About: I’m a responsible, dependable, and attentive pet caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m a college grad waiting for my internship program with Microsoft to start. I currently have plenty of time to watch your pets or house. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and established routines. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. I also maintain a clean, secure environment, provide plenty of attention, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Rebekah has been the perfect choice to take care of our pups. Never misses a day, takes extra care of our dogs and goes above and beyond. We have her come 3 days a week and will continue to work with her as long as she is able. Can’t recommend Rebekah enough.”

About: I am a veterinary technician with over 2 yrs experience in veterinary medicine. When you leave your pets with me, you aren't just getting an animal lover, you are getting a trained professional who provides a level of reliable, clinical-grade care that you can completely trust. Thanks to my vet med background, I excel at reading subtle animal body language, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and accurately administering oral or injectable medications. Senior pets and those with special medical needs are in incredibly safe hands. I am also fully comfortable handling everything from tiny, high energy puppies who need strict routine management to giant breed dogs. Unlike most sitters, my experience spans far beyond just dogs and cats. I am fully qualified to care for pocket pets, including but not limited to rabbits, bunnies, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I understand their unique husbandry, dietary, and habitat needs. I currently work at a local animal hospital with a highly flexible schedule, so I am fully available on weekends and most weekdays to dedicate quality time to your pets. I exclusively offer care in your home through drop in visits, overnight stays, and dog walking. My primary goal is to maintain your pets' established routines in the environment where they feel safest. I am naturally detail-oriented, cleanly, and highly respectful of your property and privacy. Here is exactly how I care for your babies during each service: Overnight House Sitting: I treat your home with the utmost respect while providing your pets with consistent, comforting company. My flexible schedule allows me to be there for evening routines, overnight companionship, and morning feedings. I strictly follow your rules regarding house boundaries, feeding schedules, and bedtime routines to ensure zero disruption for your pets. Drop In Visits & Dog Walking: For drop ins and walks, I focus on high-quality engagement, mental stimulation, and safety. Every walk includes a thorough paw and gear check to ensure harnesses are secure and pavement temperatures are safe. During drop ins, I ensure fresh water is provided, waste is cleaned up, and your pets get plenty of focused affection or play. Clinical Health & Status Checks: No matter the service, my vet tech training is always active. At every visit or overnight stay, I subtly check your pet’s hydration, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. If your pet requires oral medications, supplements, or injections, I can administer them safely and accurately according to your exact veterinary schedule. You will receive detailed updates and photos after every single visit or day of house sitting, keeping you fully connected to your babies while you are away!

About: I am eager to meet your fur baby(ies) and have lots of love and attention to shower on them. I am a trained pet care giver and volunteer at a local area pet shelter. I am a widow with three grown children, happily semi-retired, I enjoy the outdoors and nature walks, and I'm an active church member. I am a para sub teacher aide in Katy ISD. I have had dogs and cats that are now happily waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I especially enjoy all varieties of terriers and cats. My goal is to offer your family pet(s) love and kindness in every way. (I do not care for reptiles or amphibians yet will happily sprinkle food into a fish tank.) I make short visits to walk your pets or care for your animals for an hour or more. I can also visit your pets twice a day. My schedule is flexible. That can be discussed during our meet and greet or via phone call. We can communicate by face-to-face meet and greet prior the booking, there is a great video chat feature in the app. Please contact me by phone and we can discuss my care of your pets. This meet and greet is to get acquainted with your pet(s) and see how they respond to my care.

About: My husband and I are loving dog parents, and we’re so excited to care for your pets! We have a friendly 2-year-old Corgi who loves making new friends. Our top priority is ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and right at home, so we are more than happy to accommodate any special requests. You can also count on us for daily updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My current schedule allows me to be at home for most of the day, which means your pet will not have several hours being by themselves without a potty break. We live in a single home with lots of space for your dogs to walk around while they are inside. Our furnitures are standards and with no hazards. We also have a fenced backyard where your dogs can safely be running and playing with my pup.

About: I helped raise and train a Corgi, lived and cared for dogs as big as Malamute's and German Shepards to as small as long haired Dachshunds and Papillons. I'm in between jobs at the moment so I have plenty of time in my week to take care of your pets. Available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I treat any space like it is my own and every pet like they are mine. A good pet setter leaves your home looking better than you had left it and your pet just as happy as you left them.

About: Hi! My name's Caty and I've lived most of my life with at least one pet or another. I've got a senior puggle, a Blue Heeler, a healthy flock of 5 chickens, and an unruly toddler at my house, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've always loved animals, sometimes more than people. I will cuddle your cuddlers, work your workers, judge with your judgers, and play with your players. Every dog I meet is PUPPY!!! regardless of his/her age. When I lived in the Netherlands, the first Dutch phrase I learned was "mag ik je hond aien?" which means "can I pet your dog?" My husband would frequently lose me to dark alleys swarming with street cats. My love for animals knows no bounds. Please reach out! I'm ready give your pet the love and care they deserve. I am mostly a stay at home mom. My son goes to school two days a week so those are going to be my best days for care at YOUR house, but my husband works from home several days a week, so I can almost always make it work. I teach yoga classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and that's only about 3hrs each day that I'm not available. I have a HUGE fenced in back yard. When I say huge, I mean our lot is a pie slice and it's WAYYY bigger in the back. I'm happy to play fetch or splash around in a kiddie pool or whatever your pet enjoys most. I'm also more than happy to come to your home and be whatever your pet needs in the moment. I have experience with senior dogs as well. If your pet needs medication, we keep a steady supply of pill pockets on hand for when the need arises. You name it, I can probably do it.

About: Hi! I’m Lila 😊 I’m a dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how much our dogs mean to us. I’d love to help out with walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits! I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their different personalities. Whether your pup needs a walk to burn off some energy, a little company while you’re away, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I know leaving your pets with someone new can be a little nerve-wracking, so I’ll do my best to make sure you and your pup feel comfortable. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week! I love spending time with both cats and dogs and am happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pets on their usual routine. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits and can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pets’ needs. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home! I know pets often feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I’m glad to come to you. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting while you’re away. I’ll make sure your cats and dogs receive plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping them on their usual routine.

About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I have a hybrid work schedule, some days I’m home all day and when I’m not I’m usually only gone for a few hours. I am open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.

About: I have always had pets from puppy/kitten all the way to seniors! I would also often take care of other peoples pets while they were out of town in college so I’ve got plenty of experience with all sorts of animals with varying needs. I currently work a flexible schedule so I’d be happy to do my best to fit your accommodations into my schedule as often as needed! I’d be happy to provide services at your home or take your pet out on walks/to the park. I have an only child cat at home so services at my house would have to be case by case.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them is something I take seriously. I have a true heart for dogs and always go above and beyond to make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. With my shift from a corporate career with over 7 years at Amazon as a global program manager to full-time creative work, I now work from home and have a very flexible daily routine. This allows me to give dogs steady attention, frequent breaks, and quality time whenever they need it. Whether I’m providing boarding, sitting, or walks, I create a safe, structured, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, follow your routine exactly, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. My goal is for every dog to feel at home and at ease.

This is my first time using this app. I had last min plans I was stressing out because I needed someone to walk my dog. I saw Maria with good reviews. She was very quick in accepting my availability. Right away she asks to meet and greet your pet. I was glad she requested to do that before letting anyone just come to my house . She’s very trustworthy, communicative and good energy.

I had booked dog walking with Cambria and I will continue this service with her as she is just great! She is very responsive and gives update during the walk which I love. She shows a love and care for my dog as if my dog were her own and I appreciate that about her. This is my first time using a service on rover and I am happy Cambria alleviated all the worries I had as a first time user. I definitely recommend her to care for your pets :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Barker

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Barker is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 5,390 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Barker. 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 Barker. 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 Barker 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 Barker. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
