I’m Jasmina, have a dog on my own and am an animal lover through and through. From guinea-pigs, to bunnies, to cats and to dogs I’ve had everything growing up! I have experience with many different types of dogs - puppies and adults, big or small - including special needs dogs, assistance with administering medication or handling reactivity. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your best friend, making sure they’re safe and happy while getting their energy out and filling their bellies! During the week my schedule can be quite flexible, I work from home most days so happy to work with you and your routine how we see fit! I’d make sure to tour the place first to make sure nothing, that could possibly harm a pup, is in the way or could be ingested. Depending on your pups story I’ll make sure that they’re only exposed to situations they’re comfortable in.

About: Over the years I have taken care of many different kinds of animals including dogs and cats (of which I've owned two of each), guinea pigs, mice, and more! In my veterinary science classes, I learned a lot about the handling of dogs, cats, and small animals and got lots of hands-on experience working with dogs during weekly grooming days. Previously, I have worked in a dog hotel as a kennel assistant where I provided many different services for dogs including feeding, cleaning and walking. Along with this, I also often pet sit for my friends and family :D I have a good amount of time on weekdays to look after pets. If anything pops up that will be communicated through messages or on my calendar 👍 I have experience working with a variety of tempers in dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm very patient with nervous/shy animals and can match a higher energy as well.

About: I have a dog of my own and have fostered puppies and kittens throughout college. I enjoy going on walks and would love to take your dog out on a walk as well◡̈ I’m back in the area after graduating college at VT, so I’m looking to walk dogs anytime throughout the day. There really isn’t a restriction on the time or day because I am pretty free throughout the summer. My dog and I go on walks, but she mainly prefers to stay inside and roam around the backyard. She’s a toy poodle who enjoys treats and naps◡̈.

“Emily was absolutely wonderful with Juno. She was always incredibly attentive, caring, dependable, and genuinely seemed to care about her well-being. Juno passed away a few weeks ago, and looking back, I’m especially grateful knowing that when I couldn’t be there, she was in the hands of someone who treated her with so much kindness and compassion. It was obvious that Emily didn’t simply see taking care of Juno as a job, she truly cared about her. That meant more to me than I can adequately put into words, particularly as Juno got older and needed a little extra attention and patience. I would recommend Emily without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with a pet they love. I’ll always be grateful for the care, kindness, and affection she showed Juno.”

About: I recently got my own dog after years of waiting, and I’m loving every second of it! Growing up I’ve had both dogs and cats, and during my college years adopted a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I can handle reactive dogs just please let me know beforehand what their triggers are and the type of reactions they have I’m patient, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s vibe… whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. Currently working part time so I have a lot of availability. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am happy to work at those odd times of day I live in an apartment and have a dog of my own. We can go on walks, or take your dog to a fully fenced in park near me either on of off-leash.

About: I believe every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually so I can provide attentive, reliable care and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable care, whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual routines, respect their space, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

We had a last-minute need for a dog walker, and we’re so grateful he was able to accommodate us! He was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding with our silly girl, Lyla. It was our first Rover experience and we were nervous, but he made the whole process easy and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We truly appreciate his flexibility and care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! 🐾❤️

Daniel took me on a fabulous 1.4-mile adventure! I inspected the countryside, left three important pee-mails, deposited one official statement, encountered a suspicious snake, and conducted diplomatic relations with a very affectionate horse. Daniel was an excellent chauffeur, photographer, and security detail. I returned home exhausted from my important work. Five paws! Would hire again!

It was terrific having Timothy as Ruby's sitter! She was well cared for, got plenty of walks, and I felt good knowing she was with someone who genuinely cares about dogs and their well-being. It's been a while since I've needed a sitter, so finding someone I could trust meant a lot. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would absolutely recommend Timothy to others. I'll definitely be booking him again for future needs!

I had plans fall through with late notice and needed a few days of dog walks for my 7mo puppy who is going through his second fear phase. Plus, there wasn’t time to meet Kendall ahead of time, or even be there when she met him for the first time. She did an AWESOME job easing in with my pup and getting his trust so quickly, and the second day he was already excited waiting for her return. Feeling so relieved and grateful for her, and this first experience with Rover in general.

Teju Did a great job walking our 9 year old pup. It was nice for her to ask for a meet and greet prior to. She stayed in constant communication with us from the time we scheduled all the way until after they finished their walk. Teju showed up right on time and even offered to feed our Cooper. We would definitely use Teju again when the time comes.

She shares all the droppings my pup performs and sends pictures every time. It’s a shame she is only here for the summer because I would happily hire her year round.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Legato

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Legato is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 15,389 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Legato. 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 Legato. 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 Legato 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 Legato. On Rover:

  • 84% 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.
