“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!”
“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'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)
“Maeghan has been so great to work with, and Tiger took to her right away! I appreciate her responsiveness and flexibility, especially with the strange weather recently.”
“Edward was able to help me out with two walks super last minute. He was quick to respond and sent a lot of photos when he took Bailey out. He was also thorough and considerate. Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Tom and Cynthia have been extremely helpful when we’ve needed a last minute dog walker. Tom is fast at responding, which I appreciate. I can tell he takes good care of our dog :)”
“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!”
“Katherine is awesome!! She got back to me super quickly to confirm the dates I needed walks for my dog Batley. She is super communicative and punctual and I love that she sent me updates of their walks. He loves her and can’t wait to see her again!”
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!
“Carole is amazing with my dog. She worked to get my front door open and eventually was able to get in through the garage to get my boy out! She stayed a bit extra to ensure he got his bathroom and walk break in. Thanks!”
About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I have always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and energy levels through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m committed to providing dependable and loving care every time. I’m currently home from college for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending time with animals and will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and walking routines. I’m attentive, responsible, and patient with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether caring for your pet in your home or on a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
About: I've taken care of many different animals growing up and have experience 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 need special or further treatment. I love taking care of pets all day everyday. If i have to care for a pet i'll attend its needs by creating a routined schedule for them daily/weekly My neighborhood has great paths for walks and a dog park near by. My place is also very cozy for play time or attention if needed
“Vinny's very reliable and great with dogs, and has been super helpful to me a few times when I had an issue with either booking a walk or changing a booking. I'd recommend Vinny to anyone.”
About: I have dog sat for various dogs in the past ranging from a small puppy to a larger dog. I love taking them on long walks and playing with them! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time in my schedule! I’m extremely flexible, and can work around other people’s schedules as needed! I would work with habits the client prefers for their animal as I have done in the past. I believe this makes the animal more comfortable in their own home!

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!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 16,200 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
- 96% 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.
