About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)
“Christine took great care of Neiman. She was always on time (early even!) and at the end of her time Neiman was running downstairs to meet her. I will be sure to call her again. Thank you so very much.”
“Anna did great with Indy. She met him before his walk which made both of us comfortable. Each day Anna walked him I came home to a relaxed and happy golden retriever. Definitely recommend her and will request her again.”
About: We are a dependable mother–daughter pet sitting team with 30 years of combined pet care and training experience. We have cared for a wide variety of animals, including small and large dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, birds, fish, and other pets. We have puppy training experience and know how to gently reinforce good habits, routines, and leash manners -- through TLC and patience, gentle handling and understanding that every pet has its own personality, pace, and needs. We are energetic pet owners ourselves and are comfortable exercising pets in both urban and suburban settings. We treat every pet with the same loving care, attention, and affection we give our own. So give us a call if you need trusted, reliable, or flexible pet-sitting, even on short notice! Mom is primary pet sitter, with daughter often assisting. We are currently working flexible hours and one of us is out of school for the summer, so we have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your pups! We are experienced dog walkers comfortable caring for pets in urban, suburban, park, and country settings. Whether your dog enjoys neighborhood walks, park outings, or a calmer pace, we adjust to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. For pet sitting in our home, we have a gated kitchen area where pets can stay safely with us, as well as a fenced patio where they can get fresh air and companionship. We can also crate your pet if that is part of their normal routine or helps them feel secure.
About: I love all animals but specifically cats and dogs. I've had cats my whole life and I've cared for my friends dogs the past few years. If training your dog to do tricks is something you're interested in let me know! I'm happy to help. My schedule is very flexible so please message me so that we can work out a date and time, I'm free basically any time except for Wednesday 1-2 pm. I love giving animals plenty of attention and love. Im very patient with animals no matter how aggressive they are, and I'm always calm around nervous animals. If training is something you would like me to do please message me so we can talk about the details!
“We have two mini dachshunds and Maeghan did a great job. We had her come in to walk our dogs one hour each day while we were on vacation. She showed up one time and adjusted for outdoor temperatures and dog attitude about walking. She sent pictures daily with a message, which made our vacation more relaxing as we could see they were in good hands. We will definitely hire her again.”
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.
“Sophia was amazing! So sweet and patient and kind. Being away from my two furbabies made me anxious and worried, but Sophia took a lot of pictures and kept updating me on how they were doing. She even kept the same routine that I do with my dogs, which helped! I ended up feeling so relieved and less worried. Will definitely book again for the future! :)”
About: Hi I’m Todd a recently retired professional looking to fill my schedule with caring for both dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so no rushing off to an office or leaving your pet alone for long hours. I provide reliable, calm, and attentive care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am highly responsible, communicative, and ready to follow your pet's specific routine as needed. There are many paths around my house, which are great for walking dogs. I am not working so I am very flexible in terms of my schedule. I am usually available during most times of the day or even on short notice if needed. I live in a three level townhouse in Reston with a deck and a small backyard that backs to woods. I do not have any pets of my own, but several of my neighbors have pets.
“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!”
“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”
“Carole was great! Arrived on time, my dog was excited to see her and they had a good wander around the neighborhood. She took time with him during the meet and greet to get to know him as he can be anxious. All went well. Plan to book reoccurring walks with Carole!”
“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!”
“Just wanted to do a new update on my review with Delaney. She has been walking my dogs for almost 3 years now. She is still wonderful with them, very dependable, and very trusted. I have been lucky to have her since I moved to Virginia from Florida and my dogs love her so much too!! It’s definitely hard to find someone to trust with my dogs and having access to my home even when I’m not around but she is definitely the best and most trustworthy person I have had!”
About: I am a life-long pet owner, with a loving cat. I see pets as important members of our families. Their safety and care is my first priority. Previously, I volunteered regularly with Little Buddies Adoption and Humane Society. I since worked at Olde Towne Pet Resort as a pet care associate, and later moved to work with their corporate office. I have a soft spot for shy pets, who need a bit of time and care to feel safe. I am certified in Pet Nutrition through the UC Davis Veterinary program at the University of California, from my time working at PetValu. AVAILABILITY My hours are flexible. I will strive to work around your schedule. MEDICATIONS I have experience helping sick cats, including through oral medication, insulin shots and subcutaneous fluids. If your pet is people-shy, I would love to take the time to get to know them and let them feel safe around me before administering any medications. DOG WALKING I love dogs in all shapes, sizes and temperaments, but have relatively limited experience compared to my extensive work with cats. If you are looking for care for a dog with aggressive tendencies, I would recommend looking for a different sitter. I am currently job searching and pursuing a security + cert. I schedule my job searching and studying around my cat sitting hours, which affords some flexibility. I exclusively care for pets in my clients' homes, as my own cat needs a safe, solo environment. I am respectful of the space, and will spend my time devoted to your particular pets needs (whether that's play, affection, or just side by side coexisting).

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!
Anna is an amazing dog walker. She can handle big dogs like my German Shepherd. She’s always super communicative and is willing to accommodate to any special requests you might have. You can definitely trust your loved one with her — could not recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Reston on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 16,191 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Reston. 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 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Reston.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Reston. On Rover:
- 89% 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 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.
