Susan was GREAT! She was kind and patient with my pup. My doggo can be a bit skittish, but Susan and my pup became instant besties. Susan sent a great update on their walk and shared pictures from their adventures.

Mary was great. Super communicative the whole time. Even when her schedule shifted, she let me know right away and was able to come a little earlier, which I really appreciated. This was my first time using Rover, and she definitely set a great first impression. Will absolutely book again.

I’ve experienced caring for small and big dogs, as well as caring for dogs of all ages. As a passionate animal lover, your pets will be in good hands with me. I currently work part-time as a server.

I will take care of your pets with TLC in your home environment and during our walks together. Their safety and care is of utmost importance to me.

About: Hi everyone! 🐾 My name is Kelsey, and I’m a fun-loving, caring person with a lifelong passion for animals! I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals of all shapes and sizes. 🐶🐱 I had a wonderful 11-year-old Lab/Golden Retriever mix who sadly passed away in May 2022. 🐾 Today, I’m lucky to have Ash, my sweet cat who is a mix of Scottish Fold and Persian. 🐈‍⬛ I truly enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry friend is big or small, energetic or laid-back, I’m happy to give them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. I have a spacious home with plenty of yard space for pets to safely enjoy some outdoor time, play, and get plenty of exercise. I’m also happy to keep them entertained with their favorite toys and activities! My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and spoil them with lots of love and attention! ❤️🐾 Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I truly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to making this a wonderful experience for both you and your pets! 🐾 I work full time Monday through Friday. I work about 7 mins from home. So I still have plenty amount of time to care for your pets. I live in an apartment in a big house the yard is not fenced but there’s a big opening for them to roam or play in the grass with toys.

About: I have been watching our neighbors and family friend’s dogs and doing drop-ins since I was little. My family has also had a dog since I was in highschool. I take him on walks every evening and am responsible for feeding and letting him out when my family is out of town. As well as my sisters dog when she stays with us. I am available throughout the day to do drop-in’s, go on walks or spend time with them at home throughout the day. Aside from a random day I have plans, my schedule is very flexible. I have a dog I take on walks at home and enjoy being outside with. As well as playing/throwing their toys or sitting together at home.

About: I have a natural talent for taking care of dogs and walking them with patience and confidence. Whether it’s making sure they’re well-fed, groomed, or simply happy, I pay attention to their needs and treat them with genuine care. On walks, im calm but in control, keeping the dogs safe while letting them explore and enjoy their surroundings. Dogs respond well to your energy, and it’s clear that I build trust with them quickly. My love for animals make me someone dogs—and their owners—can rely on. I work part time and am available most days of the week to walk or house sit. I also am available on the weekends to take care of dogs. I stick closely to the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets thrive on routine. I make sure the home is pet-proofed. Remove harmful items, secure doors and gates, and ensure the pet has access to clean water, a cozy sleeping area, and toys.

Please provide as much info as possible about your pet so that I may customize the care I provide. Pet care IS my routine; I am available seven days a week to walk or sit your fuzzy friends. I have flexibility to accept same-day requests if necessary. Safety and exercise are a priority; I like to take multiple walks per day and will always keep dogs on leash and safe while having a fun time.

About: Hi! I’m Marisa 🐾 I’ve been professionally working with animals since 2017 and officially began building my own client base in 2024 after years of kennel management and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Animals have always been my passion, and I truly love what I do. Pet care is not just a side hobby for me...this is my full-time career and business. My clients never have to worry about pet care being pushed aside for another job, changing schedules, or limited availability. Before going fully independent, I spent years managing a busy dog kennel where I worked with everything from puppies to seniors, shy rescues, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, strong pullers, medical cases, and large playgroups. That experience taught me how important patience, structure, safety, and understanding body language truly are. One of the things I’m most proud of is my ability to build trust with dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding. Some pets warm up immediately, while others need calm energy, consistency, and time and I genuinely enjoy building those relationships. I provide: 🐾 Drop-in visits 🐾 Dog walks 🐾 Overnight care 🐾 Limited boarding 🐾 Medication administration 🐾 Lots of updates, photos & communication Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, triggers, comfort levels, and individual needs so they can feel as safe and relaxed as possible while you’re away. A little extra about me 😊 • Fully insured • LLC registered business • Available on holidays • Flexible schedule • Experienced with multi-pet households • Experienced with anxious/reactive dogs • Proudly serving Canonsburg & surrounding areas I genuinely believe animals can sense good people and calm energy and nothing makes me happier than seeing pets excited to see me walk through the door. I'm happy to say since becoming so busy caring for animals I was able to quit my other job and am now available every day of the week. However I do have regular dogs clients that I walk daily so if I am doing an overnight stay I will have other daily drop in visits through out the day/evening. If you need someone to stay with your dog 24/7 I am not the best match. I AM AVAILABLE ON HOLIDAYS! THIS IS MY FULLTIME JOB!! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before our visits begin. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk, I maintain a calm and controlled environment, always keeping their emotional and physical safety in mind. I closely monitor interactions, use secure leashes and harnesses, and follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medication, or preferred walking routes. I never leave pets unattended and always keep a close eye on their body language to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I also send frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll always feel confident and informed while you're away.

About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. I have owned and cared for animals for many years and understand that pets are family members who deserve love, attention, and reliable care. My dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals make me someone pet owners can trust. As a member of our local Humane Society, I have gained valuable insight into animal behavior, safety, and the importance of compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, feeding, playtime or a drop in visit, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. My goal is to give you a peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving care they deserve! I'm currently working full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I am extremely responsible, dependable and attentive to your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable care, affection, and attention while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I have one dog named Zeus who is like a child to me and one cat named Tito who I also adore!

Animals always love me and I always treat them like my own:)) I currently do not work so my schedule is always open no matter what time or day of the week! I’m free almost all the time:)) I have an open yard with a long chain I use for potty breaks or outdoor play time! We also have many neighbor dogs who love to make new friends!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats when younger and a bit recently. Friends and neighbors have used me to check in on their pets and taken care of them. I have had cats for 12 years and currently have two 3 year old cats! Currently open for any/all bookings and have plenty of time for caring and loving for your pets. I am not very busy so even if you need last minute bookings I will most likely be available to care for your pet. Will be very patient with your animal and make sure that they are as comfortable as they can be. Should not have issues with watching or walking your pet and am open to any lengths of walks. Will be willing to do long walks if that’s what your animal loves!

About: Hi, I'm Sadie! I am a graduate of Pennwest California's Vet Tech Program and have plans to attend graduate school to become a veterinarian. I have worked at several different jobs where I gained pet care experience, such as doggy daycare/boarding facilities and pet stores. I currently work as an emergency vet nurse as Veg ER for Pets. I hold a current veterinary technician license and am RECOVER CPR certified in cats & dogs. I have been petsitting for friends and family for years and have watched large breed dogs, such as Cane Corsos, Akitas, and Great Danes. I own 3 Pitties, 1 Boston Terrier, and 3 cats. I have raised bottle-fed kittens/puppies. I can administer oral, ophthalmic, aural, topical, & injectable medications to a variety of animals. I can care for farm animals as well! Whether your pet is young, old, or has special needs, they will be well cared for while you're away. Rest assured, I will treat your fur babies as if they are my own! P.S. my rates are higher than I normally charge to cover the 20% deduction Rover takes from each booking. Tips are appreciated but not required :) I am currently taking an in-person class 2 days a week on Monday and Wednesday. If care is needed while I attend class, my mom (also a Rover sitter, Danyel Marinski) can provide care for your babies as well! I care for client's pets exactly as their instructions tell me too. My own dogs love to cuddle with me and watch tv in between playing with all of their toys! They're super high energy so they're taken on multiple daily walks.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Houston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 2,378 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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Houston. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
