About: I'll be honest with you: I don't have reviews yet. What I do have is a genuine love for dogs, a body that's built for keeping up with them, and a schedule that's actually free when most dogs need their walk. I grew up with a family dog from the time I was 8 until I was 14, and that dog taught me most of what I know about patience, routine, and reading a dog's mood before they even bark. Since then I've spent time with my own dog and my cousin's dog, so I've had hands-on time with a few different personalities. I'm comfortable with big dogs and small dogs alike, and I'm not the type to get nervous around a large, excitable pup pulling on the leash. I've been pulled, I've been leaned on, and I've been slobbered on. I know what to expect. Here's what makes me different from a lot of the sitters you'll see on here: I run regularly, and I go to the gym almost every day. That's not just a personal habit I'm mentioning to fill space; it means your dog gets a walker who wants to move, who isn't checking the clock, and who will happily go the extra block if your dog still has zip left in the tank. A tired dog is a happy dog, and I take that seriously. What happens when I'm with your dog: I show up on time, I read their energy before we start (some dogs want to bolt out the door, some need a minute to sniff the porch first), and I match the walk to what they need that day, a brisk energy burner or a slower sniff-heavy stroll. I send photo updates during the walk, so you're not left wondering what's going on. You'll get a picture of your dog looking happy, tired, or mid-adventure, plus a quick note on how it went; bathroom breaks, any dogs or people we passed, anything you should know. I also speak Spanish, if that's helpful for your household or for any instructions you'd rather explain in Spanish. I know hiring someone new, with no reviews, feels like a risk. I'd feel the same way in your position. What I can offer instead of reviews is this: I will be completely upfront with you before, during, and after every walk. If you've got a dog with extra energy, an active breed, or just a pup who needs more than a lazy lap around the block, I think we'd be a great match. I'm not doing this halfway, I actually want to be out there walking, rain or shine, and I want your dog to end the walk happier and more worn out than when we started. Message me if you're interested. I'd love to meet your dog! My schedule: I am currently a full-time university student, so I'm consistently free after 4pm on weekdays, and open pretty much all day on weekends. This means you get someone who's available right when you're getting home from a long day and your dog has been waiting all day for a walk. I live in an apartment with a dog park in front of it, which means if you ever need a walk that turns into a little yard time, or a quick water break mid-route, I've got the space for it. I have a car, but honestly, I'd rather work with dogs nearby; less time driving means more time actually walking, and it means I can be flexible if you need me on short notice.

About: I’m 49 years old and have had the joy of caring for dogs throughout my life. I regularly babysit my neighbors’ dogs and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Because I work from home, I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog attention, companionship, and care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Their day will include plenty of playtime, activity, outdoor time, and lots of love, with a comfortable balance of fun and relaxation. When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, secure, comfortable, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. I have a small terrier of my own who loves having a friend to play with, so your pup can have a built-in companion if they enjoy socializing with other dogs. I also have a spacious backyard where dogs can safely play and relax, plus a dog park nearby for pups who enjoy getting out and exploring. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll take the time to learn what makes your dog feel at home—from their feeding schedule and favorite activities to their sleeping habits and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine. You’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and make sure we’re a great fit!

“There are people who simply provide a service, and then there are people who become an indispensable part of your life. Ariel is firmly in the latter category. She became a trusted partner during a particularly difficult chapter while I was recovering from major surgery. Knowing that Milo was in her care brought a level of reassurance that is hard to overstate. Aerial is dependability personified, always on time, often to the minute, with clear, prompt communication and remarkable flexibility whenever last-minute changes arose. Not once did those adjustments come with the slightest hint of frustration or attitude. She simply found a way to make things work. What truly sets her apart, however, is her relationship with dogs. She genuinely loves Milo, and it’s obvious he feels the same. She has the rare combination of warmth, confidence, and deep experience that allows her to take charge naturally. Her calm, capable presence inspires trust, and you immediately know your dog is in exceptionally good hands. My gratitude for Ariel goes far beyond dog walking. She provided peace of mind when I needed it most, and for that I will always be thankful. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection. Absolute Gem!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover walker! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was well cared for and happy. We truly appreciate the professionalism and kindness, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth came in to our life recently when our ailing dog was diagnosed with what became a terminal illness. Due to his condition and some limitations my elderly mother was facing we needed some extra help to ensure Maxwell could live his best life. Elizabeth was the answer that we needed. She was reliable and ended up being available almost every other day for the last couple of months to help. She was attentive to detail/ Max’s needs and daily condition and was able to easily communicate with us. She was flexible with unpredictable last minute scheduling changes due to medical issues. Most importantly she was kind and compassionate and brought some joy to Maxwell with her visits the last few months. We are eternally grateful. While this review is not the ending that our family had hoped for, I can say without a doubt that I would trust Elizabeth with any needs of a beloved pet family member.”

About: Dog owners will love how passionate I am about animals and they will feel super comfortable leaving their furry friends in my hands! I have been involved in a charity called National Charity League and have volunteered at numerous places but my favorite place has been Special Pals and CAPS animal shelter! I love helping out with the dogs there and just going in to walk the dogs makes my day and theirs. I am pretty flexible and available. I will take your dog on plenty of walks and I love to teach dogs tricks as well! And I will give your dog full attention. I will keep the owners updated with wonderful pictures and they will know they left their dog with the right person! They will love their time with me! :) I am working part time but I am pretty flexible with my schedule! I am home a lot and would love to watch your pets any day and any time you need. I will always make sure your dog is 100 percent safe and will provide walks and any playtime to ensure your pet is happy and healthy!

About: Animals seem to gravitate to me, I have never had an issue befriending a stray dog, cat, or even llama. I’m always that one guy in the room petting the dog. I have a natural knack for animal care as well and spend a lot of time just being friends with my pets. I am currently looking for a part time, flexible job that allows me to be with my family more. Therefore I am currently not working as I look and I am fully available. I have a couple of schedule items that I work around but overall I have a very open schedule that pet care will work wonderfully with. In my home we have more of a relaxed environment. Dogs are allowed to run around the home freely for most hours of the day. Cats are allowed to roam the catio outside freely. No cats are indoors and dogs are let outside twice daily to run and play and a third time just to use the restroom. Dogs and cats are fed twice daily and water is freely available. In a clients home I follow any guidelines they have.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Since I was a little, I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets — from silly cocker spaniels and lazy basset hounds, to big berneses and slobbery blood hounds — and I’ve always loved getting to know each pet’s unique personality. So much so, that seven years ago (in my senior year of college), I brought home my own boxer/pittie mix, Lucy. She’s been my best friend and constant companion, and I’m so blessed to have her. Pets become part of our families, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them! Because I work remotely, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I am a big believer in being patient, attentive, and communicative. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos! I work a fully remote job! My main tasks consist of random phone calls and emails (so wifi is definitely needed), but isn't consuming, so I have tons of down time, which means tons of one on one attention with your pup! In regard to housesitting, my goal is to be around most of the time, however I do have to step out from time to time for the occasional work meeting or errands. Since my job is so flexible, it allows me to maximize time spent with your dog, which means more playtime, more pets, and more attention! Given the nature of my full time remote work, I’m very detail-oriented, quick to communicate, and resourceful. I have my own back up leashes, back up poop bags, and respect house rules. I’m very adaptable, and dedicated to making sure to serve you and your fur baby in the best ways possible! I really aim to adapt and mirror your pet’s daily routine and what they are used to, so that it’s almost like you are still there with them.

About: Hi, I’m Kailey! I am an elementary school teacher here in town. I graduated in 2018 from Stephen F Austin in Nacogdoches. To get myself through school, I always found myself pet sitting for various animals. It become somewhat of a hobby of mine! I teach children, and animals are easier than that! I have ALWAYS had an animal in my life, so you can say that they are my passion! On most summers, am off from teaching, so I decided to work full time at animal boarding facilities. I also spend a lot of time at animal shelters, which started my journey with my very own puppy months ago! I have worked with ALL types of animals; dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, horses, etc! I believe every pet should be properly taken care of, just as if they were people’s children!

About: I absolutely love caring for dogs and have experience looking after them with lots of love, patience, and attention. Dogs truly are (wo)man’s best friend, and I’d be happy to give your furry family member the care, cuddles, playtime, and companionship they deserve! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine because I live with dogs and care for them every day. I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced-in area where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air. I also have calm, friendly dogs who are comfortable around other pets. If you prefer your dog to stay in their own home, I’m also happy to provide care at your house so they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, and I’ve had two to four dogs in my home at a time since I was about five years old. Labs have always had a special place in my heart, and I’ve had my Lab/Pit Bull mix since 2017. I currently share my home with a Goldendoodle as well! Along with a lifetime of caring for my own animals, I now have experience caring for other families’ pets in their homes. I understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust—not only with your pets, but with your home and their normal routine while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies and multi-pet households. I’m happy to follow your pet’s established feeding, walking, potty, crate, medication, and bedtime routines so their days feel as normal as possible while you’re gone. I genuinely love walking and being active, so dogs who enjoy getting their steps in will have a willing walking buddy! I’m equally happy spending time with the senior dog who prefers a slower pace or the pet who just wants some extra companionship and snuggles. After a lifetime around animals, I know there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. My goal is to get to know your pet, follow the routine that works for them, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and well loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a natural part of my day. I’m already accustomed to planning my days around animals, from feeding and caring for dogs to spending time at the barn with horses. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and extra one-on-one attention fit easily into my routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, personality, body language, feeding schedule, medications or special instructions, and any boundaries you have in place. I believe consistency helps animals feel safe, so I’ll follow your normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to animals who need a little more patience and time to warm up. My goal is for you to feel confident while you’re away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, cared for, and getting plenty of attention.

About: I’ve taken care of my family members pets (including cats and dogs) and they had all said that they will repeat the experience of leaving dithering dogs at someone else’s home since they loved the way we treated the dog, the way he was able to adapt into a new home as well as the love we gave them. It perfectly fits due to the fact that I live with two dogs at home ( a golden retriever and a chihuahua) and they are used to go into a park and play with the ball, play with some other dogs and sometimes just chill around. I’m a dog lover in every sense, specially in the aspect of security since I have an eye on them at all time, I’m pending if they have water or food. In case the dog requires medication, I’ll have the different alarms he requires in order to take their medication

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including my own. I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets through feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight dog sitting. Since my own dogs are older, I’m especially patient and attentive with senior dogs, but I also enjoy the energy and care that puppies need. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available Sunday through Friday during daytime hours, with Friday availability until around 3 PM. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and daytime pet care in clients’ homes. I currently provide pet care services in clients’ homes only so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I always try to create a calm, safe, and caring atmosphere while following each pet’s specific needs and instructions carefully. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs that may need extra gentle care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fulshear on Rover is $15 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per walk. 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 of October 2026, there are 4,159 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fulshear. 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 Fulshear. 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 Fulshear 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 Fulshear. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
