“Olivia is fantastic with our pups! Very easy to work with and was so sweet with our puppy who gets nervous with new people. Will certainly be using her in the future!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all different shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether young, senior, energetic, passive, trained, or not trained all pets are worthy of the same love and I will care for your pets like I care for my own fur family. I'm a young professional looking to care for other pets on my spare time. Anytime around noon or after 3 PM is my most open availability but I'm flexible on a case by case basis. I have all kinds of experience looking after pets! I'm more than happy to feed, clean up after, play, or walk with your pet while you're away.
“Ashley is very reliable and flexible when needed. She is accommodating with our constant change of schedule. Not only that but she is great with our dogs. If you’re looking for a trusted dog walker Ashley is the one.”
“Ericka is absolutely amazing! She has been an incredible dog walker for my standard poodle, Gigi, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. From the start, Ericka has been so sweet, flexible with scheduling, and consistently reliable. She always communicates promptly and very quickly learned the French commands that I use with Gigi. Gigi absolutely LOVES her walks with Ericka. She gets so excited when Ericka arrives, literally jumping with joy, and it’s clear how much she adores her. Ericka does a fantastic job managing Gigi’s high energy levels and always ensures she gets the exercise and attention she needs. I trust Ericka completely with Gigi and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dog walker. Thank you, Ericka!”
About: Experienced dog lover and dog mom available on short notice to care for your beloved fur babies. I have two dogs of my own, one Belgian Malinois (extra points for owning this breed!) and a husky shepherd mix. My longest companion was a border collie that I had from 2011-2026, who sadly passed on in April. I miss him every day. I have experience with training for beginners, traveling with large breeds, transporting fosters and house sitting. I also have experience with senior dogs, as I had one of my own (recently passed). Dogs are the heartbeat of our lives and I would love to take care of yours! Currently, I work from home, so I will have tons of time to play with your fur baby. I take my dogs on walks daily and they love to play in our large backyard! I have a large fenced yard that accommodates my two large dogs well. They love to play in water and with toys. I feed them separately in their kennels, even though they do not have food aggression. This is to give them their own space, especially since I have two small children that are home weekdays from 4pm-the next morning, and all day on weekends. My husband also helps out with our dogs and children, so there will be plenty of love to go around :) Our kids are used to big dogs and love to play.
“I have never let anyone that I didn't know watch my fur babies. Being new to the area and no knowing who to call or what to do. ALEX IS AMAZING! I know all she did was walk my dogs but for me she put my mind at easy! I didn't feel the need to nag her because she continuely text/update me! 100/10.”
“Sara was very caring when getting to know and walking our doggies, she is very gentle and considerate when dealing with anxious pups. One of our doggies is less trusting but he accepted her from the first moment, I have no doubt both our pups love her company!”
“Genesis was timely and did a fantastic job taking care of my dog and making sure got the exercise she needed as a husky German shepherd mix.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balcones Heights
Hannah did an amazing job taking care of Stevie while we were out of town for the weekend. She walked her around the neighborhood making sure to capture pictures and walking time accurately and swiftly! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly helper!
Maddison was awesome. Super kind, easy to communicate with, and great with Roxy. She sent updates and pics after every visit which I really appreciated—it made it easy to relax knowing Roxy was in good hands. You can tell she actually cares, and Roxy was clearly happy the whole time. I’m really happy with how everything went and would definitely book with her again.
Such a great help! I love the amount of photos she takes of my furbaby. She's saved me on last minute request, I'm talking up to an hour before. She let's me know everytime when she's inside, when they start a walk, and gives an update halfway through the walk. She set such a high standard that I get bummed when I use another walker because they don't take all those pictures and give that many updates. I'm definitely a repeat customer every week! Such a great person you can trust with your furbaby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Balcones Heights is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 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.

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 Balcones Heights. 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 Balcones Heights 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 Balcones Heights. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
