About: I’ve been around many types of animals all my life including exotic, farm animals, and house pets like cats and dogs. I love them all equally and would be happy to care for any pet! I currently work full time but typically have 3 days off a week. I will be going back to school in the fall but will still have availability. While I cannot currently look after pets in my own home, I am happy to accommodate most needs for any animal in their own home.
“We had a great experience with Linda! She is reliable and her communication was excellent throughout. It’s such peace of mind knowing your dogs are with someone you can count on. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!!”
About: I have returned to school to earn my PhD as an adult in my 30s, which means I have both many years of experience with animals and significant flexibility to help out as your schedule requires. I have spent my whole life around animals - I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog (chow chow), and a multitude of fish; I worked for a stint on a farm as a teenager; and as an adult I have two sweet cats! I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, most recently caring for a variety of cats and dogs for friends during work travel, vacations, and weddings. As a PhD student, my schedule is very flexible, and I always welcome study breaks to hang out with your furry friends! I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including during weekdays and normal business hours. I have experience giving medications, navigating allergies, and working with pets of all life stages. I also have a knack for befriending shy pets, especially nervous cats!
“Kim is extremely reliable, and always a bright spot in Freddie’s day! She accommodated him when he wanted to walk farther, shortened up the distance when he wasn’t so eager to walk, and even would carry him around, knowing that was what he wanted. I highly recommend Kim!”
About: I have had many years of experience with taking care of cats and dogs in my family and friends. I also have a cat of my own.

“Megan was great. Punctual, gave me continuous updates and never hesitated to ask me any questions to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely reach out again for more services and recommend her.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have a 14-year-old Golden Retriever which giving me firsthand experience with senior pet care, administering medications, monitoring health changes, and providing the extra patience and attention that older dog need. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always adapt my care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I currently have flexible schedule and there is usually someone home 24/7. And mostly weekend after 1pm. Please book in advance for the weekends and holidays . SFH with yard, work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods of time. No smoking house. No kid. One resident cat & one resident dog. Guest cats can be provided with a separate room.
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog that needs extra patience and care, I am attentive to each dog’s individual needs and know how to read their behavior to make them feel comfortable and safe. I helped train my dog, Moose, and have also cared for my family’s dogs through dog sitting and walking. What sets me apart is the genuine joy I get from bonding with animals. I truly love spending time with dogs and creating a positive, caring environment where they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I am currently home for a few months before moving to start my full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with a bit of notice and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, or late nights depending on what works best for you and your pet! I provide attentive and safe care for pets both at home and in clients homes. At home, my dog has a fenced in backyard for exercise and play, and I always supervise him while he is outside. On walks, I use a harness because it is safest and most comfortable option for his walking style. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior, comfort, and safety during walks and visits.
“Tbh I was hesitant to allow a man into my house, but I’m really glad I took a chance on Hon. Truly a Godsend. Detailed daily reports that reflect a genuine caring for my doggy, and wonderful photos that helped my family to remain connected with our good boy while we were away for nearly two weeks. Hon’s help allowed me to actually relax on my vacation because I knew Woody was in good hands. Thanks, Hon!! Hope to see you again.”
“Holli has been walking Talley daily for me. Talley immediately took to her, and made me feel much more at ease having a go to person in the neighborhood for daily walks and last minute needs. She’s extremely flexible and communicative. I would highly recommend using Holli.”
“Boryana was wonderful with my dog! She came for a meet & greet to go over everything. During the visit she took such great care of him & sent me photos and updates. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, especially dogs. My family has always loved and cared for them deeply, and being around dogs has always felt natural to me. I carry that same love in my heart, every dog deserves kindness, respect, and a life full of love. They give nothing but adoration, and I want to reflect that back to them. What I enjoy most is seeing each dog’s unique personality and getting to connect with them in their own special way. Spending time with dogs is always exciting, comforting, and genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I have online classes from 6–9 p.m., so I have plenty of time during the day and on weekends to care for your pets!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Heathcote
Linda has been walking my Golden Retriever puppy, Finn, all this week. Linda’s calm, capable & caring energy instantly put me at ease. Finn warmed up to her right away, and now he’s very excited to see her every time she arrives! Linda is reliable, trustworthy, and she prioritizes communication, which is invaluable. I’m happy to have found her, and I highly recommend Linda for all your dog walking needs!
I Highly Recommend Holly! She is very caring and responsible as well as attentive to the pet’s needs. And ours as pet owners! She took great care of our Frenchie, lots of photos, reports from the time Holly was visiting. I could see that our pup was happy and safe. Looking forward to working with her again in the very near future.
Avi has been an amazing dog walker for Astro. From the very start, Astro absolutely loved him and was always so excited and happy to go on walks with him. Avi is reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. We always felt comfortable knowing Astro was in great hands. Highly recommend Avi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker.
I am so grateful to have found Jessica as a dog walker for my pit mix (Maple) and my chihuahua mix (Chia). You can tell that she really cares and is a true animal lover. Anything that I have told her about them (their training, what is best for them, and what they prefer, etc) has been taken into consideration and applied. Thank you Jessica for being so thoughtful and caring. They are so happy when I come home from work!
Amy is very thoughtful, attentive, and caring towards our dogs! We have two pitties who are active and playful. One of our pups required a slow introduction and Amy was so great with it and after a giving her some space initially, our pup warmed right up to her. Amy was communicative and let us know how the dogs were on the visit and throughout the walk. We will definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Heathcote on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,089 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Heathcote. 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 Heathcote. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Heathcote.

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 Heathcote. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
