“Sofia is the best! Our pup loves her! She is flexible with scheduling and is super friendly! 10000/10 care provided for Knox! We have already rebooked with her and cannot recommend her enough!! 🙃🐾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our pup was chill when we returned home; relaxed from his long walk in the cold. Carly took him on a nice long walk and he is now, a few hours later, happily napping on my lap. Carly must have kept him moving since they did almost 2 miles! And he loves to sniff, so that’s impressive! Thanks for giving him a healthy diversion while we were out.”
“Dana is amazing with my two dogs who can be a handful to walk together. I also have an incredibly selective dog who warmed up to Dana right away, which is a bigger relief than I can express in words.”
“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!”
“Jeana is thoughtful and caring with our doggies! I really am lucky for having her as our dog walker. You’re amazing! Thank you so much Jeana! I highly recommend her.”
“Denisa is proactive and highly communicative, and provided excellent care to my energetic puppy even caring for a small injury he was nursing. I'll definitely ask for future walks with her!”
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! :)
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Sarah. I grew up taking care of our family dog, rabbit, guinea pigs and fish. I feel comfortable and confident walking/caring for all different sizes and ages of dogs due to previously working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in the NOVA area during 2016-2017. During that year, I was also was responsible for overnight stays, and day time cat visits. My primary experience with pet care since that time has been taking care of my own dog (his name is Rudy, he is a toy poodle who has been the best friend we could dream of for almost 10 years and counting). I am in the medical field and am currently in between jobs, which allows my schedule to be flexible. I am available every weekday (and most weekends). For house sitting, I will keep to your desired schedule as my Rover schedule allows (as I will likely need to leave a few times during the day for other pet visits). I am comfortable staying overnight in your home. For dog walking, your dog’s safety is my top priority. I will avoid other dogs and if walking 2 dogs at the same time, I use a waist leash. I prefer to use a harness and non-retractable leashes (when available). Before or after their walk, we can also play fetch/play with toys inside or outside (if you have a fenced in yard). For cat visits, I am happy to clean their litter boxes, feed them, and play with them inside your home (only if they are interested, of course!) For either dogs or cats, I am able to administer oral or injectable medication if needed.
“Kadyah was wonderful with Dakota! This was our first time booking with her, and she was communicative, reliable, and took great care of her. I felt completely comfortable knowing Dakota was in good hands, and she seemed so happy with her. I would absolutely book with Kadyah again and highly recommend her!”
“Ms Sienna is truly the best!! My baby loves her!! She is always so excited to go on her walks!!! She takes really good care of her and is sooo gentle!! Thank you sooo much for all that you do!!!”
“Very nice lady. Was available last minute to help me walk my dog while being sick. Yuki enjoyed it very much. He came back exhausted which helped me get more rest. Will be rebooking her❤️ Thank you Kaitlyn”
“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!”
“Aliyah is very dependable, and responds to my requests in a very timely matter! She has no problems with doing what you ask of her. Aliyah continues to be a great walker for my dog and he loves her!”
“Kelly was great. I needed someone last minute for walks on two days and she handled a 7-month old Lab puppy like a pro. Very nice and communicative. Would hire her again for sure!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Mount Vernon is $20

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 15,029 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mount Vernon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
