“Tricia was phenomenal. We met her on short notice and we were away for a full week. Tricia visited our house twice a day for walks, feeding and water. She took excellent care of our dog, Maggie, and was in communication throughout the week. We felt so secure with her and Maggie was very happy when we got home.”
“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.”
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 am currently looking for a vet assistant job so my schedule is open 7 days a week! I am used to all day pet sitting. 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.
About: I have over seven years of experience caring for my own pets, including a dog, cat, and two chinchillas, along with six years of consistent pet-sitting for neighbors. I’ve provided house sitting, overnight care, puppy care, and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I wait for the school year to begin, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays, and I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they receive consistent care, attention, and companionship. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping dogs securely leashed during walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow all instructions provided. I am attentive, respectful of your home, and committed to creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pet.
“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!”
“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! ?”
“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.”
About: I've cared for small and medium size dogs for 8+ years. I am well practiced at picking up on behavioral cues for how and if a dog wants to play or be left alone. Additionally, I have experience giving dogs eye drops, liquid medicine, and pills. My schedule is flexible and I can easily accommodate it to fit your pup's needs! I am available throughout the week (including weekends) and throughout the day. Due to my flexible schedule, I will focus on giving your dog the attention it deserves. I ensure that your dog is happy and gets some energy out during our walk or play session. I can notify you during the visit and send a picture so you know your pup is in good hands. Before I leave, I provide water, toys, and food if requested. I also have experience crating dogs.
“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.”
“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.”
“Juan continues to be very reliable and courteous. I think genuinely likes my dog, which is very cute to see. Sometimes after working with someone for a bit the quality of service slips, but not with Juan. He continues to be great to Waffles.”
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.
“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.”
“Katelyn took good care of my pup while I was at work. She was mindful of the heat and took time to place him in the shade or play inside when he got too hot. He seemed very happy upon my return. I’ll be kindly request for Katelyn to help with Soonie walks in the future!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for almost a decade. Fun, loving pet sitter with experience with cats and dogs with different diets and medical needs. I am currently doing this as my full-time gig. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. I am flexible and more than willing to work around timing. I am mainly doing in-home visits as well as walking services. Following instructions to ensure safe and effective pet care as my approach is customizable for each pet and their owner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McLean
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!
Absolutely thrilled with Ozge dog walking services! She’s incredibly trustworthy, always respectful with my dog, and does an excellent job every time. She spends the time to get my dog tired and sends multiple pictures each time. Her communication is prompt and clear, which makes everything so easy. I highly recommend her to any dog parent looking for a reliable walker. Highly recommend for anyone looking in falls church to walk or watch their dog!
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.
We cannot recommend Yasmine enough! She walked our puppy this week and was absolutely phenomenal. Not only was she perfectly on time and a great communicator, but she also went above and beyond to support our pup while he was recovering from being neutered. She was incredibly gentle and genuinely cared about his well-being. It’s rare to find someone you trust this quickly with a young dog—we will definitely be booking her again!

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. 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 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.
