“Keila was so amazing and patient with Ollie ! She went above and beyond to make sure Ollie was comfortable with her and he’s always tired after their walks. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Isabella; I go by Izzy and I've been a reliable pet sitter for the past 5 years. During college, I was an in-house pet sitter for a 2-year-old Maltese and also regularly in-house sat for a lab mix and Husky. I would also occasionally watch my friends' dogs during long holiday weekends here and there. When completing my Master's I offered drop-in visits to residents in my apartment complex and gained plenty of experience walking different breeds of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has an established routine and unique needs, so I like to build trust with the pets I sit and value creating a meaningful bond by learning each pet's personalities, habits, and preferences. I work full time in-person in Washington, D.C., Monday-Wednesday and remotely from Herndon, VA Thursdays and Fridays. My schedule allows me to flexibly work around the DMV, with greater daytime flexibility on my remote workdays and availability before or after work when I am in the office for D.C. residents. I can work remote from anywhere which is helpful for pet parents wanting a sitter starting on Wednesday evenings to Sunday if traveling over a weekend. I value open communication and like to provide as many updates as possible/as frequently as owners would like through photos or just casual check-in texts. I believe honesty is the best policy and bring up any concerns immediately to the owners. I always ask about emergency contacts/emergency vet locations in case it is ever needed. Building trust with owners is just as important as building a strong bond with your furry friend, so I like to get to know owners before sitting and talk about our communication styles.
“Franky has been walking my 57 lb, 12 year old boxer/lab mix for a week now and I’m very pleased. He asked good questions at our meet n greet before the first walk and is taking excellent care of my girl. He’s super nice and clearly loves dogs and knows how to treat them well. 5 stars.”
“Jillian is wonderful! She communicates with us clearly, arrives on time, and is super friendly. Our Ladybug is not the easiest dog to walk, but Jillian has been incredibly patient with her. Ladybug adores her and gets excited as soon as Jillian arrives. We are very happy with Jillian's service and would definitely book her again :)”
“Nikky did an outstanding job walking my two pets. She's patient, especially with one of my dogs who suffers from anxiety during walks. Looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Kristen is awesome! Coco is enjoying her morning walks with Kristen. Kristen is very attentive to Coco’s needs and makes sure that Coco has a good time as well her tires her out. Coco come back home tired and hungry!”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but when I adopted a senior dog in college I truly fell in love and spoiled her with walks, pets, and coordinated outfits! I have dog sat for the numerous dogs in my family as well. I am a student with a variable schedule and don’t have the resources for my own dog at this time, so I would love to help you with yours:) I am a student with a variable schedule! Right now I am working 2-3 12 hour shifts per week and have the other days completely off! I believe in treating all things with respect especially when it comes to other people’s loved ones and belongings. I work in the medical field and find a lot of joy in taking care of others which extends to animals as well.
About: Hello! I’m Catalina. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I love creating a mix of adventure and comfort for them, whether it’s a hike, a long walk, or a relaxing movie night afterwards. My building has a great dog park with lots of toys, so pups get plenty of space and stimulation. I’m available on weekends and always make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. Your baby will get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles with me! I have availability in the afternoons and weekends. During the weekend I can spend the whole day with them and also at night or dog care. I don’t have dogs or cats in my home , so it will be easy if someone needs me to stay at my place with their dog/cat.
“Vinnie is a joy to work with. Very responsible and on top of the schedule and details. Very flexible when our days need to shift. And, our two medium sized doggos do great on their walk and playtime in the yard!”
“I have two dogs, one rescue who can be anxious and one beagle. We had two sets of walks. Katherine was on time and provided updates through the day. She took great care of both my dogs. I’m very happy with my service and will be contacting Katherine the next time I need someone to walk and care for our pets.”
About: Pets have been a big part of my life, and I know the difference between a pet who is just being watched and one who is truly cared for. I currently share my home with a cat, so daily care is second nature to me: feeding on schedule, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and the small routines cats count on.Especially Anxious (i know when your gargoyle wants to lurk-and when the rubs are needed. I’ve had two dogs, and both taught me a lot. My first, Ed, was an 80-pound American Foxhound rescued as a suspected abandoned hunting dog who had never lived indoors. Together we worked through house training, leash manners (no more yanking), a fear of stairs (which involved carrying him up three flights until he stopped being scared), and a distaste for rain. His name was not what he was rescued with, but he was clearly always an Ed. With my second dog, Kovu, I spent a lot of time on socialization with other dogs and on keeping him calm and quiet when left alone. Because of that, I’m patient with nervous, rigid, big dogs, and dogs still learning the rules. I know that consistency and a calm presence go a long way. All Creatures Welcome! Friends have long turned to me for help with their pets, whether furry, scaly, feathered, or creepy-crawly. I’m happy to talk through any pet’s needs, so ask me about yours. I’d love to meet you and your pet before booking. Send me a message and tell me about them! I am a remote worker with a need for reliable wifi more than happy to drop-in, sleepover, or sit for a while with my laptop on your couch. Clear updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away Strict adherence to your pet’s feeding, medication, and walking routines A calm, patient approach tailored to your pet’s personality

About: I have been a pet owner for over 11 years and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for animals. In addition to caring for dogs, I am also a cat owner, so I am comfortable with the unique needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship. As a healthcare professional, I pay close attention to details and understand the importance of following instructions to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am happy to provide regular photo and message updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
“Just wanted to do a new update on my review with Delaney. She has been walking my dogs for almost 3 years now. She is still wonderful with them, very dependable, and very trusted. I have been lucky to have her since I moved to Virginia from Florida and my dogs love her so much too!! It’s definitely hard to find someone to trust with my dogs and having access to my home even when I’m not around but she is definitely the best and most trustworthy person I have had!”

Paige was amazing! I needed to find a dog walker last minutes and she was so nice and responsive that I felt totally comfortable with her walking my nervous girl Gretchen. She was so patient with Gretchen, who takes a while to warm up to people. She sent updates and took cute photos to share the walk with me. Will definitely hire her again :)

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 Oak Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
