About: I’ve cared for many pets of various sizes and breeds over the years for neighbors and friends, even for some who went overseas for several months at a time. I am a teacher and I have a lot of spare time. My husband also works from home. We are flexible and can meet your boarding needs. I have secure, air conditioned kennels on a 1 acre ranch to meet all your pet’s needs for comfort and exercise. Doggy pools, splash pad, and toys included!

About: Hi there, my name’s Trinity! I’ve lived with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and the gerbils that I researched months for before presenting my findings to my parents (they caved). Before earning my BA in Psychology, I studied animal science at TTU for two years in hopes to become a veterinarian. While my career has changed drastically, I still love spending time with animals and frequently volunteer with local animal shelters. I currently work two part-time jobs, one during weekday afternoons and the other on weekend mornings. My pets get their meals and walks before I leave for work. I am no stranger to a commute as a recent UTSA grad and as someone who is constantly driving all over town for work/volunteer opportunities. In fact, it gives me more time to listen to music in the car! I have an acre of land with a fenced in backyard with plenty of open space for your favorite child to run around. Our community is in a quiet country neighborhood, perfect for low-risk dog-walking.

About: I enjoy the freedom to work from home while hosting guest dogs for my dog, Lulu, to socialize and play with. I’ll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. I’ve done dog walks and pet sitting for over five years and have LOVED every step! I’m so excited to join Rover and provide exceptional care to your babies, to love them and protect them as if my own! You can be sure that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of. I enjoy volunteering my time with local dog rescues, hiking as well as spending time with my family. Thank you and see you soon!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Ever since I was a little kid animals were a part of life. I have experience in all forms of animal care. Giving medication, training, mental stimulation, and anything else needed! I am great with all doggies and kitties. I enjoy all animals and making sure they are happy and healthy :). I am currently only a student. My schedule is pretty open because I recently left the military. This fits into my schedule well because of how flexible it is. I have a large fenced in yard with many toys. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own who enjoy company. The dogs get lots of pets, outside time, and fed on a scheduled basis.

About: I’ve had and cared for animals my entire life. I’ve also worked at pet stores and humane societies. There is no better way to spend your time than being surrounded by animals. I care for animals because being a portable pooper scooper and a human chew toy aren’t considered real jobs. Let me know what your needs are and we’ll work together to make sure that your babies are taken care of when you can’t be home with them. I will always show the utmost respect to your pet and your home. This includes cleaning up after myself and your pet during our time together, removing my shoes before entering your home if you would like, and anything else that will make you comfortable with the arrangement.

About: I have been around all sorts of animals since my first memory! Growing up I was around breeds such as chow-chows, rottweilers and the most vicious of all, chihuahuas ;) from birth to the end. I currently have 4 doggies and 1 kitty all between the ages of 5-14. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I like to also work at coffee shops, by water, so am able to be outside my neighborhood as well! :} My dogs are able to roam around as they wish. I do not like to crate them, and they have their own rooms when I do need to leave. Daily walks and hanging out outside is one of our favorite things to do. Just like us, we all need love in our way so if pets and cuddles are needed that works, or just simply letting out for exercise is their jam, I am here for it!

About: What makes me different from other pet sitters is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I would give my own. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and reserved, I adjust my care to help them feel comfortable and secure. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention. I am dependable and take my responsibilities seriously. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being at all times. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they feel loved while their owners are away. I am patient with pets that may need extra reassurance or special attention. I provide plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible. I understand that consistency helps pets feel relaxed and happy. I pay close attention to details and follow care instructions carefully. Communication is very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so pet parents can feel at ease while they are away. I want you to know that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with both pets and their owners. I am committed to creating a positive experience for everyone involved. I am reliable, organized, and responsive. I understand that every pet has different needs and preferences. I take pride in being someone pet owners can count on. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for from the moment I arrive. I strive to provide peace of mind for pet parents and a fun, stress-free experience for their pets. When you choose me, you're choosing someone who truly cares about your pet's happiness and well-being. Even though my work schedule may change, I make pet care a priority. I am committed to ensuring that pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. I carefully review my availability each week and communicate openly with pet owners about scheduling. I believe that clear communication helps create a positive experience for both pets and their families. I am happy to discuss visit times, walking schedules, and other care needs in advance. In a client's home, I work to maintain the pet's normal routine as much as possible. I know that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I provide fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pet is doing well.

About: As someone who frequently pet sits for neighbors and friends, I have a lot of experience with many different kinds of furry friends. My neighbors frequently relied on me to feed and clean up after their 7 cats as they would go out of town often. Furthermore, I also pet sat 3 horses a few times for some friends leaving town. As a dog owner of 3 for 10+ years, I also have much experience with hyperactive, excitable dogs. Lastly, I had a bunny for 5 years, so I also have a lot of experience with small pets as well. I’m currently looking for a part-time schedule in the summer to pet sit. I am available to pet sit overnight with enough notice, stay for a few hours at a time, take care of animals at my home, or go on walks. I have a fenced yard and two playful beagles to keep your furry friends company. Depending on what kind of animal you and what they prefer will also dictate where they will be. But you can trust they will feel right at home.

About: I love caring for all dogs as if they were my own. I have years of experience with my own dogs as well as with friends dogs. I walk, bathe, take care of over night if that’s what your pet needs. I’m fully committed to making this my full time job. Every day I am available and willing to travel as far as 15miles for walks and check ins. Also for boarding, they can spend the night and have a great time with me and my beautiful border collie. I have a big fenced backyard with doggy door access. A crate if that’s what you prefer. My dog is very friendly and loves to play. If you want me to drop by your home and check in to feed, bathe, administer medicine, or just simply play time. If they need a walk as well.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Alum

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,086 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alum. 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 Alum. 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 Alum.

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 Alum. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
