About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having.

About: I love all animals no matter what kind or size. Looking for anyway to be around animals more that can also help and benefit others. I have grown up with all kinds of animals big and small from dogs, cats, goats, guinea pigs and more.

I work at a bank but am willing to animal sit immediately after work also on some holidays and weekends. I have no allergies or fear of any animal and am willing to sit for any breed or size. I have a medium size dog of my own who I love dearly, and she says I’m a great dog sitter too.

About: I don't think i have gone more than a month without pet sitting for people since I was 10 years old, and I currently work with horses so even if your dog pulls it shouldn't be a problem <3 and I've been kicked so a lil cat scratch won't be anything to me. I work part time primarily early mornings (genuinely five am to like 10 am) and watching movies is my favourite hobby so there is nothing I love more than sitting with a pet and watching one If there is one thing working at a farm has taught me it is having a lot of patience for animals and of course how to follow instructions really well.

About: Hello, My name is Stephanie. Ever since I can remember I have been surrounded by animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets, horse, etc. When I turned 21, my sister and I bought a 67 acre farm in PA which we still own. I have since moved to VA with my husband and 3 kids along with our Furbabies. Yes, I had to upgrade to a mini van just to fit everyone but I wouldn't want it any other way. I would treat your babies as if they were my own. I would make sure they recieve tons of love while you are gone with updated pictures if requested. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you! Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day it is my day. 🐾 Pet sitting is my full-time job, so my daily and weekly routine revolves around making sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well exercised. I provide care in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service selected and what keeps each pet most comfortable. Every pet is different, so I tailor care to their energy level, personality, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe and happy.
About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.
About: I have over 4 years of pet-sitting experience, including caring for pets for the same family consistently throughout those years, as well as pet sitting for several other families! I also have two dogs of my own, an Australian Shepherd and a Dachshund, both of whom I’ve raised since they were puppies! I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs! Whether your dog is tiny or bigger than me, I’m comfortable and confident providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I also have experience with puppy training and helping younger dogs learn good habits! What sets me apart is how much I care about making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Whether that means daily walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, or morning cuddles, I’m happy to do it all!

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to maintain their normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special routines they may have. I know being away from their family can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I love giving them extra attention, reassurance, and cuddles whenever they want them! I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry family members are doing well! Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the personalized care they deserve. My goal is for your pets to feel just as happy and loved with me as they do when you’re home!
About: I’ve always had a dog growing up. Dogs are life companions! I’ve taken care after my own dogs of course and family members as well. I’m the first person they call to see if I’m available to watch over their fur babies. I tend to make friends with dogs at a function quicker than I do with humans. I take care after my own animals through sickness and health and try to give them the world. They deserve the best! I am free during the week and weekend. Reach out at anytime and we can work out whatever you need for your fur baby/babies. I take care of any fur baby as if they are my own ! Depending on the owners wants and needs for their pup I will always do my best to do what they want for them.
About: Reliable and caring pet lover with experience walking dogs and providing in-home pet sitting. Skilled in handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Strong communication skills, reliable transportation, and flexible availability. I am currently a nanny but I am not full time as of right now. I have a lot of free time to stop by and give your dog love and attention. I have a little 8 pound poodle who lives in my home with a big field for playing. I would just do in house visits and take your dog to the park (or whatever you are comfortable with). My house would not be open for play time with other dogs.
About: When you're looking for someone to take care of your babies while you're out of town or working long hours, you want someone who will treat them like family — exactly like you would. That's what I do. I'm Erica, a full-time house & pet sitter with over 8 years of pet care experience. I'm a Rover Star Sitter with 35 repeat clients who book me again and again because their pets are happy, their home is respected, and they never have to worry while they're away. I offer house sitting, boarding, doggy day care, drop-in visits, and dog walking across Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Woodbridge — for dogs and cats, multi-pet homes included. Here's what you can expect with me: ✅ Daily photo & message updates, so you always know how your pet is doing ✅ Fast, clear communication — I respond in minutes, not hours ✅ Your pet's routine followed exactly: feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime ✅ Experience with senior dogs, oral medication, anxious pets, and high-energy pets ✅ Flexible scheduling — including short-notice bookings when I'm available And if I'm house sitting in your home, I'll leave it just as I found it — my clients regularly tell me it was cleaner when they got home than when they left. Your pet won't just be “watched” with me. They'll be loved, exercised, and kept on their routine until you're back home. While I'm on the job, your pet is 100% the center of my focus and never ignored. I'm very attentive to each animal's individual needs — whether that's walks and throwing the ball for an active dog, or pets and quiet company for an older dog who can't exercise much. I follow your care instructions to the letter, including medication, and I'll always let you know right away if anything comes up.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Wilderness is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $34 per walk. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 1,294 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wilderness. 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 Wilderness. 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 Wilderness 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 Wilderness. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
