About: I have always loved being around animals, I started walking dogs when I was 11 around my neighborhood and I have been pet sitting since I was 14 so I’ve had a lot of experience pet sitting/walking dogs! I currently walk dogs Monday through Friday but I am always looking for more🙌🏻 I do online college so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to help anytime, I only need a little heads up!🫶🏻 I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime—to keep them happy and relaxed. I treat every pet and home with respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I also love sending picture updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away! 😊

About: As an owner of two chunky cats, I'm familiar with all kinds of pet care. I brush them, clip their nails, feed them their prescriptions, and scoop their litter box twice a day. I also maintain their sanitary areas and trim their paw pads. I provide a positive attitude and friendly energy to ensure all pets feel safe with me and don't discriminate due to their size or breed. I'm also familiar with vet hospitals and their business hours in my area if ever needed. Any pet is just a friend I haven't met yet! I work remotely, so I'm available most of the time. I prefer a two days notice, but understand emergencies can happen, so I can work with you on short notice too. At this time, I am only able to house a singular cat in an emergency. I have two cats of my own, but one is FAV positive. However, in an emergency situation, I am happy to dedicate a separate room in my home to meet your fur baby safe. In your home, I am happy to walk your pet or scoop their litter, feed them, give them prescriptions if needed, clip their nails or simply cuddle. I can visit periodically. I can play and exercise with any pet, big or small. I also inspect for ticks and tidy up paws after every outing.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs and cats, I'm dedicated to giving every furry friend the love and attention they deserve. I'm here to work closely with you to ensure your pets' unique needs are met with personalized care and affection! As a current full time nursing student at Liberty University, spending time with your pups or kittens offers me a delightful break from my studies. I am in class/clinical Monday and Thursday's so I have a variety of days to provide your precious pets with the attention and care they deserve. While caring for pets in your home, I am to prioritize maintaining their routine while you are away. I follow the instructions left closely and ensure they receive the same level of care and attention as if you were there! This includes: * Feeding and hydration: I will follow your pet's feeding schedule and dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water at all times. * Exercise and Play: I engage in their favorite activities and walks to keep them well exercised and happy. Of course, adjusting according to their energy levels, and preferences. * Health and Hygiene: I monitor the health of your sweet pet, note any changes and immediately notify you, the owner, at the sign of any discomfort or illness. I also will attend to basic grooming such as brushing. * Companionship: Most importantly, I will provide plenty of love and attention to your furry companion! I will do my best to keep them company and ensure that they feel secure and loved as there owner is away. When a pet stays in my home, I create a warm, welcoming and safe environment for them that mimics their home life as closely as possible. My approach is as follows: * Comfort and Safety: I ensure that your pet has a designated place to relax, with cozy bedding and a secure area where they can feel at ease. * Routine Feeding, Hydration and Grooming: I will stick to the pet's regular feeding schedule and dietary requirements and their grooming routine as instructed. * Daily Activities: I will follow the pet's normal exercise and playtime amount into my daily routine - ensuring both mental and physical stimulation to keep your pet happy! * Health Monitoring: During their stay, I will keep a close eye on their overall behavior and health and am prepared to reach out to a vet if needed. (The closest 24hr Emergency Vet being only 8 minuets from my location!) In both settings, I aim to do what is the absolute best for your pet! My goal is to provide for your four-legged friend with a caring, attentive and safe environment that meets their needs.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

About: I have always been an animal lover, and my job has shown me how to specially care for each and every special baby. Two years in veterinary medicine gave me the experience to confidently handle medications, diabetic care, and reactive pets. I adore even your misunderstood animals and would love to send lots of photos, videos, and updates on your pets if allowed! I am not currently working a set job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am actively looking for employment while continuing to provide pet-sitting services on the side. Because my schedule is currently flexible, I am able to accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs and prioritize giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. When boarding pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where each animal feels at ease. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and follow any specific routines or instructions from their owners. I also make sure they get proper meals, medication if needed, and regular bathroom breaks. I live in a very rural, quiet part of Bedford in the middle of the woods, so along with a large yard, we have many trails, with plenty of space to run or go on leashed walks! I love sending updates with photos or videos so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.

About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.

About: Hi there! Thanks for considering me to take care of your pet. I have a very flexible schedule so can accommodate most requests. I am not offering in home sitting but can take care of pups overnight in my home as I have a fenced in yard, crate and a very friendly Aussie doodle. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats, dogs, chickens, goats and guinea hens. I learned from a young age how to take care of animals. We had 9 family dogs over my lifetime and probably 30+ cats (indoor and outdoor). I have taken personal responsibility to feed/ walk and take care of our animals and I’ve house sat and watched pet for others over the years as well. I understand that I am taking care of a member of your family and I will always treat them with the love and care that they need. I have worked as a volunteer at an animal shelter so I have experience working with animals that have experienced trauma, neglect, and abuse. I love to get pets outside as much as I can on walks or to play if this is an option for your pet. I am new to Rover and would be happy to give you more personal references if needed.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Powhatan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Powhatan is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 381 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Powhatan. 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 Powhatan. 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 Powhatan 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 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 Powhatan. On Rover:

  • 91% 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 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.
