“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!”
“Something I am very new to. But I am happy I tried this out. Jianna did amazing with Bear. Working long hours at the hospital and having Jianna coming to let bear out made me feel so happy. I can tell that Bear was very happy as well. I will definitely book more. Thank you so much.”
“Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked. Eric was great about keeping me in the loop and making me feel included while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He’s an awesome person, clearly loves what he does, and I’ll absolutely be rebooking with Eric.”
About: I am from Australia and new to San Antonio. I have joined the Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation centre and volunteer there once a week to learn about the native Texan population. I am a nurse and work part-time from home. I can only look after cats, birds, reptiles and fish - basically any animal except a dog! I am a nurse and lucky enough to work flexible part-time hours from home. I will be able to dedicate time and care to your baby! As I only look after cats, birds, reptile and any other small non-dog animals they will be inside the house with me in full cool/heated home with 2 adults to look after their social and physical needs.

“Destiny was great. She agreed to a meeting in greet a few days before and she was very attentive to our needs for training our dog. My mother says she was very easy to work with. We already have her booked again for this coming week.”
About: Hello there! I am a bonafide animal lover. I grew up with cats and dogs ranging from kittens and puppies to senior cats and large breed dogs. This isn’t about making money for me but spending time doing what I love. I always place my pets in the best care when I’m out of town and I can be that for you and your pets. I won’t just check on your pets but bond with them and create a relationship with them. I will communicate with you every time I pet sit your pet and be sure to pay close attention to any unusual behavior to make sure they aren’t becoming ill or have become injured. I am a very attention to detail type person and will be sure to follow any instructions you leave. Monday through Friday anytime after 5pm works best for me, but I’m super flexible Saturday and Sundays and even Holidays. I can come on a regular basis/weekly also. I’m an avid walker and would love the company of walking dogs! So whether that’s around your neighborhood or with your permission to take a them to a park I’m all for it! I’m also more than happy to take care of dogs and cats at your home.
“He is very attentive and kind with us and with the dogs, always punctual, and you can tell he genuinely wants to do things well. His interest in the well-being of the pets is sincere”
About: I like to treat all pups like people, with kindness and patience. This is their walk so I, for the most part, let them lead the way! I’m mainly there to make sure they’re safe but I always make sure they sniff all the smells at whatever pace they please or help them get some energy out. Please let me know if there is anything specific I can do to contribute as much as possible to their health and happiness <33 I will love your pups like my own and hopefully establish their trust in me while away from their parents. I just recently became a college graduate from the University of Texas in Austin (hook ‘em) and am back home in SATX for the summer! I am hoping to spend some time with your sweet pups as a bonus to enjoying my slow summer. I am a natural caretaker and fierce protector of my fuzzy friends so taking care of dogs is like an extension of myself <3 I have two large dogs at home who love running around, so I am used to the craziness. I make sure to keep any eye on them whenever they are outside and make sure they’re hydrated. I also am a firm believer in adapting to each pup’s personality and finding any way I can to make their experience feel fun and safe.
“My dog usually goes to daycare, but if he’s sick or injured and needs to be out for a while, I use Rover. I look for Alexandria every time. She is sweet and attentive to my dog and communicative with me. I am so glad she was available again to help us. My dog loves spending time with her! I am a repeat customer of hers and I’m sure she has many! Thanks, Alexandria!”
“Sara was a lifesaver for our two dogs and cat while we had a long weekend trip. She walked them and played with them twice a day and sent several great pictures. Will definitely rebook with Sara again!”
About: I have officially been sitting for only a couple of years, but even as a young teenager I was already helping with friends and family's animals. I have experience with house training puppies, with senior dogs, and with training for basic manners. I also have helped a family friend with many foster puppies and learned a lot from that experience. I genuinely love animals and show that love with my work. Right now, I just started college i only have one class at night so I'm free most of the time. But I'm fine with just about any time I would prefer sitting in the client's home for personal reasons and for the animals comfort. I give all the animals in my care the same level of care and attention that I give my own animals.
“Allison did amazing! She was so great walking Fenway and with excellent communication. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needed some trustworthy pet care:)”
“Cristina is super professional and prepared. She cares for our furry daughter like she is her own. She’s courteous and engaging. She communicates well and takes her time while on walks. I highly recommend her!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Balcones Heights is $19
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balcones Heights
Faith has a wonderful way with animals. When she stopped by to meet Wesley before his first walk, he was so excited you'd think they had been friends for months! Even my cats warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot since they're usually very standoffish with new people. When I came home from work, Wesley seemed happy and relaxed, which is always a sign that he's had a great walk. Faith was also punctual, professional, and clearly attentive to his needs. I highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a pet sitter, dog walker, or even a cat whisperer!
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 for Dog Walking in Balcones Heights 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 .

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 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 Balcones Heights.

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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
