“Luke did great walking our large dog, Mozzie! He took him on long walks and always made sure he had enough water before going back in his crate. Luke followed all of our instructions and took great care of Mozzie and our home. We will definitely book him to walk Mozzie again!”

About: I've had dogs in my life ever since I could walk! I have always loved furry friends and the joy that they bring. I've personally owned bully breeds, labradors/labradoodles, and shelties. I have cared for dogs as large as Mastiffs and as small as Yorkies. I currently own a friendly, loving, labradoodles named Beau! I'm currently a stay at home dog mama. My schedule is very flexible! I can help with walks, check ins, boarding in my home, and daycare in my home. I have 3 children ages 10,9,7 who share my love for furry friends. I have a labradoodle named Beau who is very friendly, playful and would be thrilled for some playmates!

She was able to accommodate us last minute so we are thankful. My dogs seemed to have enjoyed being with her. Johnny and Lionel said thank you for the walks!!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was about 10, so caring for them has always felt natural to me. Growing up, I helped walk, feed, and bathe the family and friends dogs, and over the years I’ve watched pets for relatives while they were on vacation, making sure they felt loved while their owners were away. Now I have two dogs of my own, Chloe and Remi, who I care for every single day. From feeding and playtime to just keeping them happy and comfortable, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work part-time about three days a week and I’m a college student, but I come home on weekends and during holidays, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pets. Even on the days I work, my shifts are usually early mornings for 4–5 hours, so I’m free for afternoon, evening, and nighttime care. My schedule can be flexible and I’m able to adjust as needed, so I’m happy to work around what your pet needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow their normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and respect, just like I want my own pets to be treated. My motto is “treat others how you want to be treated,” and I bring that same care and kindness to every animal I look after.

About: I’ve been with dogs since a very young age. I treat all my fur babies like family! I love to keep families posted by taken sweet pictures and videos to send to them. I am currently in Virginia looking for a new job I am free everyday at any given time. I was located in Florida but moved up this past weekend I give all my fur babies lots of hugs and kisses to make sure even though you’re out they won’t be alone or sad. When I am at your house I will make sure that my time with them is well spent and make sure they are happy no matter what!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to follow specific routines, feeding instructions, and care needs to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in school and have class Monday through Thursday from 6–8 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, and other pet-care needs throughout the week, including weekends. I have a pet-friendly apartment in a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home. My apartment also has access to a dog park, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive, loving care and that their routine and individual needs are respected while they’re with me.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.

About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently my family has a golden retriever since 2019 and helped train and take care of him all these years. I genuinely love dogs and think they should be treated well and taken care of and given love as they always give us love and affection. I am a Kindergarten teacher Monday to Friday, so late afternoons, evenings and weekends work for me either or both for walks or dog sitting. I care for pets in a home like they are my own. I am respectful to the instructions left to me on how to be with them, as well as that they should be treated kindly. The house I rent does not allow pets, so I could only do clients houses for dog sitting

FAQs for Dog Walking - Potomac Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 14,225 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Potomac Heights. 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 Heights. 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 Heights.

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 Heights. 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.
