About: I have years of experience with in-home as well as drop-in pet sitting. I am reliable and dependable so you can be worry free when leaving for furry friends. I am a college student with a lot of down time to care for your furry friends. Pet sitting will fit perfectly into my weekly schedule since I only have short classes in the mornings. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of, including walking, bathing, and much more. Anything you need for your pet I am more than happy to accommodate.

About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.

About: I have a dog of my own and my sister has a cat. I've taken care of pets for family and friends. Both staying in house and dropping in for feeding and potty breaks. I firmly believe pets are members of the family, a friend and a companion not just an animal. I have very flexible hours. I will be returning to college in the fall but i will continue accepting bookings. Im typically available morning to late at night. For Drop-in visits or house sitting that require early morning care I am able to work it with my schedule with no issue. For drop-in visits I'll check in minimum 3 times daily for feeding, potty breaks, and short playtimes. For house sitting i am happy to stay overnight. In the event I need to leave for any reason, I'm happy to take your fluffy loved one on a car ride with me if acceptable and only if i am not getting out of the car.

About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many pet dogs in my life. One whom was born sick; she had a sever type of mange and i had to give medication daily and bathe frequently. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with his hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! Need someone to have a companion the whole time you’re gone ? I got it, i’m always home! I am a full time momma trying to make a little extra cash to help my husband. Before staying home, I was in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist but left that behind to stay home with my newborn baby! My husband is off (Fri. - Sun.) so he helps me on weekends which are my busiest. We’re a team! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.

About: I have absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was young. I strive for pet sitting and care to be more than a passion but a career path. I’m more than willing to dedicate my time into making what can be a stressful time for both owners and pets alike enjoyable and rewarding! I have experience with furry friends who take time with new people, and with our over joyful and excited friends! Having the patience, time, energy and dedication needed for building a relationship with your pet thats lasting! I have cared for all sizes and personalities of furry pets for the past 15 years for many neighbors, family members, and friends growing up! It has remained my favorite job and past time for as long as I can remember, as it allows for me to be surrounded by a community of wonderful people and loving animals. Being a stay at home mom has allowed me to work with a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide last minute scheduling and holiday scheduling for pet owners! With minimal adjustments to hours and available days! I have a large fenced in yard for my two dogs, and have spent years learning how to play and interact with them in our space together! Even providing them with a separate space to cool off and relax away from the chaos of children, making sure they’re never to overwhelmed! Having pets has taught me some wonderful games such as tug of war, fetch, and keep away (a house favorite). I’ve learned with time that “animal lead play” is a wonderful way to get any fur baby to interact on a level they’re comfortable with. Offering opportunities for bonds and trust to form between us!

About: I’m an experienced and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all personalities and sizes. I’ve had dogs throughout my life and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping up with their routine, or simply providing some company. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines. I miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to make new memories with your pup! My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am a current Master's student at Texas Tech studying Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy. I have classes Monday-Wednesday, so after class I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am mostly available weekdays and available all day on weekends! I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs! My apartment has a dog park with tons of toys and room to play! It's also a nice area to take them for walks around the block.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all personalities and needs. In addition to household pets, I’ve also raised cattle and goats through FFA, which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with animals that require daily care and attention. This experience has taught me how to stay consistent, follow instructions closely, and notice small changes in animal behavior or health. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” animals, I genuinely care for them and understand how to handle both calm and more challenging situations. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, or just spending time with them, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’m used to helping with feeding, cleaning, and general care for pets at home, and I also make time for walking, playing, and checking in on their needs regularly. I attend school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and I sometimes have a few responsibilities after school, but I’m pretty flexible and good at managing my time. Through FFA, I previously raised cattle and goats, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to stick to a care routine and pay attention to animals’ needs. School will be ending soon, so I will be even more available and flexible during the summer, which will allow me to take on more pet sitting opportunities and give pets more consistent care and attention. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, and any medications if needed. I also spend time with the pets to give them attention, playtime, and companionship based on their personality and comfort level. I always make sure to keep their space clean, safe, and respected, and I check in on them consistently so they feel cared for and not alone. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: Available for initial meet up - to ensure a good match. I've had many pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, frogs, rabbits, an injured horned owl, raccoons, and fish! I currently share my apartment with one special cat - a rescue cat named Mogwai. I've had both inside and outside dogs. I have trained several of my dogs (small breeds) so I have a fair amount of knowledge. I'm a 36 year old working from home as a retirement financial investment manager during the day. I have a lot of flexibility to be able to also take care of your pet! I think Rover is a great way to meet some cool pups and cats and help people with the many responsibilities of pet ownership. I look forward to meeting you and your pet/pets! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. I have ample flexibility to care for your fur baby. I’m an active person who like to talk walks and be outside while also loving a good pet cuddle. I ensure it is a good match between me and the animal. Generally speaking, let’s usually like me. I’d give them plenty of attention and love while also ensuring their basic needs like food, water, relief and exercise are met.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for many years. I have helped watch dogs for my friends’ business around the holidays and busy seasons, as well. I have a large dog and a cat of my own, and I have had pets since I was a kid. I love dogs and cats, and I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to check in whenever needed. I am currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to check on your pets whenever needed. My weekends are typically free, as well, which could allow for an occasional overnight visit. I can drop in to feed your pets, let them out, give them love, and walk them if needed. Occasionally, I may be available for overnight visits for older or more anxious pets.

About: I've owned many different pets including dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, and ferrets over the past 14 years - young and older pets alike! I am a licensed veterinary technician here in Texas (I was previously licensed in Nevada before moving to the Lubbock area) and as such, I am able to provide services such as medicating furbabies that need medications and providing transport to the veterinarian if necessary (either my place of employment or your own preferred clinic). Some of my own pets are on medication, so making sure your furbaby gets any medication they need will be no problem at all! Some of my pets also have special dietary needs, so you can have complete confidence that if your pet needs the same, all needs will be met. I work full-time during the week at a fairly busy veterinary hospital. As far as drop-in visits go, I am able to make morning and evening visits any day, and midday visits on a case-by-case basis. Drop-ins will be performed at the time requested UNLESS they fall in a time range where I will be working. In those cases, visits will be either early in the morning and/or in the evening after work. Daily pet care is a staple in my household since I have my own pets, many of which require medical care including special diets and medications. Any care requested by clients will be performed to the best of my ability. Whether it be simple feeding instructions or something more in-depth, rest assured that your pet's care is in very capable hands.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own at home. My grandma breeds dogs, so I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also pet sat for many families throughout high school and cared for different breeds and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own. As a college student, I’m looking for a fun and reliable way to spend time with dogs while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I am currently just a full time college student so I have plenty of time to care and spend time with pets. I often only have classes 2 times a week so my other days are perfect for spending time caring for your pets needs! I have 3 pets at home that I feed, walk, and play with, so I am very used to spending lots of times with dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs throughout my life. When family friends have gone out of town I have watched their dog or their cat along with taking care of my dogs and cat. Pet care fits into my week well as I have the time to stop by during lunch and the late afternoon to walk, feed, or take care of a pet especially on weekends. I feed my pets, walk them, play and spend time with them, and I protect them at all costs no matter what. I make sure to spend time with them daily as they are a part of the family.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Idalou

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 383 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Idalou. 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 Idalou. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Idalou after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Idalou. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
