About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide personalized care that ensures your pet’s happiness, health, and comfort while you’re away. I’ve had the pleasure of working with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My genuine love for animals drives my work. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and engaged while in my care. Whether it’s taking long walks, playing games, or simply offering cuddles and companionship, I aim to make your pet’s time with me as enjoyable as possible. 💕 I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend! 😊 I’m available for drop-in visits, taking your pets on walks, administering medication to your pets as needed, entertaining/playing with your pets, feeding and loving on your furry sweetie’s, etc! 💖 When I care for your pet in your home, I prioritize their comfort, happiness, and safety, ensuring they feel secure while maintaining your established routines. My goal is to provide seamless care that allows you to leave with peace of mind, knowing your pet and home are in good hands. 🙌 During drop-in visits, I tailor my time to meet your pet’s needs, whether that means feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up accidents, or offering cuddles and companionship. I ensure their environment is tidy, stress-free, and aligned with the routine they’re used to. I also take the time to engage your pet with play, training, or calming affection to keep them content. 🦴

About: I have dog sat for 3 years and have taken care of a puppy and an elderly pup who was blind and deaf! I can take care of yours too! When I am not at school or busy I can take care of anyone’s pet! I have some free time during my schedule and would like to use it profitably. If a pet doesn’t normally eat on their own I will sit next to them until they are done and I will always watch them when they use the potty.

About: We’re a husband-and-wife team who treat other people’s animals the way we treat our own: with attention, routine, and respect. We’ve spent a lifetime around animals of every size—fish, reptiles, rabbits (we raised a whole family), birds, rats, dogs, cats, goats, chickens, horses and more! We rescued many animals over the years and raised our kids on that same principle: every creature deserves care. Part of that life was on a ranch, so we’re used to early mornings, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and staying calm when something unexpected happens. We are American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid (including pet CPR) certified! We work individually, or as a pair (the more pets the merrier), so there’s usually more than one set of hands and eyes. We follow your instructions, send updates, and keep your pet’s routine as close to home as we can. Comfortable with dogs, cats, and all other species. Open to seniors, younglings, and multi-pet homes Fine with meds We both work Monday–Friday, varied times (from early morning until 3), but weekday care is always available in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and evening routines. Weekends are wide open for all-day pet fun! 🐾 We plan our bookings around our work schedules so your pets aren’t left waiting and always get plenty of love and attention. As a husband-and-wife team, we can also tag-team when needed! Our goal is to make caring for your pets feel easy, dependable, and just like home. ❤️🐶🐱 We come to your home for walks and drop-ins (boarding will be available in the future). We follow your feeding, potty, walk, and medication routine, spend the full visit with your pet, and leave the house as we found it. Weekdays after 3:00; weekends anytime. Photo updates after each visit.

About: Hello! I am Kyle and I have had dogs and cats my entire life, I love animals and wish I had space for more. Currently I have one antisocial 10 yr old bowling ball (old English bulldog) who I adopted when he was 1. I thought with some work he might accept other dogs but it turns out he prefers people and kitties exclusively in his life. My wife and I keep him entertained most days though, and he does sleep maybe 80% of the time haha. For the past 12 years I have pet sit in-home and house sit for a handful of families I know in the area. I have recently switched to part time employment to focus more on pet sitting and my art. I have found an animal rescue to volunteer with in my spare time in every place I’ve lived in. My profile picture is from an event I helped organize with Three Little Pitties Rescue in Friendswood. At my previous job we held pet food drive and “puppy time” events with the community a few times a year. Before this I worked with a rescue out in the country in North Texas cleaning up after and feeding the pups. I am available for in-home pet sitting, day visits, or dog walking only. I am a big guy, 6’ and 230lbs so I am good with big dogs but I need to know up front if they will try to bolt on me on leash or something so I am prepared. I have lots of experience with reactive dogs, and dogs who are difficult to walk on lease. I am flexible and respectful, I understand things come up or schedules need to be adjusted for you or your pets. I will show up on time and I always have reliable transportation. Send a message with a little bit about what you are looking for and any questions for me. I am looking forward to meeting you! I currently work part time and help take care of my mom most days. Pet care for me will be drop in and leave after, not staying long periods during the day or overnight. Frequency of visits and overnight need to be discussed first, if your pet has high needs and frequent potty breaks I would likely not be the best sitter for you. You and your pets comfort is my highest priority. I know how scary it is to leave your best friends with a new person and I want to make that as easy as possible. Tell me your dogs quirks, give me that multiple page document of hand written pet sitting notes. You know your pet best, if lots of treats is best or talking really softly or whatever helps your pet feel more comfortable. Generally animals feel comfortable around me, and skittish ones I have unlimited patience with. I have worked with lots of dogs and cats who hide or bark/hiss around new people. I know how to read body language and give them space when needed and try to get them to trust me being in their space.

About: Hello there! I took a little time off to start a family but I’m back and READY to host your furbabies! My son is 1 and LOVES animals as well. He would accompany me during visits to your home (always in his harness attached to me) or be present when your furbabies stay at my home. If this is your first time visiting my profile, thank you for stopping by. I am passionate about animals. I have had a pet since childhood to include dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and iguanas. Currently, I have 2 Australian Shepherds who love interacting and playing. If I sound like a great fit, please reach out so we can schedule a meet and greet.

I am at home most of the day (outside of errand running). I have a large fully fenced backyard. Playtime is a must so 15-30 minutes of playtime is my standard depending on the Texas heat. Water is provided directly after playtime. Feeding is isolated to one furbaby at a time and in different areas of the house. I provide supervision and also send you videos of your babies during their stay with me.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have a 14-year-old dog named Zoey and a 4-year-old cat named Mavis—they’re both very spoiled and definitely enjoy their treats! I love connecting with other pet parents and getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I’m currently between jobs, which gives me plenty of availability during typical business hours while most people are at work. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on your needs and schedule. I have a spacious, open backyard and a friendly dog who enjoys keeping other pets company. My cat is still a bit wary around other animals, but she keeps her distance and doesn’t cause any issues—she’s mostly an outdoor cat who loves exploring the neighborhood. I also live in a great area for dog walking, with a nearby open field where I like to take dogs to play and get some extra exercise. Your pet will have plenty of space, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while they’re with me. I can also crate if needed. My dog is crate trained as well.

While I was away, she sent tons of adorable pictures and updates of my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind and showed how much she genuinely cares. It was clear my dog was happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Joyce again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter!

Heather was reliable and caring with Stanley. We had never left him for so long and when we had left him it was with people he knew. It took a couple of days for him to settle into the routine and get comfortable with trusting a new person, but she was consistent and kind and followed all the "Stanley's notes" I had left for her and he adjusted and was happy in her care. I would highly recommend Heather to care for your beloved pets.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Friendswood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Friendswood is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 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.

As of November 2026, there are 4,221 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Friendswood. 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 Friendswood. 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 Friendswood 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 Friendswood. 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.
