About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for

About: I have over 8 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I provide dependable dog walking services focused on safety, exercise, and fun. I’m comfortable with puppies who are still learning leash manners as well as senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, basic reinforcement of commands, or extra patience and care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own every time we head out for a walk. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I’m also available most weekends. Whether your dog needs a consistent daily walk or occasional drop ins, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, on time care you can count on. Your dog’s safety is always my number one priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and any special needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level, age, and personality, whether that means a brisk, active walk or a slow, relaxed stroll. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Madison has been a life saver! Due to some recent life changes, I was worried that I might have to surrender my dog Tripp because of my long work shifts. Madison is making it possible for me to keep Tripp by walking him and giving him a potty break while I'm at work. Madison has shown great communication and has been extremely reliable. I would highly recommend!

About: I have always had cats and dogs in my own home. Life long animal lover. I will treat your pet like my own while you trust them in my care. I am a social worker (not a 9-5 job) so I have the flexibility to check on your pet at various times throughout the day. I have a fenced in back yard. I am also strong enough to walk your larger dogs. I can also just sit down and give them all the love and pets they need.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and haven't lived a single day without one! I’m equally experienced with both cats and dogs, ranging from energetic puppies and kittens to gentle seniors. I treat every pet in my care like part of my own family, so you can count on them being thoroughly spoiled and loved the entire time! My schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to easily drop in, walk, and spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I care for regular weekly pet clients Monday through Friday while keeping my weekends open, which gives me plenty of freedom to seamlessly weave your pet’s specific routine right into my day. I’m more than happy to offer constant care if your pet needs 24/7 supervision! Because this requires dedicated round-the-clock attention, higher rates do apply. Whether your pets prefer staying in their own comfortable environment or joining me at my house—where we have a great unfenced yard for leashed exploration—they’ll be in wonderful hands! I handle every part of their daily routine—including feeding, exercise, medication, and lots of individual affection. As a responsible pet owner, all of my own pets are fully up to date on vaccinations, wellness visits, and monthly preventatives. I always respect your home, follow your specific care instructions, and ensure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away.

About: I have had pets my whole life, I had two childhood dogs, one of which had some medical issues I had to tend to in her senior years. I’ve also had cats for a number of years and i’ve kept reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish. I love them all. I also volunteer at a cat rescue in my free time. I work part time as a life guard so I have plenty of time to house sit, other than shifts every once in a while i’m usually free! I am always willing to give an animal some affection if it wants, or go for a walk! I love the outdoors so it’s my happy place to be with a pet too!

About: I love walking dogs and playing with them. Dogs really are a human’s best friend. As a dog owner, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to try to find care when you are working long hours or have a trip out of town that isn’t dog friendly. I have relied on pet sitting and am so thankful to be able to do the same for others! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home in Rowlett with a fenced backyard. The streets are wide and great for long walks, the neighborhood is safe, and there are plenty of sites and smells for a dog to enjoy! For cozier times, I have a den in my house that is perfect for dogs to play in! It’s a dog paradise here. When I’m not snuggling and walking dogs, I love to cook, dance, read and listen to music. I’m the happiest when I’m surrounded by family — including my fur babies! I live with my 2 children who are 12 and 15. I grew up with dogs and everyone in the house loves dogs, so your dog will get lots of love! I work from home, so I have lots of opportunity to spend time with your very special dog and keep them safe and loved while you’re away!

About: I know what it takes to care for your pets so they won’t even miss you while you’re gone! I am skilled at brisk or slow “sniff,” walks depending on the needs of your pet. I’m comfortable brushing, cuddling, playing fetch, and feeding/watering your pet. Just let me know of any special requests and I can accommodate your pets needs! I’m looking forward to spending time with your animal. I love to be outside, provide snuggles, work on commands, and give treats. Your pet will have a great time in your absence and feel loved and appreciated. I don’t mind picking up dog poop as my biggest dog is 55 lbs and comes with a lot of up keep :) I have two cats as well and am comfortable with all felines! I am willing to accommodate needs beyond the 15 mile range for an additional fee of 58 cents per mile! Please contact me if you have questions about services, booking, or pricing! I am home most weekends as well as holidays. I want to be flexible so you are stress free! I make my own work schedule and will try to accommodate your needs. I have fur babies to keep your pet comfortable and entertained. I have a fenced in yard for exercise and love to go for walks. I have a variety of toys and treats to meet your pet’s needs!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hiawatha

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hiawatha on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 559 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hiawatha. 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 Hiawatha. 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 Hiawatha.

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 Hiawatha. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
