“When Elise arrived, my dog wanted to play so she played with him before his walk! I appreciate Elise and all the little things she does for my dog that makes him feel loved when I can't be there.”
“Suphaphattra responded to us very quickly to walk our 55-lb lab mix on short-notice and did everything we hoped she would do! We would very happily use her services again - thank you Evie!”
“Marley was very attentive and communicative to both us and the dogs. She has a wide range of experience with dog breeds and is also great with multiple dogs. Definitely going to rebook her for next time!”
“Amanda is a lifesaver. I needed a backup walker due to the storm. She responded quickly and helped me out. I will definitely be using Amanda again. Thanks so much for your help on short notice.”
“Anne has been a godsend since my return to the office 5 days a week. She is a great communicator and sends really cute photos. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all different kinds from a young age! I have a strong love and appreciation for all dogs and their unconditional love. I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years so patience, organization and an intense sense of care are my strongest skills. I am currently in the process of finding a new remote job and am home during the week and most weekends! I love to walk and having a buddy to come with me would make my day. My hours and days are pretty flexible ♥️ I live in an apartment with plenty of outside space around the building to take any pups outside to play with. I don’t have any pets at home so your pet will have my full undivided attention 🤍
“Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Ellie has provided such great care for Brady!! She has gone above and beyond all expectations . . . so nice to be able to go away and know that Brady is receiving such loving care.”
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
About: I’ve been taken care of pets since the first one came into my household, cats mostly but I have experience with dogs and birds too! I currently work remote so I’m free most of the day everyday, which allows me to have more than enough time for all my furry friends! In a clients home I like to treat the pets as if I’m the owner myself, with respect, love and kindness as much as possible
“Alice was a wonderful dog walker. Her attention to details on how giving care for your pup will be notch. She was also very responsive and good with communication leaving you worry free regarding the care of your dog. Alice was very punctual and very attentive. My do definitely enjoyed and appreciate her company during visits. I highly recommend her assistance and we personally will definitely re-book her again!”
About: My first "real job" was being a dog walker, where I would walk a cocker spaniel named Gonzo after school for 3 years. Since then I have dog and cat sat for neighbors through the years, both for short weekend trips and for longer multi-week trips requiring me to house sit as well. I fostered my first kitten for a month while in college, and helped foster over 30 cats and kittens during the pandemic since I had a little extra time on my hands. Over the past two years I have been pet/house sitting most months. I have watched everything from one dog or one cat for 4 days, to two cats and a dog for 2.5 weeks. I've watched puppies and kittens from 4 weeks old and on, and dogs and cats as old as 14 years. The actual breeds have been all over the place, but in terms of dog size I've watched everything from small terriers and daschhounds to huge labs and german shepherds. In addition to owning and caring for a goldendoodle for 11 years, I've also done a lot of pet sitting for my parents 6 year old rescue hound/lab mix and 4 year old rescue short-haired cat. While watching your dog(s) or cat(s) I would rearrange my schedule as needed to prioritize giving most of my attention to your pet(s). I work remote and generally have a flexible schedule, so I could feed/walk/care for your pet(s) following whatever schedule they are used to. I don't work on the weekends and would be able to dedicate any needed time on weekends to caring for your pet(s)! I am happy to care for your pet in your home the same way you typically do so that they maintain the same routine. Whether that means letting your dog(s) out in a fenced backyard, taking them for neighborhood or trail walks, going to a dog park, or following standard crate rules. Similarly for cats, I am happy to maintain the same feeding schedule, whether it's wet or dry food, and clean the litter box regularly. And of course, give your pets all the scratches and attention they want!

We are a family with 3 kids from 10 to 15 years , we work part time from home. There will always be someone to take care of your pet. We have a large house with an unfenced garden. We have pets in our family and we love them. We go outside everyday to play or for a walk. So you pet will be welcome.
“Abigail is amazing with my dogs. She is patient with both my reactive Terrier who can pull on the leash and my senior frail Chihuahua. She is easy to communicate with and I feel like my pets could’t be in better hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“My dog is always very happy after walking with Allie. She is great and prompt with communication. I would recommend her to anyone who needs dog walking services.”
“Lila was amazing at taking care of my puppies. My sitter cancelled last minute and she was willing to come in last minute to take care of my dogs. She was extremely communicative and kept me in the loop about the dogs throughout the entire trip. I will be booking again with her.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in West McLean is $20

There really are no words to describe Elisabeth's commitment to serving her clients. She goes above and beyond every single time. I am house ridden with a broken femur and she stepped in to help me out this week even though her schedule was already full. I could not have made it through this week without her-she deserves more than five stars!
Absolutely thrilled with Ozge dog walking services! She’s incredibly trustworthy, always respectful with my dog, and does an excellent job every time. She spends the time to get my dog tired and sends multiple pictures each time. Her communication is prompt and clear, which makes everything so easy. I highly recommend her to any dog parent looking for a reliable walker. Highly recommend for anyone looking in falls church to walk or watch their dog!
Lei has been absolutely wonderful with Freya these past few months! Freya is always so happy when she stops by. She is so attentive and caring with her, wiping her paws and making sure it’s not too hot for her to be outside long. She went above and beyond staying past the appointment time when Freya was stubborn and wouldn’t poop right away. Thank you so much for everything!
Jessica did a great job walking our dog Bruno for 3 weeks. She was attentive to Bruno’s personality, behavior, and needs. We did a meet and greet for initial setup and from there she gave me notes for each walk. She took care of a wound that happened and gave daily notes on the wound to ensure it didn’t need further care. She accommodated schedule changes when needed/available for rain. I hope she is available for any future needs.
We cannot recommend Yasmine enough! She walked our puppy this week and was absolutely phenomenal. Not only was she perfectly on time and a great communicator, but she also went above and beyond to support our pup while he was recovering from being neutered. She was incredibly gentle and genuinely cared about his well-being. It’s rare to find someone you trust this quickly with a young dog—we will definitely be booking her again!

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 West McLean. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 West McLean. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
