About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through spending time with my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and helping her take care of her. I also regularly help care for my brother’s three dogs by taking them outside to use the bathroom, giving them time to play, and occasionally taking them on walks. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are cared for. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and responsible when looking after someone’s pets, and I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give to the animals in my own life. I am currently serving on active duty in the Marine Corps and stationed in Virginia. I am typically available on weekdays after 5 PM and have more flexibility on weekends. I will communicate clearly with pet parents to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize making sure the pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience helping care for my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and my brother’s three dogs. I will follow each pet parent’s instructions, pay attention to their pet’s needs, and provide regular updates. Whether we are going for walks, playing outside, or spending time together.

About: When you're looking for someone to take care of your babies while you're out of town or working long hours, you want someone who will treat them like family — exactly like you would. That's what I do. I'm Erica, a full-time house & pet sitter with over 8 years of pet care experience. I'm a Rover Star Sitter with 35 repeat clients who book me again and again because their pets are happy, their home is respected, and they never have to worry while they're away. I offer house sitting, boarding, doggy day care, drop-in visits, and dog walking across Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Woodbridge — for dogs and cats, multi-pet homes included. Here's what you can expect with me: ✅ Daily photo & message updates, so you always know how your pet is doing ✅ Fast, clear communication — I respond in minutes, not hours ✅ Your pet's routine followed exactly: feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime ✅ Experience with senior dogs, oral medication, anxious pets, and high-energy pets ✅ Flexible scheduling — including short-notice bookings when I'm available And if I'm house sitting in your home, I'll leave it just as I found it — my clients regularly tell me it was cleaner when they got home than when they left. Your pet won't just be “watched” with me. They'll be loved, exercised, and kept on their routine until you're back home. While I'm on the job, your pet is 100% the center of my focus and never ignored. I'm very attentive to each animal's individual needs — whether that's walks and throwing the ball for an active dog, or pets and quiet company for an older dog who can't exercise much. I follow your care instructions to the letter, including medication, and I'll always let you know right away if anything comes up.

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

I highly recommend Dayonna. She is communicative, keeps you up to date on the walk, and sends photos, too. Don't miss an opportunity for your furbaby to get the best attention.”

About: I have a love for animals that has driven me to seek out experiences and advice that has helped me gain an abundance of pet care knowledge, despite growing up without any furry friends. I am a young and active person, able to keep up with the most energetic of dogs. I am also quite detail-oriented, and will follow your pet care details to a T, ensuring your pet is happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I am able to care for your pet morning, afternoon, or evening! If I am unable to do so, I will ensure to respond to your message promptly. I will not be able to let your pet into my own home due to some of my family members having allergies. In your home, I will remain respectful of your space and follow any given care instructions perfectly to ensure a happy and healthy pet!

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.

About: Hi! I’m Becca, a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and medical needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, providing personalized care so your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own home while you’re away. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, medication administration (when needed), and plenty of love and attention. Every pet has a unique personality, so I tailor my care to match their routine and individual needs. My experience working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for healthy pets as well as seniors, puppies and kittens, anxious pets, and those requiring medications or special care. I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and know when something may require prompt veterinary attention. I’ve also cared for multiple-pet households and understand the importance of keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule. I do my best to work around my classes and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need occasional care or a consistent sitter, I’ll do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn about their personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before every booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout each visit to give you peace of mind. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule.

About: My experience in pet care began at 15 years old when I took some neighbors dogs for walks. The types of dogs I walked were a greyhound, a collie and an Australian shepherd. My next petcare job was the summer after my junior in college when I cat sat a persian named Mimi for a professor who went on a long vacation. Mimi was sad when her owner left, but I gave her lots of love, and we formed a strong bond. The summer after I pet sat a great dane and an american bulldog, and they were big teddy bears and lap dogs. Sometimes they would even sleep at my feet at night. Years later towards the winter of 2014, I pet sat for a client later turned friend who travelled 3 months to Antartica for his job. His furry companions were a black named Fred and a golden named Ginger: both of them what I called the sweetest dogs in the world. I did everything there is to pet sitting and even took them to the vet for a regular check-up and the groomers. It was around this time I lost my main job I had and was very distraught. They sensed this and they did things like come upstairs to check on me to see if I was ok, sit on my lap and watch tv with me, shower me with lots of doggie kisses, sleep by my side or by my feet in bed etc. I joined Rover in late 2018, and I had a handful of families that made me their designated pet sitter because of the quality care and love I give. Their pets actually got sad (and so did I) when I had to leave after their owners returned, but were enthusiastic when I arrived to care for them again. During 2019-early 2023, I worked for a pet care company called Becky's Pet Care where I cared for a plethora of animals such as dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and chickens. However, due to their failure of maintaining health and safety standards of employees, I decided to branch out on my own and rejoin Rover. I have several clients and hope to get a few more clients because caring for animals is extremely rewarding. They are my best friends. NOTE ABOUT MY RATES: -For doggie walks and drop in visits my rates are $15 for a 20 minute visit, $25 for a 30, $35 for a 45 and $50 for an hour and beyond. I also offer in-home pet sitting, and my rates are on my profile. I will stay with your animals for the majority of the day and only leave if I have other dog walks/drop in visits, to do the trivia shows I host Wednesdays, or to drive for Uber and Lyft for a few hours on the days I don't have my shows. -I do not charge extra for multiple pets when it comes to dog walks and drop in visits, however, I ask you be realistic on how long you think a timed visit will take. For example: feeding and walking two dogs, then feeding cats and scooping their litter boxes will take longer than 20 minutes. I do charge extra for additional pets when it comes to staying over, but it's only $10 for each additional dog and $5 for each additional cat. If you have multiple animals where it's something like one dog and two cats, then I will $50 for the dog and $5 for each cat. -I DO NOT charge extra if your fur baby is...well...a puppy. Lol. Puppies are a riot: full of energy and lots of love. I know some pet care professionals do, but I don't. -I DO NOT charge extra if your dog has special needs. Guess what? I do too!! I have tremendous anxiety sometimes and have to exercise. Other people might charge extra, but I don't. -I sometimes request to be paid half up front if its an EXREMELY long pet sitting request. You can simply leave a check or cash on a table for me when I arrive to start pet sitting for you. With that said, I send lots of photos, videos and texts through the WhatsApp or through text, even without a request, so you know your furbabies are well taken care of. I'm currently working for myself and can easily fit taking excellent care of your furbabies into my schedule. In fact, I may be working for myself for a while. I drive for Uber and Lyft. I will take care of your furbabies like the cuddly precious angels they are. I will only give them food and treats you approve. I will make sure they get proper exercise and will give them lots of love. I will also make sure there's no aggressive rough housing if you have more than one dog. Or even cat.

Shana was a pure delight! Shana walked Brooklyn for me while I was out of town - sometimes once a day and others twice a day. Brooklyn is slow to warm up to new people but she fell in love with Shana nearly immediately because of Shana's gentle and reassuringly manner. Shana is my new favorite Rover sitter for Brooklyn.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Quantico

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Quantico is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $29 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 11,008 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Quantico. 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 Quantico. 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 Quantico 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 Quantico. 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 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.
