About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely love spending time with them. During college, I frequently cared for dogs while their owners were away, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention to make sure they felt comfortable and happy. With a flexible summer schedule, I’m available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether you need a last-minute walk or planned pet care, I’d be happy to help. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following your care instructions closely and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and committed to providing the best care possible.
About: I have had pets, dogs and cats, pretty much all of my adult life. Love all kinds of animals. My last pet was a basset hound that was with me for 11 years till she passed. On the days I am available, my schedule is very flexible so I will be able to meet all of your pet care needs for you furry friend. I will make sure you pet is given the love and attention he/she needs while you are away. No need to worry about your furry friend while you are away.
“She is amazing and goes above and beyond. My dog loves her and looks forward to his walks with her. I will use her again whenever I need someone to walk my dog. She treated him as if he is her own pet. Lovely and sweet and trustworthy.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs of all sizes for the past several years for family, friends and other neighbors. I have the most experience with small/medium dogs but have occasional experience with larger dogs. I'm currently a full time teacher so I would be available after school August-May and any time through June to the beginning of August. For my own pets I have crate trained and supervise their time outside. For family and friends pets that I have cared for and walked I follow the owners preferences for care.
“Amazing experience from the beginning! Suzanna was friendly, attentive and communicative. She was extremely patient with Tucker even when he didn’t want to walk and always made sure he was comfortable before leaving. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be reaching out to her again for sure!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid! I’m comfortable around all dogs, especially large breeds, and willing to adapt to take care of your animal. My time spent during walks, dog park outings, or just taking care of them will be filled with love and intention. I’m a dog mom myself to a 5 year old mixed breed who is full of energy and curiosity! I’m currently home full time and am available for drop-ins or house sittings when needed! With that, I’m also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I’d love to make your fur babies as comfortable as possible and take them for walks, to dog parks, or anything you do to with them to keep their routine!
About: Hi! My name is Meredith and have grown up caring for dog breeds such as German shepherds, labs, corgis, and schnauzers. I am comfortable around any breed! I also have experience caring for indoor & outdoor cats and can follow whatever protocol you need to keep them happy and healthy! I’m currently home for the summer from college and taking an online class while working remotely. I coach volleyball on Monday and Wednesday evenings but I’d still be available for visits before and after! I’m really available at all times as long as we can communicate expectations! I do not offer pet care in my home to protect my pet rabbits who are free-roam. However, in your home, I will follow all protocol you ask me to complete while providing many pets and cuddles and whatever playtime they love! It is important to keep your pet’s brain stimulated, especially when they are anxious because their owner is away!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family’s small farm including three dogs, chickens, a pig, sheep, and bees! I’ve always loved dogs and got my first dog before I can remember. Two of our family dogs are hyper cattle dogs that have required lots of training, so I’m no stranger to the zoomies! One of our dogs is a rescue and arrived to us with anxiety and Lymes disease among other issues. I know how far a little extra love for our dogs can go! I care for my dogs at home every day with walks and cuddles. I love to go on walks anyways and would love to take other dogs along with me. I’m able to take my pets and others on walks and have a dog sleeve for my car in case of emergencies or outings. I’m familiar with pet medications and many types of food.
About: Extremely skilled and educated on puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I love learning their personalities as well as understanding and meeting their needs. I currently do not work on Wednesdays and I am off all other days at four. I am also willing to drive to your home for afternoon services. I have an acre fenced in yard, as well as plenty of room for dogs to run around inside with very large windows with a lot of natural light.
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, including most livestock, small pets, indoor and outdoor cats, and dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, all sizes and special needs. I am comfortable giving medications, including pills and injections. My childhood dog had diabetes and required two insulin doses a day, and I’ve had several more dogs need oral medication. My work schedule is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I am available before 2pm these days and after midnight. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I am available all day. I have plenty of experience with leash walking, crating and baby gates. When leaving your pet, I always check that they have no access to anything that could harm them, or anything they could destroy.
About: I’ve had 13 years of pet care experience, including walking, bathing, and grooming! We’re very interactive with the pets, with at least one family member home at all times. I am currently at a law firm in Fairfax. I will be home in the mornings and evenings every day, with flexible availability. I can come to you anywhere in the Warrenton/Marshall/Bealeton/Gainesville area. We have a fenced-in yard and crating available (if requested or necessary for your pet). We have a young Golden Retriever who loves to play and swim in the pool! If the pool will be an issue for your pup, we will avoid the backyard and stick to walks & the front yard!
“Tori was fantastic! Our dog and cat LOVED her! She was reliable and paid attention to our fur babies. We will definitely be booking her in the future. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Opal
Bristol, is an incredible dog walker. She constantly kept me updated on how the walks went with the notes and pics. She went above and beyond with her commitment to walking my dog. Walking her in snow, and extreme cold and windy conditions. She made leaving my pets for a week 1000% less stressful knowing they were in kind and good hands. I would 1 million percent book with her again for future trips. Thank you Bristol!!!
This is my second time booking with Bristol, and I absolutely would book again and again. My animals adore her. Bristol is incredibly communicative about how the walks went, timing, taking pictures. She has eased my anxiety of having to leave my animals alone, knowing my pets will get to see a friendly face while I’m gone, along with leaving my house alone too. She’s been great, book with Bristol if you want some peace of mind!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Opal on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,063 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Opal. 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 Opal. 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 Opal.

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 Opal. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
