“Tania was great with my (large breed) people shy dog. My dog warmed up to her right away. Tania is great with communication and always gives me a heads up about scheduling. She was also kind enough to indulge my walking rules for my dog lol.”

About: I provide consistent, dependable care with regular updates, clear communication, and respect for your home. I focus on both physical care and emotional comfort, especially for anxious pets. Caring for pets is already part of my everyday life, so adding dog and cat sitting feels natural. I enjoy building routines that keep pets calm, happy, and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they’re fed on time, exercised or played with, and given lots of attention and care. I keep their space clean and safe, respect my client’s home, and send updates so owners feel at ease. 🐾

“Ive left a review before, but I have to again. This girl is the best dog walker out there! She’s always on time, always walks him our agreed upon distance/time if weather permits, and, if the weather’s bad, she will still spend time and play with my dog inside. She’s super reliable and good with communication! She tells you in advance when she’ll be out of town and she doesn’t mind last minute booking. Also, when she walked my boyfriend’s dog when he was out of town, he didn’t poop and there was no one else to come over later that night to take him out again so she offered to do it for free (oh and that was on Christmas!). If you need a good walker, use her!”

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’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: Mike's first job was caring for his neighbors' pets. Mike has had pets since he was 10, and travelled around the world with his dogs and cats during his military career and regional sales role. Roscoe, Higgins, and Freyja are living the dream in the Pacific Northwest with frequent road (work) trips and cross-country visits to the family in Indiana and Massachusetts. Let me know if we can help you with your fur babies. Mike works from home and is an early riser. While the coffee is brewing, all the animals are waking up with bathroom breaks and breakfast. Mike walks Roscoe after breakfast and dinner. Since Roscoe is a senior, we frequently split the two meals into snacks and shorter walks. When the cats are interested, they climb into the backpacks and go see the world with us. I pay attention to the animals' behavior and routines. Consistency in feeding and bathroom breaks has made my pets very comfortable with my work and social routines. I have the flexibility to meet your routines and maintain the consistency you expect with your family while away from home. I recognize when it's time to stop playing, reduce the mileage, or go to the vet.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets and critter friends for over 10 years. Friends, family, neighbors, and neighbors' friends and families have relied on me to walk, sit, bathe, play, and provide love and compassion to their animals. It brings me much joy to be able to share the same love and energy from pets as their parents do :333 I’m currently working part time as a muay thai instructor with dreams and aspirations of becoming a professional fighter! I train and coach Muay Thai at East Side Muay Thai. My training and coaching schedule allows me to choose a work schedule that supplements my needs without sacrificing my training and coaching hours! I have caring experience in friends and families homes and check off all the tasks and routines they normally have implemented for their fur-children, while leaving their space and pet better off than I found it.

About: As a fellow Rover user for my own four-legged family members, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life, caring for everything from my own “miniature zoo” to raising two cats in my college dorm, who are still snuggling with me 10 years later! I also have personal experience with foundational obedience and reactive dogs, and I believe patience, consistency, and understanding can go a long way. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on paying attention to the little things that help them feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while your pets are in my care - just as I’ve experienced when using Rover for my own furry companions! Rover is my (stay-at-home-mom, get-me-out-of-the-house) hobby! Between chasing around my toddler and working around my husband’s non-traditional work schedule, I have the flexibility to give your furry family member the one-on-one TLC they deserve. I want your pet(s) to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while still maintaining all routines and respecting their unique habits. I’ll also keep you updated throughout each visit, providing clear communication, sharing the cutest pictures, so you won’t miss out on any of the fun!

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: I have been very interested in animals since my childhood, I love dogs and cats very much. Between 2018-2021, I took an active role in the dog hotel called “The Little Dog House” in Istanbul and developed myself as much as I could to combine my love bond with dogs with professionalism. Since the business owner (my cousin) left Turkey and moved to England, I had to end my activity at the hotel. I moved to the USA in April 2024 and consider myself sufficient and ready to connect and take care of your pets, whom you see as a member from your family in this country, without giving them a lack of you, I am happy to be a family with them. I enjoy being friends with you and your dear friends 7 days a week. Never hesitate to contact me in situations that require extra attention such as dog walking and accommodation in your home, I am waiting for you, my valued customers, ready to always be with you.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Virginia Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Virginia Beach on Rover is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $4 and $23 per walk. 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 1,976 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 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 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 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:

  • 95% 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 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.
