“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: Hi! I am a college student at Texas Christian University and I have had pets since I was a baby! I have had experience with all types of dogs from Pomeranian puppies to German Shepard. While I am at home I cat, dog, and house sit or just pop in to walk the dogs and check on everything! I am currently a full time college student but end most of my days pretty early! I would need a day notice to make sure your schedule fits mine! I am living in the dorms right now so I am unable to house any animals. Though I wish I could, maybe when I get my own house.

“Marisol was a life saver taking on not one but two last minute requests when my plans changed at the very last minute. She was very sweet, polite, and respectful. She communicated throughout both walks and was so caring of my pup. I will definitely be booking with her again, and fully recommend her!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 4-5 years. Dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my church family and friends, I really enjoy it. I also have a fur baby of my own. I love him so much, and he is so spoiled, like any animal should be! I’m not really busy other than running maybe a few errands. I will be able to stay and play with your fur baby’s most of the day and all night. I have a spacious backyard where they can run and play. I do have 1 dog, golden retriever- he’s super sweet and friendly. Although, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: As a proud pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I have plenty of firsthand experience caring for animals! I’m their primary caretaker, so I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities of feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I understand that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m always happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care! I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can easily accommodate different routines and schedules. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to work around their needs and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve! I’m a very reliable, responsible, and respectful person, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home! I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel happy and secure. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, routines, or preferences you have to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I’m always mindful and respectful of their space. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in caring and trustworthy hands!

About: I want to befriend your pet(s) 🐶🐱🐾! I love long walks, especially when accompanied by a furry friend! I work remote so I have a lot of flexibility for doggy walks and pet drop-ins. I can also work from your home if you are looking for somebody to be home with your fur baby for a set amount of hours each day (e.g. new puppy, recovering pet, etc). Growing up in a multi-pet household means that I have experience from a young age bonding with and taking care of pets. I started to do extended overnight pet sitting when I was a college student back in 2010. I have pet sat for both single and multi-pet households. I have experience sitting for puppies and kittens, high energy pets, seniors, and pets with special needs. As a pet sitter I give the same care that I expect for my own fur babies: feeding, medicating (as needed), grooming, exercising, and showering them with affection. I’ll be sure to send you updates that include pictures and videos of your fur kiddos. Aside from caring for your pets, I am a very clean and organized person so your home will be in the same or better condition than you left it. I have no problem maintaining a clean environment while you’re gone whether that includes vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, wiping counters,etc; we all know our furry friends can leave a trail! I work remotely as an instructional designer which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I am able to create my own hours and work from anywhere that has WiFi. Since I work remotely, you can have peace-of-mind knowing that your pet is receiving constant supervision. Clients have trusted me with the well-being of their pets from young fur babies to senior companions. I am a very detail-focused person and will make sure to follow the protocols and routines that your pets are used to so that they are as stress-free as possible while you are 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.

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.
