About: First 10 clients get free pet portraits! I have experience with breeds of all kinds, both big and small. I’m pet sitting to help make ends meet while I’m in school for dental hygiene. I have no issue with high-energy dogs! Our Belgian Malinois keeps us busy most days, although she’s a bit more relaxed now that she’s eight (not by much, though). I can administer meds, and have no issue walking dogs that pull (so long as they have a harness that doesn’t agitate their breathing when they pull). Starting rates are lower for first time clients. I work 3 days a week in my Barista role, and I would love to help pet parents care for their little guys at least 2 days a week. I do school mostly online when I am not working. I have no hesitation separating pets from anxious situations (I.e. other pets making them nervous, keeping them company during storms/bouts of separation anxiety). I have no issues with regular walks, or watching pets over night. I have clinical experience with dental assisting, and have no issues following medications or treatment schedules.

“Nicole is absolutely AMAZING! She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy, gets a much-needed midday break, and has fun at the park. She’s so caring and reliable, and I always have peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. She even helped clean up his diarrhea when he had an accident in my home—talk about going the extra mile! 😂🐾 I couldn’t recommend Nicole enough!”

About: Huge fenced in acre yard. High energy, loving, and intuitive pet sitter and dog walker. Hoping to provide a positvite and a stress free interaction for you and your best furry friends. Will open up my home to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I love walking, running, and playing fetch. I also live near shaded walking trails if your pet gets particularly hot during the summer hours. I would be thrilled and honored to watch your animal. I have a passion and love for all animals. I have been caring for animals since I was young and I truly feel the most comfortable when helping others and their pets. I will treat your furbabies as if they are my own. My kids have been around animals forever as well and always love participating in the care, play, and cuddles. I’m currently only working from home, so have lots of time for love and attention. I have cared for over 100 dogs on rover and love it! I’m looking forward to loving on all the pets! I have a fenced yard and a bunny that I keep in a separate part of the house. I’m big on security and animal safety! I love keeping these little guys safe. I always feed separately if I have more than one dog.

About: *AM NEW TO ROVER, SO CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES & PHOTOS (apologies for so few reviews).* I have had the privilege of caring for small animal's from a very young age, as had working dogs on 15 acres of land. Have had experience with American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Mastiffs and multiple other breeds. Currently only have one canine, George whom is two. It is a family tradition to care for canines especially as my great-grandmother raised catahoula hounds and I am honored to keep that legecy alive. Hope to add some walks and cuddles to your four-legged/ fur-babies life, thank you for reading! I have dedicated my life to caring for all creatures that I come into contact with, along with caring for the nutritional and environmental health just as much as you would a human child. As my career in the military was cut short due to an injury,I have shifted gears to working for self via animal care and house sitting and taking care of my father. Have training in small animal nutrition and basic animal psychology from two years spent as the manager of Natural Paws (a luxury pet grocer) before they sold to a larger corporation. Have a background in insurance also so understand how absolutely important safety is during all times, as well as situational awareness. This is my primary career. Hope to be in contact soon and thank you for reading! I do not allow walking any distance outside of the home off leash and only allow off leash in the safety of the client's yard if properly fenced in.

About: New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)

About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.

About: I have such a deep love for all animals and enjoy being in their company. I have worked at an animal hospital for two years. Interacted with pets of all shapes and sizes! I grew up with dogs and started pet sitting as a preteen-friends, family, neighbors. So about 18 years now! I’ve fostered and babysat cats and dogs for long and short stays, including puppies and older cats. I can administer medication as well. I rescued my dog as a puppy and I have a big interest in dog psychology. I continue to train and work with my dog everyday, as it brings me a lot of joy. I even started a dog training business with my sister and our own podcast (we’re in the early stages!), as we share a love for our four-legged companions! We help coach other owners and touch on topics like dog behavior, holistic health, diet, the vet, dog myths, different training styles, and everything in between! Being around animals makes me so happy! I cherish the time I spend with my dog as he is my favorite companion and I would love the opportunity to get to spend time with your beloved companion(s). :) I work part time in the evening, so I have time to care for your pet during the day and the few days I work I’m not gone for too long! I have a fenced yard and one dog to keep your pet company, if desired. He his crate trained and I can crate your pet if needed as well! I give my dog lots of potty breaks and exercise and play time as well as nap time and training time-keep his mind and body fulfilled and meet his needs:) I plan to do the same with your pet whether it be in my home or yours! Obviously with their specific needs in mind!

About: My entire life I've had an extreme passion for animals, dogs in particular. I was raised out in the outskirts of Leander with everything from dogs, cats, fish and chickens as well as the occasional wild animal rescue including squirrels, raccoons, stray dogs and cats, and even hatched 4 baby birds once! I have worked in a wide variety of jobs involving animals and even have some hands on experience as a vet tech as well as a dog training internship and have professional dog walking and training experience as well. I am very comfortable administering medications, including injections and can even water your plants and take care of you exotic animals or aquarium upkeep as well! Please message me with any questions, looking forward to taking care of your pets soon!

About: I have experience with fostering dogs rescued from difficult situations. I am very patient and can handle a lot of energy. I love animals of all sorts, and I can work with each pet with consideration of their specific needs. I work remotely, so I'm able to really attend to any pets in the home and to integrate them into my day. My apartment has a great dog park and my neighborhood is great for walks as well. My schedule during the day allows for me to go for short walks in addition to 1-2 longer ones. I would treat any pet as my own. I feel lucky to get to spend time with them and I know being entrusted with someone's pet is a big deal.

About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

About: Hi, I’m Britt! Caring for animals has always been a source of peace and joy for me. I’ve been fortunate to care for both people and pets ranging from infants to furry companionship,but there’s something special about the unconditional love and trust that animals offer. Over the years, I’ve gained experience through hands on pet care and volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I supported the well being of dogs, cats, and other rescues. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them the attention they crave, I treat every animal as if they were my own. For me, it’s a passion that brings balance and happiness to my life. I’m excited to provide attentive, thoughtful care to your beloved pets!🐾✨ My daily and weekly schedule revolves around ensuring pets get the love and attention they need while balancing their routines with my own. Each day starts with feeding and hydration, followed by engaging activities like walks in the morning or exploring nearby parks. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to interactive games and mental stimulation, such as puzzles or sniffing activities for dogs, and playful toys for cats. I prioritize keeping track of each pet's unique needs—whether it’s medications, exercise preferences, or calming techniques for nervous pets. Home visits allow me to adapt to their environments, offering tailored care that mirrors their usual habits. My goal is to integrate their care into my routine seamlessly, balancing work and personal time with being their reliable companion. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to relax and play, along with a cozy area for resting. Their feeding and exercise schedules will mirror their normal routine as closely as possible, and I'll provide enrichment activities like interactive toys or sniffing games to keep them happy and engaged. For pets who need a little extra attention, I offer calm reassurance and maintain a peaceful atmosphere to help them feel at ease. In the Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and sense of familiarity. I’ll follow instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and any special needs or medications. I also keep the home clean and tidy, ensuring that toys, bedding, and food areas are in good condition. If the pet enjoys walks, I’ll take them out exploring, providing physical activity and mental stimulation. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, as if they were with a trusted friend.

About: Hi! I’m basically the kind of person who will ask to pet your dog before I ask your name. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas to Huskies and Anatolian Shepherds, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each pup unique. Whether your dog is super energetic, shy and nervous, obsessed with playing, or just wants a cozy nap buddy, I’m happy to match their vibe. I also have experience with fearful/anxious dogs, including pups who get nervous during storms or around new people, so patience and making animals feel safe always comes first for me. I work from home, which means your pet gets lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family 🐶🐾💛 I am full-time work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, cuddles, potty breaks and walks throughout the day! I have a fenced in back yard, allow pets on my furniture and beds, and a very dog friendly neighborhood for walks! Prefer to have pets at my home but willing to do short stay overnights or stop in visits at clients homes.

About: I had my first dog when I was 5 and up until I was a Junior in highschool when we lost our beloved Burnie. He was my best friend, I would always tell people I was his go-to human we had our daily walks. Since then I have been the family pet sitter which have included plenty of dogs. I am currently a full-time college student but I am free everyday after 4pm. On the weekends I am a little more flexible I just need to know ahead a few days prior if you need services earlier than 4! I do live inside of an apartment but I have space in the back where I can give walks and potty breaks. There are currently no pets inside of my home but your pet is allowed on top of my sofa!

Chris is super sweet and incredibly responsive. Since she lives so close, scheduling was really easy. I was a little apprehensive at first about having someone come into our home, but she was extremely professional and immediately made me feel comfortable. She picked up Angel, took her on a long walk, and followed my directions exactly (I saw on the cameras). When I got home, Angel was totally tucked out and clearly very happy. 10/10 I’ll definitely be booking with Chris again, and I highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Point Venture

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Point Venture is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 6,909 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Point Venture. 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 Point Venture. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Point Venture 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 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 Point Venture. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
