“Moiz was fantastic with our two dogs and we look forward to having him over again to walk our pups and check in on them when we are away. He was very attentive and accommodating to our dogs' routine.”
About: I’ve recently opened my schedule back up to new clients! I’ve had quite a few repeat clients that I’ve worked with for a a while but, have now a few have moved away so, I’d love to meet some new furbabies! I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of all kinds since I can remember. Being the one to rely on when loved ones or friends are in need of attentive care for their four legged family member:) I currently work a remote 9-5, so I can take time to take care of pets as needed throughout my work day as long as I allocate my time correctly! Then have the rest of the day to spend more thoroughly with the pups and cats:) I live in an apartment that has it’s own dog park and a baseball field that is walking distance! (I call even the big ones pups), to have space to run and have fun! If I go to a clients home I make sure to be outside with the dogs and have some play time with them apart from just walks.
“Joon was great with Luna, who is a very sweet but timid dog especially since this was her first time being walked by someone else without my presence. Joon was calm, confident, and caring and I will 100% use him again.”
About: I’m a pre-vet student who just graduated from UVA and has grown up with two large dogs! I’ve also recently owned a hamster from a college lab! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I also have about 100 hours of dog walking experience from a shelter so I am comfortable with reactive/fearful/energetic dogs, and another 100 from shadowing at a vet practice. I just got a vet assistant job so usually it requires me to be away for 6 hours! I can only do all day pet sitting on Wednesdays and Sundays which I have off! I always make sure that I understand the instructions that I’m given and maintain clear communication with the owner if I have any questions. I never make any assumptions and always make sure that the owner is comfortable with any decisions that need to be made.
“Tricia is a wonderful dog walker. She is very caring and and really focuses on each dog’s needs. One of our dogs had a seizure during his walk and she ensured he was comfortable and safe until we picked him up. Tricia is very pleasant and courteous. Highly recommend her.”
“Elise has been walking my dog for several months now, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is great with Remy and does such a phenomenal job at communicating! I always feel comfortable knowing she’s with him.”
“Suphaphattra responded to us very quickly to walk our 55-lb lab mix on short-notice and did everything we hoped she would do! We would very happily use her services again - thank you Evie!”
“On his visit, our senior dog was not feeling well, Brenna was patient with him to keep him accompanied. On the other visits, he took him out for nice walks. He is good at communicating the situations, provides updates and sends a lot of photos. We are happy to find him to care for our senior dog on the regular basis.”
About: I’ve been a dog walker for 6 years, and I’ve had my own dog for 5 years! I love all dogs and have lots of experience with shy dogs! I’m so excited to meet your fur baby!! I currently work from home and am available to do day time walkings and drop ins! I have a flexible schedule which makes allows me the time to help with your dog most any time of day! I have my own dog who loves cuddles and loves to run around! She is obsessed with her dental treats and loves doing tricks to get them! I treat every dog as if they were my own sweet dog and would love to care for yours!
“Juan took care of our Bruno during a week long trip with twice a day walks in our neighborhood and he was attentive to Bruno’s physical and social needs. He followed instructions well without being able to meet in person. He communicated throughout our trip and made sure we knew if anything came up out of the normal. He offered reasonable adjustments to schedule based on what he saw fitting for Bruno. I could tell that Juan cared for Bruno and Bruno was in good hands. My housemate told me that Bruno was more excited to see Juan than anyone else in the house. As long as Juan is available I will look to him to take care of Bruno when needed.”
“Celeste was very easy to communicate with and left a thorough report card of their walk every day. Celeste arrived right on time to take Remy for a long walk and even took him to the park to play fetch. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
“Ellie has provided such great care for Brady!! She has gone above and beyond all expectations . . . so nice to be able to go away and know that Brady is receiving such loving care.”
“Roshni was such a great dog walker for my beagle, Willie! She was very friendly and very quick to respond from the time of booking through the week of the appointment. Your dog will be in great hands with Roshni.”
About: We would love to take care of your small hypo-allergenic dog for you while you are away. Our shih-tzu, Snuffy, is great with other dogs and has plenty of toys to share. Your dog will enjoy a minimum of two longer walks per day and two additional shorter potty breaks. We will text you photos of your dogs in action or lounging. Your dog will not be left alone for long. I work mostly from home. I have two boys, ages 15 and 18 who are very responsible and help with the care of your dog. Our dog sleeps wherever he wants, and so can your dog. We have a fenced in backyard, but we supervise the dogs while they are in the backyard because we have a pool. We have four of us living and working at home who are available to feed, walk, and entertain your dog. We feed the dogs in the morning and in the evening. We have tons of dog toys and a fenced in back yard for potty breaks. Since we already have two dogs, our home is dog proof. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and our dogs share their toys. We send pictures every day with updates.
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”

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!!
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!
Elizabeth has been absolutely wonderful with Chewy and Stormi! She is reliable, caring, attentive, and treats them like they’re her own. They are always so excited to see her, which says everything. Her updates give us such peace of mind, and we always know our babies are safe, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely loving!
Lei has been absolutely wonderful with Freya these past few months! Freya is always so happy when she stops by. She is so attentive and caring with her, wiping her paws and making sure it’s not too hot for her to be outside long. She went above and beyond staying past the appointment time when Freya was stubborn and wouldn’t poop right away. Thank you so much for everything!
Jessica did a great job walking our dog Bruno for 3 weeks. She was attentive to Bruno’s personality, behavior, and needs. We did a meet and greet for initial setup and from there she gave me notes for each walk. She took care of a wound that happened and gave daily notes on the wound to ensure it didn’t need further care. She accommodated schedule changes when needed/available for rain. I hope she is available for any future needs.

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 McLean. 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 McLean.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in McLean. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
