About: Hi, I'm Alyssa! Dogs and cats have been part of my life for decades, and caring for them is my passion. I've pet sat for all kinds of personalities, from playful pups to cuddly cats, and I treat every pet like my own. Expect walks, snuggles, playtime, and regular updates so you can travel worry-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible and I'm home for much of the day. That means I can stick to your pet's normal feeding, walk, and play schedule, give them plenty of attention, and be available for last-minute or extended stays. Your pet won't be left alone for long stretches with me. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with their own bed, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of attention. I follow your pet's feeding, medication, and bedtime routines so they stay comfortable and feel at ease. In your home, I keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible, with feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles on their usual schedule. I also bring in mail, tidy up after your pet, and send you photo and text updates throughout the stay.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but when I adopted a senior dog in college I truly fell in love and spoiled her with walks, pets, and coordinated outfits! I have dog sat for the numerous dogs in my family as well. I am a student with a variable schedule and don’t have the resources for my own dog at this time, so I would love to help you with yours:) I am a student with a variable schedule! Right now I am working 2-3 12 hour shifts per week and have the other days completely off! I believe in treating all things with respect especially when it comes to other people’s loved ones and belongings. I work in the medical field and find a lot of joy in taking care of others which extends to animals as well.

About: My name is Laryssa and I am new on the sitter side of Rover. I am extremely reliable, caring and would treat your pets like my own while you are away! From experience, I know how hard it can be to leave your pets and will provide updates so you can ensure your fur babies are in good hands! A little about me I am a longtime dog owner and have had my Norwegian Elkhound mix for 10 years. She is now almost 12, I have experienced the puppy years, the energetic years, and all the little changes that come with caring for a dog as they get older. I also have experience with dogs from other family and friends that I would care for while they were away. I also currently have two tabby cats and I grew up with cats my whole life so I would be comfortable with both cats and dogs. I currently work from home full time so my schedule is flexible. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine and I will ensure to follow what is asked of me. I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits around the Leesburg area. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, food and water, a potty break, or simply someone to keep them company, I will make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I can't wait to meet your pets and become someone you can count on! I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule and would be willing to work around your needs! I have animals myself so I am used to breaking up my work day. Unfortunately I am unable to board animals with my dog since she gets jealous of me giving attention to someone outside of her. But I am available for drop ins and dog walks! Hoping to board in the future.

About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I can stop by after work or stay overnight during the week. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.

“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”

About: I love animals. I started dog sitting for fun side hustle when I was in college and loved it enough to turn it in to profession. I also worked at a doggy daycare in Sterling for two years. Where I got to experience everything about dogs. I am well equipped with all the knowledge I need for taking care of your fur babies at any age and condition. I work part-time at doggy daycare in Sterling so it leaves me with a-lot of free time at home to look after your fur babies. Also my husband works from home most days. So your pets will always have a company. I adapt to their needs. It’s very important that I get detailed information about how you need me to care for pets. Any allergies, triggers to aggressive behavior/what calms them down. Also following my natural instinct on how animals are feeling I will adjust. I am able to provide food/water bowls, slow feeder, cognitive toys, blankets, beds and crate if needed.

“Kally was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to accommodate us at the last minute due to a family emergency, and I couldn’t be more grateful. My pup, Charlie, is a 10-month-old, 54-pound ball of energy who gets the zoomies every 20 minutes, and Kally handled him like a pro. Charlie is also anxious around strangers, but he was instantly comfortable with Kally and happy to go out with her. She demonstrated incredible patience, warmth, and understanding, which is exactly what he needs as he continues his training. I know how challenging it can be to manage such a high-energy pup, but Kally made it look effortless. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Your fur baby will have a great/safe time! I am an all around animal lover who believes you treat pets as a part of your family (as they are!) Your doggy will enjoy ample outside time, walks, cuddles and all around the clock loving! The only requirement is your doggy will have to be small kid friendly as I do have an 9 and 4 year old. Does your dog require medication? No worries! I am familiar with administrating medication. Need anything additional to provide for your dog? Ask away! I am very flexible. I look forward to spending time with your fur baby! I stay home full time and will be able to cater to your dogs every need and your every request. This makes it very easy for me to send plenty of pictures and updates. During your dogs stay they will be looked out for with care. During walks they will remain on a leash. I can also provide a crate if needed as well, dogs will only be crated per owner request.

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve had a few dogs growing up and now I own a handsome cat. Each animal will get my undivided love and attention. I’ve done rover before with my brother when I was in high school one summer and absolutely loved it. I’m glad to be able to do it again and meeting new animals. I hope you guys trust me enough to watch your animals! I won’t let you guys down! Currently working extremely early shifts with fed ex that range from 3 am - 9:30/10:30 am so I mainly do drop in visits and day walks for now unless clients are okay with my shifts and would still like to book me for house sitting/overnight I’m still open to discuss it!

About: I have watched dogs and cats all my life! Now since I am older I have a cat and two dogs myself.It’s always been hard for me to find someone I trust to care for my pets, nothing better than having someone competent and detailed caring for my pet so I don’t have to worry while I’m away. I currently work as a professional soccer player with Loudoun United FC right here in Loudoun County. After work every day I go on walks to recover so going on walks is something that I already do ! I walk dogs and care for cats. Obviously cats can tend to hide but I try to make myself friendly enough to offer play and pets. Dogs I love to take around the neighborhood or to a park in the area. There’s balls bluff, beaverdam, Seneca regional! If that is your preferred I would love to take them out to the woods as well!

About: I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment tailored to your dog’s needs—whether that means slow walks for seniors, gentle structure for puppies, or just extra snuggles for anxious pups. I have experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels, including administering medications, supporting post-surgery recovery, and helping with basic training for younger pups. I limit the number of dogs I care for at once to ensure each one gets personalized attention and care. You’ll also get regular photo and video updates, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Safety, trust, and lots of tail wags—that’s what I promise every pup and parent. I work from home full time. I have a 1.5 year old boy who is with his nanny all day. I have a friendly 5 yrs old maltipoo who I walk every 2-4 hours. My schedule is very flexible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and lots of love. At my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. I have a small, friendly dog who’s used to being around other pets and enjoys the company. I always do slow introductions to make sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime to help your dog feel settled. I offer crate-free stays (unless you prefer otherwise) and provide cozy spaces for rest, along with plenty of affection and attention throughout the day.I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pup is doing. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand what makes your dog feel safe, happy, and loved.

I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m committed to providing dependable care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I’ll treat your pet with the same attention and care they receive at home. Besides my job, pet care fits well into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide reliable and flexible care. I make time for what they need and I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive meals on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, pets securely leashed, and treat every home and pet with respect and care.

Claire was absolutely fantastic! She stepped in super last minute to walk our 65-lb Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, her communication was excellent — she kept us updated and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Claire was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly very comfortable handling a larger dog. Our pup came back happy and well exercised, which says everything. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would recommend Claire any day and will absolutely be booking with her again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Potomac Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Potomac Falls is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $28 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 15,714 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Potomac Falls. 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 Falls. 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 Potomac Falls 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 Potomac Falls. 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.
