“Thanks for taking such great care of Lenny! I appreciate your willingness to meet him in advance, and I loved seeing the pics. It was great to know he was in good hands while I was gone!”
“There are no words to describe how amazing Denisa is with all animals. She went above and beyond to care for my fur baby. My dog has IBD and Denisa made sure he had everything he needed and was very careful with him. She was loving, kind and extremely responsible. She kept me updated all the time with photos and videos. She made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. Will highly recommend her!!”
“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“When I got home Ali seemed so happy. I am so glad I was able to find a good walker and look forward to continuing their help! Ali loved grant and it was so nice to know they liked her too!”
“The pups love Marcela! She is very kind and very familiar with how to handle dogs. I have a 25lbs and 70lbs dog and she treats them very well and always gives me a great report on how their visit with her went. I trust her to come by when I’m not home, go in, and love on my dogs the way they deserve. :)”
“Taylor was great! She was a very last minute booking that we really appreciate. She kept us updated on our dogs walks, poops, pees, and fed him his medication! We will keep her in mind in the future and recommend to any pet owners!”
“Dana is amazing with my two dogs who can be a handful to walk together. I also have an incredibly selective dog who warmed up to Dana right away, which is a bigger relief than I can express in words.”
About: I have almost 30 years of experience taking care of pets, from mostly dogs, to gerbils, to fish, to rabbits, and even cats. It all started by taking care of my aunt and uncle's dog and cat while they were away. I also helped my cousins with their rabbits when we were younger. Over the years, my family had many goldfish (won from fairs or carnivals), two gerbils, and a black lab who lived almost 14 years. In college, one of my roommates got a rabbit that we all worked together to take care of as well. Now, I mainly help family and friends with their pets while they're away, but I would love to branch out. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them in the backyard (or inside a house if it's allowed). I'm looking to try this out as a side gig and possibly turn it into more, so I am dedicated to find time that meets your schedule. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take care of any pets (not already listed on my lease) in my home. However, I am willing to come to your house and will make sure to lock any doors used and make sure everything is cleaned up as much as possible before leaving.
“First time having Lauren walk Frida. Everything went well. I received pictures from their walk. Frida enjoyed her walk. Frida and mom would definitely like to have Lauren walk her again.”
“Grace is so wonderful! I am so glad I found her. My sweet almost 13 year old beagle absolutely loves her! She sends me lots of pics and keeps me updated with how the visit/ walk is going. She is easy to communicate with and very personable! She’s very trustworthy and I felt comfortable right away. Highly recommend!!! I know my fur baby is well taken care of when I go to work and I don’t have to worry with having someone that I can trust!”
“Ms Brianna has helped me since day one! I was worried about moving and finding someone to take care of my puppers but she came through and started communicating with me before my move to reassure me he would be taken care of. I’m so thankful for her and so is Mr. Puppers.”
“First time experience . Extremely please . Samantha was quick to respond and easy to communicate w at all times. This was a last minute request and she made it so easy. My dogs loved her and I will use her again and highly recommend her . Love the pics and the FU. Thank you for the best experience.”
“Leah has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for our pup!! I was so impressed with her professionalism from the start and she has been so consistent and thorough in providing the best care for our dog. She is a great communicator and you can tell she really cares about taking care of animals. She has put my mind at ease on a daily basis knowing my pup is receiving the best treatment and attention. I could not recommend Leah enough!”
“Angela was amazing with our doggos. She was very thorough in her reports and provided lots of pictures. We especially appreciated how patient she was with our older doggo and made sure she ate her food as she takes a while - definitely will be rebooking again and recommending to our family and friends!”
“Sofia is the best! Our pup loves her! She is flexible with scheduling and is super friendly! 10000/10 care provided for Knox! We have already rebooked with her and cannot recommend her enough!! 🙃🐾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Melissa was so patience, gentle and kind to my American Bulldog while I was away at the beach for the week. She took things slowly with him, understanding that he's not trusting of all humans. In turn, Otis warmed up to her very quickly, which made my vacation so much more relaxing! She made sure he had everything he needed, and gave him lots of praise and love. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
About: I have been around all kinds of cats and dogs. I’ve been petsitting in my neighborhood since the summer of 2019. I am offering overnight services! My schedule varies throughout the year, but I’m generally flexible and will work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs! I prefer not to bring any pets into my home. However, I am more comfortable with staying overnight in the owner’s home with the pets!
“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”

Luke did great walking our large dog, Mozzie! He took him on long walks and always made sure he had enough water before going back in his crate. Luke followed all of our instructions and took great care of Mozzie and our home. We will definitely book him to walk Mozzie again!
Our expectations were well exceeded by Mary’s excellent communication and her adherence to our agreed-upon schedules. We hadn’t left our pup for an extended period before with someone she didn’t know and was grateful to Mary for her care. We would definitely consider hiring Mary again if she was available! We are particularly pleased when our dog’s pet sitter treats her almost as well as we do with conversation and petting sessions .
Kay did such a wonderful job handling our old girl. She went above and beyond when Miss Peppers developed a troubled tummy the day before her first walk. Kay kept me well informed, cleaned up some mess (above and beyond!) and checked in to see if she was feeling better. Kay was also flexible about changing a walk day when our plans changed at the last minute.
Heidi provided daily walks to my husky/GSD mix for several months. From the first walk, I could tell my pup's wellbeing was her top priority and not just a job. She was very professional and communicative, in addition to be patient with both my requests and my pup's desire to stop and sniff everything in the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend Heidi and will use hire her again if the circumstances arise.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lorton on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15,322 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lorton. 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 your Lorton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lorton.

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 Lorton. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
