“My pup absolutely loved Vanessa! He waited patiently for her to come over and take him for his morning walks! She is detailed, thorough and genuinely cares for your furbaby! Super grateful for the daily pics and updates - it truly made my day while I was on travel. I look forward to working with you again!”
“Denisa was extremely helpful, understanding, and loving 🥰. She went above and beyond to ensure I was receiving text messages during my trip where I didn’t have access to Wi-Fi. I had a very relaxing vacation time knowing my furry child was in great hands! She also used her language skills to communicate with my mom, who doesn’t speak English, and maintained open communication regarding schedule changes and other challenges we faced. My child is one of those stubborn ones, however, she did what a good pet sitter would do, but she added love ❤️, fun and joy to Polito’s potty time. Every picture and video she shared, showed a super excited and happy child! I highly recommend her! 🥰🐶💕🐾”
“If I could give Emily and Ben 10 stars I would. I chose them mostly due to the positive reviews they had and level of experience. We have 3 big dogs (2 of our own and a foster) and a bunny named Pete. It is hard to find experienced bunny sitters, and I didn't even realize Emily had rabbit experience when I hired her. They took phenomenal care of oir dogs. Frequently sending pictures and taking them on good long walks. But what I really want to highlight is how above and beyond they went for my rabbit Pete. They quite literally saved his life!! We went away for the 3 day labor day weekend and were on our way home, about 2 hours out when Emily texted me with an update on Pete. He didn't hop over to greet her in the morning like normal, he didn't even get up. He wouldn't eat his pellets and didn't even want the apple treat she offered. It would be easy to write this behavior off coming from a rabbit unless you knew better and Emily did. If rabbits go into GI stasis (essentially their GI tract shuts down) they can die within 24 hours. It was morning so it was quite possible it had been 12 hours already of GI stasis. On one of the busiest weekends for travel and thus animal care for them, they rushed Pete 30 minutes away to the only ER for exotic pets open in the area that I could find. They stayed there with him until my neighbor arrived to stay with him until I could get there. She was in constant contact with me the whole time. I am happy to report that after 24 hrs in the ER and several days of extensive at home care Pete went on to make a full recovery! GI stasis is one of the most, if not the #1 killer of domestic rabbits. Pretty much anything can cause it. Stress, heat, injury, underlying medical condition, infection, etc... We don't know yet what caused his stasis, but I fully credit Emily and Ben with saving my bunnies life. I will be recommending her to everyone I know. And anytime we need a sitter I know our fur babies couldn't be in better hands!”
“When I got home Ali seemed so happy. I am so glad I was able to find a good walker and look forward to continuing their help! Ali loved grant and it was so nice to know they liked her too!”
“Erica is a jackpot find on Rover! She is a dog trainer and trains her personal dogs for competition sports, so she can handle pretty much anything! My reactive, energetic GSD loved all her attention and expertise. She's a great communicator and goes the extra mile to make sure your pets are taken care of. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.”
“Toni A. is awesome! Our fur baby loves her. He is so excited when he sees her drive up & eager to leave for his walks with Toni. It’s clear to see that she loves dogs. Toni is Punctual, friendly, energized, engaging, and comforting. Of course we were concerned w/starting walking Service with Rover or any dog walking service. This is our baby. Toni calmed all our fears.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule! I am a full time student at GMU but my classes are spread out so I have a lot of time to work with. I’m very willing to work something out to ensure your fur babies get good care. I will respect your home and house rules when dropping in or taking the pets for walks. I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
“Megan was absolutely amazing! She responded to our last-minute booking request and took such great care of our dog. She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was walked, fed, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such kind and reliable hands. Megan was communicative, dependable, and truly showed that she cares about the pets she looks after. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Megan!”
“Christopher was absolutely great with my eight month old puppy, who had never had a dog walker before. He kept me updated and was always communicative. He also went the extra mile, playing with Honey after her walks. I highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a lifelong dog lover with a background in Animal Science and hands-on experience working with animals. In addition to being a dog owner myself, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and compassionate while ensuring every dog feels safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, walking style, and preferences. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic adventure, a relaxing stroll, or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I’ll make sure they have a fun and enriching experience. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages after every walk so you can have complete peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently working full time. My work environment is hybrid, so I’m mostly working from home. My schedule is flexible and I’m available for weekday walks, with availability during late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and find a schedule that works best for both of us. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to understand their routine, personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their family. During walks, I focus on keeping your dog safe by using proper leash handling, being aware of our surroundings, and following any preferences you have regarding routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs or people. When entering your home, I will always be respectful of your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I will provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care every time.
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, and can’t imagine life without a furry companion or two. Or three. Or a hundred. But I can’t have a hundred critters in my apartment, so I have to fill those critter-shaped gaps with YOUR fur babies! I have 20 years of experience with cats, and about 8 years experience with dogs. Over the years, I have fulfilled multiple house and pet-sitting gigs spanning as long as two weeks, or as short as a single walk around the block. I am happy to learn how to administer medications or provide reasonable levels of support for any animal’s medical or behavioral needs. I’m currently looking to fill gaps in my schedule left by a sudden reduction in hours from my regular work. Because it is hopefully a short term issue, I’m putting my name out there to help my community and their pets during my newfound availability. My schedule is pretty flexible. As a renter, I cannot offer my own spaces at this time. However, I am more than happy to drive out to care for your pets at your home! With instructions communicated to me, I am happy to water plants, rotate lights, adjust blinds, etc. as well.
“Erin has provided daily mid-day walks for my senior beagle mix, Amigo, for more than a month now. She is utterly reliable, punctual, organized, friendly, and simply a joy to work with. Erin is kind and affectionate my dog, and he adores her. She has a wealth of experience in caring for pets and gave me great ideas that I hadn't thought of for making things run smoothly, such as getting a lock box for the house key as well as advice on comforting a dog who's alarmed by thunder and other loud noises. She is a smart, polished professional and the ideal person to hire to care for your beloved pet.”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and dogs from puppies to seniors (small and medium breeds). I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior needs, and always focused on maintaining routine, safety, and comfort. What sets me apart is my calm energy, reliability, and clear communication. I treat every pet with genuine care and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I currently have availability during evenings and weekends, and I’m committed to giving pets my full attention during that time. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — I plan ahead, maintain structure, and prioritize consistency to ensure every pet receives dependable, attentive care. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm apartment with my two senior cats, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle care. In my client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and provide regular updates for peace of mind. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a secure environment, and treated with the same care and respect as my own.
About: My spouse and I have been taking care of our family pets and pet-sitting for neighbors since we were kids! I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rodents to cats to corgis to german shepherds and more! Currently, we are in the process of training a service dog and raising our cat mandy. When my wife was in high school, they worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and learned a lot about pet care there. We are excited to meet and take care of your fur babies! I currently work from home so we are able to take care of your pets whenever they need throughout the day! We have a dog of our own, so they can have a playmate and we have a big yard for them to run around in. At our home, we have a large fenced in yard for pups to play, as well as lots of toys and treats. At your home, we will be sure to follow any and all instructions you provide for taking care of your pet as well as your home!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac Mills
Erica is an absolute lifesaver and a phenomenal dog walker! She has been walking King every morning for the past few weeks, and her professionalism is unmatched. She is incredibly punctual, highly responsive to texts, and sends the best daily pictures and updates.King can be reactive around other dogs, especially larger ones, but Erica handles him beautifully and confidently. Her vigilance was proven this morning when an off-leash dog approached them. She immediately prioritized King’s safety, scooped him up to protect him, and kept the situation completely under control until the owner grabbed their dog.She also went above and beyond when King was recently sick and needed a vet visit, giving me detailed health updates on his stool condition so we could track his recovery. Erica is reliable, observant, and deeply cares about the well-being of the dogs she walks. Book her—you won't regret it!
I hired her to care for my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks, and she did a great job. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being. On the first day, an unexpected issue prevented her from getting into my house while I was on a 15-hour flight and unable to respond. She spent a considerable amount of time trying to gain access, repeatedly attempted to contact me, and explored other options because she was genuinely worried about my dog being left inside without care. Although she ultimately had to leave, her persistence and concern showed me that she took the situation—and her responsibility for my dog—very seriously. Throughout the rest of my trip, she was dependable, communicated well, and took good care of my dog. I felt comfortable knowing he was in capable hands and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or pet sitter.
Meghan was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our sweet Toby and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and communicative throughout her visit. She even went above and beyond with a few thoughtful touches that were so appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about both the pets and their owners. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! ❤️🐾
Melissa is absolutely wonderful!!! My dog has only been left alone one time, so I was nervous leaving her for 9 days. But Melissa put all my worries to rest. I really enjoyed receiving the detailed reports and pictures twice a day. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was well cared for. I highly recommend Melissa! I will definitely hire her again for future vacations.
Ariana was fantastic! I was watching my friends dog and she is such a scared dog. She really worked with her and while she couldn’t get her out on the first walk to no fault of hers she took such care of her and it was truly sweet to see that by the end she let her pet her and no issues when she came to walk her and Ali again.
Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.
Stephen did a great job on his first walk with Ana and Elsa! He was punctual, attentive, and made sure they were comfortable right away. It’s always a bit nerve wracking trusting someone new, but he handled everything with care and professionalism. We’re very happy and look forward to more walks with him!

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