“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”

About: I have loved animals since forever. I’ve taken care of pets for neighbors and friends and love meeting new animals! I run track in college, so I would love to bring a furry friend on a run or walk and am more than happy to bathe and feed them afterwards. I’m currently working part time, so I will have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m currently home from college, so I can work until mid August. I will heavily rely on the information given to me about specific animals and their behavior. While the yard is surrounded by trees, there is no fence so I can keep an eye on the dog. There is also a pond in the backyard.
“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”
“Taylor has been awesome! We have a bully puppy that absolutely adores her! She is on time, trustworthy and very personable, and even loves on my kitties when she comes and lets our puppy out! We love Taylor!”
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 have also recently taken a course on dog massage! 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.
About: I am a certified veterinary assistant.I graduated from a vet science class where we perform animal care on the pets we have: bunnies, cats, guinea pigs, grooming dogs, etc. I used to work at Dogtopia so I know how to handle dogs. I will be available all day on weekdays so I can spend nights in the pets home for overnights if necessary . I can't do weekends because I have a 2nd job. ⚠️ Im only available until-august 7 I have 2 ESA cats . One is a black domestic shorthair named Shadow The Hedgehog . The other is a tabby named Silver The Hedgehog
About: My name is Brittney, and I have 8 years of experience as a veterinary assistant in routine and emergency care. I left the veterinary field to pursue other interests, but I missed working with animals so much I began doing pet care on the side. I enjoy taking care of all kinds of pets, and each pet I care for has a special paw print on my heart. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you think I’d be a good fit for you and your furry friend! I work part-time currently so that I can continue to spend time working with animals! I recently moved to VA and have only recently started pet sitting again so I have time on my schedule! I am experienced in giving all different types of diets and medications as well as walking/sitting all different sizes and breeds of dogs/cats. I also know cats and dogs can take some time to warm up to new people in their environment so I take care to go at your pets pace 😊
“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”
“Deon is very friendly and an expert dog walker. My dog, Pancake, is not the easiest dog to walk (lots of pulling and lunging) but he handles it very well. He pays attention to what I tell him about her, and adjusts his walks to fit her idiosyncrasies.”
“Thanks so much for walking our best girl while we were away! Mai responded quickly to all communication and let us know when something looked awry right when our house sitter accidentally left the front door open before leaving for work. We will definitely use Mai again!”
About: My first dog, Bella, was a black lab and I spent many days taking her on walks of varying distance. After she sadly passed, my family adopted another black lab, Luther, who was a handful when he was a puppy! He is now 3yo, and I've helped care for him by playing with him, taking him on walks, and feeding him. I also have dog-sat for 2 Vizslas and 1 small terrier. When I was around 12yo I cat-sat for my neighbors and would play with and feed their 2 cats. I'm currently working a very flexible schedule as a student researcher. I'm extremely free on weekends and am willing to work early or late hours! I've walked dogs who have a "pulling" problem/are just very excited pups! I've also walked stubborn dogs who don't like to walk very far in the heat (my dog!). Additionally, I've fed dogs with unique food instructions involving medications and dogs who are stubborn eaters.
About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.
About: Hello! I've had dogs my entire life! I love dogs and have two of my own. Lolo is an 8-year-old, blind Cocker Spaniel. Roo is a 4-year-old, Maltese/Lhasa Apso mix. I've raised my dogs since they were puppies. My house is kid and dog-friendly. My dogs lay on the couch and sleep with me. I have a fenced backyard and supervise my dogs outside. My two sons are 14 and 11. They live with me half of the week and love to host friends' dogs. When they are gone, I appreciate the companionship of furry friends. I don't go out at night so your pet will have lots of evening attention. I live in a safe neighborhood with an easy, low-traffic walking route. I understand how important it is to have a trusted person watch my pets when I'm away and will be happy to love on yours. I am a school counselor in Henrico County and have the summers off contract. I am available for boarding and pet walking 7 days per week from 6/1 to 8/10. I have a fenced-back yard and two dogs of my own. If your dog is timid, I can keep the dogs separated. If your dog loves furry company, it can join our crew throughout the house. My dogs sleep in my bedroom and I'm not opposed to dogs in my bed. I have a mudroom roomy enough for a crate, if your dog would prefer to sleep alone. I am willing to go to a client's house for pet care and walks throughout the day. I can take your dog to the dog park, if you'd like. Does your dog like to fetch? I would be happy to play with him/her.
“Mandy was phenomenal and I know that Mickey enjoyed every minute of his time with her to the fullest extent of his heart!! She exhibits so much care and I'll definitely be continuing with her services, much to Mickey's delight!”
About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tuckahoe
Jessica did a great job walking our Australian Shepherd! It was my first time using Rover and she made it super easy. She was right on time, professional, and friendly. Will definitely be reaching out to Jessica next time I need helping walking my dog! Thanks Jessica!!
Evelyn is amazing! So happy I went with her. She comes every time on time and if there is a problem, she let's me know in advance (which only happened twice in the 2 months and it was only a time difference that was within the hr of the original time). I even had to use her on a day she was not scheduled, last minute on a weekend night and she made it happen. Jada will miss her when we leave Richmond!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Tuckahoe on Rover is $19.98 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 .

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 Tuckahoe. 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 Tuckahoe.

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 Tuckahoe. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
