“Samantha is a very nice person. I am very lucky that found her to walk my dog Chico on a very short notice! She is very friendly and respectful. Chico gets very excited to see her! Thank you Samantha!”
“Kenneth took great care of our dog; even though my dog was nervous and uncomfortable with people outside of us taking care of him. He did an amazing job, and made me feel so peaceful about having someone caring and responsible taking care of our dog as we had to travel due to an emergency.”
About: Hi! My name is Jilli and I am a college student at Tulane University majoring in psychology! I love to take care of pets and go on walks! I have been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for many years. I’m available during the summer time and college breaks when I’n home. I’m very flexible with timing and am always looking to be of help! I’m currently working part time, so I have a lot of free time to take care of and play with your pets! I am flexible with distance and timing as well. I will always be open to whatever you feel comfortable with in terms of keeping your pet safe. Their safety is my main priority always!
“Mona is very communicative and flexible. I had multiple changes in my work schedule and Mona was willing to accommodate me. Both my pup, Aya, and I are very thankful for Mona’s help during the day. Also, Mona is a photographer. She has taken wonderful pictures of Aya which make my day while I have to be away. Thank you, Mona! We appreciate you and hope more pups get to have some outside time with you instead of being alone at home the whole day 🍀”
“Rosie is awesome! She loves and cares for my dog Stormi every single day! She definitely makes me feel calm and worry-free knowing my dog is getting a great walk, extra play, and love!”
About: My mom has owned a local pet sitting business for 27 years so I have lived and breathed pet sitting for my entire life. I am extremely passionate about animals and the care they receive. I have done over 800 pet sitting visits for my mom’s business and each one is done with the same love and care I give to my own pets. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I work from home so I will have all the time in the world to give your pets all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I appreciate lots of details about your pets schedule, what they do and don’t like, how you like to spend time with them in order to make sure they are as happy and comfortable as possible while they are away from you!
“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”
“I have been extremely satisfied with the dog walking services provided by Cornell over the past months. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, arriving punctually for every scheduled walk and maintaining clear communication throughout our arrangement. His genuine care for my dogs has been evident in the detailed updates and photos he shared after each outing, ensuring they received attentive, safe, and engaging exercise. I highly recommend his professional and trustworthy services to any pet owner seeking a dependable dog walker.”
“Heidi was great with my babies. She communicated great. There was an issue with my address and it sent her to my old house. She was very understanding and went the extra mile to drive 30 minutes to my current house. You want a sitter like that. You should definitely book with Heidi.”
About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)
About: I have been on the rover for about 5 years now and have had many successful clients. I have also pet sitted long term for a customer in Santurce. I love going on long walks, playing with puppies, or cuddling with the old dogs too. Please feel free to reach out! I just recently moved back to the island. I am working full time M-F 8am-3pm. I can take your pet for a walk anytime before or after. I prefer the metro area. I am looking for random one time care requests or a long term client if needed. I have stayed at clients home while they are away on vacation, done weekends, early mornings. I am able to work with your schedule as long as it works with my full time job hours (M-F 8am-3pm) I truly do this side work because I love being around dogs. I love going on long walks or to the beach. I have experience with both elderly dogs and puppies, I can match both energies!
About: My pup is an older King Charles clavier mix and the sweetest thing ever. She just had her 12th birthday and I have had her since she was 2! I also have experience with big dogs! My boyfriend has a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who I spend lots of time around. One of my roommates at school also has a cat who lives with us! I have experience watching both dogs and cats and just have a deep love for the both!! I am currently working part-time doing an internship for my school, which has given me lots of free time. I love spending time with my pup either just relaxing, going for walks, or playing. My pup is very well trained which makes it very easy for me to take her out as she doesn’t require a leash. However, I have experience with dogs who have a tendency to run if they get the chance 😂 So I am familiar with adjusting to different dogs needs!
About: I come with experience taking care of/sitting for dogs and cats of many ages and size and can’t wait to be your fur-babies’ new best friend! I’m currently working part-time from home and have a lot of time to take care of your pets anytime Saturdays or weekdays after 5 pm I have a Boston Terrier mixed with Jack Russel at home with a fenced yard. I do also have a medium to large crate at home if needed.
About: I'm a mom of 4 with 3 children 15 & under living at home. Non-smoking household. I've rescued dogs my entire life. At one time I had 6 rescue pups in my home. I love loving on dogs and caring for them. I work from home with a fairly open schedule to accommodate all your dogs needs. I can host your furbaby just about any day of the week including weekends (and holidays!) **ALL PETS MUST BE UP-TO-DATE ON ALL VACCINATIONS** I have a LARGE fenced yard with tons of space to run and play frisbee or ball in for your furbaby. I also have one 11yo dog who sometimes will play with other dogs or he'll just leave them alone to sleep all day. I have the ability to crate your pet (no need to bring a crate I have some!). Just bring their fav toys, a blanket and/or pet bed and they are set! I am stay-at-home mom so my schedule is fairly flexible. During the school year I will have to leave to take/pick up my little from preschool. Otherwise I'm home all day. I have my own (not spoiled, well loved) dog that is able to go outside whenever he wants and sleeps whenever he wants. Your dog will enjoy their vacation here with me. I treat all dogs as if they were my own furbaby. I give them lots of belly scratches and snuggles. All dogs will need to get along well with children. I can let them out as often as needed. I have a large fenced yard that's great for getting zoomies out and a deck that's great for sunbathing. I'm a stay at home Mom so I'm able to accommodate my schedule to fit each dogs needs. There is almost always someone at home to snuggle with your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also have a variety of crate sizes for any dog that needs one. I do NOT crate any dog unless the owner tells me too.
“Kimberly was so wonderful with our puppy Zion! She has been so responsive, sent so many sweet photos of him and gave us such peace of mind being new puppy owners. We look forward to continue to work with her!!”
“Wydia did a wonderful job looking after our cat, Clea, while we were away for a week. Clea is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice/day, and Wydia handled this with no issues. She was timely, responsible, trustworthy and kind!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Poolesville on Rover is $18.19 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 15,106 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poolesville. 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 Poolesville. 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 Poolesville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Poolesville. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
