About: I've been around dogs my whole life I truly enjoy animals. I have had 5 dogs in my 19 years of living and have grown up taking care and loving animals! I've also had multiple birds 😊 I'm in college so my schedual can be very flexible. I can talk about working holidays. I work hard and make sure your pets are happy and taken care of I like to play with the pets. I make sure pets are fed and have water with whatever schedual animal parent has. If parents are ok I will take the animals on walks and also check up on animals frequently. I also provide me staying over night if comfortable and needed
About: Hey there! I’ve been pet sitting for over a decade and have experience caring for animals of all kinds—whether they have fur, feathers, or scales. While I primarily care for dogs and cats, I’m also very comfortable with birds, reptiles, and other non-traditional pets. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every animal I care for. If you have a unique pet or specific needs, I’d be happy to help! Though I work full time, I involve pet care in my every day routine. If I'm up, they're up, if I'm outside, they're outside. I live an active lifestyle. I incorporate them in my daily life, so if they are a dog that enjoys walking, I incorporate that into my routine. If they’re a couch potato then we will be couch potatoes together.
About: Will provide all necessary care for your dogs needs. I’m married no children , have had pets all my life and I dog sit for my friends for years why not get paid for what I love to do. I had a cocker for 13 years, American Bulldog, and English Bulldog, current have a English Bulldog puppy. I am also in the medical field and will be able to handle emergencies if they happen. I don’t believe in animal cruelty and I feel sometimes people need to get out or have to run errands and the dogs shouldn’t have to be locked up when they can be loved on while the owners handle business. This is something I enjoy and not trying to get rich.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities. I take them on walks and to the park and give them lots of cuddles! :D
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how it is when you’re wanting to trust someone! Have no fear! I’ll be your fur baby favorite homegirl! I work full time (for myself) Monday-Thursday. My availability would be starting sometimes Thursday evening or Fridays-Sundays. However I’m open to being as flexible as needed! While I’m home we tend to chill or play with toys! When it’s nap time we nap in crates and go outside to play after!
About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I adore interacting with and caring for fun-loving pets! I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats in my neighborhood, and enjoyed every minute of it. I have experience sitting for various animals, including sick pets who required medical care (vaccinations/shots, medications, etc.). I also have experience housesitting over extended periods of time. My goal is to give your pet as much love and attention as they deserve. Let me know if you are interested! I am currently working part-time, though my schedule is flexible and varies day-to-day. I will have plenty of time to look after your loving animals! I will make sure your dog or cat is properly fed and walked, has had lots of cuddles and love, and has company in the event of an overnight stay!
About: I have loved and handled pets/animals of all kind since I was a toddler with no fear in sight. Outside of my own pets, most of my family and friends have always had some sort of pet that I have watched or taken care of- dogs, cats, snakes, fish, turtles, ferrets, lizards, some of everything. My grandfather also had a farm with horses, chickens and cattle that my brother and I helped him take care of. I am a substitute teacher, so I don’t work everyday, and get to choose when I work. This also means that I have the summer and holidays off so my flexibility is very high. If I am in someone else’s home caring for their pet, I follow all rules set by the owner for both the pet I’m watching and myself. If I am watching a pet at my home, I make sure everything is very neat and clean so there are no health hazards and they can’t get into things they shouldn’t.
About: I’m a caring, attentive pet sitter who treats every animal like they’re my own! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including young kittens and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, walks, administering medications and cleaning up after pets. Every animal has their own routine and comfort level and I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos! I follow instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule. I’m attentive and careful with doors, gates, leashes, food and medications. I keep their environment clean and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection.
“The dream team here! They were punctual & took the time to learn more about my fur babies walking habits. Mya is our more difficult dog as she barks at all wildlife and fast moving cars. This did happen on our walk today and they handled Mya perfectly, taking control of the situation. Will book future services and recommend them to my family members”
“Lydia has been so helpful in making sure our Astro gets enough exercise during the week when we are slammed with little ones and juggling schedules. Thank you so much for your flexibility and helping out our family!”
About: Hello! I grew up with various animals since I was a child and have cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. Through patience and kindness, I am confident I can create a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule at this time and I would love to assist any pet parent! 😊 I currently have a flexible schedule. I can work around the times/dates of the requested services. I can do one time, or consistent schedules. I have a fenced back yard and other friendly pets. However, if your pet prefers their privacy, I also have a separate living area where I can provide care at a more comfortable pace.
About: Hi there, my name is Jordynn. Proud dog mom to 4 pups. From as early I can remember animals have been a big part of my life and that’s why I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their pets. I’m new to Rover. It wasn’t until a recent trip of mine where our sitter canceled last minute that I signed up for and used this service. That Rover sitter was a life savor and I knew I wanted to be that life savor for other people. I’ve taken care of a wide array of breeds from frenchies to pitbulls of all ages. I have 3+ years experience with misunderstood dogs such as trauma survivors or dogs labeled “aggressive”. I pride myself on providing every animal a loving and safe experience where they can be themselves and feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your baby in the hands of someone else and I assure you I will help relieve you of all of that stress. Photos and communication are my speciality. Looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies 🐶🐱 I currently work as an independent contractor for videography so i have a very flexible schedule but making sure pets in my care get all the potty breaks and attention they need comes first. I will diligently follow any guidelines provided to me from the customer and treat any home or furbaby with the same high level of respect I treat my own home and furbabies with.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. My family has always had dogs and cats as part of our family. As the older sibling I have always been the go to person for both babysitting and animal sitting. I am currently unemployed and have open availability for weekdays and weekends. Mornings, and afternoons as well as boarding options for anyday of the week I live in a half an acre home with a fenced yard. I have the sweetest most friendliest golden doodle retriever mix that loves to play and make new friends
About: I am a fourth-year medical student at UT Southwestern, preparing to graduate and begin residency. Over the past 2–3 years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, primarily helping my roommates by looking after their pets while they are away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, providing companionship, and making sure their dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. As a medical student, I understand the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I take these qualities seriously and bring the same level of dedication to caring for pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I prioritize following instructions, maintaining routines, and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind. Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, keeping them company, or caring for them while you’re away, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for both you and your pet! As a fourth-year medical student approaching graduation, I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. With a lighter academic workload during my final year, I am looking to make the most of my free time by pursuing pet sitting as both an enjoyable hobby and an opportunity to earn some extra income. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to use this flexibility to help pet owners who need someone reliable and caring. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I currently live in a condo that provides a comfortable, clean, and safe indoor environment where your fur baby will be welcomed and cared for. Our community also has a gated dog yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and take care of their business under my supervision. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, so I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medications, or other preferences. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am equally committed to respecting their space and maintaining their pet’s normal routine. As a fourth-year medical student, I value responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I am always happy to provide regular updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, whether it's a playful puppy full of energy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and gentle care. I'm dependable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also believe in keeping owners updated so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekends and holidays! I also offer overnight stays when needed. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I'm happy to accommodate each pet's needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am dedicated to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! Although my own beloved pets are no longer with us, caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection! I respect each client's home and follow all instructions carefully. Whether it's a quick visit or an overnight stay, my goal is to treat every pet like family and give their owners peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands.
About: I take care of your pets like they're my own! I know that leaving your pet is hard on both you and them, so I do my best to make the distance easier for both of you in whatever way I can. I've been taking care of animals for about 17 years on and off but, in the last year I have been doing in-home pet sitting full time through TrustedHousesitters. Overall though, I hope to be able to step in and give your pet the love and attention they need while you're away! My daily schedule is very flexible and generally revolves around the animals I'm watching. I always do my best to keep them on their regular schedule so it's a smooth transition from pet parent to me and back. I am more than happy to go by any rules or routines you may have for your animal or your in-home guests. I understand that I am in your space when I am sitting and want to respect that to the best of my ability.
“Katherine is great with our dogs, shows up on time and spends the full 30 minutes requested with them to make sure they get all the jitters out of their system.”

Everything has gone great! From the initial meet-and-greet to completing her first week of walks with Luna, it’s been a total success with Amanda. Her communication is A+, she’s friendly, always on time (if not early), and most importantly—Luna really likes her. I truly appreciate her help in getting my dog active and comfortable.

The average cost of Dog Walking in DeSoto 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.

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 DeSoto. 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 DeSoto 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 DeSoto. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
