About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

“Becky was a very big help and did a great job stopping by and taking my pup for a walk around the neighborhood. She took good care of Ace and made sure to provide pictures and good feedback on how the walk went. I will be happy to have her care for my pup again!”

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up. Dogs are life companions! I’ve taken care after my own dogs of course and family members as well. I’m the first person they call to see if I’m available to watch over their fur babies. I tend to make friends with dogs at a function quicker than I do with humans. I take care after my own animals through sickness and health and try to give them the world. They deserve the best! I am free during the week and weekend. Reach out at anytime and we can work out whatever you need for your fur baby/babies. I take care of any fur baby as if they are my own ! Depending on the owners wants and needs for their pup I will always do my best to do what they want for them.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for a puppy, so I understand the patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs require. I know that every dog has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions carefully. During walks and drop-in visits, I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving loving and responsible care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to walks and drop-in visits. I am available during weekdays and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or early evening visits. I can also offer some weekend availability when scheduled in advance. Having pets of my own has already made feeding, walking, playtime, and attentive care an important part of my everyday life. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives dependable, unrushed, and personalized attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, routines, and any special needs. Before every walk, I make sure the leash, collar, or harness is properly secured, and I remain alert to traffic, weather conditions, other animals, and anything that could make the pet uncomfortable. During drop-in visits, I respect the client’s home and privacy. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, and I never leave a pet outside unattended. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment while giving each pet personalized attention. I will also send photos and detailed updates so pet parents know their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: My experience as a dog sitter has begun sitting in the homes of dear friends – and this has taught me that I love caring for pets in their homes and seeing to it that they are well cared for while they “parents” are away. I currently work full-time for the Marine Corps Monday through Friday 7 AM to 4 PM, but I can come to your home during my lunch break for potty breaks as required. Weekends of course I am totally available. I will care for your pets in your home where they feel comfortable and safe. As I have begun my pet care experiences in the homes of dear friends I can assure you that I will treat your home as you would like it to be cared for when you are away.

About: When you're looking for someone to take care of your babies while you're out of town or working long hours, you want someone who will treat them like family — exactly like you would. That's what I do. I'm Erica, a full-time house & pet sitter with over 8 years of pet care experience. I'm a Rover Star Sitter with 35 repeat clients who book me again and again because their pets are happy, their home is respected, and they never have to worry while they're away. I offer house sitting, boarding, doggy day care, drop-in visits, and dog walking across Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Woodbridge — for dogs and cats, multi-pet homes included. Here's what you can expect with me: ✅ Daily photo & message updates, so you always know how your pet is doing ✅ Fast, clear communication — I respond in minutes, not hours ✅ Your pet's routine followed exactly: feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime ✅ Experience with senior dogs, oral medication, anxious pets, and high-energy pets ✅ Flexible scheduling — including short-notice bookings when I'm available And if I'm house sitting in your home, I'll leave it just as I found it — my clients regularly tell me it was cleaner when they got home than when they left. Your pet won't just be “watched” with me. They'll be loved, exercised, and kept on their routine until you're back home. While I'm on the job, your pet is 100% the center of my focus and never ignored. I'm very attentive to each animal's individual needs — whether that's walks and throwing the ball for an active dog, or pets and quiet company for an older dog who can't exercise much. I follow your care instructions to the letter, including medication, and I'll always let you know right away if anything comes up.

About: I’ve been working with pets ever since I was 12 walking them feeding them and taking care of them. I love taking care of pets no matter if it’s cats or dogs I love them all. I am currently working part-time and also a part-time student but I love being outside and going on walks with dogs and taking care of cats just by stopping. I have a pretty decent backyard that is fully gated off and I have two amazing and playful dogs yo-yo and Scooby. They are the cutest dogs ever and another small little furball named Cleo and she is just so adorable.

About: Hey there! I’m Allie. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and my goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I always recommend a meet and greet so we can get acquainted and make sure I’m the perfect fit for your pets. I like to take the time to sit down, get to know both you and your pets, and answer any questions you may have. I moved to North Carolina from Virginia in 2019 when my husband’s military service brought us here. Since then, I’ve been pet sitting full time while completing my college studies. At home, we share our lives with our dog and two cats, who inspire me every day to provide loving, dependable care for all pets. I’ve spent my life around animals and have worked professionally in nearly every area of pet care, including animal hospitals, boarding facilities, grooming salons, and in-home pet sitting. These experiences allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. Including administering medications and providing extra support for pets with medical or behavioral needs. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, goats, and horses. If I haven’t worked with a species yet, I’m always eager to learn. No two animals are alike, and I love discovering what makes each one special so I can provide care tailored to their personality and needs. I am very flexible and able to provide your pets lots of quality time. 30 Minute Drop in: This is a quick visit to check in on your pet. I’ll let them out for a potty break, refresh food and water, give any needed meds or treats, and spend time playing or cuddling. I’ll send you photos and updates along the way. Perfect for a midday break or some company while you’re away. Overnight Stay: Your pet will have company and care throughout the night. I’ll follow your evening routine with dinner, a potty break, any meds, playtime, then stay overnight for supervision and comfort. In the morning, I’ll handle breakfast, another potty break, and fresh water, while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Light home care, like checking mail or plants, can also be included. Ideal for pets who need extra comfort and prefer staying in their own home. When caring for others pets I treat them as my own. Whatever your pet needs, I'll happily accommodate them to the best of my ability. I always triple check doors are locked when I leave, and that there is nothing in reach that could be harmful to your pets. (human food, dog treats, toys etc)

About: Good day I am a military wife that has been helping other families with their pets in time of need. I hate to have to board my pets in a place where no one is there to play with them and spoil them.

Please feel feel to contact me to help with your furry friends. Thank you I job is currently making this my full time job.

About: My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel like they’re in loving hands . I’ve been around dogs and cats most of my childhood well into adulthood and I can honestly say I truly love interacting with and caring for them. I currently work , but my schedule is pretty flexible and why not fill it with doing something I can enjoy doing? Loving for and caring on fur babies. I would follow whatever structure you currently have with your pet , it seems that usually is the most efficient . Again your fur babies would be in the greatest care with me.

About: I've grown up around animals all shapes,sizes and personalities and have grown to love them all. I don't mind the more "in your face" fur babies (literally and figuratively) and have plenty of energy to keep up with them or address any of their needs. I work a pretty standard 8am-3pm schedule and free on weekends to provide pet care. I also live an active lifestyle and frequent the local parks for runs, so I do not mind a furry companion tagging along. I understand every pet is different and their personality may vary from person to person. So, I am open to visiting beforehand to make sure you and your fur baby are comfortable and that trust is established.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, etc. At home I have two dogs and a cat, but I’m open to taking care of any types of pets! I’ve watched my neighbors, friends, and family’s pets for a couple hours to a couple of days. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech, so my schedule is very flexible right now. While in Blacksburg I worked at an animal clinic that gave me more hands on experience with different types of animals! I will always make it a priority to ask if there are any specific needs or instructions for the pet I am taking care of. I make sure that I give the animal I am watching extra attention, so they can feel as comfortable as possible with me, while their owner is away!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and care for animals of all ages! I have experience caring for both young pets and senior pets, and I understand that each has their own unique needs and personalities. Whether it's giving extra patience and attention to playful puppies and kittens or providing gentle, loving care to older pets who may need a little extra support, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give them the same love, attention, and care they receive at home. Your pet's happiness and well-being will always be my top priority! ❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I'm able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving them the attention they deserve. I can also be flexible with scheduling and do my best to accommodate your pet's normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I love doing, not just a job. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, fresh water, meals on schedule, and potty breaks. I also understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my care to fit their age, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers relaxing and snuggling, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Skidmore Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Skidmore Corner is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $20 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,858 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Skidmore Corner. 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 Skidmore Corner. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Skidmore Corner after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Skidmore Corner. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
