About: (Please no dogs bigger than 60 lbs.) I am a retired teacher who loves dogs! Your dog will become part of our family during their stay with access to a fenced yard, a neighborhood park, plenty of walks and lots of snuggles. We have a backyard deck and front porches perfect for lounging and watching the world go by. I would be happy to help take care of any dog that gets along well with other dogs. I have experience with many dog personalities and temperaments from volunteering at Austin Pets Alive and Hood River Adopt-A-Dog. My availability is flexible and I am typically home the majority of the day. I will send frequent pictures and updates while you are away. We are able to watch 2 dogs from the same family, but we do tend to only have pets from one family at a time. We will send a link for a brief survey when we receive your boarding request in order to help us get to know your pup better. We take walks in wooded areas, so we ask that visiting dogs be on a flea/tick preventative. Also, we ask that visiting pups be comfortable negotiating laminate stairs since we live in a 3 story house. Thanks! We are retired and so are available to care for your pup. We will take your dog for a daily walk at one of the many outdoor natural spaces that the area has to offer. We have a fenced back yard which is accessed from the 2nd floor. If your dog prefers to cuddle in a crate, we have a crate.
“Libby helped me out while I was traveling to hood river for work. She was reliable, flexible, and took my dog on some great walks. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I've had have two dogs in my life: Daphne (an labradoodle) and Solo (a Scottie). I love them so much and because of that, I love dogs as a whole. I was a volunteer at the Odell Dog shelter as a Dog walker. There, I met amazing dogs like Roxy (a husky). As a whole, I love dogs and I am good at walking them! I hope to start working on June 16th. From there, I am available from Tuesday to Saturday in the afternoon. This is a part time for me so I am working for only a few hours. However, for those few hours, I trust your dog is going to have a fun walk! I am going to be a dog walker so I am not going to be at your a home a lot. However, I am great with dogs at home. I have taken care of my two dogs at home for years!
About: I'm an experienced dog sitter and former dog mom just returning to Rover and accepting new and returning clients! I have decades of experience taking care of dogs, including my own, friends', and dogs in rescues and shelters. I was the dog-walking coordinator for a dog rescue and a dog-walking volunteer for a public shelter for years. I actually grew up afraid of dogs and it was a big deal for me to start volunteering to walk strange dogs; it helped build my confidence, and I was -- and still am -- very attuned to what's going on with the creature at the other end of the leash. I believe every dog has unique needs and temperament and honor these while they're in my care to ensure they feel as secure and safe as possible. DOG SITTING AND BOARDING: I work from home as an editor, so your dog will get lots of attention and potty breaks. Your dog is welcome to join me on the couch or lie at my feet for regular pets, or chill in another room in or out of a crate. Whatever will make your dog feel most at ease while you're away. I recently lost my own 15-year-old dog, so your pup will be my sole focus (and will get lots of love and care). I have a fully fenced yard at my home for potty breaks (separate from walks/hikes). If you don't have a fully fenced yard at your home, it's no problem to take your dog for leashed potty walks as frequently as necessary.
“Rebecca went over and above coming a few days early to meet Kona and ask some questions about walking in our area. She was a solid communicator on game day and even sent a pic of the walk.”
“Clare was available to walk my dog on short notice while I was in town for a family wedding. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable and was able to relax and enjoy the event knowing my dog was in good hands.”
About: I have owned and enjoyed taking care of our family pets as long as I can remember. I will provide your pets with loving care and give them the attention they deserve. I can walk them in your neighborhood or even watch them overnight if needed. We have always had pets in our house and love the protection, love and companionship they provide. I look forward to walking and caring for your pet. I am patient with animals and always drawn towards making dogs and cats feel comfortable and happy. We have had dogs of many breeds, sizes and temperaments and comfortable meeting your pets. My dog; Buddy, lives with me full time with his big brother, Rocco visiting part time. They are both friendly and love to play! I work full time during the week; but could be able to stop in on my lunch, or provide a quick lunchtime walk around my neighborhood. I am also available after 4pm and during weekends. I am open to walking per your requests or instructions. It’s important you feel comfortable with your pets care. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you. Im currently working remotely full time. I can do drop ins and walks during mid- day and on weekends. Please let me know if you have questions. I have a fully fenced backyard where your pup can pmay with mine. Your pet would be leashed anytime we are out of fenced areas.
About: I’ve gotten to grow up around animals all my life, and have exposure with caring for a wide variety of different types. I have experience in training young dogs, and also experience in giving medical attention, like caring for wounds, dressing them and administering medications. I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like my own by always providing gentle care, attention, and a safe, loving environment while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to come and care for your pets! I work for about 5 hours on Saturdays and Sundays, which still leave me with lots of time to spend with your fur babies! I provide loving, reliable care by maintaining pets normal routines, including feeding times, fresh water, playtime, exercise, and cleaning up after them, while giving them plenty of attention and affection! I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life. I’m well seasoned with dogs and cats of all ages, as well as temperaments. I have experience in training pups, taking extra special care of older dogs and cats, and I’m also comfortable giving medical attention and have experience with it. Currently I’m working part time; 5 hours on Saturday and on Sunday. I also attend school online leaving me with lots of free time to hangout with your pup or cat! I give your pet lots of care and attention while keeping your home tidy; making sure to stick to their routines so that your pet is able to stay comfortable when you’re away. I make sure they are fed accordingly, have fresh water, and get all the exercise and play time they need! I also handle basic care like cleaning litter boxes, picking up after dogs, and giving medications if required.
“Malia has been a lifesaver! She has been taking our young crazy pup for walks when we're too busy working. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that he's being cared for and is in good hands!”

My schedule is very open right now and flexible for whatever you may need! Also flexible for overnight stays and housesitting. I love to hike and walk the nearby trails, I would love for your pet to join me! I unfortunately cannot have pets at my rental, but I would love to come to you for any pet care needs.

About: I live in The Dalles and work in Hood River, im happy to travel for your pet, just ask! As a pawrent to 4 yr old husky I have a lot of mileage with high energy, smart, and stubborn breeds. I also know we can all use a hand sometimes with our furry companions and I’m here to help lighten the load when life picks up. I am available for walks during the week days at lunch hour, after 5:30 pm, and weekends. If you have a request outside of this description please ask 😊 At this time I will not be caring for other pets in my home, and my dog will not be accompanying the walks either unless it’s preferred.
About: Hi my name is Aya I live in downtown Hood River in my own home with a fenced back yard. My boyfriend of 3 years and friend for over a decade lives with me but is often gone for work. Looking to help others while enjoying having a furry friend to keep me company. My little old man dog Vader passed away few years ago, he was almost 15. Had him since he was a pup and fostered many dogs at the local dog shelter in the past. My boyfriend and I are both helicopter pilots, fire fight in the summers and have most of the winters off. Majority of my time is spent at home, out in the garden or walking around the neighborhood. Come spring work starts to get busy. Rest assure if I’m watching your furry family member I will be home majority of every day working on the house being craft or out in the garden. Dog walks in my neighborhood are very safe and there’s a trail close to my house we can walk to. I am “on call” for 2 weeks every two weeks until fire season starts AND I will have annual training at some point in Feb. which is why I only have openings for one week or so at a time. I have a fenced yard with a dog door that can be closed if I leave but I usually keep it closed when I watch new dogs and definitely ones that can jump fences. My neighboorhood is very safe and I have security cameras around the perimeter and well as an alarm system.
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I now have a dog and cat of my own which are living with me. I am working full time so can tend to your pets usually after 4 PM but sometimes earlier. I will usually not be available for weekends. I take my dog for long walks down the trail every day and make sure he gets plenty of play time while at home. I always have water available and live in a low trafficked wildlife area.
About: I love with a golden retriever but still love to take care of others to get my dog fix in. Dogs are my favorite animal and I would love to spend some time with yours while you’re away. I can run, walk, feed, throw balls or frisbees and give them lots of belly rubs. I am not a certified trainer but have experience training my old two labs and know how to train them. I will walk rain or shine and we will have so much fun. I’m excited to meet your puppies soon!!! I work full time but the fall and winter are pretty quiet for me. I am able to let dogs out during lunch, etc. I'm always happy to make some extra time to get outside with dogs too! Dogs will be kept in the house or on a leash unless we are in a fenced in area. The house is clean so there's nothing not too much trouble to get into!
About: I’ve had my Border Collie mixed breed since she was 8 weeks old; she’s going on 6 years and is my favorite creature in the whole world. I treat animals just like their family with love, respect, care, and safety. In addition to raising my own pup, I have lived in many households with several cats and other dogs that I assisted in the caretaking of. During high school and college in Colorado, I assisted in dog walking services and house sitting (pre-Rover times). I’m responsible, honest, and a total animal-lover. I’m a server who works part-time and mostly nights. My days are very free for playing with and walking pets! I’m your go-to gal. 💜 I will get your dog at the arranged time to provide the discussed service. Whether that is letting your dog outside to potty in their own yard and playing fetch, or going on a nice long walk, that’s up to you and our arrangement! I’m very flexible and will do what is needed for the dog and owner to both be comfortable and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hood River on Rover is $27.75 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 107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hood River. 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 Hood River. 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 Hood River.
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 Hood River. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
