“Emma was great and super flexible with our dog's needs. She showed up on time and adjusted their walks according to their needs. This is huge for families with older and reactive dogs! I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again in the future.”

I work from home and my schedule is very flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup. I’m available any day of the week, I just need about 1 day advance notice. I have a massive fenced backyard. About 1/2 acre for your dog to run and play. I also have kids that adore dogs and would make them feel very loved! I have the room to crate them overnight.

About: I treat every dog like my own- prioritizing safety, consistency, and lots of love. Whether it’s a quick drop walk or extended sitting, I pay attention to your dogs unique personalities and needs. You’ll get dependable service, clear communication, and a happy, well cared for pup every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be flexible, attentive, and available throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent care, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company. I’m available anytime and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs, including early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated like part of my daily life, getting plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while you’re away. I provide attentive, personalized care for each pet in the comfort of their home, adjusting my routine based on the service that you book. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter cleaning, and spend quality time with your pet- whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For dogs walking, I ensure safe, engaging walks tailored to your dogs energy level, followed by water and a quick check in before I leave. For pet sitting or extended stays, I maintain your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, exercise, medication(if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for my aunt’s dogs for about 5 years, including two dachshunds and a black lab. Over time I’ve built a strong bond with them and learned how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I take care of feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, baths, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m also comfortable giving medication and following specific feeding routines or care instructions. I’m especially patient and attentive with senior pets and understand they may need extra care, gentleness, and attention to their routines. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I currently attend the University of North Texas (UNT), where I’m studying Construction Engineering Technology. Most of my classes are in the early morning to mid-afternoon, so I’m generally available in the evenings during the week and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I’m available at pretty much any time on Saturdays and Sundays for pet care! Outside of school, I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and spending time with my girlfriend and her cat, Jinx. I love being around animals and would be happy to spend my free time giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care. I value being dependable, organized, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs and routine, and I believe those qualities are important in providing a positive pet care experience. Since I live in a small apartment with a cat, I only offer pet care in my clients’ homes. I believe pets are most comfortable in a familiar environment, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention. I also prioritize keeping my clients’ homes clean and secure and providing regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs and cats, and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a sitter who pays attention to the little things like their habits, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I always follow your instructions closely. Whether your dog needs long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs. I send updates, respect your home, and make sure your pets feel loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱 My Experience Over the past decade, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with: Puppies and high‑energy dogs Senior pets who need patience and gentle routines Special‑needs animals requiring medication or extra monitoring Multi‑pet households 💛 Why Owners Love Working With Me Clear communication and daily updates Respect for your home and routines A calm, trustworthy presence pets bond with quickly Reliability! I show up on time, every time If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I’d love to help. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to love on your pets! I'm early to bed and early to rise, so your pets will get lots of early morning playtime and walks and evening cuddles. I am a firm believer in at minimum one walk a day (if your baby is physically able!), and I am always happy to do multiple walks and dog park trips!

About: I have raised dogs all of my life and I am a huge animal lover. Each animal I have had have always been rescues. I strongly believe in TLC for all pets. When you're away from home I will give all the love and pets to your furry friend. I love to walk dogs as it benefits both parties. Play time is incredibly important too. Without play time a pet can become restless and bored. I thoroughly enjoy playing fetch with dogs. I am promptly on time with potty breaks, feeding time, and any walking needs. Any request great or small will be done. I currently have a 11 year old male cat I raised from a kitten so I know cat's very well also. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate any and all pet needs a client may have. I do well with a detailed potty and feeding schedule. I send updates and pictures accordingly with feeding times and follow written instructions very well. I make sure family pets are kept to a standard routine so they feel right at home.

“Caitlyn did very good with Oreo! It was our first time trying to see if he’d do good with a dog walker and with no fault to Caitlyn, he did not. He was shy and very scared and not a fan of the idea. However, Caitlyn tried very hard to slowly work with him and kept me updated on the experience. I found it best to just leave him be as it was just a trial run and it helped me realize it is not for him! But I am very thankful for Caitlyn’s patience and kindness towards him and would recommend her for your pet!! She really cares about the animals she is working with.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ever since we rescued my first dog I’ve loved all dogs passionately. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and colleagues to care for their dogs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, love and responsibility to every visit. I am currently a full time student working on a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology. However, I have plenty of time to play with your pets on the weekends and all day Friday! I enjoy outdoor activities and would love to explore with your pets every chance I get! I provide care in your home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities—I’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and never left unattended.

About: Well hello :), I am a skilled kennel technician and Dog trainer with a solid background in animal care. I worked for an establishment known for boarding and grooming fur babies, as well as earning my certificate for positive reinforcement training, providing me with the opportunity to watch them throughout the day and night. That includes playtime, meals, nap time, or just simple boarding, and if needed administering medicine to those in need. While doing those I’m also very attentive to our surroundings, constantly monitoring conditions, to maintain a clean area and keeping an eye out for an unusual behavior. I am currently a Dog trainer at Petco, and in school for Veterinary Technology. I do have a very flexible schedule and could always make something work with just a heads up in a decent amount of time. i won’t schedule a day that i am working just for the sake of the animal. I provide loving in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and companionship while owners are away.

About: I have a 3 year-old Toy Poodle she’s a female. Her name is Darla. She is spayed. I adore all animals, especially dogs. I take Darla out for walks twice a day and I love walking them and caring for them. Darla is very playful and loves to play with dogs of all sizes, but if your dog is not in the mood to play, she will sense that and leave them alone. I will treat your fur baby as if it was was my own and part of my family! 🐶😻 I absolutely adore pets. Especially have a fondness for dogs. If I take care of your loved one it definitely fits into my daily or my weekly routine. I would care for your very loved one as if it were my own pet. I would follow the instructions for your particular pet because I know how important it is that the client feels their pet is safe and with a trusted person.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ponder

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,997 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ponder. 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 Ponder. 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 Ponder 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 Ponder. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
