“The most dependable, even on short notice. I cannot say enough good things! I know my girl is well-loved, taken care of, and ultra comfortable any time I'm away. The peace of mind that comes with booking with Darius is invaluable.”
“Ynes did a wonderful job with Winnie! She is reliable, flexible, and communicates promptly and clearly. Winnie is a shy girl and Ynes was patient and consistent in winning her trust. I would highly recommend Ynes for your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs as far back as I can remember because I’ve always had a dog. Not only that, but other family and friends have relied on me to care of their pets when out of town or when needed. I have experience with small dogs as well as taking care of my best friends 90 lb german shepherd- so big dogs don’t intimidate me. When I moved to texas, I had to leave my family dog back home, so I can’t wait to come take care of and play with your furry child!! I work remote and it’s very flexible, so I have a lot of moments in the day where I’m able to take breaks and come walk/take care of your dog! I have a dog park at my apartment complex as well as a brand new dog park that just opened up a block from me. I also don’t mind walking them or taking them to the nearest park to where you live.
“Maia was great! Communication is top-notch. She’s very responsive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the visits. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Jacquelyn is wonderful with George! He ran to her immediately when we did a meet and greet, and I appreciate the pictures and report card she sends with every walk! Her services have been super helpful while we have an irregular work/office schedule, and I know our pup is in great hands!”
“Ariana did an amazing job. She succeeded expectations while tasked with watching two dogs that didn't know her for over a week. She was very timely with responses and all reporting. She also adapted well and got the dogs to warm up to her very quickly.”
About: I have cared for and built connections with a variety of dogs throughout my life, whether through the dogs I grew up with or while volunteering at animal shelters. I was also involved with Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I assisted in training and caring for dogs that would support individuals who are blind or disabled. As an active individual, I enjoy going on walks or runs with furry friends while ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and hydrated along the way. ••• I am also comfortable administering medications and providing attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. ••• Above all, creating meaningful pawships and providing a loving, dependable environment for your furry friend would truly bring me joy. I do work in medicine (Certified Pharmacy Technician) while being an engineering student full-time. However, I can always accommodate by communicating a schedule that is beneficial for you & your furry friend! I will gladly send you updates with pictures and or videos regarding your furry friend. Being communicative is significant to ensure the safety, trust & surrounding environment for your pet!
“Sama is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and communicates regularly with updates, which gives me great peace of mind. My dog adores her, and it’s clear she has a natural way with animals. She also handles all pets with care and professionalism. I highly recommend Sama to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets!”

Dogs get plenty of walks and play time currently. Enrichment and training are also important for my puppy. I am adaptable to your pets specific needs.
“Mandilyn stepped up for me last minute when I needed someone to walk my dog with less than a day’s notice. She gave Saff lots of attention and each walk ended with some play and treats! Saff was very happy after her walks and Mandilyn sent lots of pictures!”
About: I have had either a dog or a cat for the past 30+ years. I absolutely adore them and love to take care of them; especially if I can take them outside to play or walk. I have some experience with basic obedience and basic agility training for dogs. I probably can even teach your cat to sit! Please note this important information about booking with me for the first time: I am available to do meet and greets before the booking is confirmed and are happy to answer questions about my services before we set it. -I typically schedule meet and greets within one week in advance of the service. -I do charge for each animal in our care. Check out the Services tab for pricing info! -Rover does not share your address with me before the service is booked and payment confirmation is received. However, you may choose to share your address with me via the chat in the Rover app. I am a retired corporate gal and a certified animal lover! I am currently working part time (mostly evenings) and only during baseball season and have spare time on my hands. I am skilled with all types of dogs and cats. For dogs I had a reactive sweet girl so managing their insecurities is paramount to me. I can pretty much handle any situation if given details about your pet ahead of time!
“I contacted so many sitters and Lee was the only one able to make time and be available last minute. Took my 2 doggies for a walk and they loved it! Easy communication and quick to respond. Thanks Lee!!”
About: I bring nearly 2 years of hands-on experience from two professional dog daycares, where I cared for dogs of every breed and size. Feeding schedules, special diets and medications. Your pup gets exceptional care, every time. I structure my day around the pets in my care. Morning walks, regular feeding times, midday check-ins, and evening wind-downs, every dog gets consistent, attentive care from sunrise to sunset. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own. I keep a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment at all times, no hazards, no unsupervised access to dangerous areas, and constant monitoring. I follow every owner’s instructions to the letter, from feeding routines to restricted spaces.
About: I have had pets my whole life and currently have one cat, Momo. I am a huge animal lover in every capacity! I am currently a weekly volunteer at BARC animal shelter, where I walk dogs, socialize scared cats, clean pet areas, and more. I am very comfortable with any type of special care your pet needs. I walk my own cat in a stroller - so nothing is too much for me! Haha. I currently work a 9-5 hybrid job during the week. I work from home on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. I am available to take care of your pets in any capacity (walking, feeding, administering medicine, or just keeping company) during the day on my work from home days, evenings after 5pm, and weekends. I currently live in East Downtown, Houston. Because I have a cat and a husband with certain allergies, I would prefer traveling to take care of your pets in your home! I currently live in East Downtown, Houston.
About: I have lived with pets all of my life. I have really enjoyed interacting with pets, specially dogs as I consider them family and I hope you do too! I have experience with smaller tasks like bottle feeding, potty breaks and walks, going to the dog park or hikes, even supporting with medical needs or overnight stays. Anything your fur friend needs! Currently working from home offering lots of flexibility. Availability ranges from short check-ins or walks as well as overnight or longer stays on weekdays or weekends. Flexible to whatever that individual pet and pet owner needs and requests, from playful puppies or kitties to independent, nap-loving seniors. Communication and upfront expectations are very important so everyone can feel comfortable, safe and happy.
About: Pets and owners love my free loving and exceptional care I provide to every animal that I care for, whether it's a drop in, walk, or boarding, I'm dedicated to your pet's welfare and happiness. I reside in a beautiful apartment, but am able to host small to large dogs, take them on walks, and take them on adventures to the play area across the street, I’m also conveniently located near the Buffalo bayou dog park! I have more than 30 years of experience caring for dog, cats, and exotic animals. I also have experience in providing care for senior and special needs pets. My availability is flexible and I can usually work around times that are best to accommodate your busy life schedule, if something is to come up and plans change; I am more than happy to work with you on a refund or extended stays. Being a pet parent myself, taking care of pets naturally fit into my schedule especially since I work from home. Unless your pet requires their food at specific times, they will follow the same schedule feeding and care (which is always in plenty) with my own pet. I have no problem crating your animal if there are used to having their own safe space. I also have a wonderfully sunny balcony that they are welcomed to hang out on under supervision. If spending the night, they are welcome to sleep in the room so they aren’t lonely!
About: I have had dogs since I was a child! I get so much joy from taking care of pups, as it adds a dose of energy and spontaneity into my days of working from home. My dog Taz has just crossed the rainbow bridge so I have an empty home, with a ton of attention and love to give your pup! I am not particular about crate training, dogs on furniture or beds, etc. Mi casa es su casa. I currently work from home, remotely! I have flexible availability, so your pup will have all of the attention they need. We can do everything from walks in the park to being couch potatoes. I have a high maintenance dog (who likes paw holding and puppy ice cream), so I am used to caring for dogs with a variety of needs! I can administer medications / vitamins as needed. I typically let pups roam free in my apartment as I'm always home, but can crate your pup as needed if it makes you feel more comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
My pup has been through a lot of issues over the past year. Having Kalina be able to help me out when I’m busy with work has been fantastic. She treats Zoey like her own. She’s patient, careful, and keeps me informed. I enthusiastically recommend her services if you live nearby. Five stars.
Liz was wonderful! She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely great to work with. Her communication is excellent! She’s responsive, thoughtful, and proactive, which makes everything feel easy and stress-free. I always felt like the girls were in good hands with her. Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gari was truly the most phenomenal dog walker I could have ever asked for! From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every possible way. They were always timely, reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Gari left detailed notes and updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear just how much care and attention they gave to my dog. You can genuinely tell that Gari loves what they do and truly cares about the animals in their care. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were unmatched. I honestly cannot say enough great things about my experience — Gari is hands down one of the best dog walkers I have ever had! If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, caring, and willing to go the extra mile, I cannot recommend Gari enough. My experience was absolutely amazing, and I would trust them with my dog again without hesitation. Thank you, Gari, for being so incredible!
Jazlyne is a go-to when she's available! She is wonderful with our puppy Phoebe! She is not only fun, she helps with training. Phoebe has been better on walks since we have been working with Jazlyne. She has been fantastic using with a variety of walking routes and she is very communicative. I highly recommend!
Ana did AMAZING with my 10 year old lab. He’s reactive and can be overwhelming when you first meet him, but she took her time to allow him to feel her out and the rest of his walks went smoothly. She walked him 3x a day while I was out of town and was always prompt and on time every walk. Ana went above and beyond making sure he was set once she brought him back and she was very quick responsive when reaching out. I will be using her again & you should too! 10/10 service for sure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Houston on Rover is $22.2 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 6,279 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.

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:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
