About: I have grown up helping to take care of family pets, as well as watching them and other pets for friends and family members. I have done anywhere from week-long stays to just pop-in visits. I am currently working part-time while home for a couple months. I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether it’s overnight or just daily walks! I always want to make sure the pet(s) is comfortable when I am entering their space. I know animals are typically pretty regimented (like us) so I want to make the transition of you being gone smooth.

About: Hi, my name is Laura. I am a full-time government contractor and a yoga instructor on the side. My work schedule offers flexibility, and I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail — all of which I bring into the care of your home and your pets. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have cared for them throughout all stages of life, from early years through senior care. I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as pets who need a slower, more attentive approach. At this time, I’m not able to welcome a new pet into my own home, but I genuinely enjoy caring for animals in their familiar environment while their humans are away. I treat every visit with intention, patience, and respect — for both your pet and your space. I offer in-home care, including: • Dog walking and drop-in visits • Feeding, playtime, and companionship • Medication administration when needed • Plant care and home check-ins (watering plants, collecting mail/packages, opening blinds, and general wellness checks) Whether it’s caring for your pet, your plants, or your home while you’re traveling, I aim to provide peace of mind through thoughtful, consistent care and photo updates. I’m primarily available for pet care and home check-ins from Thursday through Monday. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays my availability is more limited due to evening yoga classes, but I can still accommodate select visits with advance notice. I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for each pet’s routine and home. I follow instructions carefully, maintain secure entry and exits, and provide calm, attentive care in your home.

About: I have always loved animals in general, but I still haven’t found the words to describe my love for dogs of all kinds. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets, from puppies to seniors, since I was a teen. I have experience caring for multiple animals while house sitting for a family friend with 7 dogs, 6 beagles and a chocolate lab! Although I am biased towards dogs, I do enjoy the company of cats and have experience caring for the cats of neighbors and friends. I currently work 2nd shift, so my mornings and early afternoons are free for midday walks and check ins! Most days I start at 3pm and get off between 9pm and 11pm. I will follow any specific instructions for the care of your furry friend! I’d love to work with you to make sure both you and your pet have a wonderful experience!

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.

Ashely is genuinely so great, she always takes the cutest pics i’m so obsessed and has helped me out last minute a few times. Highly recommended, the other week she helped out and my grandfather was telling the dog she couldn’t leave, Ashley thought he was talking to her and offered to help him out. I was crying laughing when he told me but she’s a sweetheart!

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: I have experience with lots of different kinds of pets but dogs are the best! My 8 year old daughter also loves pups! I work from home and am happy to let your dog out, take your furry friend for a walk, throw a ball, or host your bestie when you need a reliable pet sitter. Your pet(s) will have our attention and love - I will not watch multiple families pups unless the pups know one another and get along already. Doggos must be ok with kids. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. I can come to your house or host your pet at mine. I am also open to hybrid care. Let me know what you’re looking for and I’ll do my best to make any requested accommodation. My daughter and I will give your pup lots of attention and make sure that we don’t share our pizza crust (unless you tell us to).

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a reliable and caring dog walker who treats every dog like family. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a fun walk around the neighborhood, or some extra playtime while you're busy, I’m here to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine. From energetic puppies who love long walks to senior dogs who prefer slow strolls and lots of love, I make sure each walk is safe, fun, and tailored just for them. ✨ Why pet parents trust me: • Patient and gentle with dogs of all sizes and temperaments • Reliable and always on time • Plenty of exercise, play, and attention • Photo and update after every walk 📸 • Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first Your pup deserves more than just a walk—they deserve an adventure and lots of love along the way. 🐕💛 Let’s get those tails wagging! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, outdoor time, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m very organized with my schedule, which allows me to be reliable and consistent for pet parents who depend on me. Throughout the week, I plan my availability so I can give each pet proper time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I also make sure to communicate with owners by sending updates and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something I truly enjoy and make a regular part of my routine When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I respect their space while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection so pets feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to treat every pet like they’re my own and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. 🐾

About: Growing up, I've had a total of 5 dogs in my house ranging from a chihuahua to a chocolate lab. Like many other dog owners, I am a firm believer that my dogs are my children. And no matter how old they get, they are still a puppy. I am also now a mom of 2 cats, who love to play and of course are very sassy. I currently have a flexible work schedule that allows me to look after your pet. Just let me know whenever you need me and I will be there! I am very respectful of your home and property. It is my goal to create a safe space for your pet to feel comfortable and have fun because that is their home, I am just visitor.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Virginia Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Virginia Beach on Rover is $17.76 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 1,967 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 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 Virginia Beach.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Virginia Beach. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
