“Juan was terrific with our dog. Bailey is very energetic & he was able to exercise her between a walk & playtime. He was on time & a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Juan as a reliable dog walker.”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Evie is so great with dogs! From the first time I met her, I knew she’d take great care of my little guy. He had a great walk with her and I will definitely hire her again.”
“Taylor walked my pup, Shiloh today for the first time after our original meet-and-greet and I am so happy with how he was cared for. I received multiple photos from their 30-min visit and walk including ones showing their walk and him eating his lunch / having water which I loved to just establish his schedule and how he was cared for during her first visit! She followed all of the instructions I left about how to leave him, post-visit, and I felt extremely confident in the fact that Shiloh was in great hands which I feel can be hard to find. Thank you for caring for my fur-baby so well!!”
“Celeste is dependable and a good communicator. She kept our dog happy and walked, cleaned her before leaving each day so muddy walks were not an issue after leaving our dog until we were home from work. Thank you Celeste!”
“Absolutely thrilled with Ozge dog walking services! She’s incredibly trustworthy, always respectful with my dog, and does an excellent job every time. She spends the time to get my dog tired and sends multiple pictures each time. Her communication is prompt and clear, which makes everything so easy. I highly recommend her to any dog parent looking for a reliable walker. Highly recommend for anyone looking in falls church to walk or watch their dog!”
About: I have had a mini Goldendoodle for the past five years and raising him has made me adore dogs. Seeing all their unique personalities is enjoyable and I love giving them the best life possible. I regularly watch his cousin so I have plenty of experience handling multiple dogs. I work from home so have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I currently walk my dog a few times throughout the day to get out of the house. I provide attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes by following their instructions and maintaining their dog’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping their home clean and secure.

About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Jessica took care of our Bruno again by giving him a daily walk while we were out of town. We can tell he loves his walks with her and we know he is in good care with her. She gave him his daily supplements before his walks and we enjoyed seeing pictures from each walk with quick recap notes.
Kaleigh was absolutely amazing with my dog Cashew. He was recently adopted and we found out day of that he was anxious about being walked by someone different than me, but Kaleigh spent so much extra time building trust and making sure he was comfortable. She didn’t force anything, didn’t give up, and ended up being able to get him to walk in the end! I’m truly so grateful for her patience, kindness, and dedication to making Cashew feel safe. Would definitely book with her again!
Giang was great meeting our loving, but anxiously attached dog Andy! She very attentive and willing to work with us in building Andy's confidence to go on walks without Mom and Dad. Andy took to her very quickly with lots of kisses and dancing on the first visit, so I think Giang has Andy's stamp of approval :)
Alison walked my dog on the days I worked for over a year, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was always reliable, caring, and so accommodating with my odd hours and schedule changes. My dog is very shy and usually takes a while to trust new people, but she loved Alison from the moment they met, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry when she was with Alison because I knew she was in loving, trustworthy hands. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her and would highly recommend Alison to anyone!

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 Oakwood. 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.

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.
