About: I’ve been helping neighbors and friends with their dogs for the past two years, including walking, feeding, and basic care. I’m great with playful dogs, shy dogs, and puppies who need a little extra patience. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy. I have a very flexible schedule, especially in the mornings and evenings. Since I’m a college student on break with plenty of free time, I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and check-ins around my classes with no problem. Safety is my top priority. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates stay secure, walks are controlled, and pets are never left unattended. I keep a calm, clean environment and always give regular updates so owners know their pet is safe.

About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for dogs and have experience taking care of my own as well as helping with others. In a effort to getting outside, staying active, and working toward my own fitness goals. I figured, why not accomplish two things at once?! Let me help you feel confident your pup or pups are cared for while getting some extra steps in myself! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. Please reach out if my schedule is blocked we maybe able to work something out. I currently work full time in Richmond however I am in the office 2-3 days a week. Depending on those days, I can do lunch drop ins, however morning and evenings I am absolutely available. I am also in school so most weekends I am in the area! I am happy to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. If there are additional needs outside walking and feeding the dog please let me know. I am happy to confirm what I am comfortable doing.

About: I am a highly responsible, attentive, and compassionate dog lover dedicated to treating your pups with the exact same care and affection I give my own. With a strong focus on safety, punctuality, and clear communication, I ensure that every dog gets the physical exercise they need and the mental stimulation they crave. Whether managing high-energy breeds on long walks or providing calm, soothing companionship during in-home sitting, I prioritize your dog’s unique routine and well-being above all else. Im currently free at any time looking to make extra money and wanting to show off my skills of caring for animals I am excited I would make sure to provide food and water, regular exercise, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I maintain a clean environment by cleaning up after them, washing food and water bowls, and keeping litter boxes or outdoor areas tidy. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate any concerns promptly. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine to help them feel secure while their owner is away.

About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for a few years now, and what sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for all kinds of animals, and my determination to provide a safe, loving, and harm-free environment for your pets. I’m currently a college student athlete at Virginia State University, and a member of a social organization on campus, those are my only responsibilities, and I am unemployed while at college. I give my pets a lot of love and rubs whenever I can, I also feed them reasonably and clean their litter box frequently. I also leave my door open in case my pets want to sleep and spend time with me.

About: I love all animals but I’m a dog lover through & through. Yes.. Even the stinky, accident prone, jumper, barker, puller, escape artists, babies too. I was raised with 2 boxers who have made their way across the rainbow bridge. I raised a super mutt for 6 years who has also crossed over. I now have a Rottie mix who was adopted through Chesterfield Animal Shelter going on 4 years ago. She is, in addition to my human babies, my dog child. She is the best of friends with my kids. If you ask my oldest how many brothers and sisters he has, she is included in his total … 😂 I have 10+ years of experience walking/pet sitting neighbors, family and friends dogs but im in my second year of pet sitting full time. I can’t express enough the joy it has brought me. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors & everything in between of all sizes. I’m familiar with giving oral medication and have learned how to properly perform CPR on dogs. I fully understand & respect that each animal is different & has their own needs and personality. As well as their owners. This is why my care goes beyond maintaining. I’m full of patience and love & It’s important to me that i strive for comfortability. I have taken on pet sitting full time! My regular returning clients are a priority but i still have plenty of open room for new clients! I understand that for each pet, their wants and needs may vary. I am big on respecting what makes everyone the most comfortable and cared for. I strive to leave your pet feelings enriched and at ease by the end of my visit.

About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing a safe, attentive, and comfortable environment for pets. I am currently going to college and have too much time on my hands. What better time to spend my free time than with your pups. Safety, trust, and creating a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. Having been around dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I always ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family while maintaining a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I believe strong communication, reliability, and genuine compassion help build trust with both pets and their owners, allowing every dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for while in my care.

About: I have taken care of pets from a very young age carrying for dogs and cats and even horses, rabbits, chickens, goats and more where I grew up in the country. Most recently I pet sat regularly in Woodlake for several families including senior pets on medication and special needs pets, overnight sits in the home and taking care of multiple animals for a week at a time. I am compassionate and kind and will follow whatever guidelines you already have in place for your kids to not back track on training. I'm currently available full-time to help your pets be happy while you're away. My schedule is flexible for boarding, drop-ins, walking and more. We have two friendly dogs that will help keep your fur baby company if so desired. Otherwise they can be separated if need be in different areas of the home or crated away from one another for down time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Pocahontas on Rover is $0 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 per walk. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,396 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pocahontas. 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 Pocahontas. 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 Pocahontas 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 Pocahontas. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
