“Great service! Promptly arrived and followed instructions on how to take my pup out for his walk. Kept great communication throughout the entire process. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old. I’ve always had a natural love for animals and walking. I often take long walks by myself. I have worked with senior dogs and puppies and every experience has been a blessing. I just graduated college and have come back home for the summer. I am free most days, except Sundays. I am excited for the opportunity to meet new friends and pets! I have two goldendoodles at home and provide the daily care for them. They get walked twice a day and play in the backyard. I believe in a hands off approach where I let the dog approach me and do their own thing. I never try to force myself into their space.
“Jessica is absolutely amazing! She did a great job with my babies and sent very detailed updates. We will definitely be booking with her going forward. Thank you Jessica!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!
About: I have extensive experience with a variety of dog breeds, young and mature. I am thrilled to care for the smallest and the largest animals. I have flexible hours and am willing to meet your and your pet's needs. I am also available to support your short or pop-up requests. In your home, I will provide attentive care to ensure your pet or pets are happy, healthy, and secure. I will send videos, and I am available if you want to FaceTime with your pet.
“Lindsey is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The love and care she shows for my pup is unmatched. She goes above and beyond to work with my schedule and is truly such a kind person. If you’re looking for someone to look after your pup in any way. No hesitation. It HAS to be Lindsey. You will not regret it!!!”
“Paige was a huge help with our dogs (German Shepherd and Chihuahua). Our usual walker was on vacation and Paige came highly recommended by our usual dog walker. She was very flexible with our dog walking budget and made me feel very comfortable. Paige exceeded expectations and the dogs loved her.”
About: My name is Michelle. I’ve been dog sitting/walking for family/friends for around 11 years and have loved it. I have my own Bassett Hound named Cooper and he’s such a love-bug! I also have two cats Lester and Cici. I absolutely love animals and always treat them as if they’re my own. I tend to always feel really close to pets after I watch them, so feel free to ask me for help again! I’m so excited to meet and play with so many wonderful fur babies. If you have any questions, please message me.
About: I have a nice size house with a fenced in back yard for your dog to have fun running and playing around. Your dog will feel loved and treated as if he/she was having a pampered vacation. Our furry visitors love feeling cozy inside my home. I have always had one or more pets in the home and can guarantee a safe loving environment for your pet. My house is spacious, warm on cozy in the winter and nice and cool in the summer. I take care of only one customer at a time, meaning your dog will have exclusive attention and pampering. Plus I bake homemade organic dog cookies for them as a bonus for them to enjoy their stay. About this sitter: I have had dogs since a child and love them very much like my own child. Couldn't live without having a pet and caring for them, they are a blessing and great joy in our lives. I want to continue to donate to ASPC in Fredericksburg and Pekingese homeless pets in Richmond in need so they too can have the love and care they long for and I want to be apart of that so I can help all of Gods creation and show them love and care for the ones that I get to have the pleasure to sit in our home and give back in return to the ones in need. Every little that we sprinkle in someones lives is a gift that God gives us to spread the love. Why I love dog sitting since I was a child caring for dogs at 5 yrs old.

The potty breaks will be every 2 hours or less if needed. My yard is fenced and I have cameras around also your babies will never be left unattended since I have a little one that I’m always going outside with him and playing with him so your baby will receive the same love and attention.
About: I have over 15 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own pets and petsitting for friends and family. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have three cats of my own and have experience administering various types of medication, including oral meds and topical treatments. I also regularly care for several community cats, so I’m comfortable working with shy, independent, and less social animals. Whether your pet is playful, anxious, energetic, or aloof, I’ll provide thoughtful, loving care that meets their unique needs. I currently offer drop-in visits and walks Friday through Sunday in the Fredericksburg, VA area, with flexible availability throughout each day. Whether you need a quick walk or some weekend companionship for your pet, I’m happy to help make your time away stress-free! My heart has always belonged to animals. I own three cats and grew up with dogs, and I have loved them all. Am willing to play, scratch behind ears, match enthusiasm, or be ignored, all for the love of pets.
About: I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and patient with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra care and comfort.” 🐾 Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day while keeping up with their regular routines. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and regular updates so pet owners can feel confident that their pets are well cared for and comfortable while they’re away.
“This is our first time using Rover and Holly has been so wonderful! Not only is she on time and reliable, she is great at communicating and my dog is so happy for his walks! She happily incorporates his training during his walks and checks in with us, asking questions when needed to make sure she is doing everything right. I would highly recommend 🐾”
“Allie came by to meet our pup before taking care of him, which we really appreciated! She spent extra time with Teddy and made sure he was walked and fed. Will definitely be using her again!”

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.

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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
