I booked Holly for a 30 min dog walking session for my highly energetic 6 year old Dalmatian. I asked her to do a meet & greet with my dog first so she could do a trial walk with him and listen to my explanations for his care. She arrived on time for the meet and greet and did a great job with the trial walk. She arrived on time on the day of the scheduled walk, followed all my instructions, sent me pictures of my dog and gave him a post walk treat while luring him back to his pen. Holly is a natural with handling dogs and has a great personality as well. I will definitely book her again when a need arises. Highly Highly recommend Holly for your pet sitting needs.

Wilson was wonderful. We are a big order given we have one anxious dog AND my 80yr old FIL likes to walk with his dogs. Wilson was gentle, kind, and patient with both the pups and Dad.

I've been using Yana for the past few weeks because I had to pull my dog out of daycare due to her needing surgery and I can honestly tell you between her flexibility and transparency, Yana has been a great addition to my dogs' life. Her responsive nature and amazing ability to connect with my dogs has been a godsend for me. She is so responsive and I appreciate her report cards so much. My one dog is very reactive and doesn't trust people easily to the fact that she took to Yana so well is amazing. Highly recommend her.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know that dogs aren't "just pets"; they're family. I also know that trusting someone else to care for them can be one of the hardest parts of being away. That's why my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pup. I've been around dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I've been caring for friends' and family's dogs since I was in middle school (which feels like forever ago!). I also trained my own dog to earn his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title, giving me experience with positive reinforcement, patience, and safe handling. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like one of my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and spending time with their new best friend. As an elementary school teacher, I have a very flexible schedule during the summer, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I do have a young child, so I ask for at least a day's notice whenever possible to arrange childcare. With that notice, I'm able to be flexible and reliable for your pet's needs. I believe in being punctual, providing the care you request, and sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I provide care in your pet's home where they're most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I'll carefully follow your instructions, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship and plenty of love and attention. During walks, your dog's safety is always my top priority. I'll keep them securely leashed, pay close attention to our surroundings, and make sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. After each visit, I'll send you updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision because they're family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while making the entire experience as stress-free as possible for you.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and former fur mom to my beloved Morkie, who was part of my family for 14.5 wonderful years until she passed away in 2023. I currently work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also an experienced dog aunt and have been puppy-sitting my Golden Retriever “fur niece” for the past year, giving me recent experience with larger, energetic dogs as well. I’m a mom of two boys, ages 3 and 7, who are in school and daycare during the day. They have grown up around dogs and are gentle, loving, and respectful of animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet because I’ve been in your shoes. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your furry family member feels at home while you’re away. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own—with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs! What you can expect from me: 🐾 Plenty of supervision due to my work-from-home schedule 🐾 Regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles 🐾 Experience caring for both small and large dogs 🐾 Updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 🐾 A calm, loving, family-oriented environment I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the care and affection they deserve! ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to provide attentive care, frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of companionship. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I enjoy having furry company while I work. Your pet will receive lots of supervision, love, and attention rather than being left alone for long periods. Safety is my top priority. My home was always dog-proofed when I had my Morkie, and I continue to puppy-proof it whenever my Golden Retriever fur niece stays with us. I make sure there isn’t anything pets can get into that could be unsafe, and I have a dog gate available to create secure spaces when needed. I provide a clean, supervised, and loving environment where pets are treated like family and can feel safe and comfortable while in my care. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve cared for pups of all ages — from playful little ones to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident giving medications and even administering injections, always with patience, love, and care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or extra patience and love, I tailor my care to meet every dog’s unique needs. Morning • 7:00 AM – Potty break & 20–30 min walk • 7:45 AM – Breakfast & fresh water • 8:15 AM – Short playtime or cuddles Midday • 12:00 PM – Potty break & play • 12:30 PM – Mental stimulation (training, puzzle toy) Afternoon • 3:30 PM – Potty break • 4:00 PM – Light play or nap time Evening • 6:00 PM – Dinner & fresh water • 6:30 PM – Walk • 8:00 PM – Relaxation, cuddles, or quiet play Night • 10:00 PM – Final potty break • Bedtime – Cozy sleep routine Creating a safe, loving environment is always my top priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and stretch their legs without worry. Supervision is constant, and I make sure gates are latched and the yard is hazard-free. Inside, pets enjoy a calm, comfortable space where they’re treated like family. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior dog who needs extra care, I provide a trusted environment where every tail can wag with confidence.

About: With years of experience caring for multiple cats and dogs at home, I truly understand their needs and quirks. I also watch dogs of all sizes and ages, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their own environment. I am dedicated to providing the best care for your pets and believe having them stay in a location they are familiar with is the ideal stay. I work from home when booked, allowing me to adjust my schedule to be fully available on booked days. I bring my laptop setup with me and I'm all set. Have an extremely flexible schedule. I take great joy in walking dogs and giving them the attention they deserve, ensuring they feel loved and cared for during their time with me. I watch dogs in your own home to ensure they feel comfortable with an environment they are used to and to avoid any additional stress.

About: Hi! I’m Alexa, a recent University of Miami graduate and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and birds and have spent the last 10+ years caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my family has also been involved with supporting a no-kill animal shelter, which has only strengthened my love for helping animals. I currently have two dogs with completely different personalities, which has taught me how important it is to understand every pet’s individual needs. My 11-year-old dog is calmer, loves relaxing, sunbathing, and getting attention, while my younger rescue dog is energetic, playful, and always ready to run around. Having both has given me experience with senior dogs, rescues, high-energy dogs, and different temperaments. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and giving medications. My dog Bentley has diabetes, so I also have personal experience caring for pets with medical needs and understand how important it is to be attentive, responsible, and follow instructions carefully. I would describe myself as patient, gentle, active, and extremely attentive. I always pay attention to little details, whether that means making sure a dog isn’t overheating outside, keeping fresh water available, noticing changes in behavior, or simply making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I truly see pets as members of the family and will always treat your dog with the same care, kindness, and love that I give my own. Im currently home for the summer and I high flexibility for dog walking, house sitting, and potty breaks. I love to get to know all sorts of pups and appreciate each of their individual likes and personalities. If overnight boarding is foreseeable for the future after initial services with your dog, I would be happy discuss and go over details in a deeper extent.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hillsborough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hillsborough on Rover is $10.7 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,329 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hillsborough. 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 Hillsborough. 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 Hillsborough.

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 Hillsborough. 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 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.
