About: I am a Registered Nurse with a deep love for animals and extensive experience in specialized pet care. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I walk dogs, assist with basic training, and support rescue animals in need. Caring for these shelter animals, and working with pets on Rover, has become a meaningful way for me to channel my grief after my beloved 15-year-old rescue dog, Winnie, recently crossed the rainbow bridge. At home, I also share my life with a sweet, 4-year-old rescue cat named Chip. My background in nursing makes me highly comfortable administering medications and injections. Additionally, thanks to my many years of loving Winnie, I am no stranger to senior care, complex medical needs, or the gentle patience required for elderly pets. I have great flexibility throughout the week! I'm available most weekdays and weekends to help take your dog out or drop in to check on your kitty. Last-minute bookings are welcome, provided I have at least 24 hours' notice. While I don't offer boarding in my own home, I specialize in keeping your animals safe, happy, and comfortable in theirs. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight house sitting, my priority is maintaining your pet's familiar environment to keep stress low. I am committed to building trust through reliable care and clear communication. For your peace of mind, I am fully trained to administer specialized care, including CPR, standard medications, and medical injections, ensuring your furry family members are always in safe hands.

About: Between jobs. Looking for a productive/enjoyable way to fill my time. I’ve had small dogs, giant dogs and every size in between. I’ve successfully leash trained several dogs and am happy to impart my skills on them, if you’d like. I’m a single mom who typically travels for work. I am, however, currently between jobs, and looking for my next contract. Making me available 8am-4:30pm. All care would need to be in your home. If crated, I can clean/change crate bedding, clean water and feed if needed. I can exercise your pet through play or a 30 min walk. I’d be happy to work on basic obedient skills as well.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family has always been full of pet lovers and our home has always welcomed animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up,I learned how to care for pets kindly, patiently, and responsibly. I currently have a cat of my own, and she truly is my pride and joy. I also regularly care for the pets of friends, coworkers, and family members when they’re out of town or need extra help. I’m a huge animal lover and have a very soft spot for pets. I truly care deeply about their well-being. I’m especially attentive to making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would love to provide that same level of care and peace of mind for you and your pets! I work full-time, but have the option to work from home whenever needed, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m especially available after 4 PM, but I’m happy to make other times work as well. I can bring my work computer with me if needed and take breaks as I please, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any special needs they may have. My home is calm, clean, and pet friendly. I make sure doors and windows are secured, remove any potential hazards, and provide plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m very attentive during walks and outings and always use leashes, unless otherwise instructed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and worked hard to build trust so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I have over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, from raising puppies into adulthood to understanding how their needs change throughout different stages of life. I’ve learned how important it is for dogs to have healthy outlets for their energy, plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and a routine that helps them feel happy and cared for. I currently have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks and runs, as well as three cats with their own unique personalities. Having both dogs and cats has given me experience understanding the very different ways animals communicate, build trust, and show what they need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets who may still be learning their manners or training. I believe every animal deserves patience and the opportunity to feel safe, appreciated, and understood. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, playtime, companionship, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I want to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals. 🐾 With a flexible part-time schedule and a love for walking my own dog on the daily, I enjoy sharing fun, fulfilling walks with other dogs too. I’ve always been an animal lover and happiest when I’m spending time outside! I have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks, runs, and little adventures, along with three cats who each have completely different personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, affection, and plenty of time to just be themselves. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and finding what makes them happiest—whether that’s an energetic walk, some playtime, exploring outside, or simply having someone there to give them attention. I’m also completely comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may still be working on their training or manners. I believe they deserve just as much patience and care while they’re learning! My goal is to give your pet a fun, positive experience while making sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. 🐾

About: I have taken care of my two pit bulls since the start of high school. I love giving affection to them, including others I have met in person. I used to have a senior dog who had joint problems and needed help on the stairs, bed, and sofa. I also love meeting my friends’ pets and giving them the same affection as I do with my own pets. I do drop in visits, house sitting, and dog walking. I would love to give your fur babies a bunch of affection and care. I’ll make sure to update you regularly with pictures so you know that your pets are in safe hands. Your pets safety is my top priority. For dog walking, I’ll make sure they stay off the road when the pavement is too hot and/or a car is coming. I will also stay alert to my surroundings. I am unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and/or cats! I will be available Sunday through Thursday. I'll do my best in following your schedule so your pets won't get stressed by any sudden changes. I'll make sure to ask any questions on how to take care of your dogs and cats so I won't make any needless mistakes. I will also send you updates of your pets by sending you photos and texts.

About: Hi! I'm Jade, an experienced animal caregiver who believes every pet deserves individual attention, patience, and care. 🐾 I don't believe pet care should be one-size-fits-all. Every animal has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and a variety of small animals, including rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, fish, reptiles, and other companion animals. Please note: I do not offer in-home cat sitting in my own home. I do offer drop-in visits and house-sitting visits at your home, where I am happy to care for your cats and other pets while you're away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, companionship, or someone to stay with them while you're away, I'll treat them with the same patience and care I would want for my own animals. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to give you peace of mind by following your instructions carefully, maintaining your pets' normal routines as much as possible, and keeping you updated throughout their care. I'm dependable, patient, observant, and attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or routine. Your pets' safety and well-being come first. Have a pet that isn't a dog or cat? Ask me! I especially enjoy helping families who have animals that can be more difficult to find experienced care for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! 🐶🐱🐭🐰🐹🦎🐦🐠🐾 cpr and heimlich trained I'm happiest when I'm spending time with 6 dogs at a time lol it's so much fun! I don't have space to take more than one large dog or 2 small dogs at a time but someday I will! I am working on getting fencing for my yard! I only let 1 dog out at a time. I follow owners feeding schedule. I chart every feeding, drink of water that i see, and every potty break. I send updates daily and am well educated on how to calm an anxious dog!

Linsie is extremely professional and detail-oriented. Her text responses are also super quick and she was able to agree to walk my dog with short notice. I had no problem trusting her with my fur babes. Thank you! It was a wonderful experience.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Houston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Houston. 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 Houston. 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 Houston.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
