“Very flexible in scheduling visits, a very nice and friendly personality, took detailed notes on his visits, and was very loving and friendly to my dog. He is the first person I go to if I need someone to check in on my dog.”

About: Hi, I'm Jackie! I've had animal companions for just about my whole life, and dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. So whatever your pet's personality, chances are I've cared for one just like them. I have hands-on experience raising and training puppies, and I'm comfortable administering medication. I take pet care seriously, and I treat every animal like one of my own. Your loved one will be in good hands with me! I have a very flexible schedule so I'm able to visit your pet when they need it the most. I like to walk dogs first thing in the morning so they are relaxed. For cats, I'll play with them either before or after their food depending on their mood. I love to start out the mornings with a walk for dogs and then feeding. For cats, I’ll usually feed then wait and play unless the cat has a lot of energy beforehand.

“Sierra has been walking our dog Harley for a little over a month now and all I can say is how grateful we are to have found Sierra! Harley can be a shy girl initially but she warmed right up to Sierra and loves her midday walks with her! I would definitely recommend Sierra for any pet care needs. She is so responsive and sends lots of pictures of your fur baby (which we love) each time she’s with them and a detailed review of their time together.”

About: I’ve personally have two dogs and one cat, but taken care of many more. Puppies, potty accidents, senior dogs, grouchy cats. I love them all! Looking to gain more professional experience with different animal personalities. I am a former dog foster for the Richmond SPCA and Beagles & Bentleys. My availability is mostly open during the week! For weekends, I might need request decently far an advance as I do Rover as my side job. My home has already been made pet friendly and has the space to accommodate 1-2 more pets (depending on size) as I do have two of my own. I like to get a sense of how the pet feels about his / my home to establish their level of comfortability and trust.

About: I am a former Animal Control Officer. I have 5+ years in the veterinary field and another 10+ years of experience in general animal welfare. I am comfortable with animal handling and giving medications. I have experience with many different breeds and ages, no fur friend too small or too tall! I am comfortable with rescue fur friends with special needs. Pet care is not only part of my daily routine at home with my own animals but my goal is to make pet care my full time job for others animals as well! I currently am working part time which gives me time to make sure your animals are well cared for and get plenty of attention throughout our time together! I am comfortable caring for your fur babies in whatever ways they are normally cared for. I appreciate and respect that everyone’s households run a little differently and I will do my best to make sure your pet doesn’t even notice that you’re away!

“It was a pleasure working with Shannon during her first visit to our home to walk our dog. Her communication was excellent, she responded to my booking request and to my texts quickly and set my mind at ease that she would take good care of our dog and she did. I also really appreciated her summary of the visit and photos. I look forward to her next visit.”

About: Hi I’m Amy and I am from Ireland! I’ve been living in Virginia for the past 8 years. I am a grad student with a very flexible schedule! I have owned and cared for a range of dog breeds, from cocker spaniels to German shepherds. I even had a Great Dane for several years! No mess is too big! I’ve administered medications and love getting outdoors and would love to walk or drop into your pet! I adore cats and I have an American bobtail cat called Atlas 🐈‍⬛ Don’t have a dog or cat? ! I’ve cared for fish, ducks, pigeons, degus, a parrot and a flying squirrel! My daily routine is incredibly flexible as I am currently working on my PhD! I pick my hours and I can work around any pet sitting/walking needs! I am a gentle person who loves to give pets and go for walks and (if willing) give belly rubs! I look after a very content male cat daily (who follows me around the house).

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have handled dogs as small as Pomeranians and as big as full grown pit bulls. I also have experience in caring for pups as young as 8 weeks and as old as 13 years. I currently work 9-5 until end of summer and spend the rest of my day with the pups. I go to the dog park almost daily. I wake up at 6/7am to feed the dogs let them out and have time with them before work. When I get back they eat dinner, go on a walk, and finish at a dog park before going home to relax. I have a privacy fenced in yard, lots of treats, two fur babies of my own who love to meet new friends and will keep your babies company. I allow dogs to be in the couch to enjoy comfort and snuggles if wanted. I also own a large crate for any pup to use if they need a space away to themselves.

“We absolutely adore Geri! From day one, she’s been incredible with our furry kids, and we couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and pet sitter. Our pups always come back happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. But the real miracle? Winning over our resident diva, Gigi! 😂 Gigi believes every interaction should begin with a few minutes of dramatic protests and attitude (she likes to keep everyone humble), but Geri never skips a beat. With so much patience, kindness, and consistency, she has completely won Gigi’s heart. Watching our little diva go from “Absolutely not!” to “Oh, it’s YOU!” has been nothing short of amazing. One of our favorite parts of the day is receiving the adorable photos Geri sends during their walks. They always brighten our day and reassure us that our furry kids are having the best time. You can genuinely see how happy, comfortable, and cared for they are. Geri is dependable, communicative, and truly treats our pets like family. It’s rare to find someone who not only provides exceptional care but also builds such a special bond with your animals. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets as if they were her own. Thank you, Geri, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family—and for somehow convincing our little diva that you’re actually one of her favorite humans! ❤️🐾”

“We were in Telluride doing some longer hikes and needed to find a dog walker for our two dogs. Found Bryan on Rover. He came to the house to meet the dogs a few days prior to the scheduled service. He was on time, walked both dogs and gave me a thorough update on the visit. We will definitely book Bryan again!”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Poindexters

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Poindexters is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 per walk. On Rover, 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,423 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poindexters. 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 Poindexters. 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 Poindexters 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 Poindexters. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
