“Alex was such a thoughtful dog walker for my pup. He even offered to stay after the walk because my dog was being stubborn about his crate! Could not recommend enough!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

About: Hello. I'm Jonathan, and I love all animals as I grew up around dogs, cats and even horses. I'm in the tech and training industry, but I was also trained as a chef in Paris and have dual French and American citizenships. I have a Bachelor's degree in the language field, and while I've been pet sitting for years, I'm excited now to offer Rover clients my services. Last minute requests are totally fine. [Updated 09/29/26] I’m currently in a career transition and actively job searching, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because interviews and other commitments can come up with relatively short notice, I generally open my Rover calendar only one to two weeks in advance. If you’re looking for dates farther out—or if my calendar shows me as unavailable—please send me a message anyway. I may still be able to accommodate your request. And once I accept a booking, you can count on me to honor that commitment. I have a huge fenced-in back yard for supervised run-around doggie playtime, and your pets are welcome to stay in my home where they can hang out with me and my two fluffy, friendly cats, Pepper and Oreo. With lots of petting, nap times, and opportunities for treats, it is a joy for me to care for your pets. I believe animals are the best kind of happiness humans can experience. Oh for boarding requests I live near a park with a lake, so walks to the lake are always available.

About: I have a 5 year old dog I have raised and trained from a puppy and I have also dog sat for many of my neighbors dogs/puppys and cats. I love animals and I take pride in my abilities to fulfill to their needs and your desires for them as a pet owner. If you plan to book with me you can expect me to put all my effort into making sure your pets are safe and comfortable.

I am very adaptable to the environments I will be placed into and to ensure your pet is as safe as possible I will always make sure there is nothing dangerous in the pets reach, I can crate the pet if necessary, and I can make sure there aren't any areas professional escape artists like my polly and other pets can get out of.

About: Hi! My name is Madelyn, and I’m a TCU college student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, and rats. I currently have two dogs and a cat at home who I miss every day while I’m at school! Growing up, I’ve always helped take care of my own pets and have regularly dog and cat sat for family and friends. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’m currently a college student at TCU studying Early Childhood Education, so my schedule has some flexibility! I don’t have classes on Fridays, and my Sundays are open after I teach Sunday School at noon. On Wednesdays, I’m finished with classes by 1 PM, and Saturdays are generally pretty open unless there is a TCU home football game, go frogs! I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s schedule and find a time that works best for both of us! Your pet’a safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for your pets in your home, I will respect any rules, routines, and boundaries you have for me and your pets. I’ll make sure your pets are cared for according to their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention.

I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your pets are in caring and responsible hands while you’re away.

About: While most of my personal pet-care experience is with cats, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other needs. I’ll also provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your dog is safe and cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate visits around your animal’s usual feeding schedule and routine whenever possible. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability before confirming a booking. I care for pets in their own home, where they can feel most comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter-box, and household instructions while respecting each animal’s boundaries and personality. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or appetite, cautious with doors and windows, and will provide dependable updates and photos after every visit.

About: I've lived with dogs my whole adult life and raised both of mine from puppies: a 13-year-old bull terrier (75 lbs) and a 3-year-old Yorkie (10 lbs). I'm confident with strong, stubborn dogs, gentle with tiny ones, and experienced with puppy training, from leash manners to potty routines to basic commands. My bull terrier is reactive, so I know how to manage dogs who get nervous or overexcited around other dogs. I stay calm, keep a safe distance, and plan routes to avoid stressful situations. I also understand senior dogs: slower walks, sore joints, and plenty of water and rest breaks. I'm prepared for emergencies too. I know pet first aid, including how to spot and treat overheating and how to care for cuts, and I know how to perform pet CPR. What sets me apart: I treat every dog like my own. I follow your routine and commands, keep leashes secure, and send photo updates during walks. I'm patient, reliable, and on time. I have a full time job but I work nights so I am free for walks in the morning and afternoon although I do have some availability at night and on weekends. I currently only do dog walks although I may add home care later in my home or the client’s home. I will add more info regarding this as needed.

Lori is a fantastic puppy sitter! She is beyond dependable and has great communication, anyone’s pet would be lucky to have the chance to hang out with her for a bit. So thankful we found Lori and were able to leave our boy in her care, she really put our minds at ease knowing our baby would get some much needed TLC while we had to be away from our house for the majority of the day. 100% recommend reaching out to Lori to care for your pet!

We can’t recommend him enough! He took such amazing care of our two dogs, Sunny and Hutch, and treated them like they were his own. From walks and playtime to regular updates and photos, it was obvious how much he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. Knowing Sunny and Hutch were in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and truly passionate about caring for dogs, he is the one to book.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fort Worth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fort Worth is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 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 5,406 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fort Worth. 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 Fort Worth. 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 Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
