Destiny did very well with my boys and was patient with Marco since he needs some extra TLC due to his past. She has always been punctual and good about giving me updates and keeping me informed. My boys will see her again. She's great!

About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets, both dogs and cats and when I didn't have a pet of my own, would often borrow one! They make life so much better! Two of my references can give you first hand information about how much I loved and cared for their dogs. I work a 40 hour week in Waynesboro and depending on location of the pet, can do drop in visits before and after work and sometimes during the day (if local). I can come to your home or your dog can come to mine. I am not opposed to overnight stays. Your pet will be treated as if my own and with as much love and care as they can handle! They are more than pets, they are family!

About: I am currently a full time nanny, who enjoys being outside and being very active in my free time. I have a HUGE love for animals, and always have. I’m a caregiver and lover at heart. I understand that pets are part of the family and promise to provide your pet with the same love and care that you and your family do. No request is too much. I am available to house sit in your home, and able to take your dog on long walks. I love spending time outside, running, hiking, and enjoying nature and would love to do these things with your pet along side me. I have a lot of past experience with dogs and cats!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I also used to work at the Montgomery County Animal Care and Adoption Center, so caring for animals is a daily thing for me while also caring for my own. The biggest dog I have experience with is a Great Dane while the smallest is a Yorkshire Terrier. I work at the Staunton VDOT office so Rover will be more of a secondary income for me, but I used to work at the animal shelter in my hometown. I work with dogs, cats, and rabbits daily but also have experience with pets including hamsters and fish. My dogs are let outside at least 6 times a day. Those times definitely being morning, noon, evening, and night and some times in between. They are crated while I’m not home but while I am with them they freely roam. They even sleep with me.

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover who has been around dogs my entire life. While I’m new to Rover, caring for animals has always been a part of my home and family life. I currently have a dog of my own and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to care for your pet. Our home is full of love, play, and attention. I have young children who have been raised around animals and are gentle, respectful, and enjoy helping give pets extra affection (with supervision, of course!). Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your pup loves to play, relax, go for walks, or simply be near people, I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication routines, and any special instructions to help keep your dog’s routine consistent. I know how much pets mean to their families, and my goal is to provide a safe, caring, family-oriented environment where both you and your dog can feel at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾❤️ Im currently a stay at home mom that’s trying to make some extra cash. Im flexible and can work with most schedules to ensure your pup gets the care they deserve. As a dog owner myself, I know pets are family. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision in a safe home setting. If I am watching your furry friend at your home you can expect me to be professional, courteous, and respectful of your property.

About: I've always loved animals, from my first guinea pig at age 11 I was hooked! I have dog and cat sat in my neighborhood, and made friends with as many pets as I could. I'm not afraid to have fun with any dog big or small, and I'm more than open to bathing and grooming as well. I am also experienced in giving medication to pets who need it, mostly with pills but I've also learned how to do on skin treatment as well. I have taken care of everything ranging from snails and fish to birds and reptiles. I'm very passionate about giving all animals the affection and playtime they deserve. I would love to give your pets love and attention while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will be able to stop by any time, and take care of anything your pets need! I have experience keeping pets separate when need be as well as encouraging socializing! Whatever your needs are I can provide plenty of play and love!

About: I’ve had experience with many types of animals since I could remember, which could be around 13-14 years. Our family is very animal oriented and it has been for a few generations. My great grandma raised, trained, and did dog shows with many different types of dogs. My grandma has always had animals as well as my mom. This ranges between birds, bunnies/rabbits, snakes, lizards/bearded dragons, birds, dogs, and cats. We almost like them more than people :) Pet care fits into my daily routine including every other weekend for my California king snake and bugs every other day with daily greens/fruits for the bearded dragon. 3 meals a day for the dogs, clean water for all animals, and the cats free feed expect some wet food. I can care for your pets in different ways including, of course, breakfast lunch or dinner, potty time outside on leash or back/front yard, and attention. I can also offer baths, and medication to certain animals if needed.

About: My family has had pets all my life, and I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 13. I have experience with pets with special health needs as well as those with busy grooming schedules. I adore both cats and dogs and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m a grad student from Virginia with a love for animals! Most of my classes finish in the afternoon, so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! I am confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, and am more than happy to follow any special instructions you need me to. I can easily crate your pets as well give them medicine and stick to feeding schedules. I also love to spend time with your pets outside by going on walks and playing in the yard.

About: I would love to have a companion for walks while helping out busy pet owners! I grew up with medium and small dogs (Brittany Spaniel and Pomeranian) and enjoy being around all animals. I try to keep my prices as affordable as possible because I genuinely enjoy walking dogs and know how quickly pet costs can add up. My goal is to provide high-quality, reliable care at a price that feels accessible. Don’t hesitate to reach out if your dog needs some exercise and attention! Open for walks anytime on Friday evenings before dark and all day on Saturdays. I am happy to accommodate longer, faster walks/jogs for energetic dogs or slower, shorter walks for smaller or older dogs. I work full time Monday-Friday, but may add more week day evenings in the future. If you currently need help on a specific weekday, feel free to ask and I will check my availability! I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I’m confident handling dogs on walks and will be diligent about avoiding other people/dogs to decrease stress for your pet and maintain the best safety possible.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Hope

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 745 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Hope. 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 New Hope. 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 New Hope.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 New Hope. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
