“Lenny did a great job taking our 2 Great Danes on daily walks. The girls really like her and were very excited when she arrived every day. It is apparent how much Lenny likes animals and her enthusiasm and care for them really shows.”
“We love Steph! She is super easy going and fun. She takes great care of Charlie and also a ton of really cute photos during her walks. I look forward to the pictures during my work day! Steph is awesome and I highly recommend her to care for your pet. In fact, we have gained a trusted friend thanks to Rover! ?”
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, reinforcing routines, and providing plenty of attention and exercise. Whether your pet loves long walks and adventures or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I adapt to their individual needs and personality. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I also understand the importance of communication and provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I currently work fully remote so have highly flexible hours allowing me to give your pet the attention they deserve. Will schedule fully around you and your pets needs Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet is my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and special needs so they receive consistent care and attention while their owners are away. I maintain a clean and secure environment, follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully, and ensure pets are supervised during walks and outdoor activities. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. As a responsible and dependable caregiver, I understand the trust involved in leaving a beloved pet with someone else. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and genuine affection—so both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease.
About: Hii, I’m currently a service member but also an animal lover. I come from a family that’s trained K9s for the police academy in Cuba. I have trained and baby sat all types of fur babies before joining the military and currently still am. I grew up with so many different breeds of dogs. I have also foster dogs while in the military and it was a joy finding their forever home. As of right now I am available weekdays after 1300 but can adjust my availability if I’m given 24 hour heads up. Available all day during the weekends. I live on the Army base in Fort Novosel. I have a spacious house and back yard that is fenced in. I have a Griffon mutt named Kobe and he’s only 2 yrs old. He’s the most friendliest and welcoming pup. He good with children, small dogs and big dogs. He loves cuddles and sharing his toys.
About: ONLY HYPOALLERGENIC DOGS🐶 Hi there! I’m Laia and I live in the Mt. Vernon area with my partner in a house with a 0.5-acre fenced backyard. I work from the office some days a month, but otherwise, I’m home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Since my routine can vary, I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable being alone for a few hours and don’t have separation anxiety. We don’t have any pets or kids at home, and due to allergies, we can only host hypoallergenic pups. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Some days I’ll be working from the office for about 5 hours, and other days I’ll be home—my schedule changes week to week. I really enjoy having a dog around for company, so I’m looking for pups who are comfortable being on their own for a bit and don’t have separation anxiety. In my home, pets have access to a spacious 0.5 acre fenced backyard, perfect for running, playing, and enjoying the outdoors safely. We live in a quiet residential neighborhood with plenty of green areas and nearby trails. I aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home while getting plenty of outdoor time and attention.
“Jeana is AMAZING. She is incredibly kind and wonderful to my dogs, understands their very different needs and goes above and beyond to meet their needs. She is also very quick with responding and very communicative (and takes the best pet photos!). She really loves the animals like they are her own and I can not recommend her enough.”
“Elyse has been reliable and communicative. My two cats and small dog are comfortable around her and enjoy her visits! Thanks, Elyse, for helping me with my fur babies :)”
About: I am not your average sitter, I have a lot of time on my hands to help you and your fur babies any time of day. I do not speak English but I am dedicated to work and help others around me. I am retired and have a lot of time on my hands. I am available every day of the week just let me know when you need me. I am willing to travel to you home and I will make sure to take care of your fur babies and your home as well.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 4 years now I have 1 dogs of my own who is my pride and joy. I have crated trained them as well as potty trained. I also walk dogs if weather permits about 2 times a day once in the morning and another in the evening. I have experience with fostering dogs as well which me and my family have been doing for about 2 years now. Currently working part time. I would take care of dogs in the morning around 9-10am then come back in the evening after my job around 3 or 4pm. If I do not have work during the day I will go in the afternoon and check up on them around 1-2pm I will make sure to check up on dogs if in your house I will check in multiple times a day, walk them twice and make sure to feed and check to see if they have enough water. If dog sitting in my abode then they will have constant supervision as there is always someone in the house I have a fenced in backyard as well they will also be fed per your instructions and walked twice a day.
About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!
“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!”
About: I grew up in a home with dogs. And most recently, had a fur baby of our own for 12 years. I work from home so that I will be able to give your fur baby the attention they need and deserve. I provide attentive, personalized care which is shaped by more than 12 years of being a dog owner. I typically work from home (during the week), so I am available to provide many potty breaks and to give them attention that they want/need. On the weekends, I typically at home - so your fur baby will receive a lot of attention and care. Hope to hear from you! I live in a single-family home with a yard in a dog-friendly community with walking trails and grassy areas. Your fur baby will feel right at home! Your fur baby's typical day will be a long walk in the morning, 2-3 afternoon walks and a long walk in the evening. I love being outdoors so if that is what your fur baby enjoys, we will definitely have outdoor time!
“Sun has been great with our dog (Max), a 95-pound Staffy-Boxer mix, who can be excitable and overly rambunctious at times. Sun is very responsive to messages through Rover and has been very accommodating when unexpected circumstances crop up (e.g., ensuring Max has dinner if we have to stay late at the office). She’s also surprised Max with the occasional treat (like puppy pops on warm days), but she always checks in ahead of time to make sure he’s allowed to have them.”
About: Hi! I’m Callyn, and I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua named Cookie who is a very special part of my family. My experience comes from caring for my own dog, and I’m new to caring for other people’s pets. Caring for Cookie has taught me the importance of patience, gentle attention, and a consistent routine. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s habits and needs, follow your care instructions, and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure it’s a good fit. You can also expect photos and updates. I speak both English and Spanish! I work and attend college, so I plan pet care around my schedule. I’m available every Thursday after 12 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays after 3 p.m., and Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 5 p.m. During these hours, I’m happy to provide walks, visits, and attention for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and daily routines, and take time to learn about their personality and needs. I keep dogs on a leash during walks and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.
About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
I don't even know where to begin, but Jackie has been such an absolute BLESSING during a very tumultuous time where I have not been able to walk my dog, Sadie, due to having leg surgery and needing someone short notice. Never would I have thought that I would find my dog's godmother, but HERE WE ARE! Jackie is incredible with Sadie and Sadie is IN LOVE with Jackie. I used to work in vets myself and can feel Jackie's empathetic and beautiful nature when it comes to pets, and even my little demon hobbit cat loves her too and he is hard to please. Jackie is also aware of any inconsistencies with Sadie's behavior, potty breaks and has even checked for ticks as the spring gets nuts with those terrible creatures. We are going to be so sad that she won't be coming 3 times a day anymore, but Jackie has become an actual friend and Sadie and I plan to have visits. There is no way Sadie cannot be in Jackie's life and Jackie has expressed the same. We seriously love her so much and will still book with her when needed in the future. You could not be in better hands than with Jackie and I have trust issues lol. She is the VERY BEST <3
My boy, Henry, and I are repeat customers and so very thankful for Miranda! She walks Henry on a weekly basis and I know he looks forward to her visits! Knowing she had experience with a dog who just went through ACL surgery gave me so much added peace of mind. Highly recommend Miranda!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Mount Vernon is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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.

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 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 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon. 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.
