“Isabella is great! She's very responsive, flexible to help with added walks on unexpected days that pop up during the week, and she takes extra special care of my pup who can be stubborn at times and sensitive to heat. Highly recommend!”

“Rachel was amazing! She helped us out on short notice and exceeded our expectations. Our dog Lucy can be shy with new people, but she warmed up to Rachel right away, which was such a relief. Rachel even gave extra attention to our cat Nelson (who wasn’t part of the booking), and both pets were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We’re so grateful for the care she gave and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lenny is great! I could say more, but those three words fit perfectly. My dog loves her. I was sold by the first picture of my boy getting water on his walk during a hot day. Lenny is thoughtful and asks the right questions. I feel really good letting her take care of my boy. More to the point, my dog is excited for his walks – you can’t give a better recommendation that that!”
About: Trusted Veteran • Farm-Raised Animal Lover • Dependable Dog Walker Growing up on a farm in North Dakota gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. As a dog owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My military background strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to following instructions, ensuring every pet receives safe, dependable care. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I recently retired from the Army, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I will provide regular updates with photos, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.
“We had the pleasure of having Natalie take care of our dog while we were on vacation, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. She was absolutely wonderful with administering our dog's medications, ensuring they were given exactly as prescribed. Natalie also followed our dog's walking and feeding schedule to a tee, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We returned home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience as a veterinary assistant, which gives me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and emergency care. I’m confident caring for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies who need training and structure to senior pets requiring gentle handling, medication, or special attention. I prioritize safety, consistency, and love, treating every pet like family. Whether it’s playing with them or just providing a calm, reassuring presence, I’m here to give your pet the best care possible! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’ve built my schedule to make them a priority. As a veterinary assistant, caring for pets is already a big part of my life, and I extend that same dedication to my pet sitting clients. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I plan my day around each pet’s needs to ensure they get consistent, loving attention. I’m usually available weekdays in the afternoon and Friday’s and weekends I’m free pretty much all day to care for your fur babies! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and patience. I will also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away! My goal is to make your pet feel like you’re never gone! :)
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.
“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! ?”
“Miranda has been so amazing to work with so far! She is so understanding, reliable, accommodating, and patient with our rather nervous Golden. She has tried different things to help her walk more and has even offered to show us some of the strategies she uses. Our dog, who is also hesitant to warm up to new people, seemed to love her immediately. Highly recommend Miranda!”
“Alyzah is great with our old lady, Chloe. Chloe has some special needs but Alyzah is always patient and caring with her. Would recommend her to anyone, and we will definitely use her more.”
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I grew up with pets and currently temp foster for a local animal rescue! This gave me hands-on experience in all aspects of pet care. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, administering medications, and creating safe, fun environments. I treat every pet with love, patience, and respect, ensuring they feel happy and secure while in my care! I’m a stay-at-home-mom and I have two kids under the age of 5. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two little kids, so my pet care fits around our family routine. Depending on the season and whether we spend time outside, I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet gets attention, love, and a safe environment, while keeping care consistent and reliable for pet parents. I have a big, open yard where dogs can play and explore safely, and I have a small fenced in area to keep your dog safe and secure. Occasionally, I may have a foster dog or cat in my home, which gives your fur baby companionship and socialization opportunities. I always supervise interactions, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and happy while in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful experience! She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of my baby, Denim Bleu. I really appreciated the updates and photos after each walk, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Denim looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for every visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable walker.
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
Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!
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 for Dog Walking in Mount Vernon on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 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:
- 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.
