About: I’ve grown up with dogs then owned two blue heelers: one hearing and one deaf. Happy to take good care of your sweet doggies and that you can relax while you are away. I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. I have a doggy door and a fenced yard, and nice trail for long walks. Will invite your doggie(s) as part of our routine and happy to walk more than once a day- will give attention and be sure your dog is happy and comfortable
“Jessica was so amazing with our pups, they loved her! She arrived promptly and left a very detailed description and shared many cute pictures of the dogs. We hope to book with Jessica in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a child, and I can’t imagine it any other way! From toy poodles to Rottweilers, dogs have always been fundamental members of our family. I have also watched numerous cats for friends and family over the years, and I’ve made several furry friends along the way! I have open availability for pet care during the weekends, and I am available during weekdays from 10-5 (hours may be modified to better fit a client’ schedule). I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle named Lily! She is exceptionally sweet and great with other animals, so your pet will always have a furry friend nearby! If you prefer, I can also keep your animal separated from Lily as I have several portable gates. Pets are always treated as members of the family with ample love, attention, and belly rubs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside
“We’re so glad we found Alyssa. She was easy-going and stayed in great communication throughout, which meant a lot to us. Aoife and Klay can be a little particular and don’t always warm up to new people quickly, but Alyssa handled them effortlessly and they clearly adored her. It’s a relief to know they were in such good hands. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Ben, was excellent in the service he delivered. My dog had a lot on f anxiety of me not being around and Ben took the time to make him feel comfortable in the house and within a Few days my dog took a liking to Ben. Thanks so much Ben! Definitely recommend him and will use him again!”
About: Having over 4 years of experience caring for my own dogs has taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's needs. I'm familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, so I always try to give them the love and attention they deserve. What makes me different is that I don't just see pet sitting as a job. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel cared for, happy, and loved! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for animals. As an 18-year-old, I'm ready to start something I genuinely enjoy and turn my love for animals into a new experience. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I'm excited to stay active, learn more about animal care, and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away! I currently have one dog at home, a Pitbull, who I make sure is always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I take care of him by making sure he gets fed on time, has fresh water throughout the day, and has a clean and comfortable space to relax. I also spend time playing with him, giving him attention, taking him on walks, and making sure he gets enough exercise. I pay attention to his behavior, energy, and needs so I can make sure he's doing well. I love spending time with him, and caring for him has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and understanding a dog's personality. I always want him to feel safe, loved, and cared for!
About: I’ve always taken care of my friends and neighbors dogs when they go away for vacation or work. I enjoy caring after dogs because they brighten up my day. I am also getting a Doberman myself in less than a month and I would like to extend my affiliation with more pups before taking on my own baby! I am currently on a gap semester so I am pretty flexible for this half of the year. I will be returning to school next year. I don’t find taking care of them a chore or even much of a responsibility at all because it brings me so much joy to be able to socialize and connect with such adorable babies
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years now. I love animals and I love giving them all the attention they need. I am willing to help with pet care no matter what that means. It could be as simple as feeding and walks. It could also be more complicated and be about making sure an older dog gets their medicine. Secretly for me pet sitting is more about spending time with animals than it is about the money. I am free all day on the weekends. I will base my weekend schedule around the dog’s schedule. On weekdays I am currently working from home 8-4. If I need to stay overnight at your home I treat it with the upmost respect. I am also willing to do other basic tasks at the house. Like watering plants and taking in the mail. I know how helpful it can be for dogs to stay in a familiar environment.
About: Non-Smoker, car owner, long time dog parent. Available for exotic pets (lizards, snakes, tarantulas) when instructions are provided. House is single story with a fenced yard. My experience comes from the two 2 dogs I raised consecutively (now at peace). First was a small poodle named Zack raised from 5 years to a ripe 15. Then Boo, a terribly spoiled poodle bichon mix I’ve raised since puppyhood (see pictures). This has given me experience in all stages of life, including specialized knowledge in small dogs that require accommodations due to disability or age. Previous work experience at ASPCA for dogs and animals of all sizes. I work from home on my own schedule, so I am available at most times and hours, for both long term and short term. For walking as a solo service, I prefer daylight hours. Message anytime, but please call between 10am-6pm. I'm available for both boarding and house sitting. For house sitting, I would typically water plants as well, take in newspapers and packages, etc. I typically leave things as they are or better than I found them. My own house isn't very busy, so it's easy for me to notice if a pet needs extra attention or playtime, or if they're trying to get into something they shouldn't. Stairs aren't an issue. The glass screen door lets them watch the neighborhood as I sit. Fenced yard, clean house, nearby dog parks, and a safe quiet area. In the fenced yard, we have a stone patio and a garden of roses, hydrangeas, and a butterfly bush. A smaller metal fence guards the more sensitive plants. There's a "rest area" for pets that need frequent breaks. The clovers are growing back at the moment.
“Yesenia was great! I was so excited I was able to book her 30 min beforehand for a last minute morning walk. She’s friendly and my pup seemed to enjoy her as well. Highly recommend.”
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. I've dealt with medical emergencies but and small. I currently have two 3 year old tuxedo cats named Bunson and Beaker and I have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I currently work part-time and have lots of availability during the day to spend time with your pets. I am flexible and can work weekends. I live in an apartment that as a dog park on the premises. I also live about one block from a much larger dog park.
About: Can’t promise any training but they’ll be loved and cared for under my care! Whether your dog may be dog aggressive or the most playful, I have experience with my own with different personalities. I currently work remote and have a flexible schedule to do some drop ins and quick hang sessions/walks with your fur babies Mon-Fri. While my kids are in school, I’d be happy to stop and care for your pet! My dogs are my 2 other babies and I’ll be sure to care for your pets with the same care and respect with any specific instructions if need be.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Potomac
Pilar was wonderful with our pup! She was friendly, personable, thorough, and so patient with him. She sent pictures and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated her communication and care. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Anne did a wonderful job taking care of Rogue, our Corgi senior! All the pictures and updates were great and helped up feel better during our time away. Anne took extra steps to ensure she got all the right attention and care. I would 100% recommend Anne if you need someone to take loving care of your pet!
Hailey was excellent. She was punctual, communicated well, was friendly and enthusiastic, and handled a new situation with ease. She was composed with my eager pup who can be a handful when excited to meet new people. Hailey is clearly a dog lover who will channel that energy into her work. I would highly recommend Hailey for your pet care needs.
Katie has provided phenomenal care for Paige. She communicates well and is always prompt, reliable, and kind. She has been a godsend, not only with respect to affording me the ability to more easily adjust to new work schedules despite having to leave Paige at home, but also in enabling us to feel secure in knowing Paige is in incredibly competent and compassionate hands. Most importantly, Paige loves Katie. On several occasions, I have had to work from home but did not cancel the walks and observed Paige run to the front door when Katie comes in (she doesn’t even do that with me!). Thanks, Katie!

The average cost of Dog Walking in North Potomac is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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.

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 North Potomac. 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 North Potomac 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 North Potomac. On Rover:
- 85% 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.
