“I had such a great experience with my dog walker today! They did an amazing job walking both of my pups, and I really appreciate the care, patience, and attention they gave them. My pups came back happy, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! 🐶❤️”

About: My name is Hoslan and I’ve been dog sitting/walking for almost 2 years. I have 4 of my own dogs and love them like they my own kids, when it comes to meet dogs they just love me, they’ll bark at first because they don’t know me but after showing them I’m friendly and give them love I’ll be your best dog sitter and everytime they see me theyll be excited! I work from home, and I just be on my computer in the mornings, but after I’m done I have so much time to walk dogs, play with them, take them out to potty or anything! I have a fenced in yard, I live close by a park, and I have 4 friendly pups that will play with your pup, here in my household we all love dogs so they’ll get treated like they one of ours

About: I started doing walking and overnights when I was 7 with the help of my parents and my love for dogs has only grew since then! I now have been in the Veterinary medicine field for 5 years with many years of farm work before then. I’m very good with all types and temperaments of dogs due to my gentle and loving attitude towards animals. I am available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!!! I am currently home full time so I have the availability to do walks, drop ins and sitting at any time. This schedule also allows me extra time to specialize the care and needs of your pet. With my years experience in veterinary medicine I am able to tailor environmental needs to each pet I have the joy of working with. Just let me know their quirks, care needs or special requests and I can make it happen!

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a child, and I can’t imagine it any other way! From toy poodles to Rottweilers, dogs have always been fundamental members of our family. I have also watched numerous cats for friends and family over the years, and I’ve made several furry friends along the way! I have open availability for pet care during the weekends, and I am available during weekdays from 10-5 (hours may be modified to better fit a client’ schedule). I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle named Lily! She is exceptionally sweet and great with other animals, so your pet will always have a furry friend nearby! If you prefer, I can also keep your animal separated from Lily as I have several portable gates. Pets are always treated as members of the family with ample love, attention, and belly rubs!

About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.

About: I've had a love of dogs (and all animals) for as long as I can remember. Though I haven't been blessed with a dog of my own, I often care for my cousins' dogs and cherish every minute spent with them. One of them is a handsome mixed breed little guy named Juno and the other a Great Pyrenees named Rosco. I take them on walks several times a day, feed them, and play with them to their heart's content. They are my furry nephews and I love them so much! I'm a fast learner and a detail-oriented person. I will adjust to your dog's routine quickly. Their safety and well-being is my priority and I will take care of your fur babies with as much attentiveness as I would my own. We will have so much fun and they will get all the love and cuddles they desire! I currently have open availability so I can care for your pets whenever suits you best! I can take them for walks, do drop-ins, or house sit while you’re away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will leave it tidy for your return. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while sharing their home with a stranger (soon to be friend)!

About: I have gained valuable experience in pet care through years of looking after various animals, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medications, and ensuring they receive regular exercise. I work from home which allows me to provide personalized care for your pet, ensuring they receive the attention and support they need throughout the day Caring for pets in my home or your home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Here is how I approach it: Feeding and Hydration Provide fresh water at all times. Follow the pet’s specific feeding schedule and portion sizes. Ensure dietary needs or restrictions are strictly observed. Walk dogs according to their energy levels and usual routines. Engage in playtime activities, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toys. Provide enrichment for cats with climbing spaces, toys, and interactive play. Administer medications as instructed by the owner or vet. Monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. Keep a record of any health updates or concerns. Maintain a clean environment, ensuring litter boxes and bedding are fresh. Pet-proof the area to prevent access to harmful substances or hazards. Offer a safe space for the pet to rest and feel secure. Provide owners with photos, videos, and updates to give them peace of mind. Discuss any concerns or observations promptly. By following these practices, I ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of how important it is to provide them with love, patience, and proper care. I’m currently the proud owner of a 1-year-old French Bulldog, so I have hands-on experience with the daily responsibilities of being a dog owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure my pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers cuddles and relaxing, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own dog! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is in caring, responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I work only 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve! 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own! As someone who has grown up with dogs and currently has a 1-year-old French Bulldog, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on their regular schedule, plenty of playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. In a client's home, I would follow their pet's normal routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always aim to be patient, attentive, and gentle. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while their furry family members are in my care. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years and truly love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Before getting my own dog, Kira, I cared for a Shih Tzu and an English Springer Spaniel in my home, including taking them on walks and giving them lots of attention. I’ve now cared for my Maltipoo, Kira, for four years and have taught her potty-pad training since I got her when she was only 3 months old, leash training, and different tricks. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I always make it my priority to give every dog the same love, patience, and care I give my own! My schedule is fairly flexible since I currently work part-time, although my work schedule varies from day to day and isn’t the same every week. Because of this, my availability depends on my work schedule, but I’m able to plan around it and communicate my availability in advance. I’m especially available on weekends and can often accommodate walks, drop-ins, and in-home pet care. I’m always happy to communicate my availability in advance and make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll provide fresh food and water, take them on walks or give them playtime and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and love I would give my own.

About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 4-13 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.

About: I've been caring and loving animals since I was a little girl. Have no fear your new 🐕 lover is here to make sure that they have the best care! My 14 year old daughter wanted a job and I just thought since she loves animals so much she could try out rover! She will be supervised but I just wanted to have something for her to do on her free time. Plus she could watch animals and earn money at the same time so its a win win! I am home most of the time during weekdays I will let you know if you contact me and I won't be available. I'm very flexible. If your dog need care I'll do my best to help you so you don't have to stress. I'm home full time. I have a fenced yard. Its dog parks close as well as trails for nice long walks and talks while I care for your pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Poolesville is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 14,728 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 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 , 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 Poolesville 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Poolesville. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
