“Cristina has been really great with our dog Casey! She’s punctual and always takes pictures for us to see. Cristina takes Casey on walks all over our neighborhood and makes sure she gets exercise and let’s Casey sniff.”
“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!! 🙃🐾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!”
“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”
“Melissa was so patience, gentle and kind to my American Bulldog while I was away at the beach for the week. She took things slowly with him, understanding that he's not trusting of all humans. In turn, Otis warmed up to her very quickly, which made my vacation so much more relaxing! She made sure he had everything he needed, and gave him lots of praise and love. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
“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!
About: I have been around pets my whole life. From cats, mice, dogs and fish I have been around most types of pets. I started walking dogs at 12 years old and since then have taken care of cats and other animals. I do work full time, but i am able to take care of 1-2 pets a day. Let me know what you needs are so that way your furbaby is taken care of! I love my pets with everything I've got and being able to relay that love for other people's pets while they are away is a joy. My background in the vet field has served me well and am very adjustable and trainable in your pets routine.
About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve had experience caring for pets of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. From my own pets to caring for family, friends’, and other people’s animals, I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care! I’m also very active and have a genuine love for exercise and the outdoors, which makes spending time with energetic pets especially enjoyable for me! Whether it’s going for a long walk, exploring a new trail, playing outside, or simply getting some fresh air together, I’m always excited to make exercise and adventure part of your pet’s day. I’m happy to match the activity level to each pet’s individual needs and personality. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member and make their time with me fun, active, and comfortable! I am currently a graduate student at George Mason University. Pet care will easily fit into my schedule as I only have classes Monday 7-10pm, Tuesday 4-7pm, and Thursday 7-10pm. Other prior commitments include babysitting every Tuesday from 8am-2pm. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your pet feel comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Kyle is an extremely reliable dog walker. He instantly connected with my dog, who is typically nervous with human introductions. He arrived on time and provided a solid walk. He made sure to fill my dog’s water bowl and give her treats & pets. I look forward to continuing services with him. High recommend!!!”
“Thanks for walking Riley and Archie, Davis! They had a great time and I was so glad I could find someone to help out with them on short notice. We will definitely reach out again 😊”
About: I used to work for the pet sitter company for the last 5 years and working with many various of sized dogs including cats. Willing to take care of special needs pets. I also can cover your fish feeding, lizards, and ferrets if needed. Hit me up. We can plan a planning. Woof woof! I’m currently self - employed part time. I’m usually available on many days. Would like to walk early morning and midday when you’re going to work or far away. Can cover the same pet in evening if something happens suddenly. Unfortunately, I live in someone’s place and have to follow his policies. No pets allowed in my home but good news I can take care of your pets in your sweet home.
“Miranda was excellentl. She was very communicative both prior, during, and after walks. She followed all directions provided nice details about her encounters with our dog.”
“Definitely use Olivia for all your dog services! I was in a bind for a dog walker for a few weeks and she was able to help out with no issue! My dog gravitated to her immediately. Olivia was also very punctual and flexible about times. Will certainly use again!”

Cassidy is simply amazing ! I was impressed with the map of where she walked my dogs and time of check in and checkout! She even stairf a few extra minutes ! And also left a great report about their walk .. it felt like I was right there! She truly cares about my doggies (and I am sure all other animals) and I am so happy I found her ! She is becoming a part of my dogs routine. I would highly recommend Cassidy !
McKenna is fantastic! She is truly a professional-attentive to details, asks great questions to make sure she’s caring for our pup to the highest standard, and gives our little guy so much love. The way he is always excited to see her is also a testament to the quality of care she provides! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to care for their pets.
Janna was AMAZING with Buddy. We were in a real pinch and needed a dog walker on super short notice. She jumped in, was able to do a meet-and-greet same day, and I felt so relieved to be able to leave my pupper with someone I could trust. I will definitely be reaching out to Janna any time I need a dog walker. She was awesome!
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!
Steve is the best. Our slightly special needs rescue needs a gentle but confident hand, and Steve is great with him. He makes sure our old boy gets his medication and food (which he can be quite uncooperative about) and he always takes him on the best walks. We’ve used Steve for boarding and drop-in visits/walks in our home. We know we can trust that he’ll take care of Riley just like we would (or maybe even better!) He’s reliable, communicative, and always sends great pictures, so you’ll always know how well things are going with your furbaby while you’re away!
I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want Tara all to ourselves! It’s very difficult to find a quality/trust worthy dog walker these days, but Tara is surely both! She is extremely detail oriented and follows instructions to a T. She sends TONS of pics and videos with a detailed report card about the visit. It’s clear my pups adore her. They usually take a little while to warm up to strangers but it was love at first site with Tara! She also left the most thoughtful card and puppy cookies. Excited to use her for more walks/visits in the future!
Leah has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for our pup!! I was so impressed with her professionalism from the start and she has been so consistent and thorough in providing the best care for our dog. She is a great communicator and you can tell she really cares about taking care of animals. She has put my mind at ease on a daily basis knowing my pup is receiving the best treatment and attention. I could not recommend Leah enough!

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 Newington. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
