“Christine is the best! She is responsive, communicative and gives nice long walks. My dog is always happy to see her. I feel confident that my sweet pooch is cared for with Christine. I Highly recommend her.”
“My two dogs really enjoy their time with Anna! She goes above and beyond to accommodate last minute requests and it’s very nice knowing I have someone I can trust to be with my fur babies.”
“Franky has been walking my 57 lb, 12 year old boxer/lab mix for a week now and I’m very pleased. He asked good questions at our meet n greet before the first walk and is taking excellent care of my girl. He’s super nice and clearly loves dogs and knows how to treat them well. 5 stars.”
About: I currently work at a dog rescue. I volunteered as a dog washer at the humane society for a year. I pet sat relatives dogs in their home. I know how to respect dogs boundaries. Right now my schedule is somewhat flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am unavailable on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 4pm to 730pm. I am respectful of everyone’s home and treat it how I’d want a pet sitter to treat my own. I know the signs to take it slow with dogs and cats.
“Deb is so wonderful! She’s so reliable and takes wonderful care of our dog. She sends thorough updates and lots of pictures. It gives us peace of mind to know that she’s taking care of him while we’re away!”
“Mary is great. My dog loves her. She takes her for walks twice a week. She is always reliable and sends me detailed descriptions of their adventures on each walk. I highly recommend Mary for any walking services.”
“My dog stayed with me for a few months and because of my job, it's hard for me to predict when I will need a dog walker in advance. Despite my many last minute asks, Edward K. helped me by taking care of Oreo. His communication was great. The pictures he sent indicated that Oreo really liked him and had a great walk each time. Most importantly when I got home I could tell that Oreo's walk with Edward made him more peaceful and settled during my long days away from him. Oreo is going back to live with his family in Ohio for a season but I just wanted to thank Edward publically for helping out in this really meaningful way!”
“Keila was so amazing and patient with Ollie ! She went above and beyond to make sure Ollie was comfortable with her and he’s always tired after their walks. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”
“I highly recommend Alison as a dog walker. She was responsible, communicative, attentive to my requests, and went above and beyond to make my two pups comfortable while we were gone for three days. Overall, we had an amazing experience.”
“As always, Maya was so great with our dog Rudy! Rudy has always been quite nervous leaving our place on walks, but Maya has made such great progress with him! She provides great updates and responds super fast! :)”
About: I love animals of all kind! I had pets growing up and as an adult. I have also done a lot of pet sitting for my family and friends. I have also done many "Sniff Abouts" for the local animal shelter. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs of all sizes. Though I've never owned a cat, I have loved the times I get to pet sit them as well. I'll treat your fur baby like part of the family! I'm a stay at home mom with a husband who works from home so my schedule is very open. I'm very flexible and can work around most anything. We treat our own pets like members of our family and I'll do the same for yours. Our pets are special and deserve the absolute best care!
About: I have experience taking care of pets in daily life, including feeding, walking, and basic care. I am very responsible, patient, and detail-oriented. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m also comfortable with different personalities, including shy or energetic pets, and I treat every pet like my own. I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment for pets in my condo. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I have easy access to nearby walking trails and a dog-friendly park, which are great for regular walks and outdoor time. I always supervise pets closely and ensure they are leashed and safe when outside. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules and special needs. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.
About: I have experienced taking care of many different animals growing up, when it comes to taking care of pets. I volunteered at shelters in my free time and can easily read body language. I can also do more research if your pets needs special or further treatment. I usually will ask for your pets daily routine instructions and fix my schedule around it. If i have to care for a pet i'll attend its needs by creating a routined schedule for them daily/weekly. I like to make sure every pet is comfortable around me and has a safe place to relax. I always make sure I'm close by or to at least keep an eye on your pet. Even tho i love to also cuddle and play, if your pet prefers to have their own boundaries, I'll make sure to respect them. I'll usually leave out their daily essentials for them (whatever is needed) toys, water, food, etc. And will follow whatever instructions you have for me!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reston
Jill is a fantastic caretaker. My dog gets excited whenever she sees her and Bruce (her rescue pup). She is very responsive and timely when it comes to communication, and she is very thorough making sure all needs are met for our pup. Can not recommend her enough!
I had plans fall through with late notice and needed a few days of dog walks for my 7mo puppy who is going through his second fear phase. Plus, there wasn’t time to meet Kendall ahead of time, or even be there when she met him for the first time. She did an AWESOME job easing in with my pup and getting his trust so quickly, and the second day he was already excited waiting for her return. Feeling so relieved and grateful for her, and this first experience with Rover in general.

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 Reston. 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.

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.
