About: I have worked with animals my whole life. I absolutely adore animals, any animals! I use to work with my aunt at the clinic she works at helping her care, feed, water, clean and play with the animals that would board there. I also help her with the animals that she fosters. I do lots of research on animals and learn how to handle them and care for them. I am pretty acknowledged with animals. I know different types of breeds and their behaviors and the care they need. I would be an awesome candidate to care for your animals because I would love and treat them as my own and put their needs above mine, it would be a dream to care for any and all of your animals! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! I am available anytime to help you and your animals! I absolutely love caring for animals and it’s all I want to do! I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I live in an apartment that is fenced in and on the bottom floor so your pet will be very safe! I do home visits as well!

About: I have loved and experienced dog sitting since I was in middle school. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and love their animals! I work part time for the oldest clock shop in Dallas. I can’t wait to love your fur baby as if you were there! I love to take my dog Lucy for a walks and give her treats. She can do a few tricks, but my favorite thing about her is that she cuddles with me when I sleep!

About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I also have experience with puppy training, including reinforcing basic commands, potty training routines, and creating positive habits. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, give them plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a full-time nursing student, so pet care is the perfect way for me to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m available most weekends and select weekdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. At my home, I have two separate fenced-in yards, which allow plenty of space for playtime, exercise, and separation if needed for different pets’ comfort and safety. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from the doggy parents!

About: While I too enjoy traveling I know how it can be when you can’t take your 4 legged family member(s) with you. I have 2 of my own Lionhead )fluff ball) bunnies of my own. I love fur babies of all breeds, shapes and sizes. While I don't have a dog or cat due to my hubbies allergies. I do love them all. Most of my friends or family have dog(s)/cat(s) and they all seem to love me and want my attention when I visit family and friends. When I 1st moved to Dallas my friend needed someone to let her dog out a couple times of day due to her long work hours. I was there to let Jackie out to potty and socialize. I became his Auntie Robin. Now every time I go to visit my friend he thinks I'm there for him and walk and play time. Of course I do this as he is so loveable I'm happy to go for a walk and play with my fur friend while visiting with my friend. I recently cared for my neighbors large and small dogs, 2 cats and a bird on a last minute need while they went away for the holiday weekend. I did home visit twice a day as requested. I would spend 30-45 minutes at the home as the owners requested. The dogs knew me & I was like family. They were happy to see me. I feed them, played with them, let them out to potty and gave appropriate treats for good behavior. My last day they dogs laid on top of me like I was their family. The dogs also listened to me when it was time to kennel them even though they didn't want to go in they did. I currently volunteer for the past 12 years with a domestic rabbit rescue. I go out to the rescue when I can to help, feed, care for special needs bunnies, clean up them yard/x-pens where the bunnies are housed. I give medication when needed. Including medication by means of oral, drops and shots. Including helping with the rescue I also foster bunnies in my home in addition to my 2 fur babies of lionhead bunnies. One of which can be seen in my pictures. Pet sitting/house sitting is my primary job. I enjoy spoiling my pets along with my clients pets. This makes my clients able to enjoy holiday or work trips without worry. As I make sure to treat the clients pet like my own and give lots of love and care like their human. Every pet not matter if my pet, friends, family or a client is an important part of my life when I’m with them. I make sure they know I’m there for them and I will love and care for them at all times.

About: Hello! My name is Flor, caring and advocating for animals is my passion. Currently, my hubs and I live with 6 furrkids (2 senior Great Pyrs, and 4 cats) and foster for 3 different rescue groups when able! My experience ranges from caring for elderly dogs needing meds and fluids, cats of all ages, and puppies, to farm sitting over 30 chickens/guineas, goats, llamas, and pigs. If you have never legged a llama with a prosthesis, you have not lived! I also have experience in feeding and medicating neonatal kittens, as well as younger kittens that have been orphaned. I would love to be part of your pet's comfort while you are not home, and will always send a plethora of pictures to keep your mind at ease. Thanks for reading! And tell your animals I said hi :) Please be aware that anything over 25 miles of distance that is not overnight stay, will include gas/mileage charges. I work from home, which means I can easily step away from my laptop and either go check on your pets, or stay at your home and be attentive to their needs at all times. It all depends on what your and your pet's level of comfort and needs are. I want to know routines and habits you have established with your pets, to make sure the transition to being cared for by someone new is as smooth and not stressful as possible. For example: my furkids have breakfast and dinner times, scheduled walks, meds that need giving, as well as every night brushing to unwind. Each animal and owner are different though, and that is what I want to learn so we can all be safe and comfortable!

About: What sets me apart? Simple — I believe pets deserve more than just someone to watch them. They deserve genuine love, patience, attention, and a little extra spoiling! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your furry friend is full of playful energy, a little shy, or simply enjoys a peaceful environment, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, dependable, and big on communication! You can expect updates, adorable pictures, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and tails that wag every time I return! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m available seven days a week after 2 PM, allowing me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to providing your furry family members with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s afternoon walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. I understand how important consistency and trust are when choosing someone to care for your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar surroundings. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my approach to match their comfort level, energy, and individual needs. When visiting a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to following all care instructions closely. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and making sure pets receive the attention they deserve. Communication is just as important to me as quality care! I provide updates and pictures so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are happy and in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel like family and every owner feel confident in choosing me! 🐶❤️

About: I've grown up around animals from cats and dogs to cows and horses. Big or small, I love them all. Outside of my own, I've been taking care of animals for the past 15+ years. You won't have to question if your pet is okay, because I communicate as much or as little as you prefer. The main thing I have to schedule around is my once a month weekend training. Other than that, I will be clear on my availability so that you don't have to question if I'm available or not. I live with a large dog, 2 medium dogs, and a cat of my own, so I'm okay with variety. If you have specific conditions or instructions for your pet, I will follow them to the T to ensure your pet is getting the best care.

About: I have been taking care of my dogs since I was a sophomore in college and now I am in graduate school. My dogs are my life and I treat them how I would any person. I am stern, yet gentle with my training, we go on daily walks and play time is all the time. I can show you better than I can tell you. My dogs are my daily routine. I get up at 7am faithfully and take both dogs to the restroom, then it’s feeding time, then it’s play time in the apartment, then it’s nap time. My dogs are on a strict schedule and love it. This is everyday, non stop until the right results are permanent. My apartment complex has a back yard fenced dog area. The puppies are safe and free to roam or run as they like and please.

I am now available for boarding at my home so feel free to look into that as well!! I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and truly believe they deserve all the love, attention, and affection in the world! I had a dog of my own who passed away a couple of years ago, and I still miss having that special companionship in my life. I’m ready to share that love with another pup and treat yours like my own! Whether it’s going on walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply keeping your dog company, I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and so loved while you’re away. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I would treat your fur baby with the same care and affection I would want someone to give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them lots of love! 🐾❤️ I work from home, which gives me some flexibility throughout the day to give your pup extra love and attention! I have a lunch break when I can take dogs out for a walk or potty break, and I’m off work at 5 p.m., so I can head straight out for an evening walk or spend time with your dog at home. I love being active and getting outside, so having a furry friend to join me would make my day even better! My goal is to make sure your pup feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in backyard where your pup can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air! I also live in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas, perfect for getting outside and enjoying some exercise. Whether your dog loves running around in the backyard, going on walks, or relaxing at home, I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay!

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats growing up! Friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets while out of town or taking their dogs on walks. I’m here to give you the assistance you need to make you and your pet pal happy!!😊 Im currently working full time M-F but work from home Friday so I have more availability! I am free on the weekends! I usually get off around 4-5 M-F but I’m willing to work earlier if I know in advance your pets feeding times :) For starters I would make sure (if possible) I’m able to meet your pet pal before so they can recognize me. I want to make sure we are both comfortable with eachother. I’d like to know the behavior of your pet as well! Some pets are more shy and reserved so it’s good to know that way I don’t startle your pet. I will make sure to clean out their water bowls so they can have a fresh water, groom if needed and make time to walk, play,and talk with with your pet pal! If there are any accidents(puppies are more likely to do this) I will be sure to clean up as if nothing ever happened. No one wants to come back to a trip with that type of surprise waiting on them😅I will also take your dog (or cat if that’s what he/she likes!) on walks!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Elmo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,640 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elmo. 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 Elmo. 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 Elmo 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 Elmo. On Rover:

  • 86% 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.
