Dog Walkers in Rockville, VA

“Highly Recommend! The Best Dog Walkers You Can Find! Look no further—these are the people you want to welcome into your home to walk your dog! From the moment I started fostering (and likely will fail to give them up!) my new furry friend, I knew I needed someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to help with walks while I’m working long shifts. And I truly lucked out when I found them! They are responsive, communicative, and go above and beyond in every way possible. You can see their genuine love for dogs in everything they do. It’s not just about the walk, it’s about making sure your pup is happy, safe, and well taken care of. Whether it’s playing, giving extra attention, or sending me updates after each walk, they make me feel completely at ease. I also love how they treat my home with the utmost respect, always following instructions and being so considerate of my space. They truly embody the meaning of “dog lovers” and I’m so grateful to have found them. If you want peace of mind knowing that your dog is in great hands and your place is treated with care, these are the dog walkers you need. I hesitate to leave this review because I want to keep them all to myself, but they absolutely deserve all the praise! ⭐️”

“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”

About: I have five years of professional dog care in many different spheres. I have previously managed two different kennels, groomed many dogs around Richmond, and am K9-CPR certified. I have experience training puppies, adults, and seniors basic obedience, leash manners, and beginner agility. I am well versed in administering medications. Prior to working with dogs as a career, I have experience caring for many dogs over my life, from family pets to petsitting in the neighborhood. I am happy to provide enrichment activities for your animal as well, such as bubble play, doga (dog yoga), or drives to hiking locations. I am committed to being completely available for any of your pet needs! My main focus is comfortable care for your critter, no matter how early or late that may be. I feel that years of experience in caring for animals who are being boarded, hanging out at daycare, or getting a stylish spa day have taught me so much in how to interact and build trust with many animals no matter the situation. I believe a combination of patience, kindness, intuition, and some snackos can really foster a safe, positive environment for everybody.

Whether you have a playful pup, a mellow senior, or an anxious rescue, I provide thoughtful, loving care tailored to your pet’s needs. I currently work with flexible hours and love spending time outdoors or snuggling with animals. I’m also detail-oriented and great at following feeding, medication, or walking instructions exactly as given. I grew up with dogs, fish, guinea pigs, geckos, you name it!

I have a flexible schedule with availability during mornings, variable evenings, and weekends, which allows me to give pets the attention and consistency they need. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend drop-in, I prioritize being dependable and communicative for pets and their people. Whether in my home or yours, I treat pets like family — with patience, respect, and intention. I follow all care instructions closely and take time to understand each pet’s unique routines, preferences, and personalities. In a client’s home, I ensure pets feel comfortable in their own space while maintaining cleanliness, boundaries, and security (like locking doors and checking gates). If I care for pets in my home, they’ll have a calm, cozy environment with limited noise, no other pets, plenty of cuddles, and structured downtime. Safety is always at the top of my mind — I never leave pets unattended outside, and I’m careful with food, toys, and household hazards.

About: Hi! I’m Sue, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years—starting with family, friends, and referrals, and now expanding to help more pet parents through Rover. I currently have a one year old sweet Labrador Retriever with a heart condition, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs who need extra attention or medication.

I’m comfortable with all types of dogs—as long as they’re not aggressive and are okay with someone new in their space. If your pet needs medication (oral or topical), I can handle that with care and calm. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll always treat them like my own. I have plenty of availability during the week and some on weekends. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly and make sure I’m available to meet your pet’s needs!

During dog walks, I avoid busy or unsafe areas and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and comfort level. I’m also happy to give updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while your pet is in my care. Clear communication and respect—for both your pets and your home—are very important to me.

“Mary has become our regular dog walker. We are so pleased with her. She is punctual, experienced and caring. When an unleashed dog jumped on ours during a walk, Mary knew just what to do to handle the situation, so neither dog was injured. Best of all, Penny loves her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve taken care of dogs as young as puppies and of senior age. I’m especially well versed with young dogs who may need extra care with training. I’m currently working a job full-time, but the hours are pretty flexible and I also work from home. My work day gives me time to go on walks and run errands when needed. I like to make sure they are leashed properly before they begin their walk, and well equipped with potty bags. I also like to make sure that if other dogs are present, we wait for them to pass or maintain a safe distance before continuing our walk.

Please consider me when looking for a sitter or walker! I am currently employed full-time, M-Th. However, my work day starts at 10am, leaving me with open mornings perfect for drop-ins or walks!
