“Jen is a wonderful and caring rover for our dog! She’s trustworthy, friendly, is super great with our pup, and always very communicative. Five+ stars!”
About: Hi! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have experience caring for them. When I was 12, I walked my dad’s friend’s dog every day, which is where I really started enjoying taking care of pets. Last year, I also dog-sat 4 times, caring for dogs and making sure they were happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners were away. I’m currently available on weekdays since I work on weekends, which gives me ample time to accompany your furry friend on their daily adventures. I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort while on walks. I’ll keep your dog securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for dogs for family, friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime and keeping dogs company. I’m responsible, patient and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’d love to give your dog some extra attention while you’re away or busy! I currently work just one hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout most of the day and can easily work around your pet’s routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I’m happy to follow your usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you have
“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!”
“If my pug Mimi could leave a review herself for Haoran (Selina), it would probably go something like this: “I had such a lovely walk! Since I’m older now, I really appreciate someone patient, gentle, and happy to go at my pace. She took wonderful care of me and sent my mama adorable photos. I came home with extra treats and lots of tail wags. Her calm, sweet demeanor made me feel comfortable. My mama says she’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cares about every dog she meets. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””
“I was lucky to find Tasha, a new local dog walker in our town. She responds to messages quickly, is available for morning walks, friendly and, most importantly, punctual and reliable.”
“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”
About: For me, pets are more than animals — they’re family. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, attention, and care that makes them feel safe and loved. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s unique routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own, and I’ll do my best to make every visit a happy one! I balance pet care with my regular work schedule and make an effort to be dependable, organized, and communicative with every pet parent. I can coordinate visits, walks, and sitting around my availability, including evenings and weekends when arranged in advance. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll also keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, habits, feeding instructions, and any special needs before caring for them. I’m happy to follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secure, use leashes properly, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, comfortable environment. I also believe communication matters, so I’ll gladly send photo updates and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved!
About: Hi, I'm Haley! I recently moved to Northern Virginia from Metro Detroit for work and am excited to get to know the area—one dog walk at a time! I've been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with multiple dogs. Back home, I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix named Creed, who is truly my best friend. Since moving, I've really missed having dogs around, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover. Starting in high school, I regularly dog sat and cared for pets for several families in my neighborhood. Whether they were away on vacation or just needed an extra hand, I helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets felt loved and comfortable while they were gone. I'm very active and love being outdoors, so long walks, runs, and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. My work schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of availability throughout the week to help care for your dog. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'll always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I'll treat your pup like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My work schedule as a medical device representative varies from day to day, so no two weeks look exactly the same. Because of that, I often have weekdays where I finish work early and have plenty of time available for dog walks and pet care. I also don't work weekends, which means I'm available throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you'll always know my availability before booking. Since I currently offer dog walking services, my goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs and energy level. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely stroll or a more active walk, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. I'll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd give my own. During each visit, I'll make sure they have fresh water when we return, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and a summary of our walk. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll do everything I can to make both you and your dog feel comfortable and cared for.
“Paris was super flexible last minute and made sure to know all about my doggo and his walking habits so she would be prepared for a walk. This type of care does not go unnoticed and I am super appreciative!”
“It was great having Summer take care of my little guy - especially considering that he was dealing with an illness as well. I was super happy with the direct updates since I was worried leaving him alone, brought me a lot of peace of mind. Thanks!”
“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been surrounded by them all my life. I have experience with dogs ranging from 10lb to 90lb and puppies to seniors. Experience with administering medication both oral and topical. I have cared for cats ranging from docile to orange cats. I am reliable, organized, and will complete the job within a timely manner. I'm a freelance filmmaker which allows me to have a flexible schedule. In my free time I love to get to hang out with dogs and cats When I enter your property I will ensure all fences are closed before letting the dog out. I will follow all instructions to a T. I will make sure there is no food or medication left where the pet can reach it. I will communicate any comments, questions, or concerns to the owner.
About: I’ve been raised around pets my entire childhood, 5 dogs, 3 cats and, a parrot, which has given me a genuine love and deep understanding of animals. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m extremely punctual, responsible, and organized, and I take pet care seriously. I keep everything clean and follow routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to give them the best care possible. Hi! My name is Mia, and my dad, Héctor, and I work together to provide loving and attentive care for your pets. While I’m working, my dad is home and helps look after the pets throughout the day, making sure they have plenty of attention, company, and care. We treat every pet like part of the family and work together to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. We are both committed to giving them the same love and care we would give our own. We love pets. 🫶🏽🦮🐈 Our home is a clean, two-story apartment that provides a comfortable and safe environment for pets, pets are allowed in the building. While there is a 4-year-old child in the home, pets are never left alone with the child at any time. We closely supervise all interactions to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. During their stay, pets remain with me at all times as me and my dad are the primate care givers. I make sure they have a quiet, secure space and receive constant attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay.

Felipe was very helpful, patient, and kind with my energetic dog! I really appreciated how understanding and attentive he was. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Vivian is great. I have 3 large dogs (2 of them are over 100 pounds) and she didn’t flinch about walking them. She came exactly when she said she would, sent me updates and took great care of them. I can highly recommend Vivian and look forward to using her again.
Jennifer’s been walking my two dogs for about eight months, and she’s been amazing. My adventurous Cookie pulls a lot, and Luna is nervous with city noises, but Jennifer handles both with calm confidence. She’s responsible, patient, and clearly loves what she does. I always feel comfortable knowing my girls are safe and cared for when they’re with her. We’re so grateful to have found her.
Leila was great! I booked her last minute and unfortunately the app had the wrong address for me. Leila was understanding and still showed up to the correct address and did the full walk (which I did not expect her to as the address situation was not her fault). Naya seemed to have a great time and I will definitely be booking her again when the need arises. Thank you Leila!
Jessica took care of our Bruno again by giving him a daily walk while we were out of town. We can tell he loves his walks with her and we know he is in good care with her. She gave him his daily supplements before his walks and we enjoyed seeing pictures from each walk with quick recap notes.

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

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
