“I truly can't thank Brenda enough for the incredible care, attention, and love she gave to my two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the moment we left, she made us feel completely at ease, knowing our pups were in the best possible hands. Every single day, Brenda sent us a delightful stream of photos, capturing sweet moments from their walks, in the house, and quiet cuddles. Her pictures were not only beautiful but also full of personality, and they gave us such joy and reassurance while we were away. Alongside the photos, Brenda included detailed, thoughtful notes about how she spent her time with each dog. She described their moods, their favorite activities, and even the little quirks that make them unique. My family and I found ourselves eagerly awaiting her updates each day, excited to see what new adventures our dogs had been on and to read her creative, often humorous observations. It felt like she wasn’t just watching them, she was truly bonding with them, treating them as if they were her own. What impressed us most was how intuitively Brenda connected with both dogs, despite their very different temperaments. One is energetic and playful, the other more reserved and sensitive, and somehow Brenda managed to meet each of them exactly where they were. She tailored her approach with such care and understanding, and it was clear from the photos and notes that both dogs absolutely adored her. Brenda’s warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals made all the difference. I honestly can’t imagine leaving my beloved dogs with anyone else. She’s more than a pet sitter, she’s a trusted companion to our furry family members, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her!”
“Simba completed his first week of walking with Tim, and he is loving it! Tim is very friendly and always on time. He gives us regular and plenty of updates about the walk- the route, potty/pee-pee breaks, and of course many photos of our fuzzball on the walk <3 Simba is very comfortable walking with Tim, and I can tell that he looks forward to his walks with him already.”
“Brooke & Matt recently provided some dog walking services for our highly energetic dog Max. As a dog owner who has used Rover many times in the past, I know it's always a concern leaving your dog with someone new. It was obvious from our first meeting that Brooke & Matt are two very responsible animal lovers who provide excellent care for the animals they are looking after. They even took Max for a run to help him burn off some excess energy, which he loved!! Your pets will be in very good hands if you decide to use Brooke & Matt for your pet care needs.”

Last-minute bookings are welcome! At home, I create a cozy, safe environment for all pets. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is well-behaved and friendly, and he loves company! I ensure pets have plenty of playtime, relaxing moments, and space to feel comfortable. I’m very attentive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or giving extra love. Your dog will be treated like family, with all the attention and care they deserve.
“Alex is the best! I hurt my knee and needed someone to walk my large pittie last minute. Alex was nice enough to work him into his schedule even though we have not worked with him before. My dog Alfie tends to pull in a leash and while he loves people, he can sometimes be picky about who walks him. However, he LOVES Alex and Alex does a great job of controlling Alfie on a leash. Thank you so much for your help!”
“Rosemary went above and beyond to take care of our Ruby! She gave her lots of love and attention, and made sure that all parties felt comfortable. She took the extra step of sending us pictures and updates, and updated us on her water intake which meant so much to us! We can't thank her enough for giving our girl all the love while we weren't able to when away ❤️”
About: I have had pets my entire life - dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and parakeets. I am comfortable with pretty much any type of animal. I am currently home with my two children for the summer, so there is extra room in my schedule for animal care. 10 months out of the year, I am a special educator. I am very respectful of other people's homes. I will follow all explicit directions you leave for me. I am happy to take care of your animal in any way you need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from small to medium, from puppies to seniors! Along with that, I also have a senior dog myself, so I know best on how to handle them and care for them. I’ve interned at a doggy daycare, so I also have knowledge on taking care of multiple dogs at once and keeping their temper in check. I’m currently a college freshman working remotely!

“Katherine was so good with our dog Fergus! She gave such good details on his behavior and how he did on his walks. Being a puppy still in training, it was good for us to know how he did while we were away from him and had Katherine walk him for a few days. She really went above and beyond our expectations by cleaning up a mess that our dog caused after eating a couple books while we were away! Thanks Katherine!”
“Becky and Christian are awesome dog walkers!!! I have been having a lupus flare and couldn't walk my dog myself, so they took over for me! They are punctual, kind and my dog loves them! I will absolutely be using them in the future”
“We’re so happy we found Rachel. We just got a puppy and really needed help during the work week to let him and our other dog out. She was very professional, friendly and took to our dogs right away. She leaves prompt info on the walk and replies right away with any scheduling needs. Highy recommend her services!”

Brenda, was fantastic with Cooper. She stayed and played with him for about 30 minutes after he was walked. I highly recommend Brenda for anyone who wants that extra special care for their pet whenever they can’t be present. Thx Brenda! I’ll definitely ask you for help anytime I can’t be home for Cooper!😊

Emma is the sweetest!! Lua is very shy and timid, so Emma was so patient with her and made her feel safe and comfortable🥹. Shes very detailed oriented and made me feel like lua was in very good hands. She met all my accommodations with no issue and made sure to send lots of pictures! :)
Rebecca was super responsive and accommodating to my weird booking (walk dog during the day while at a hotel) but she had no problem getting her key from the front desk. Also my dog was sooooo happy ever day - it was obvious he was taken such good care of while I was away. Thank you Rebecca!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Heaton on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of June 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 .

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 Heaton. 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 Heaton.

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 Heaton. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
