Savanah walked my two dogs while we were out of town and I left them with my mom. She was always on time, and understood one of my dogs because she is very special on where or with who she likes to walk with. I highly recommend her!

Sheri was great. I asked her to come and do a meet and greet before her and Juliet went on their first walk and she did. Sheri picks Juliet up from my parents place where she does doggy daycare. We work with each other schedules to make sure they align.

About: i've taken care of dogs since I was 11 and I've had a cat for almost ten years now. I love spending time with all breeds! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with, take care of, and love on your fur babies. I'll take care of your animals whichever way you see fit. I have a fenced in back yard and will crate them if you see fit.

Hope was wonderful to work with. She was very easy-going and did a wonderful job communicating with us. She gave a recap her time with Vader which was nice to read and we were very comfortable using her as a dog-walker for our pup. We look forward to hiring her again in the future! Thanks Hope!

About: Lifetime dog owner, very active. I love long walks on the beach. And so do my dogs! I currently have a 5 year old Lab/Great Dane mix and 3 year old Aussie mix. We walk and play daily. I am willing to travel for daily walks or overnight stays. All size dogs are welcome. Large dogs are no problem. I’ve got a great arm so I’m the perfect fetch partner. I update my availability weekly. Willing to send updates and pictures as requested! I have a seasonal job so when my calendar is open I’m available throughout the week and weekend. Early mornings or late nights don’t bother me! I try to view your pet as my own. I’m more than happy to double check instructions and preferences to make sure your pet is treated well!

Nicole went above and beyond to take care of our boy while we were out on vacation for 2 weeks. She is sweet, reliable and communicative. Our dog is forever in love with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a good walker/sitter.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been walking and sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was very young. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, including behavioral training with dogs over 100 lbs. I've also lived with multiple cats and love giving them attention whenever they want it. As a huge animal lover without pets of my own, I'm always looking for my daily dose of furry companionship! I treat every pet like family and would love to help care for your fur babies while you're away. I work part-time on Fridays through Sundays, but my schedule is extremely flexible and I'm happy to discuss times that work best for you and your pet's needs! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my behavioral training experience, I know how to read body language and handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm attentive, responsible, and always follow your specific care instructions. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets, so I'm happy to provide updates and photos for your peace of mind. Whether caring for your fur baby in my calm, pet-friendly home or in the comfort of their own environment, I'll make sure they feel loved, secure, and right at home. Whether I'm visiting for walks, drop-ins, or staying in the comfort of your pet's own home, I'll make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve always loved animals, I have a 4 year old Australian Shepherd and he is my whole world. I will treat your fur baby with the love, care, and attention that I show my own fur baby. When I’m watching your pet, they will be safe, happy, and have the best time! I currently work full time, but I am available late evenings on week days and all day on most weekends. I am always happy to be flexible with my schedule. I live in an apartment so my dog gets plenty of walks, outdoor time, mental, and physical stimulation throughout the day. I provide a calming, safe environment in my home for my pup, and I bring that same calm and caring energy to every animal I meet.

About: I have 50 years of experience caring for pets. We had a farm for 20 years, where I cared for horses, dogs and cats...my own and others. I am retired, so will be available most days and throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so will be able to accomodate your schedule. Currently, we have one senior dog. She is spoiled rotten, as all dogs should be! Every pet has unique needs and I do my best to accommodate each pet and pet owner.

About: Hello, my name is Kathy and I offer drop in visits, day care, and walking for mellow and senior dogs and I specialize in caring for cats and kittens. I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my whole life, from young ones to seniors, as well as sick pets who need medical attention. I am skilled at giving oral medication and shots. I also volunteer at my local no-kill shelter and handle cats of all sizes. My husband and I live with our small introverted tripod dog and 2 cats in a house with a fenced-in backyard. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with sidewalks. Our home is a relaxing space for senior, mellow, and/or introverted dogs - if your dog enjoys cuddling on the couch or slow strolls around a quiet neighborhood, then we have the perfect home! I also offer the following services separately: - Dog baths (shampoo + conditioner; $15/bath) - Cat nail trimming ($10/session) Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home with a generally flexible schedule. I'm able to set my own hours for the most part and can be available over lunch as well as before and after work. I'm also able to take frequent breaks to let dogs outside in our fenced-in backyard with a 6-foot fence. After work, we will go for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm the primary caretaker but my husband helps when he is home. Boarding: I have a small, introverted tripod and 2 cats. As such, I will only board mellow, senior, and/or introverted dogs who are good with cats. My cats will not bother your baby as long as they don't bother the cats. Drop-ins: I understand every pet has its own personality and will respect their needs! I'm happy to play with your energetic companion or leave your shy loved one alone and let them come to me. No matter what, I am always attentive to their body language.

About: I have had a love for animals my whole life! Throughout my summers in high school I volunteered at GMHS as a way to give my time back to the community. I now have a 3 year old Jack Russell/Beagle mix named Nova, and we do everything together. I also have 2 cats Jake & Bailey, and a Leopard Gecko named Leia. I do work full time M-F, however I dedicate my weekends to spending time taking Nova on longer walks and having extended play time, and she loves having guest! I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I usually take Nova out to parks often, and out for play time in our back yard. She is very welcoming to guest and loves having someone to play with. If you are comfortable Nova and I would love to have guest join our walks and play times!

About: Any specific requirements for them? Let me know. For all of my life, I've cared for dogs. You may rely on me as a seasoned pet sitter to provide exceptional care for your canine companion. I enjoy cuddling with pets and going on enjoyable trips whenever the chance arises. The water bowl is always filled, and the animals are always content and healthy. I currently go in the office twice a week. I’m available to take care of your pup on weekends and during the week after 4. I have a fenced yard and a french bulldog to keep your pup company. If weather is nice go on walks. Can crate if needed.

About: I have three dogs that I have trained and taken care of since they were puppies. My oldest is 10 years and youngest is 4 years old. They are my world and I truly love training and taking care of them. I am my friends and family's go to pet sitter when they are out of town, so my pups are used to having other dog visitors! I'm very reliable and will treat all animals as if they are my own. I'm on Rover so I can meet and take care of other dogs instead of adding another to my pack ;) I work from home mostly so I am flexible regarding when I can take care of your pet. Morning, lunchtime, or evening walks - I will try to accommodate to whatever you and your pet needs! I have three friendly dogs and a large fenced yard. I’m downstairs with my pups all day while working from home. I enjoy taking breaks and playing with them through out the day.

About: Since I was 12, I've been the go-to sitter when family and friends go out of town. I've walked dogs for WAG! since 2018 in the Washington, DC area and friends and friends of friends on Capitol Hill have me stay in their homes and watch their pups several times a year. My siblings say I'm too nice to dogs and let them walk (all over) me, but I like to think they must smell something they need to find. I once carried a dog several blocks because it was 90+ degrees out and he was over it. Sometimes they want to run, sometimes they want to tan- and I'm here for it all. Also, I have a full bed if they need a sleep buddy. PS I have two boys, a 3 YO husky + 1.5 YO ginormous mutt : ) pet care is as much a part of the daily routine as my own care (usually more so lol). making sure dogs are happy, well fed, hydrated, getting out to pee, walk, run, stretch, sniff etc is v important. when i’m in a clients home, i’m respectful of the trust put in me by the human and of the animal’s space. slow, gentle movements, getting down on the dog’s level, lots of scratches and pats etc. and being clean and tidy of course.

Sheri took GREAT care of my dogs, communicating promptly when one of them barfed up something strange (he’s fine) and checking on him later in the day. She also added an unscheduled morning walk and feeding when my flight was delayed. She’s a pro.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Yorktown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,385 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Yorktown. 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 Yorktown. 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 Yorktown.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Yorktown. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
