“jenifer was great with our eight month old puppy Tate. I appreciate her being patient and flexible and we are looking forward to working with her more in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Vana and I am a remote worker in DC. I joined this service for some extra money and to meet and play with people's pets! I've taken care of animals all my life, from cats to dogs to guinea pigs to horses. I cared for/owned horses for four years (no big dog is too scary!), have had cats all my life, and had a hyper Aussie and sweet beagle of my own. I can take care of the youngest puppy to the oldest dog and my puppy days certainly hardened me for non-stop playtime and bountiful walks. I know how important pets are to every family and will treat your fur baby as I would my own. If you're interested in dog walking, drop-ins, or house sitting then feel free to message me and we can work something out. Due to my flexible remote/hybrid schedule, I’m available for all-day sitting at your home with frequent potty breaks and walks for a per diem rate, or can do drop-ins throughout the day. I also have overnight availability with advance (3+ days) notice. Thank you! As a hybrid worker, I have a flexible schedule and I am able to schedule my work around pet care. If I house sit then I remain at the house for most of the day and take care of the animals there, making sure to never leave them for more than a few hours. For drop-ins and walking, I make sure to build my daily schedule around those visits. I follow all instructions laid out to me by the owners and make sure the animals get their play while being safe and secure. I make sure to follow potty and food schedules, and ensure dogs get their daily exercise if it’s needed.
“Genevieve is amazing with our dog Louis!! She is super friendly, responsive, and always on time, and she provides helpful details in her reports on every walk. Our dog is BEYOND excited to see her every time she comes to pick him up, which is always the best sign. We highly recommend Genevieve to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and absolutely adore caring for and walking/running/playing/cuddling with any and all animals! I’d love to care for your pet and hopefully brighten their day the same way they’re sure to brighten mine! As a cat owner, i make sure to follow a routine every day with feeding, cleaning after, playing with and challenging my cats! When a I’m living with dogs I will create a daily routine to walk and play with them! I will care for anybody’s pet with the same respect and caution i care for my own! Understanding their behavior and personality is the biggest key! Will be vigilant and communicative with their owner!
“Hired for two walks, 30 min each. The first was fine. The second she came and went in 16 minutes and said she “made it a quick one because she had walked my dog earlier.” Huh? Not sure what that was about….”
About: I am a huge dog lover and enjoy walking and playing with dogs in the neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own and enjoy their company. I'm currently working part time and can work with your schedule for dog sitting, walking and more. I just recently graduated college last year and I am looking for work. I am able to take care of trained small and medium sized dogs in my family home, where I have a fenced in backyard, neighborhood for walking and a dog friendly space. My own pup is a cavapoo and very friendly.
“Jesica took excellent care of our pug! She was a pleasure to work with in setting up the walking schedule, showed up on time, took our dog on long walks at his pace, gave thorough and thoughtful feedback on the Rover cards, and made the process seamless. I will definitely look to use her services again when needed.”
About: Hi I’m Rainy! My family and I have two dogs Skip and Snow. Skip was 15 years old when she passed away and Snow is a 10-year-old gentle lady. Growing up with them has been the best thing ever for me as a child. I also dog sit for my friends and family since I was little. I enjoy being around them! I work as a full-time nurse, doing three 12-hour shift per week. My schedule depends on the staffing, working weekdays mostly with rotating weekends. But I do have 4 days off per week to be flexible. I adapt fast in different environments and can accommodate the needs of your dogs. I have experience in taking care of puppies and senior dogs, which I understand the difference in energy and needs.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, and now I’m the designated ‘dog sitter on call’ for all my family and friends, basically the fun uncle for every pup I meet. I’m available pretty much every weekend, most holidays, and even some weekdays and I live in a pet-friendly building surrounded by green areas perfect for playtime. I live in a pet-friendly building surrounded by green areas perfect for playtime and lots spaces for pups to explore and have fun outdoor time
“Katie did a great job walking our dog. She was punctual. Communication was terrific. Most importantly , our dog was comfortable with her and had a really good walk. I would use her again.”
“Juliana has been absolutely wonderful! We hired her to walk our dog (Merlin) while we were visiting family for the holidays in the Chevy Chase area, and we could not imagine a better experience! She was attentive and caring with our 2 year old (high energy) pup, and she communicated very well with us about scheduling and about how Merlin did on his walks. Juliana was also incredibly helpful to us, with her willingness to adjust Merlin’s schedule to fit our evolving vacation plans. We consider ourselves lucky to have discovered Juliana and will definitely look her up again the next time we come for a visit 😁”
“Celeste was very easy to communicate with and left a thorough report card of their walk every day. Celeste arrived right on time to take Remy for a long walk and even took him to the park to play fetch. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Elysia! Nice to meet you! I’m new to Rover, but not to taking care of pets! I’m a recent college biology graduate preparing for medical school and I’ve been taking care of my neighbor’s pets since I was in middle school. I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats (young & old & many different breeds) for multiple days, including overnight sitting and of course, drop-ins and going on walks! I would love to be your next sitter and your pet’s new friend!! I’m currently in an accelerated graduate program, so my weekday schedule can be busy. I’m generally available for early-morning walks and overnight stays, with more flexibility on weekends! I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and loved while you are away! I will treat them like family, follow their usual routine, respect your home, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease!
“Taylor was great to work with! She was communicative / responsive (i.e., messaging when she was on her way over) and very warm with our pup, Mochi. We will definitely be working with her again!”
About: I've had dogs almost my whole life and now I have my own and can’t forget my cat! I love being with animals and taking care of them. I'm completely free on the weekends and able to check in when needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Somerset
Elizabeth has been a wonderful help with my little dog, Pepper, as I recover from knee replacement surgery. She established a good relationship with Pepper right away, and Pepper, who usually resists walking g with anyone but me, trots right out with Elizabeth. In addition, she is right on time each day, and has been flexible about exact timing of their daily walks. I highly recommend her!
Lindsay is absolutely great! This was my first time using Rover, and she had been incredibly patient and helpful throughout everything. She took the time to explain everything clearly and kept me updated with great communication. You can genuinely tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely recommend Lindsay and would happily book with her again!
Haley is an exceptional dog walker! She has gone above and beyond for me and my anxious, senior dog many times. She is a great communicator, super reliable, and has even been accommodating to last minute requests. I also always appreciated the photo updates of my dog that she provided with each walk. I would recommend her to everyone!
Overall, it was a great experience! Salma did a wonderful job working around my long list of instructions for caring for my senior dog, Mia, and her walking needs. She even left little treats for us, posted photos from the walk, and shared Mia's route. Her communication was timely and thoughtful. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.
Very thankful to have found Nayke! I am particularly appreciative of how perceptive he is with my dogs, and he always provides feedback that lets me know he was actively engaged in their care. He’s also happy to take treats with him to help with any training issues on the walk. Looking forward to continuing to work with him going forward!

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 Somerset. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
