About: We have had pets since the day we were born, and have a sweet Samoyed of our own now! We have been doing dog sitting, boarding, and walking for the past 5 years professionally! We love every minute of teaching your dog new tricks, taking them places to explore, and taking the best pet photos to send to you! We are usually always home as our jobs can be remote. We like to take our dog and others with us on adventures, walks, and car rides! Our lives are flexible to fit a furry friend in! We use leashes outside for walks, keep gates in front of our doors, and spend majority of our time with your fur babies to make sure they are always safe, happy, and healthy!
“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!!”
“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.”
“Kelly has been walking our little terrier for 6 months and she’s been wonderful! Very consistent and positive. She’s always ready to come and responds quickly to any scheduling changes. We feel very lucky!”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful, I can’t recommend her enough! She is flexible, conscientious, kind, and really cared about my quirky dog. Her communication and updates are excellent. She is incredibly reliable and I never worried about Daisy for a second while Kim was taking care of her (and I worry about everything). I was always confident that Daisy would be safe and happy, because Kim goes above and beyond to ensure that. When my dog hurt her back a day before a housesitting visit and required meds, Kim was unfazed and helped Daisy make a full recovery. She also takes the best pictures, which were such a treat to get while I was out!”
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.
“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.”

I also loved getting updates and photos after every walk. It gave me such peace of mind while I was at work. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable walker!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Heathcote on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,017 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Heathcote. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
