About: My name is Melody and I have always loved caring for pets and helping out in the community. I have a small background in pet sitting, totaling about 2 years now. I am not a Baytown native, but I have lived in the area for about 3 years and am getting to know the area more and more each day. I am bilingual, consider myself to be very friendly and love it if I can bring a smile to someone’s day. I look forward to meeting new people and being able to lend a hand by taking good care of your furry friends, big or small. I also work from home M-F so your fur babies will always have someone with them. My boyfriend Moses often helps out with pet care as well and he is wonderful with animals. If you should have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to provide some answers. I work from home and as a result am able to care for your fur babies constantly. I love relaxing when I’m not working and I’d love to have your fur babies around for company 🙂. I have a fenced yard and can provide your pets some exercise time outside. I also have 2 golden retrievers who are very friendly with other dogs and would love to make some new friends.

On the weekends I typically stay home and will give your dog my full attention and love. I often take my dog to the farmers market, etc on the weekends so if your dog is socialized I am more than happy to bring them along ! I have a house with a big backyard your dog will love enjoying!

About: A little about me…I absolutely love animals! I would be the person who will feed a stray and make sure it’s taken care of or potentially finds a home. I provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create a fun, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I am available whenever needed. My teenage kids also love to help me with the fur babies I care for. We are all animal lovers. ❤️ I have a fenced yard so your pet will always be safe with me. I will make sure to always protect your pet while with me.

About: Hi! My name is Deyanira, and I am a full-time online student who works from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to the pets in my care. Before becoming a full-time student, I worked in Special Education for 10 years. Through my experience as a Special Education teacher, I developed a strong sense of patience, responsibility, compassion, and understanding. Working with students who had different needs taught me the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and caring environment. These are the same qualities I bring to caring for animals. I have been surrounded by dogs amd cats my entire life, and I truly believe that pets are more than just animals, they are family. Over the years, I have also cared for pets belonging to family members, friends, and neighbors. These experiences have helped me understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I understand how important it is to maintain their daily routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and giving them the attention they deserve. Since I attend school online and work from home, I have the flexibility to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I understand that being away from your furry family member can be stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I am also happy to provide regular updates and pictures so you can feel connected to your pet while you're away. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, respect, and care that I would want someone to give my own. Their happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my priorities. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved, protected, and right at home, even when you're away. 🐾❤️ Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. I look forward to providing a loving, safe, and positive experience for your pet! I am currently a full-time online student and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide your furry babies with plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️😺🐶 My parents are also home, providing an extra loving presence. I live in a home with a fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy outdoor activities under my supervision. There is also a dog park just 10 minutes away where we can enjoy walks, exercise, and playtime with your permission. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I will always respect your rules, follow their daily routines, and accommodate any special needs or preferences. I treat every pet like family and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am also happy to provide pictures and updates for your peace of mind. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! 🐾❤️ 😺🐶

About: We are a new family of three and are preparing to add a wired hair fox terrier in the near future. We had a family dog when I was young but he sadly passed away due to old age. My husband and son love dogs and all animals. His previous pair of dogs was sadly stolen from him and he hasn’t been ready to get another pet. That recently changed when our son started showing extreme interest in dogs and other animals. We want to test the waters with dog boarding and walking to see before committing. For us, a pet is forever. I work from home and my work is flexible. I can accommodate changes in schedule. My office is in the galleria area and my house is in humble. I can do dog walks in the galleria area as well. I have a fenced backyard and empty rooms to house the dogs if they need to have their own space. We live in a very friendly neighborhood and parks nearby.

About: 30+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes—from Chihuahuas to Malamutes. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and seniors needing extra patience and care. I’ve volunteered at veterinary offices and trained under a professional dog trainer, so I understand dog behavior, basic health needs, and safe handling. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and on their routine. Reliable, attentive, and experienced—you can trust your dog is in good hands. Currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for care. I’m available for daily walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout the week after 4pm, with open availability for boarding, extended stays, and weekend care. I’m happy to accommodate both regular weekly schedules and last-minute needs whenever possible—your dog’s routine and happiness come first. Safe, two-story home with a fully fenced yard in a quiet, low-traffic Lake Houston community. Nearby trails and dog parks for plenty of exercise. I prioritize supervision, secure spaces, and a calm environment so your pup feels safe and at home.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old and they have always been my best friend and a big part of my life. I also have a 6 year old Goldendoodle who is a huge part of our family. I love dogs of all sizes and ages and really enjoy spending time with them. I’ve also taken care of a lot of my friends’ dogs while they’ve been out of town, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime and giving them plenty of attention. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while they’re with me. My work schedule is flexible. I start my days early and am usually available after 2 PM, giving me plenty of time for pet care. I treat every pet like my own. I follow their normal routine and provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also ensure walks and a safe, comfortable, stress-free environment where they feel happy and cared for.

About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life. I grew up with pets of all sizes and species: cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, etc. -- each with their own personalities. I have experience as a professional dog walker during my 8 years in Washington, DC. Friends, family, coworkers, and strangers alike have all relied on me to walk, feed, and sit their pets and their homes. I also have a green thumb and am diligent about taking care of the plant babies as well. I enjoy walking, playing, and snuggling with the pets. I also have a way of communicating with and soothing animals, so they'll definitely be in good hands. I will treat them like my own and be super attentive to their needs and yours as well. I'm also in school to be a holistic medicine doctor. I work from home. Flexible schedule I work for myself full-time and have a very flexible schedule, available all day, and usually anytime during the week. Right now, I am studying Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (which is excellent for your pets by the way) but everything is remote and after-hours. Let's discuss more details! I'm single with no kids or pets of my own -- plenty of plants. A former project manager turned entrepreneur and TCM med student who just moved to Houston for graduate school. Great attention to detail. A strategic planner. A great listener and savvy speaker who gets along with everyone and pays great attention to detail. I absolutely love animals of all kinds, and I love spending quality time with them as a pet sitter, dog walker, and home sitter. I pride myself on empathy, cleanliness, and attention to detail so your pets will always be in good hands. I love to build bonds and trust with animals through respect, trust, affection, and play/stimulation -- unless that's not their jam and they'd rather be left alone -- no pressure, every pet is different. As a med student with goals I'm set on accomplishing, you can trust me to be low maintenance, quiet, and low-key with no drama or excuses. You can rest assured your pet and/or home is in great, responsible, mature hands.

About: Hello everyone a little about me. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was relatively 8 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me with the care of their pets because I create a bond with them and their fur-babies. When taking care of them or even walking creates positive stimulation which is key. Having the pet in the best mental state regulates good health and a happy pup. Things like playing with them and simple enrichments are always our goals to get those gears spinning! A key reminder for me is that your pups will be welcomed under my wing the saftey and happiness of your pup is just as important to you as my dogs are to me! I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule! I take into precautions of our surroundings, I specifically look out for triggering situations according to your dog or others. I take the extra precautions such as double checking where your pet is going and more than likely watching them every moment I can ! The safety of your pet is my priority I am dog CPR certified and understand the extra measures to attending to elderly or even puppies! I have worked in a dog facility where I inherited specific precautions according to breed!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Highlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,422 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Highlands. 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 Highlands. 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 Highlands 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 Highlands. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
