About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets since I was young doing overnights, potty breaks, feeding, and exercising. I have also grown up with my own dogs and know how important it is to make sure our fur babies are taken care of properly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks with my personal dog, Kasey, and would love to have any others join with us! If you have a date that you are needing services for, please contact me! Personally, I love when my personal pets can roam the house and lay on furniture, but if you would like me to crate them I can!

About: Being and eldest sibling caretaking has always come naturally to me and that extends towards animals of all kinds. My love for animals started at a very young age and I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since the age of 10. Including fish, frogs, turtles, lizards, snakes, hamsters, bunnies, birds, cats and dogs. Even a tarantula! I’m a single parent and bar manager, just looking for something flexible to do to keep busy during the day. I live an active healthy lifestyle. I do not have any pets at the moment nor pet equipment. My apartment complex is a very pet friendly community with a dog park/waste bags & I have an SUV big enough for transportation if needed.

About: Hi there! I provide excellent pet care service in VA Beach area. I am also willing to travel to cities within a 30 mile radius. A little about myself: I am a 2x alumni from East Carolina University. I received my Masters in Communication in 2017 and am currently working as a Producer. I absolutely love animals. I currently do not have fur babies of my own at this time because I do travel for my job. I am willing to walk animals on a daily basis. I am also willing to board pets in my home. I also do not mind traveling to your home to watch your pets. I have several years of pet care/ house-sitting experience but do not have much experience with grooming animals. I love going for long walks and taking pups to the beach. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions! I work hybrid - 2 days in the office (Williamsburg) and 3 days remotely, and travel often for a work. I keep my calendar up to date. I’m happy to board your pet in my home. I live right next to the beach. I am also happy to travel to your home. I prefer to always have a meet and greet if possible so the pup is comfortable with me.

About: Hi!👋🏼 I'm Jenna! Animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Rescue animals will always have a special place in my heart, but at the end of the day, I truly love all animals and treat every pet like family! When I moved away to college, I was alone for only 2 months, and realized I couldn't imagine life without a furry companion and that’s where Carrot came into my life and made me a FurMom! During college, I also fostered dogs and cats, helping them prepare for their forever homes. My older sister previously worked at both an Animal Hospital and PetSmart, and she's taught me so much about pet care, behavior, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I know every pet is unique, and I'll care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give Carrot. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with the same love and care I give my own. ** IMPORTANT * I will ask for your document verification of ALL UP TO DATE VACCINES and they MUST be on a flea, tick, and heart-worm preventive ** Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed). I also respect your home and your pet's unique preferences, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past 8 years, and I’m also a cat owner myself. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time but have gaps in my day where I can check on your fur babies and make sure they are thriving in their home. I can pick up on behavior quickly and would love to take care of them in an environment they know and already love. I would love to meet them ahead of time to establish trust.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have two of my own, Higgins and Zoey. Caring for them and the dogs I host through Rover has taught me how much a consistent routine, exercise, and individual attention matter. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and doggy daycare, with care tailored to your dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog enjoys an active walk, plenty of sniffing, or a quiet visit with company and a potty break, I’ll follow their pace. Have more than one dog? I welcome households with up to three dogs. Before the first booking, we’ll discuss their routines and leash manners through Rover messages to plan safe, comfortable care. I have experience with puppy care, reinforcing owners’ training routines, and administering oral medication. You can expect attentive care, photos, and clear updates so you know how your dogs are doing. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits before 1 p.m everyday. I welcome recurring bookings for families who want a consistent walker, as well as occasional visits when you need extra help. Drop-ins can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship based on your dogs’ needs. Boarding and doggy daycare are also available based on my calendar. I accept up to three dogs from the same household, but I will not accept 3 separate bookings for the same dates.   Please message me with your location, preferred time, number of dogs, and the service you need so we can find a plan that works. Before our first walk or drop-in, we’ll go over your dogs’ personalities, routines, leash behavior, and any medical needs through Rover messages. Please share instructions for accessing your home and where to find leashes and supplies. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and training cues. Walks are tailored to your dogs’ energy, comfort, and the weather. For households with multiple dogs, we’ll discuss whether they can comfortably and safely walk together. After each visit, I’ll make sure your dogs are settled and your home is secured, then send photos and an update. For boarding and daycare, my home has a fenced yard and two friendly resident dogs, Higgins and Zoey. We have puzzle toys for enrichment and gates to provide separate spaces for rest and breaks from play. I’ll follow your dog’s schedule and keep you updated throughout their time here.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 7+yrs from small (Miniature Dachshund) to X-Large (Great Dane) as well as have taken care of dogs who need a certain food schedule or need a specific food, dogs who need medication treatments. I have also worked beside a trainer so I am also able to help give dogs a proper structure to run with. I am totally free! I will always make sure to tell you up front on messaging me if I have the availability you are asking for! Thank you! Pets have free roam in my home and are allowed on the couch. Bedrooms and bathroom will be off limits. I do walk pets personally to make sure they potty and get fresh air. In your home I will treat your pet with respect and make sure they continue to feel safe in their home as well as mine. Your pet will be treated as if my own baby like I do with my own.

About: Since middle school I have dog walked, house/pet sat, and cared for animals. it is my FAVORITE gig. The last 4 years I have cat-sat from January-April for a kitty who just this year moved south, so I have been missing the animal love. My family has always had cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for deaf dogs, dogs of every size, and cats for years. I have been told that when I leave a house sitting gig, the animals are very calm and relaxed when their parents arrive home. I am currently a full-time student doing an internship locally. I will have various availability but look forward to making sure I meet your scheduling needs! I travel occasionally on weekends as well. Nights and early mornings are my most accessible time. However you care for your animals at home I will do my best to do the same! Whatever they need and are allowed I am willing to work with (:

About: Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a current stay-at-home mom to a beautiful baby girl! I want to treat every interaction with your pet as if I am caring for my own. I have experience caring for all kinds of breeds, and love learning their unique personality. Whether it’s a fun walk, a quick potty break, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I also love sending photos and updates so you don't have to wonder how your fur baby is doing! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I am currently a stay-at-home mom who goes on walks all the time with my baby, so I thought- why not have a dog join us! The more the merrier! Since I stay at home, this gig gives me the ability to not only be flexible for me, but flexible for YOU! My baby and I also love new environments that accommodate our lifestyle, so drop-ins are perfect! I make sure to love on and play with your pets, not just go through the motions of: fed, bathroom break, repeat. I want all to feel truly like they are being visited and attended to, not a chore to be done. Along with this, I understand all pets are different in what they need; Some need a ball thrown or some just want to be pet. Either way, my job is personalized care to make sure your baby is happy and cared for.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Virginia Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Virginia Beach is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $4 and $23 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 October 2026, there are 1,957 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Virginia Beach. 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 Virginia Beach. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Virginia Beach 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Virginia Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

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.
