“Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!”
“Lyndsey was super! I requested her help late Monday night and she answered right away and was able to help us for the week starting the next day! She was super attentive, listened to my novels, and handled our new pup with ease despite his sometimes less than perfect behavior on walks. She showed up on time, paid attention to Hudson’s preferences, and was super communicative with me while I was away. I knew Hudson was in good hands and he now has a new friend both he and I appreciate more than we can say! We’ll definitely be using Lyndsey again and have already recommended her to friends!”
“Nicole is great. She helped me last minute in a pinch. I broke my foot so I can’t walk much and she helped me on Easter when everyone else was busy. Thank you!”
“Awesome! On time, friendly, thorough. Even allowed my brother to walk with them so get my anxious dog comfort with him as her new walker. Very informative and sent pics of the walk! Will be using weekly :)”

“Arianna took great care of our dog, Tallulah! She was super attentive and communicative which helped me feel so safe and confident that Tallulah was in good hands. Our dog got sick and Arianna went above and beyond to make sure she okay and cleaned up after her accidents which was very kind. We really appreciated her help and will definitely be asking her to watch our pup in the future!”
“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We have two rescue dogs who aren’t the easiest, and from day one she has been absolutely incredible with them. She’s patient, calm, and truly understands dogs with different needs and personalities. Her communication is excellent — always keeping us updated and giving us total peace of mind. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares, and our dogs adore her. We feel extremely lucky to have found her and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Karen was a huge help to me and my wife, who had just sprained her ankle. Our dog is new to us and still not fully trained, but with my wife unable to walk him, Karen really helped us out, and she handled his walks with no problem!”
“Linda was great with our Yogi Bear, and he absolutely loved her! We booked her in a squeeze, and she was able to adjust her schedule and make time for us, which we greatly appreciated! She also was very kind and patient with our boy despite his extra energy. And we could tell that she has a lot of experience with dogs- which is important to us as corgi parents. Overall, we look forward to looking with her again soon, and many thanks! 🐾🙂”
About: I have been around pets all my life I love to go on long walks, I believe that pets are our companions and should therefore be cared and treated as such. Going the extra mile for them means the world for me considering they are always there for us during both our highest and lowest moments in life. I am available daily for walks during the morning and afternoon. Being active is apart of my lifestyle and incorporating it by walking pets makes it even more enjoyable. I will keep an eye on all pets assigned to me which will not be a problem since I love playing with pets, and keeping them active. I will especially keep a close eye on puppies and kittens as I know from personal experience that they are very curious and need constant care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Arianna has been nothing short of a godsend! She not only walks Titan, who is 135 pound Cane Corso puppy, but she has also trained him. She is so professional, loving, organized, and knowledgeable that I wish I had found her sooner. When I got home after their first day together, it was like I had a brand new dog. He listened so attentively to his commands. He was so much better at loose leash walking, and he seemed to be over his Dog reactivity issues and I credit Arianna to this fully. I saw on my ring camera, how loving and patient she was with him each time. She took him out and brought him back, and I could tell by the way that he looked at her that he loved her and respected her immediately. I think everybody should have a walker as great knowledgeable, professional, and loving as Arianna. It was very hot that day, and she was also attentive to making sure his water dish was filled after each walk and she made sure he drank water before he went on his walks, and in addition, she also brought water and a dish on their walks because she was concerned about him.
I highly recommend Tatiana. She is always punctual, pleasant, and wonderful with my anxious dog, Bud. He genuinely looks forward to his walks with her. Tatiana is attentive, caring, and keeps me updated on any concerns she notices during their walks. Her reliability and communication give me great peace of mind, and I’m very impressed with the care she provides.
5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.
Bella was really great with our Yogi Bear! It was his second time walking with her, and he already has grown attached. She is very dedicated and even worked with us to align schedules when there was a family emergency. We look forward to booking more future walks with her 🙂🐾.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker! She is incredibly professional, always punctual, and truly treats my dog like her own. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in such loving and capable hands. She provides updates after walks and pays attention to the little details, which shows how much she genuinely cares. My dog gets so excited whenever she arrives, and that alone speaks volumes. She’s kind, and goes above and beyond every time. I’m so grateful we found her — she’s absolutely wonderful!
PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!
Ana is the absolute best. She’s great at working with all kinds of dogs and through every dog’s unique personality. I continue to use her and even increased her number of days because of the rapport she developed with our young puppy. She helps make life easier since my wife and I work long hours. Thank you for everything Ana! I wish I could give you a sixth star! =)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Mount Vernon on Rover is $31.08 per walk (as of July 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 .

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 Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon.

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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
