I am not sure what else to tell about her, apart that she is great! =) Always with a great attitude, a smile on her face and also she loves my dog! =) So I appreciate a lot that. I totally recommend her.

Colin is great with my big dog Mason, and Mason absolutely loves him. Colin ensured that he was safe and comfortable on his walk, since Mason is mostly used to being walked only by me. They had a great walk, and Mason came home a tired and happy pup.

Emily J. filled in at the last minute for my weekly Saturday afternoon walk. She is very friendly, and my dog liked her instantly. She is on time and professional. I would definitely recommend her as a walker.

Dom has been nothing but an angel. Whether it’s long term vacations or emergency pop in visits, she’s always available and always great about sending pictures and letting me know how the walk goes! I’ve been requesting her services for a few months now and don’t plan to stop!

Jarrod rocks. He accepted a last min request over Christmas to watch my pup. She was stressed and sick, but Jarrod made sure she was comfortable and spent extra time with her. Excellent communication and care - definitely recommend booking him!

Allie is so great with my dog Sophie, who is a 13 year old lovable but leash aggressive dog. She handles her well and wasn’t hesitant to take us on as a client. She is also great about accommodating my unpredictable schedule, last minute requests and goes out of her way to be available for Sophie. Highly recommend!

So far, I’ve had Alyssa’s walking service for 3 times and I am happy to have found her. With my work schedule change, I am seeking a trusting sitter whom I can turn to to make sure not only my poppers bio needs but also mental needs are met(to know that their walker takes good care of them like I do). She has helped me with additional needs gladly and I am starting to build more confidence with her as we increase the request! Her warm presence was recognized by my poppers (critical!) and this give dog mom a peace of mind. We’ll continue to work together and as she get to know more about mines, we will endeavor to more services!

Every dog loves enthusiastic playmates. Phillip fits the description. He is consistently professional, friendly, helpful and always right on time. I need to feel that my older dog is safe when going out walking in our neighborhood, the city. Phillip "brings it", when he comes to see Colette...she feels at home with him and Phillip leaves the pictures to prove it. :-).

Karilou is probably the best dog walker Gus and I've had. He adores her. One day I stayed home from work and forgot to contact Karilou. Gus knew she was coming before I did. When she arrived a was so glad because I was too sick to walk Gus. I thought he was going to knock her over he was so happy to see her. Thanks Karilou! I know Gus is always happy to spend time with you!

Vanessa was FABULOUS!!! Hunnie loved her and she loved Hunnie! I was slammed with work and needed help with dog walking that day. Vanessa took Hunnie on TWO hour-long walks and even stoped but the store to grab food for my kitty because of my crazy schedule. If that isn't above and beyond, then what is!! I will definitely be asking Vanessa to help with my 4-leggeds in the future!

Very grateful for Monica, she took such amazing care of Violet and gave Gunther so much love and attention which I appreciate so much. Violet went on long walks and also started her heat cycle in the last few days of our trip, which Monica handled perfectly! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to care for your babies❤️❤️

Armando has gone above and beyond everything I hoped to find through Rover. He has taken Shelby out to socialize and has shown her so much kindness, patience, and genuine care. I feel completely comfortable knowing she is safe and in excellent hands with him. I’m truly grateful we found Armando and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their dog!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hillcrest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hillcrest on Rover is $21.4 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 9,876 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hillcrest. 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 Hillcrest. 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 Hillcrest.

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 Hillcrest. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.
