About: My family has raised goats and chickens since I was around 10, and have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I've grown up around animals my whole life and I am accustomed to caring for goats, chickens, dogs, and cats! I'm currently home in Northern Virginia from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for all of your animals!! I have a fenced in yard for dogs as well as plenty of space to take them for walks! As well, I have litter boxes/safety measures set up for my 4 cats. I have 8 goats and 13 chickens so I'm used to making sure the outdoor animals are safe from predators and locked safely into their houses at night.
“Lea is the best!! Our Golden Retriever loves her so much, and we are so thankful to have her as his walker. She is kind, reliable and takes such great care of our boy!! :)”
“Nancy is wonderful! She has visited my 3 crazy boys (two of which are bigger than her!) twice now - once in the pouring rain - and has done a fantastic job. She communicates everything well and made sure they were all exercised, fed and loved. She even washed the food bowls when they were done!”
About: I am a calm and patient person with 2 years of working experience at a dog daycare/hotel and a lifetime of experience at being a dog lover. I am currently available anytime, this includes weekends and holidays. Please let me know when you need me and I will promptly respond. Thank you! I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to allow your pet to run and have fun. I also have a very friendly boxer who would love to meet your pet if you are okay with them being introduced.
About: I have 7 pets and I love each of them so dearly and I would love to spread my love to your animal! It’s incredibly important to me that your pet feels safe and loved. Typically, my pet care usually takes place in the afternoons or evening. However, I always like to keep a flexible schedule so I can make it work for your furry friend! I ensure that all pets have used the bathroom, ate an appropriate amount of food and have plenty of comfortable sleeping areas while also keeping away dangerous foods or objects.
“Ximena is an excellent dog walker! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely adores her. I always come home to a happy and tired pup, which is exactly what I'm looking for. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is loving, attentive, and truly treats them like her own. I always feel comfortable knowing they are in such caring hands. She communicates very well, keeps me updated, and is incredibly flexible whenever I have schedule changes. My dogs adore her, and I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have three Portuguese Water Dogs. I train and handle them in multiple dog sports such as agility and dock diving. I am semi retired after selling my business a year ago. Not one to sit still for too long, I think pet caregiving is a great avenue to channel my energy. My schedule is very flexible so I can work this in. I am very safety conscious. At my home we have a fully fenced yard. When out walking, I am always aware of surroundings and what might trigger a pet. I aim to be proactive and in control at all times
About: You want the best for your pup and we do too! We have a large fenced yard which allows for lots of potty breaks and playtime. We live a few miles from a dog park, and are a big outdoor family. We are firmly a no bed/furniture family, and hope your dog will be happy with his/her own bed and/or crate. My husband and I both work from home, so there are plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, as well as 2x daily walks. We are happy to accommodate your dog whether he/she is crate-trained, or just needs to be in a room while we're away. We look forward to having your dog come and stay with us!! We both work from home and have flexibility. We currently do not have any pets so your pup can settle in as if it was home-2 We are a small family with a fenced yard and relaxed environment. A loving family with lots of experience with small and large pets; we’ll become their second home!
“Kaitlyn really helped me out when I went on a last minute vacation. My dad was home but couldn't take him on a long walk. She allowed me to visit the beach for the first time in 10 years. Love her”
About: I took care of my black lab for 8 years, including feeding, giving medications, bathing and walking. I raised my cat from 6 weeks forward, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, giving attention to/playing with, and giving any medicines needed. I currently have a 4 and 5 year old cat. I also regularly volunteered at the cat Cafe in Murfreesboro, TN before I relocated to the area. There I was responsible for playing with the cats, feeding them and cleaning litter boxes. I have worked at an animal hospital where I have gained knowledge about medical situations and some medication giving. I am also a professional toy fixer! I am currently in between jobs so I do have mostly open availability until this changes or if I have to block some time off for an interview. I am willing to stay as long as needed to keep your furbabies happy and make sure they are fully taken care of. Being sure to leave your home exactly how it was when I arrived.
“Ryan did a fantastic job with our dog, Marley! She was very professional and immediately showed loving confidence in working with animals. Also, she did a wonderful job in quickly learning about our dog's routines and behaviors. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to watch their pet!”
About: I have two fur babies that I love and care for very much! My husband and I are constantly on the go walking, running and playing with our 4 year old lab but also enjoy relaxing and snuggling up with our 6 year old cat. I grew up with dogs and cats in the family and have helped care for many friends' pets while they were away. I know how stressful it is to leave your animal in the care of another person so I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your animal at all times. Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions or concerns! Looking forward to getting to know you and your furry babies! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my 2 year old daughter so I would be available for drop in services throughout the week and on weekends! I have a fully fenced in back yard and our dog is fully crate trained so I’m comfortable crating a dog if necessary. I’m comfortable using harnesses and retractable leashes when walking as my dog has used them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
As usual, Connor went above and beyond. My dog had vomited on one of the days he came to walk him. I had not asked him to clean up messes, and I never would have expected him to. But he did it without hesitation or complaint, simply letting me know it happened. Connor is always very responsive, respectful, & simply easy to work with, and Mac just loves him and his dog, Finley.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Waterford on Rover is $24.42 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 6,214 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Waterford. 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 Waterford. 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 Waterford.

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 Waterford. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
