About: Hi! I’m Kate, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me- It’s my full-time career, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it. I grew up with dogs and cats and currently share my home with a dog, two cats, and three gargoyle geckos. Over the years I’ve also cared for bearded dragons, snakes, axolotls, spiders, and isopods, so I’m comfortable with both traditional and exotic pets. One of my greatest strengths is working with pets that need a little extra patience. I have experience caring for highly reactive dogs and understand how important it is to move at their pace, read their body language, respect their boundaries, and build trust. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or reactive, my goal is always to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Because pet sitting is my full-time focus, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pets won’t be rushed into a quick visit between other obligations- they’ll receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know every pet is an individual. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some want endless belly rubs, and others are happiest just having a calm companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and personality, whether that means long walks, enrichment games, cuddle time, or simply giving them space when they need it. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. That’s why communication is one of my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pets are doing. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable while your home is treated with the utmost respect. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior cat, a reactive dog, or an exotic pet with specialized needs, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while giving your pets the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! Because pet care is my full-time career, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide variety of booking needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, as well as weekends and most holidays. Whether you need a last-minute drop-in, a consistent daily schedule, or care while you’re away on vacation, I’ll do my best to work around your needs. Since I don’t have another full-time job competing for my attention, your pets receive dedicated, reliable care and aren’t rushed between appointments. I know that life doesn’t always go according to plan, so I’m happy to accommodate schedule changes and last-minute requests whenever my calendar allows. My goal is to make finding dependable pet care as easy and stress-free as possible for you. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to ensure they receive the best possible care. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including highly reactive dogs, and I always use calm, patient handling while respecting each animal’s boundaries. For pets staying in my home, I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and enrichment while supervised. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, leaving it just as I found it. You’ll receive daily updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

“Lauren is an excellent dog walker. She was always prompt. She evaluated Clancy's needs each time to determine walk or not (especially when very hot outside), or play instead and worked on commands and provided meal, treats and water. She always provided feedback on Clancy and activities included. We loved the pictures & video she provided with each visit. We'd definitely use Lauren again. Also note that Clancy is a puppy (7 months old & weighs 48+ lbs) with lots of energy and Lauren handled him expertly.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly believe pets are part of the family! Growing up, I regularly pet sat and walked dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve also cared for cats and understand that they each have their own routines, personalities, and comfort levels. While in college, I worked as a Wag! walker and absolutely loved getting to know different dogs and their individual personalities. I now have a Mini Schnauzer of my own who is very much part of the family. I’ve also traveled with dogs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m friendly, active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, your cat prefers some quiet company and attention, or your pet just needs someone to keep their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so walks and playtime fit naturally into my day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention. I know consistency is important for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised play and potty breaks, as well as a friendly Mini Schnauzer of our own. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them the space or attention they need. We also have a basement area that can be completely blocked off if your pet prefers their own quiet space or needs some time away from our dog. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I can remember. I have taken a vet technician class, dog trainer class from Animal Behavior College (to train people to train dogs) and I assisted in a sniff test for dogs being certified for smelling certain drugs or illnesses. I have raised dogs from puppies, and regularly walk my own dogs. I can do basic grooming ( nail trim, bath, exc.) I have walked 4 larger dogs at one time so I can walk most packs. I work my full time job Wednesday to Saturday, rest on Sunday and I am able to work Monday and Tuesday most weeks. I would be happy to set up a regular schedule of walking a dog(s) I treat my dogs like my kids. They eat better than I do (i cook dog healthy meals for them when i can), have more toys than I know what to do with for them, and I walk them regularly.

About: I have the biggest heart for our furry friends and express this to any and all dogs and cats that surround me! I not only grew up with dogs but have two of my own that are my babies. I know what it means to be a pet owner and provide only the best care for them. Whether it is endlessly throwing the ball for them at the park or rubbing them until they sleep, I am here to help out for any of their needs! I love taking the babies out to stretch or exercises and cuddling up on the couch and snuggling with them. I currently work remotely full time. This makes it easier to devote time and be with your pet. I live up north but am able to commute depending on the area. You tell me their needs, and I will make sure they are met. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and at ease.

About: I am Suzy I grew up on a farm in a small town. I just retired from being a private hospice caregiver. I have experience with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, goats and horses. I have had my own dogs and cats and started helping more with pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I have an alternative medicine degree and it has helped me not only in my personal life but also with my animals lives. I am good with dogs and cats that have high energy and separation anxiety. I am loving being retired and building my pet sitting business that revolves around cuddles with cats and dogs. I started doing this because I have 3 grand pups and 1 grand cat along with 1 human grand daughter and it has brought me peace and happiness. I was lost on what I wanted to do with this part of my life. I immensely enjoy pet sitting and meeting new pet owners and pets. I am not in a position to have pets at my home. However in your home I am there to help your animal not feel alone by giving them the attention they need or what you have requested.

About: I am reliable when it comes to dog care because of my experience in dog-sitting for my friends, and taking care of my own pup when my parents are out of town. I am able to walk long ways with dogs, play with them for an extended amount of time, stick to a feeding schedule set by the owner, and keep the dog company and comfortable. Though I don't have experience in dogs with special needs, senior dogs, or have never had an emergency occur, I am willing to learn about the needs that a dog might have to keep the owner, and dog, at peace. I love the bond that I got with the dogs I have sat, and any future furry friendship that might happen! I am a full time student in my third year at Whitworth University who can provide pet care during some hours of the weekdays and weekends. I am willing to compromise with the pet owner about when they will need me to pet-sit. My family has owned dogs since I was 5 and it has always been my responsibility to feed them, bathe, and play with them. I also have loved taking them for walks, playing catch and snuggling with them. I am still able to take care of my current parent's dog, Frodo, if I ever need pet therapy from college or if they leave for a few days.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs as pets all my life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I truly enjoy their different personalities, from the energetic pups who want to play and explore to the ones who are happiest curled up next to you. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, kindness, attention, and love that I’ve always given my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while they’re with me. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while also respecting your home and your instructions.

About: Hello! My name is Emma Brown and I work in the outdoor field hoping to work with wildlife in the future. I have always had dogs in my household growing up. Ever since I was young, I made it my job to teach my dogs tricks, make sure they don’t get into trouble, and give them the best home. At one point, my childhood dog had a litter of 11 chocolate lab puppies. I helped to raise them up all the way until they left for their new homes. I also watched other people’s dogs growing up. I have always made it my priority to understand each pet owners request and stick to that schedule. Prioritizing each dog’s safety and health has always been my biggest strength as well. This is what I love to do and I can’t wait to get to know your pets! I’m currently in between jobs right now and will have a lot of time to be with your pets. Depending on what you ask, I can take out your pets on walks, to be let out, or to just be around however long you may ask for. Just let me know what schedule you’d like me to fit into. I unfortunately can’t house your dog in my home. I can pet and house sit to make sure to keep their schedule as normal as possible. I always try my best to prioritize their safety and health, so only giving them their own food and treats is how I do so. I don’t feed my own pets my extra food scraps so don’t worry about that. Once you let me know of their schedule, I’ll follow it to the best of my ability. I would also love to know their mannerisms and quirks so I can best approach them and their care.

About: I've been taking care of dogs of every kind since i was 7 years old. I also started my own dog walking business in the 6th grade walking neighbors, family, and friends dogs. As well as training my own dogs with potty training skills and adaptability. I also do well with un-trained dogs who are combative and temperamental by having completed a dog school training class. Your cherished pet will be handled with care, love, and in the best hands possible. I am open to same day bookings and will also be able to show via phone or in person the place where the onboarding will be held. All services are provided, i will always begin to ask for any diet restrictions, bad habits, and skin conditions. For while in my care i will be feeding, playing, walking, and more than likely bathing your pet so i want to be able to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and comfortable while in my care.

About: Hi, I'm Stephanie, and this is my husband Luke. We're your Critter Companions, and with us, two is always better. For overnight stays we work as a team, which means double the attention, double the playtime, and an extra set of eyes on your property. We specialize in residential pet and property care. As independent caretakers, our mission is estate-level care that gives you complete peace of mind: your pets stay comfortable in their own home, and your property is truly looked after, not just checked on. ✦ What We Specialize In We're especially comfortable with the pets and situations that need extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets (blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex) ✓ Complex medication schedules: pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds that need extensive grooming, intense exercise, or dedicated training ✓ Extended stays, comfortably caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care, because I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's ✓ Multi-pet households, managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Anxious or reactive pets, with patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure ✦ A Little About Us We were both raised around animals, but I turned that passion into my life's work. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, the neighborhood's trusted pet sitter long before it was a profession. Thirteen years later, I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds with special medical needs, for stays ranging from long weekends to month-long holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is how I read animals. I pick up on the subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not going through the motions; I love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and your home. ✦ Your Home, Cared For I look after your home just as carefully: mail, plants, trash bins, security checks, and that lived-in presence that keeps your property safe. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can truly relax while you're away. ✦ Values You Can Trust Beyond the practical care, we believe the people you let into your home matter just as much as the work they do. We love the Lord, and our faith in Jesus shapes how we run our business and how we treat what's entrusted to us. For us that means a simple, steady lifestyle: we don't drink, smoke, party, or invite guests into your home. While you're away, your house stays exactly as it should, quiet, respected, and cared for, with nothing happening under your roof that you wouldn't welcome yourself. When you hand us your keys, you're trusting us with your home and your family. We take that seriously, and we hold ourselves to it no matter the circumstances. ✦ Let's Connect Over the years I've built lasting relationships with pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. I'd be honored to earn that same trust from you. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your pets (and home) like their own, let's connect. Pet care isn't a side hustle for me—it's my primary focus and passion. My husband and I are entrepreneurs with flexible schedules, which means we can provide the kind of attentive, present care that pets truly need. For overnight stays, we're in your home from evening through the following morning (and throughout the day if needed), so your pets are never alone for extended periods. We don't juggle multiple clients at once or rush between appointments. When we commit to caring for your pets, they have our full attention for the duration of your trip. We're available for extended stays including weekends, holidays, and even month-long commitments. Because we work as a team, your pets benefit from having two consistent caregivers who can coordinate schedules, provide extra play sessions, and ensure someone is always nearby if needed. In Your Home: I've been around animals literally since I was an infant—they've always been my comfort, my joy, and honestly, my obsession. There's something about the presence of animals that just feels like home to me, and that's exactly the energy I bring to your pets and property. As the owner of a young, energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd, I know firsthand what it takes to meet the demands of intelligent, high-energy breeds. I'm devoted to keeping my own dog mentally stimulated, physically tired, and emotionally fulfilled—and I bring that same level of commitment to every pet in my care. Your pets aren't just a job to me; they're loved and treated with the same compassion and attention I give my own. Pet Safety & Care: ✓I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, medication schedules, exercise patterns, and house rules ✓Secure all doors, windows, and gates before letting pets outside (no escape artists on my watch!) ✓Keep toxic plants, foods, and hazards out of reach ✓Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health ✓Have your vet information and emergency contacts readily accessible ✓Never introduce your pets to unfamiliar animals or people without permission ✓Provide the mental stimulation and physical activity your pets need to stay happy and healthy Home Security & Cleanliness: ✓Maintain a "lived-in" presence with lights, blinds, and your normal routine ✓Collect mail and packages to avoid signaling an empty home ✓Take trash bins to/from curb on collection days ✓Water plants and maintain your home's appearance ✓Provide regular photo/video updates so you can see everything (and everyone) is doing great ✓I pride myself on attention to detail and cleanliness—you'll come home to a thoroughly cleaned space that exceeds expectations Trust & Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect—no unauthorized guests ever and I leave your space cleaner than I found it. My husband and I work as a team, which means your pets get double the love and your home gets double the oversight. The best part? When you walk through that door after your trip, your pets will be more giddy than ever to see you—well-exercised, well-loved, and so happy you're home. And you can relax knowing everything was handled with care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Deer Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Deer Park is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $44 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 October 2026, there are 956 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Deer Park. 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 Deer Park. 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 Deer Park 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 Deer Park. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
