About: Hello, I truly love getting to care for and spend time with all different kinds of dogs and cats, and it's my mission to provide you and your pup with the best services and ensure your furballs feel safe and comfortable. If you have a special request or requirement for your pet, I will work with you to customize the services you need. I've always had a dog and cat in my life, and I have lots of experience with all kinds of furry companions. I have cared for big and small dogs, dogs that require daily medicine and/or extra bathroom breaks, dogs that are blind and deaf, dogs that need to wear protective footwear/shoes, and even dogs that wear diapers! My husband and I have four dogs and a cat. They are the loves of my life, and I will treat your dog or cat with the same care. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️❤️❤️ Rover is a part-time job for me. I have a normal office job Monday through Friday but my evenings and weekends are flexible! I live in Woodbridge and can make evening visits to fill food bowls, refresh litter boxes, and hang out and play with your pet to provide stimulation or exercise as needed. My goal is to take care of your cat or dog like you would. I understand that for some pets, they might be cautious and take a little while to get used to a new human, and I take a gentle approach to build trust and confidence with every pet.
“Faith exceeded all expectations! She was attentive and went above and beyond taking care of our dog. She was even nice enough that when our dog broke out of his crate during a visit session, she returned and secured him in our 2nd crate. Could not have been more lucky to find someone as caring and delightful for our dog! Would highly recommend!!!!!”
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.
About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“she was so sweet and kept me informed. when i was sick in bed she was so quiet and Ali was able to get some energy out. she always walked her the whole time and got a mile in.”
“Taylor has been walking Benji for a few months now and she’s incredible. Super communicative and also incredibly flexible with all of our crazy schedules. Benji also loves her and she’s so attentive to him and all of his preferences (like when he decides he’s done walking early).”
“Daisy is so kind with animals and a great communicator. We are blessed to have her help out with our precious dogs. She is professional and thorough with instructions and listens to special needs for optimum results! The girls and I are looking forward to seeing her again soon.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including overnight stays where I have looked after up to 6 dogs at once! I am responsible, patient, and great at following specific instructions to make sure each dog gets the care they need. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, and making sure they are happy and well taken care of while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I’m currently a college student at George Mason University, and I don’t have a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own homes! I’m responsible, respectful of others’ homes, and great at following instructions. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog parent to two pups of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away.

Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I have a flexible schedule and availability throughout the week, which allows me to easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and different feeding or care schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and individual needs. I provide reliable, personalized care right in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable.

About: I'm a former emergency veterinary technician from the University of Florida who loves all animals, but especially dogs! I graduated UF with a degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation but did Animal Sciences for 4 years before switching. I'm good with dogs of all sizes, am firm but still a good playmate, and am comfortable working with dogs both healthy and special needs (dog needs to take a pill? I've got you covered!) If an emergency situation comes up, you can count on me to keep your dog safe. I have a dog of my own who keeps me very active so you won't have to worry about your pooch out running me! Have other pets? No problem! I've worked with all animals, cats, birds (have my own!), reptiles, fish, rodents, you name it! My schedule is flexible so long as I am given time beforehand to coordinate! I am currently in between jobs and am very available, with a reliable car for transportation. I always prefer to meet my clients and their pets beforehand that way I can get a good understanding of what is expected and what I should anticipate. I cannot board animals at my home but am more than happy to come to yours!
About: My experience comes from years of being around and caring for pets belonging to family and close friends. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing so I definitely understand how important it is for your fur babies to feel loved, safe, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Pets are family too and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care and attention. I also have close family and friends connected to the military, so I understand how unpredictable and demanding military life can be. Long workdays and changing schedules can make having reliable pet care especially important. I want to be someone you can count on when life gets busy or plans change. Whether you’re fur baby needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply someone trustworthy to check in on them, I’m happy to help. I’m great at following instructions and paying attention to the little things that make each pet unique. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, affection, and quality care while making your time away easier and giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My main daily commitment is making sure my two kids get on and off the school bus safely and on time, which means I have flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop ins, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. For walks and drop ins, I focus on making each visit fun, safe, and engaging while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience comfortable for both you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for.

I provide personalized care by following each pet's routine, ensuring exercise, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and plenty of love, attention, companionship, and comfort.

Hannah has been walking our dog, King, every single morning for a long time, and I cannot recommend her enough! From day one, she has been completely reliable, punctual, and attentive to all of King’s individual needs. She shows up right on time every morning, and it is obvious how much care and patience she puts into building a genuine, trusting, and loving bond with him. Communication with Hannah is also effortless. Whenever she has a potential schedule change or an upcoming day she won't be available, she always lets me know well ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. Having someone so dependable and communicative gives me total peace of mind every single day. Beyond her outstanding daily care, Hannah truly goes above and beyond. She recently created a sweet painting with King and gifted it to me—something I have always wanted! It now sits right next to my desk where I get to look at it and smile while I work. If you are looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and dedicated dog walker who will treat your pet like family, Hannah is the absolute best.
Toni was wonderful with Ana and Elsa! She was very patient and caring, especially with Ana, who can sometimes be a little stubborn during her walks. 😊 I really appreciated how attentive and understanding Toni was with both of them. I would definitely recommend her!
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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Potomac Mills is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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.

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 Potomac Mills. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Mills 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.

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.

- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
