Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way. He even brought a water cup for him, which was such a thoughtful touch. Jonathan was on time, dependable, and his communication was excellent. Teddy was in great hands, and I’d absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!

Angela was amazing and was able to accommodate a super short request as I was unable to walk my dogs due to illness. She is wonderful with my big enthusiastic dog who loves to walk and also my slow old lady dog who walks exceedingly slow. All of my animals loved her.

About: I may not have a dog at home right now, but I’ve been the go-to person in my friend group whenever someone needs a sitter or walker they can actually trust. Dogs have always gravitated toward me — probably because I treat every pup like my own. I grew up with a family dog who I loved deeply, and losing her a few years ago only deepened my appreciation for how much these animals mean to us. Taking care of your dog isn’t just a job to me — it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. Expect lots of walks, playtime, cuddles on demand, and photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and exercise they deserve, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or a full day of company. I treat every dog like family. I follow each pet parent’s routines and instructions closely, keep dogs leashed and secure at all times, and send regular updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and safe. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing is always my top priority.

About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.

Our pup Gracie Mae instantly connected with Christopher. It was if she had already met him before. He was absolutely great with her, took her on walks, gave her pets and kept her company while we were on our trip. It was so wonderful that Christopher kept in touch with us daily, sending us great pictures and videos. Gracie was always so excited when he arrived. She really enjoyed her walks with him! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for pet sitting services. Without a doubt, we will book with him again🩷🐾

About: I have done dog sitting and cat sitting since I was in high school and have always enjoyed it whenever I did it and would like to do it more often! I work for a catering company over the summer so my schedule varies and don't have a set work schedule, it just depends on the week! I have an invisible fence at my house and have no actually fence around my house! My family takes our dog out on leash when she goes out!

About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Potomac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Potomac on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 16,803 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Potomac. 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 Potomac. 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 Potomac.

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 Potomac. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
