“Mateo is an excellent dog walker! He is reliable, punctual, and clearly cared about Milo. I received updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“Grace is great! She follows care instructions and is attentive to my fur baby, I also like how she actually leaves a detailed message about the walk on the report card.”
“When I got home Ali seemed so happy. I am so glad I was able to find a good walker and look forward to continuing their help! Ali loved grant and it was so nice to know they liked her too!”
About: I have been around all kinds of cats and dogs. I’ve been petsitting in my neighborhood since the summer of 2019. I am offering overnight services! I am not in season for volleyball and I am on summer break until August 15. I am taking summer classes this summer so I am not available Monday-Thursday 11:30-1:30! I will plan to drop in before and after my classes though! I prefer not to bring any pets into my home. However, I am more comfortable with staying overnight in the owner’s home with the pets!
About: I understand it can be stressful to leave your pet with someone new! My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets as my own :) You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos. After years of caring for cats and dogs, I’ve learned all about the different personalities, routines, needs, and quirks each animal carries. I’ll always ensure your pet feels comfortable and understood. I’ve found animals enjoy my calming nature, and I have a big heart with lots of love to share. I became inspired to use Rover since I love a hustle, and I love spending time with and caring for animals. Two birds with one stone! I am currently a full-time student, so I have open and flexible availability. I specialize in cat sitting and drop ins for dog walks. Happy to schedule a meet and greet and get to know you and your pet(s). I’m a proud mother of two kitties aged 6 and 8 years old names Zeus and Juliet, but have been caring for cats for about 12 years. I also have plenty of experience with medium sized dogs and used to own a huge lethargic foxhound-beagle mix. Although I don’t currently own a dog, I still love going out with my boyfriend’s elderly shih-tzu, and my dad’s active yorkie puppy. You can count on me to provide a tailored experience based on your every pets need. I love a routine, but I am also very intuitive! You can expect punctual meals and walks, enrichment, and lots of attention (and affection of course). I am comfortable administering oral medication. Very comfortable administering treats. I have also taught both of my cats to high-five and would love to train your cats to high-five, free of charge. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! I am currently a full time student, so I have a very open and flexible schedule since I study from home (or wherever I am!) Happy to work around your schedule. I take the time to patiently get to know every animal I meet and make sure they are comfortable. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or just enjoys a quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care that’s right for them! Every visit includes fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, enrichment, and affection if they want it. For dogs, I provide safe and pleasant walks tailored to their energy level. Your pup will enjoy fresh water, potty breaks, lots of positive attention, and sniffing around a little longer than you may have time for yourself. No matter the service, I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins all the way through so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for :)
About: I genuinely love animals, and it shows in how I care for them. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including those who may need extra patience or special attention. I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved—whether that’s through playtime, walks, or just cuddles on the couch. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure I have dedicated time for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m consistent and reliable, so your pet will always get the attention and care they need. I make sure pets feel comfortable no matter where they are. In my home, they’ll get lots of love, attention, and a cozy place to relax. When I’m in a client’s home, I keep things as normal as possible for your pet by following their routine and giving them lots of one-on-one attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, or cuddles.
“Dawson was fantastic! Kayn is a german shepherd prone to pulling and being a lot to take care of. He listened and took notes of all my suggestions for how to handle him and situations you might be put into while on the walk and he handled him perfectly and Kayn returned home ready for a nap. Dawson is great with dogs giving them lots of pets and attention! Kayn already adores him and is excited for his next walk with Dawson.”
About: Im available all the time and have a lot of time with my own dog and I have a cat too. I’ve taken care of a senior dog I adopted and trained my current dog pretty well. My day is open. The only thing that’s ever on my calendar is getting my daughters to school. Other than that, I’m usually home. I have a fenced yard and my dog is really friendly. The yard is on the smaller side but still has plenty of places to run around.
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.

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.

About: I have taken care of pets fairly consistently for the last seven years, I have three pets myself and friends/neighbours have relied on me to care for their pets over the years if help is needed. Additionally, during the college school year, I work for another professional pet sitting company and have consistently recieved very positive reviews. I have completely open availability up until June 7th, after that I will be working part time and will be available after 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I have a fenced-in yard and three of my own very friendly pets (two cats and a dog) to keep yours company. There is space for a crate if needed, plenty of places to explore when on walks, and a more than comfortable amount of room in the house.
“Erin has provided daily mid-day walks for my senior beagle mix, Amigo, for more than a month now. She is utterly reliable, punctual, organized, friendly, and simply a joy to work with. Erin is kind and affectionate my dog, and he adores her. She has a wealth of experience in caring for pets and gave me great ideas that I hadn't thought of for making things run smoothly, such as getting a lock box for the house key as well as advice on comforting a dog who's alarmed by thunder and other loud noises. She is a smart, polished professional and the ideal person to hire to care for your beloved pet.”
“Kelsey has been absolutely amazing! We have been renewing her services every week because our pup loves her and has a blast on their walks. She has been so responsive and receptive to what we're looking for and just an overall joy to work with. If you're looking for someone reliable that your pets will love, look no further. Thank you, Kelsey!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Occoquan
Erica is an absolute lifesaver and a phenomenal dog walker! She has been walking King every morning for the past few weeks, and her professionalism is unmatched. She is incredibly punctual, highly responsive to texts, and sends the best daily pictures and updates.King can be reactive around other dogs, especially larger ones, but Erica handles him beautifully and confidently. Her vigilance was proven this morning when an off-leash dog approached them. She immediately prioritized King’s safety, scooped him up to protect him, and kept the situation completely under control until the owner grabbed their dog.She also went above and beyond when King was recently sick and needed a vet visit, giving me detailed health updates on his stool condition so we could track his recovery. Erica is reliable, observant, and deeply cares about the well-being of the dogs she walks. Book her—you won't regret it!
Kay did such a wonderful job handling our old girl. She went above and beyond when Miss Peppers developed a troubled tummy the day before her first walk. Kay kept me well informed, cleaned up some mess (above and beyond!) and checked in to see if she was feeling better. Kay was also flexible about changing a walk day when our plans changed at the last minute.
Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.
Heidi provided daily walks to my husky/GSD mix for several months. From the first walk, I could tell my pup's wellbeing was her top priority and not just a job. She was very professional and communicative, in addition to be patient with both my requests and my pup's desire to stop and sniff everything in the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend Heidi and will use hire her again if the circumstances arise.
Stacy has quickly become an auntie to my pupper. She’s attentive and always provides updates, complete with multiple photos. She goes above and beyond, offering playtime and cuddles in addition to walks and feedings. One of my biggest concerns in finding a sitter was someone who could confidently handle my excitable, muscular 90-lb lab mix, and Stacy does so with ease. She walks her without issue and allows her the space to sniff, explore, and enjoy herself. My pup is my world, and I trust Stacy completely with her. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Occoquan on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15,133 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Occoquan. 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 Occoquan. 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 Occoquan.

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 Occoquan. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
