I needed temporary help taking 3 dogs on morning walks, especially early since one of them was a senior dog! Luckily, I found Christina! Her price was affordable and service was excellent! She was reliable, always punctual and even aaccommodated to my slight change of time for the senior dog. Don't hesitate to book her to take care of your fur baby! Thank you Christina! I couldn't have made it through those 3 weeks without your help!

Darius was great! This was my first time using Rover and was a bit nervous, but my pup loved her time with him. It was just a 30 minute walk but he sent me a video, thank you again!

I cannot recommend Eva enough! From the very beginning, she has been incredibly professional, reliable, and genuinely caring toward my dog. It’s clear that she doesn’t just see this as a job—she truly loves what she does. She is very diligent and thoughtful during her visits, always making sure my dog is well cared for and comfortable. Her communication is excellent, and she is always warm, pleasant, and easy to interact with. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog is in such capable and kind hands. Highly recommend!!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra patience and care. I have a very active Brittany Spaniel, so I’m especially great with high-energy dogs, but I also love slower-paced companions. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will follow your dog’s routine closely—while keeping you updated with photos so you always feel at ease. I am currently available all day-everyday (taking a break from corporate life). So I can help with all of your pups needs and even step in last minute. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog—I expect the same for mine. I’ll respect your routines, preferences, and any specific instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for.

About: I currently have three fur babies of my own: Gia and Grizzly, who are littermates, and Blondie, who I found the day before I moved into my current home — I'm convinced she was a housewarming gift from the universe. My household also includes my cousin and roommate Jackeline, whose cat Stormy keeps everyone on their toes, so yes... cats are absolutely welcome here too! ◡̈ Beyond my own babies, I'm an active foster for Heart of the Underdog, a Houston-based rescue nonprofit. I also volunteer at the Houston Humane Society, and throughout college I spent weekends walking dogs for Friends for Life, another Houston rescue. Caring for animals has been a constant thread throughout my adult life, not an occasional thing. I'm embedded in my East Downtown (EaDo) neighborhood and have been an informal go-to sitter for neighbors' dogs and cats for years. **** I've recently added a new experience to my resume: one of my foster dogs gave birth in my home, so I'm officially experienced in newborn puppy care too. I'm the happiest version of myself when I'm surrounded by animals and helping them have a better quality of life. This isn't just a side gig for me, it's genuinely my happy place. I'm available throughout the week and genuinely love having pets around, the more the merrier. Outside of caring for my own three pups and any active fosters, I have a flexible, open schedule that makes it easy to give visiting pets real time and attention, not just check-ins. Weekends work great too. I'm not just fitting pet care in around a packed calendar, it's a priority, not an afterthought. My dogs free-roam at home, and I'm experienced at managing a multi-dog household safely, including around food and toy guarding situations. My own pups range from 60–90 lbs, so large breeds are totally comfortable here and very welcome. Through fostering, I've worked with reactive dogs, puppies, and pregnant mamas...and I've even delivered a litter of puppies in my home. I've also done hands-on training and confidence-building work with fosters who needed extra patience and support. I'm very tuned in to dog body language and behavior. I pay attention to what a dog is telling me, and I adjust my approach based on what they actually need, not just what the routine calls for.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for over 27 years, starting with my first pup, Mystic, a Chow Mix/German Shepherd. Since then, I’ve raised and cared for multiple dogs, including Paco (Husky mix), Kiko, Lisha, Marley, and their mom, Sasha. From playful puppies to loving seniors, I’ve experienced it all and know how to handle a variety of needs with care and patience. Dogs bring so much joy, and I can’t wait to give yours the same love and attention! I'm an early riser thanks to my dog Cloud and I currently work from home from 10:30am-7pm CST so I have lots of time in the morning for playtime, walks, cuddles etc. Since I work from home, I will always have an eye out for your dog and have a very flexible schedule! My dog loves to cuddle with me while I'm working sometimes and I would be happy to cuddle with your pup as well! I have several breaks in between my shift including a 30min lunch so I can take your pup out for plenty of potty breaks & outdoor sniffs! I am a homebody during the week but love to go to Buffalo Bayou Park on the weekends since its around the corner from my apartment. My apartment is very centrally located, im about 3 miles from downtown, 4 miles from The Museum District etc so you can also leave your dog with me while you are visiting Houston! *** For drop in visits during the weekday, I am available anytime before 10:30am and anytime after 7pm. On the weekends I am available anytime. Although I live in an apartment complex, I do have a small outdoor patio that opens up to a lush courtyard where dogs can sniff or potty. There is also a small, fenced outdoor dog park inside my apartment complex. Bayou Buffalo Park is also around the corner from my apartment. The emergency vet hospital (VEG) is less than half a mile from my apartment and I am experienced with the dog heimlich maneuver. I have also "doggie proofed" my apartment and have created a safe haven for my rescue dog Cloud. I have multiple dog beds lying around my apartment and a crate full of dog toys so boredom is never an issue! I also have cool dog puzzles that help stimulate your dogs brain! My dog is allowed on the furniture and also on the bed because life is short, why not :) But if you prefer they not be on the furniture, just let me know! I try to care for your dog just like you care for them so that there is a continuity of care. Please give me as many details about the care of your pup as possible such as specific feeding times, the number of treats they're allowed etc. Sometimes, dogs may need their own space depending on their personality, which I can easily create using baby gates if needed to create a divider. I have a LOT of space in my apartment for your dog to roam since I do not like clutter so I converted my dining room area into my dog's own personal man cave lol theres toys, and a huge area to lounge.

Darius was kind and has great energy. My dog took to him pretty instantly and let him pet all over her. He responded really quickly to my initial message requesting a walk and was able to do a meet and greet the very next day. He sent lots of pics and listened attentively when I explained all this Amber(my dog) to him.

Kiara has been amazing with our puppy, Laila. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with dogs. She goes beyond just walking and feeding. She has been helping with training and reinforcing good habits, and we have already seen a big difference in Laila’s behavior. What we appreciate most is how thoughtful and proactive she is. She pays attention, makes helpful suggestions, and genuinely cares. I would absolutely recommend Kiara to anyone looking for someone dependable and truly invested in the dogs she works with.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Downtown dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Downtown.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
