My dog doesn’t like strangers that much absolutely fell in love with Bradley on the first visit. Brad really cares about dogs and their well-being. He’s definitely not in it for a paycheck, but for the betterment of the dog. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. 5*’s

Maddie A. is an outstanding pet sitter. She provided exceptional care for Percy while I was away at a concert, keeping me updated with regular check-ins throughout the stay. She was incredibly professional, and it was clear that Percy was in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.

About: I have always had a strong love for both dogs and cats and experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins. I’m comfortable with puppies, kittens, and senior pets, and I always focus on making animals feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and will keep you updated while you’re away. I love making connections with each pet and giving them lots of love and the best care possible! I'm currently working part time which leads me to lots of flexibility and lots of time to spend with your pets. I am available any time of the day depending on what my schedule entails in that specific week! I currently have two rescue cats in my home but have grown up with both cats and dogs of all different breeds since I was a young ('ve never not had a pet!). I think it's so important to give pets lots of love no matter whose they are. With having experience with both cats and dogs I have may expierence with crating or not crating dogs, going on walks, specific feeding times, play time, and just giving the pet some company!

Lauren is great. I had already booked Lauren to come on a specific day where both my husband and I work long hours. On this day, my chronic illness appeared which sometimes keeps me bedridden so Lauren kept the appointment anyway and walked Mabel. I felt such relief because I feel guilty about not giving Mabel the outdoor time and exercise that she needs when I become ill. Lauren is so dependable and Mabel clearly enjoys her.

Molly has been walking bowser for just over a year now and he just absolutely adores her! She’s very attentive when it comes to your dogs needs and letting you know if there’s anything out of the ordinary. She’s always been always to help out last minute if it was needed or stop by again if I had to work late. She truly makes being a pet owner so much less stressful knowing you have someone with them who cares for them as much as you do when you’re away!

Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or patient care while you're away, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attention I give to my own. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine.

About: Hello! I’m experienced with boarding tasks (feeding, administering medications, etc.), basic training, and in-home pet care. While I can't host pets at my place, I love coming to yours for walks, backyard play sessions, and overnight stays. **Dogs:** Happy to tire them out with walks, play, and potty breaks. **Cats:** Patient and gentle — I'll take the time to earn their trust. Previously worked with a small pet care business visiting clients' homes, so I'm comfortable following your specific instructions and treating your space with respect. Your pet stays happy at home. You stay worry-free. It’s a win-win! I’m currently working part-time at a dog kennel so I’m usually working 2-3, 8 hour or 6 hour shifts a week. If asked about requests in advance, I may be able to request time off to accommodate client needs. I don’t have the room to board dogs or cats in my current situation, however I am very experienced with boarding tasks and basic training. I absolutely love taking walks or just doing some play sessions in the backyard and enjoy getting kitties to warm up to me. I would mainly be looking for walks/play and potty visits, or pet sitting in the owner’s home.

About: My name is Ashlee. I love animals, I’m excited to use this platform to help people care for their four-legged family members! I love all kinds of animals, dogs are my favorite; especially big ones! Looking forward to helping you and your family get the care you need for your furry friends! I love long strolls on the sidewalk, kitty snuggles, and especially slobbery kisses! Haha I also have a lot of experience with cats if that’s also a need, I have two at home, Tucker and Alora! Hopefully they don’t mind the new smells I’ll be bringing home! Thank you! :) I’m currently working part time at a restaurant on the weekends but I’m at home with my kids the rest of the time! I have free time and extra love to go around! I can pop-in for visits while you’re away, take them on walks. I could even bring them to my house if they were okay with cats. We’re getting a fence later this spring so when that happens it will be even easier to bring a dog into my home. I also have two kiddos with lots of love to share!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Richmond

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Richmond on Rover is $33.3 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 1,721 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Richmond. 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 Richmond. 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 Richmond.

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 Richmond. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
