Mollay kept me up to date on when she would arrive at my house and when she left. She got great pictures of my boy and followed my instructions perfectly! She's the first one I go to for any last minute walks I need.

Briaunna is a pro! She has been walking our dog for a couple months now and he is always happy to see her! What I really appreciate is the fact she understands dog behaviors and when to give praise and when to wait. Our puppy gets a little jumpy at first meeting and we have been working on rewarding not jumping. She immediately ignores and then praised him when he stopped. She’s is also great at communicating. We appreciate her care and knowledge while taking care of him on his walks. I highly highly recommend!

About: I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. My family dog passed away of old age (13 years) last year so I love the thought of spending time with other people’s dogs and giving them love when their families can’t be there. I currently have a golden doodle named Loki (2 years old) who lives with my friend and have taught him to sit, shake, lay down, and whisper bark! I am currently a graduate student studying speech language pathology at the University of Washington. All funds that I make through Rover go towards paying my tuition. I can dog sit anytime that is available on my calendar :) I make sure to provide lots of pictures and updates for the parents. In case anything is out of the ordinary, I always make sure to have vet information before the families leave.

About: Hi there! I am a loving, patient dog mom who has never met a pup she didn't like! I have been a rescue dog foster for 5 years and worked with Rover since 2020 - I have cared for dozens of pets of different needs and breeds. I care for dogs with genuine love, patience and positive reinforcement! Meeting new dogs & getting to know their personality is so fun for me. Fostering requires a general love of animals, and home visits to verify you have adequate space to care for the dogs' needs. You must commit to learning about the foster, love it like your own, and communicate with potential adopters about the dogs needs/personality. The goal of fostering is to make dogs as comfortable in a new place as possible. These are all qualities I bring to the table as a pet-sitter. I have a fenced dog run with a potty area, a neighborhood park for walks and playtime, and anything a dog might need for their stay! I understand everyone wants the best possible care for their pet, and will provide a personalized, consistent pet care experience with lots of pictures and communication. Let’s make your time away a doggy vacation that is anxiety-free! I can't wait to hear about your fur baby! I am home full-time, so I have a free schedule for playing, potty breaks and exercise! Just let me know your pets schedule and needs and I will work it into my day. I have a fenced back dog run, free space to roam or a separate enclosed space if needed. I am happy to accommodate your pup however you need!

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover and proud cat mom who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I've cared for many dogs of all sizes, whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them company while their families are away. I've also done plenty of drop-in visits for cats and other pets, making sure they're fed, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I'm happy to match their needs and routine. I'd love the chance to meet your pets and help make your time away stress-free for both of you! My schedule is very flexible during the summer! During the school year, I'm available for pet visits before 7 AM and after 3 PM on weekdays. I'm also available all day on weekends. Whether your pet needs an early morning check-in, an afternoon walk, or weekend care. I'm happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that best fits their pets' routines. I'd love to help! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Their well-being always comes first, and I make sure they are happy, well-fed, hydrated, and getting the attention and care they need. I follow pet parents' instructions closely to maintain each pet's normal routine and provide the best possible care. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, or medication, I make sure every pet receives attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and well-being. If I notice any new, unusual, or concerning behaviors, I will contact the pet parent right away so they can stay informed and involved in their pet's care. I know how important it is to know your pet is doing well while you're away, so I'm always happy to provide regular photo updates and written check-ins. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and make sure both they and their pets have a positive, stress free experience.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs around me at all times. I currently have 3 of my own fur babies, and while they’re definitely a handful (or pawful), I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing, walking, and just spending time with pets and I can’t wait to be able to treat your animals like my own! During my services, I always make sure to include at least three pictures of your pets when I stop by, I know how long a day can feel without seeing your animals. My main goal is to make sure you and your pet(s) are satisfied with the services I provide because I know just how important our furry friends are to all of us and our families! I also have experience with bird, rodent, small reptile and amphibian care! I’m happy to watch any and all types of our animal family members while you’re away ! I have been in love working with animals since my first Girl Scout visit to an animal shelter in 3rd grade. I currently have five rescues of my own (two dogs, two cats, and a beardie) and I would to meet and help provide care for your fur babies as well! I make sure to provide the same quality of care to your pet as you would. They are our extra, furry family members and deserve to be treated as such, especially when they are excited and waiting to see their people!

About: Available for last minute/odd schedule requests. Everything sets me apart from others because I've learned over all my yrs experience that when trust is shown trust is given. Then everything else falls into place. ***Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.*** Animals are my escape I enjoy all of them! Life would be boring without them. They bring so much happiness to me!!!l Life is just better with them in it to enjoy with us. Remember ***(Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.)*** Fur babies run the roost! I usually take them out every half hour just for exercise or fun as well as potty breaks (which is a good way to break bad marking habits for ones training). If it's a nice day usually we are outside all day playing and walking teaching the ones who are still in need of guided assistance. Which actually makes things way easier on me. Unless of course it's just to hot to be out side. Rainy days are our lazy days or indoor activity days. Lots of cuddles and loves. My personal fur babies are not kenneled but I do have kennels for ones who prefer it. It's whatever makes them happiest. Or feel the safest. I'm a pretty good judge of character when it comes to fur babies. We read one another very well. Which in turn makes us more comfy with one another. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with one ever.i know when to back off or come in for loves. Mutal respect is the best policy I feel.

About: Hi there! This account will be serviced by both me and my husband. :) We're lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. We have two dogs and also run a small cattery, where we raise and care for cats daily, so you can trust that your furry friend is in capable and compassionate hands. Whether your pet needs a playful companion, a gentle hand for seniors, or someone who understands quirky behaviors, we offer personalized, reliable care. We're comfortable with feeding routines, medications, litter box maintenance, and handling shy or anxious pets. We also provide regular updates and adorable photos so you always feel connected while you’re away. Because we have a cattery, my days naturally revolve around caring for animals. From early morning feeding and litter box maintenance to playtime, grooming, and health checks, we are always tuned in to the needs of the pets around us. This makes it easy and seamless to integrate pet care for others into our routine. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding schedules, or giving a shy cat extra attention, we;re already in that mindset every day - and we're happy to give your pet the same care and dedication we give our own. We treat every pet as part of our family, whether they're staying in our home or we're visiting theirs. In our home, we provide a quiet, clean, and cat-friendly environment with plenty of space, cozy resting spots, and a calm routine. We do have dogs in our home, but they're very well-behaved and can be fully separated if needed to ensure your cat or dogs feels safe and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, we focus on maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress.

About: Hi I'm Alexis and I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family off and on for the last six years. That means I’ve spent over half a decade figuring out exactly who really runs the house (spoiler: it’s usually the cat). I have spent that time mastering the art of the perfect walk and the "do-not-disturb-me" nap. Neighbors and family have always relied on me because they know I don't just "check in," I actually show up and spend quality time with their pets. My real-world training comes from my own crew. Back home in Washington, I have Me-low, a sweet Golden Retriever I personally trained, and LuLu, a spunky Maltipoo. While I’m at college in Arizona, I share a home with our adopted gray tabby, Bambi. Having a mixed household of my own means I am a pro at balancing high dog energy with clear cat boundaries. What 6 Years of Experience Looks Like: Safety & Security: Whether it is a "Smooth Operator" cat or a dog that is "Born to Run," safety is my #1 priority. I have handled walks in busy areas and know how to keep pets calm around distractions. I am comfortable with all sizes, including 90lb breeds that think they are lap dogs. Cat Confidence: Thanks to Bambi, I am "fluent in cat." I know when they want to play with a feather toy and when they just want to be left alone to judge me from a distance. I respect their space while making sure they are happy and cared for. Specialized Care: I am comfortable following strict feeding schedules and administering oral medications. Whether it is a puppy in training like Me-low was or a senior pet who needs extra patience, I make sure they stay healthy and never skip a beat. Open Communication: I am big on keeping you in the loop. You will get regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see exactly how much fun your babies are having. I know the stress of being away, and I want you to feel at ease from wherever you are. My Promise to You I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies behind. To me, your pet isn't just a "booking"; they are the star of the show. Whether it’s high-energy walks or quiet "golden hour" naps, I promise that for every tail wag they give and every purr they make... I’ll be watching them. I am currently home from college and my schedule is wide open till mid-July. I am available Monday through Sunday for full-time care, walks, and check-ins. Because I am not juggling classes right now, your pets are my main priority. Please note: I will be heading back to Arizona for the upcoming semester between August 13th-22nd, so I am looking for bookings that take place before that move. Until then, I have total flexibility to stick to your specific routine and provide plenty of companionship for your "babies." I provide care exclusively in the client's home, as I do not offer boarding in my own home at this time. This allows your pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment while you are away. When I am in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I prioritize a "safety-first" environment by doing a quick sweep for anything your pet shouldn't get into and making sure all doors and gates are secure. I am very diligent about leashes and harnesses during walks to prevent any accidents. I believe trust is built through communication. You can expect regular photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and following their normal rhythm. Whether it is keeping a cat's litter area pristine or ensuring a dog gets their exact training commands, I am dedicated to maintaining your home exactly how you like it. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to ask!

About: My experience with dog covers just about all fields there are. I spent 10+ years showing herding breeds in showmanship and obedience, often at the state level. This included all the required grooming and handling skills that comes with performing at a pro level. I also trained lessons at 4-H clubs once a week for 5 years. I helped teach kids how to teach their dogs and during that time I worked with dogs big and small. Fear aggressive and wild lab puppies. I continued my training at a local boarding facility where Ive been exposed to even more unique dogs. This facility specialized in dogs that needed special care or more technical help than regular boarding places could provide. Food aggressive malinois, elderly pitbulls that have specific medical needs and anxious poodles are all just a regular Tuesday for me. I'm always looking for a new experiences and a challenge! My goal is flexibility! Any day of the week, morning and night, I'm available. My work day starts late enough in the day for most if not all morning activities and I'm off perfectly on time for afternoon walkies. I've house sat for dozens of times. In my 10+ years of connection with 4-H, I've watched many members pets over the years. This included more unique animals like reptiles and birds all the way to a guinea pig barn. My goal is to keep everything as in routine as possible. Pets are already anxious when their parents leave so doing everything just like you do helps minimize any added stress. No such thing as too much information!

Alyssa was wonderful with our dog! Our dog can be pretty wary of strangers, but Alyssa’s calm demeanor, patience, and understanding really helped her feel comfortable quickly. She didn’t seem fazed at all by our dog’s hesitation and gave her the time and space she needed to warm up. We will absolutely book with Alyssa again!

There is a reason why Briaunna has so many raving reviews. She not only walks my dog but trains him along the way. She takes charge of the walk, gets him walking to get that puppy energy out and instructs my puppy on how to walk while providing praise when he does a good job. He always looks forward to seeing her and has no problem leaving me at the door :) Briaunna is highly dependable and communicates extremely well, not only for booking but if he is doing better at walking in general or any feedback she makes sure to mention which I appreciate.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Allison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Allison on Rover is $17.76 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 9,446 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Allison. 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 Allison. 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 Allison.

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 Allison. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
