Matthew always takes such good care of my Giant Schnauzer, Winnie! He is thoughtful, takes her exercise to the next level, finding places timber are safe to let her off leash to run, and keeps her engaged with toys as well! He is the best!

About: I don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. I’m comfortable with puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of patience, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, gentle handling, and close monitoring. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and specific instructions so your dog’s normal schedule stays consistent. Clear communication and photo updates are also a priority for me, so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I prioritize creating a schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure I have dedicated time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins so each dog gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized and plan my days to avoid overbooking, which allows me to be fully present and attentive. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening routines, I make sure your dog’s needs come first and their schedule stays consistent. I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual environment and routine to minimize stress. I carefully follow all instructions, keep their space clean, and make sure they get consistent exercise, enrichment, and companionship.

About: Hi! I’m Kristen. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Labradoodle mom to my girl, Ecko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I work from home as a recruiter, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. Services I Offer: * 🐶 Dog Walking * 🏡 House Sitting (Overnights in Your Home) * Drop-In Visits * 🐱 Cat Care * Medication Administration * Feeding & Fresh Water * Exercise & Playtime * Potty Breaks & Litter Box Cleaning * Light Grooming (Brushing, Paw Wipes, etc.) * Photo & Video Updates * Care for Other Pets (Just Ask!) I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with cats, puppies, senior pets, and pets that need medication or a little extra patience. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether you’re heading out for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is for you to have complete peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, and I’ll make sure your pets get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home as a recruiter, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to caring for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with a pet, I can easily accommodate visits during the day, evenings, and many weekends. As a proud Labradoodle mom of 8 years, caring for animals has been part of my everyday life for a long time. Spending time with pets is genuinely something I enjoy, and I love being able to use my flexible schedule to help local pet owners while giving their pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I also know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. During visits, I provide plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how your furry family member is doing and have peace of mind knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I always respect my clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so pet parents can have peace of mind. Safety is my top priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and preferences. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate what makes them happiest. 🐾

About: I have grown up with animals and currently have two dogs, Charlie and Chelsea! I grew up wanting to be a vet, which resulted in me learning all that I could about animals. I have so much love for them and would have a hundred of my own if I could! I am very responsible and respectful of what owners do and don’t want their pets to do. I have had both small and large dogs of my own throughout my life, so I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule. I love to get out and be active as much as I can during my week! I also love to relax, so an animal who just needs some company is great too. I have a fenced in yard at home and two friendly dogs (a Lab and a Border Collie Mix). They love to be outside and play.

About: My and my puppies (Pilot- 11 and Maxie- 14) love having other furry friends to play with! With younger puppies, I can maintain any training protocols you’re working on (leash walking, potty training, chewing). For seniors, I can accommodate whatever you need from me while in my care. For all others, we have lots of options to have fun, keep them busy, or just chill out. I’m home all day so there’s plenty of time for playing, cuddles, walks and attention. Lots of toys, furniture and dog beds for your babies to play with or get comfy. I have a lot of experience with dogs that may have difficulties on walks (pulling, chasing, reactive). I always make sure the pets are comfortable and have their needs met. My apartment is on the 1st floor and the back door leads to the doggy courtyard so potty breaks don’t have to be scorching for them in these Texas summer months.

About: I love all pets and have had two dogs of my own. My first was a terrier mix and my current is a staffie, so I am well accustomed to larger dogs. Additionally, I have been trusted in multiple instances to take care of other people’s pets ranging from bully breeds to pugs. I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet is well taken care of and loved when you need it! Throughout my life I’ve been surrounded by various types of dogs, ranging from chihuahuas to pits, big energy to small, and puppy to senior! This has given me the knowledge and experience to provide adequate care for your pup no matter where they are in their life or how special their personality is! My favorite part about dogs is how expressive they are! They love showing love and really are a great best friend! Currently, I am a teacher and am on summer break, so my availability is very open. I care for your pets as if they are my own! I prioritize meeting their needs and wants, and making your fur baby feel safe and loved. I follow their food, medication, and potty break routines closely! I will send check-in photos and texts during my visits. I am very reliable when it comes to the safety and well-being of your pet. They will always be fed and/or walked on time, or whatever else they may need. I have a large dog and she can play a little roughly sometimes, so that isn’t a problem if yours is the same. I can guarantee that they will feel loved and cared for under my supervision.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Richardson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Richardson on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,151 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Richardson. 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 Richardson. 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 Richardson.

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 Richardson. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.
