“Took excellent care of my pup, we weren’t able to do a meet and greet due to weather, but Jennifer was still able to come, easily found my place, and quickly made friends with my pup who is sometimes shy. He took to Jennifer instantly, and they had a great few walks, will definitely be booking again. 5 Stars!”

“Melissa did a fantastic job walking my two older dogs while we were on vacation and our dogs were home with my mother in law. She is very attentive to the dogs and sent me a lovely write up on how each walk went with pictures which was great. She even spent some time with our puppy who didn't go on the walks. My dogs adore her and were excited to see her on walk days. I would definitely recommend Melissa and I will reach out to her in the future as the need arises for sure. Thanks a million Melissa!”

About: I have 1 dog (8 years old) and 3 cats (3, 2, and 1 years old) of my own so I have experience and knowledge of how to take care of pets. I have also pet sat for family and family friends, both cats and dogs. I will look after your pet(s) with the utmost care and attention and make sure they are well looked after! Any special requests can be discussed and I will do my best to provide! :) I’m a part time worker and college student but am available most of the days and available at night. I mostly am free weekends. I can be pretty flexible with dates and timing so it is definitely discussable! :) I can stop by your home to help tidy up any messes made, feed your pets and give them water, walk them, and play with them as long as requested! I will always communicate updates on the care of your pets.

If doing a stay at your home I will make sure to keep your dog entertained with various enrichment activities and always keep them company while making sure the house stays neat and tidy too. Tailored Interaction: I have a friendly and playful dog who loves making new friends! If you prefer your dog not to interact, no worries she’ll stay upstairs to ensure your pup’s comfort. For in home care I already have experience with my own dog since she was a puppy so I will treat yours like they are my own. I am great at following directions and will make sure I follow your fur baby's schedule. I will keep you updated on how they are doing every day they are under my care. Your dog’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some TLC, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and reliability I bring to every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be, from reinforcing basic potty routines, and leash manners for puppies to providing gentle handling, medication reminders, and slower-paced care for seniors. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior changes, and safety, and I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m also highly organized and communicative, so you’ll always get updates and peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, I treat pet care as a responsibility, not just a job, and I genuinely enjoy giving animals calm, loving, and consistent care. 🐾💛 I am currently self employed looking to be a full time pet walker/sitter because I enjoy being around my pets all the time for whatever they need. My fur babies stay inside my home where they are safe and well kept 100% of the time. They don’t have a need for anything!

About: Home full time to care for your pets! I know your pet is part of your family and they will be part of our family while you’re away. We do not have our own pets, so we truly look forward to our time to interact with and spoil yours!! Our home is in an established neighborhood with mature shade trees and large lots so we have plenty of space for them to sniff and explore. I have tons of experience, taking care of pets for over 30 years. Family, friends and past clients have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, play, and love on their fur babies while they are away.

About: Hi! 👋 I’m Autumn — a lifelong animal lover 🐶🐱 I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, and over the past 3 years, I’ve spent a lot of time walking, sitting, and spending time with pets I truly care about 🦴💛 I have a sweet dog and a cuddly cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and kind looking after your furry family members 🐕🐾 Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’d love to help 🦮✨ Let me know how I can make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home ❤️ I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, which makes it easy for me to accommodate pet care throughout the day — whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening. Whether your dog needs a walk or your cat just needs some company and cuddles, I’m happy to work around your routine and give your pets the attention they deserve. Since I’m not juggling a packed calendar, I can be reliable and consistent, which I know is so important when it comes to caring for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💛 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, or just giving them some attention and company, I handle it all with patience and love. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and respect any specific instructions or preferences the owner provides. 🐾💛

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love, patience, and hands-on experience I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life, including bottle-feeding and hand-raising a puppy who needed extra care to survive. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, keeping them company, or caring for them in your home, I treat them like family. I’m attentive to their needs, dependable, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priority! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work as a flight attendant and have flexibility in my schedule when I’m not working my main job. I’m looking for a part-time opportunity that allows me to stay active, enjoy time with animals, and provide them with the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I genuinely enjoy being around furry friends and would love the opportunity to make pet care a fun and rewarding part of my time away from work. I care for pets with patience, kindness, and attentiveness, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed and provided with clear instructions, and any other care preferences. I also understand the importance of keeping a pet’s environment clean and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own furry friends and keep the owner informed about how their pet is doing.

About: I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who genuinely loves animals. I have regularly cared and currently care for my neighbor's and friends’ dogs and cats while they’re away, whether it’s for a short trip or an extended stay. I’m also very passionate about helping animals in my community—I currently feed and care for six stray cats and have three cats of my own. I’ve even made plenty of furry friends in my neighborhood! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I give my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule and routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having pets as part of my daily routine, as I currently have a sparse work schedule and am happy to adjust my schedule around their needs and regular routines. I provide loving, attentive care while keeping your pets comfortable in their normal routine. I follow their feeding schedules, give them plenty of attention and companionship, and make sure they have a safe, clean environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their specific instructions and their pets’ individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: Hi, I’m Jazmine! Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. With 13 years of experience in veterinary medicine and over 8 years of professional pet sitting experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. In addition to my veterinary background, I have owned and managed a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple pets and understanding their unique needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, you can rest assured they’re in experienced and loving hands. My veterinary experience allows me to recognize signs of illness or distress, administer medications, and provide specialized care for senior pets and those with medical needs. I am also skilled in providing baths, nail trims, and other basic grooming services thanks to my years of experience in both veterinary medicine and pet care. Whether your pet requires routine medications, extra patience during grooming, or specialized care, I have the knowledge and confidence to ensure they are comfortable and well cared for. Animals are a big part of my life at home as well. I am the proud pet parent of Louis, my 5-year-old Maltipoo, and Queen, my 6-year-old calico cat. Caring for my own pets reminds me every day that our animals are family members who deserve patience, love, and exceptional care. My 14-year-old son shares the same passion for animals that I do and has grown up around pets and veterinary medicine. Together, we make a great team, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship for the pets in our care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free, and loving experience while maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I pride myself on reliable communication, personalized care, and sending plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am free during the day, so caring for pets daily will come as no issue for me! I'll keep them as close to your schedule as possible, and try to temporarily adjust them to mine. I'll make sure I know the routine, stick to the clients schedule as closely as possible, and make sure to check in with client as often as they would like to ensure quality care.

About: I have seven years of experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I provide patient, attentive, and loving care while making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility in my daily schedule to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available most days and can easily fit pet care into my routine. The only exception is Tuesdays and Thursdays, when I’m available before 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. When caring for dogs in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine.

I’ll give them plenty of attention and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.

About: I’ve had many pets starting at such a young age. Everyone in my family has dogs of every breed, size, and age so I feel like I’m equipped to handle most dogs. I’ve always loved cats as well and just recently adopted a cat, I know how to handle them too. As for small animals, I have pet rabbits, hamsters, and chickens. I can handle and care for most small animals. I babysit my family’s animals and friends animals when needed. I also took veterinary classes in high school so I understand what kind of care and attention goes towards everyone’s fur babies! :) Im currently in college and have a part time job early every morning besides Tuesdays and Sundays(I’m a barista). I’m usually free all day after 9am - 11am most days. Caring for my animals is making sure they are happy, content, and to give them love and attention anytime I can get to it. I currently have a senior dog who I have to keep close attention to and open ears to make sure she isn’t struggling to go outside, needs a good back rub, or needs to be fed. My rabbits have a schedule when to eat so I know how to follow instructions on when and what to feed other people’s pets. I’m very patient, understanding, and, fast it comes to some animals being shy/ scared or having extra amounts of energy that’s hard to contain at moments.

About: grown children, I have plenty of full-time availability, love, and attention to give to your furry family members! I am a lifelong dog lover with extensive hands-on experience, having lovingly raised five Chihuahuas through their senior years. My home features a spacious, fully fenced backyard in a quiet, gated neighborhood—perfect for safe play and daily exercise.

I love taking care of pets and spending my time with them I have a fenced backyard and also has an extra protection at the bottom so the dogs won’t be able to get out. I also live in a private gated neighborhood where not a lot of cars drive by.

Took excellent care of my pup, we weren’t able to do a meet and greet due to weather, but Jennifer was still able to come, easily found my place, and quickly made friends with my pup who is sometimes shy. He took to Jennifer instantly, and they had a great few walks, will definitely be booking again. 5 Stars!

Absolutely incredible! Managing a high-strung Boxer and a Plott Hound at the same time takes serious skill, but Marcelina handled them like an absolute pro. My Boxer’s intense energy and my Plott Hound’s strong nose can make walks a chaotic handful, but they both came home completely wiped out, calm, and happy. Marcelins was completely unfazed by their high energy and kept them safely focused the whole time. I will definitely be booking again—highly recommend to anyone with high-energy or working breeds!"

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cypress

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cypress is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 5,450 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cypress. 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 Cypress. 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 Cypress 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 Cypress. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
