“Megan is fantastic! She responded to my last-minute request and took excellent care of my senior dog. She kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
About: I have loved caring for animals since the moment my family took us to get a dog and two cats at the age of 10. I have watched animals in the neighborhood growing up and into adulthood for friends, family and Neighboor's. I have owned one dog on my own into adulthood but she is no longer with me. I love watching and meeting new animals and I’m a snuggler and attention giver! I work remotely so I can watch your kiddos at my apartment which has 3 dog parks or I can watch from the comfort of your home or walk at either space! I can go on long walks at my place, go to the dog areas at my complex or come to your home at your pets comfortable level! I am 3 weeks remote out of the month and have plenty of time to give your pet attention, going on walks and playtime. Cuddles included! Pets are free to roam my apartment and sleep in my bed! If crate training I can definitely accommodate your routine to make your per most comfortable
About: I’ve always been a major dog person and have owned a dog throughout my whole life. I love hosting and taking care of family & friend’s pets in my free time so in my recent life change to a full time student I decided to extend my home on the weekends to more pups! I have experience with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and medical needs. I am a full time doctoral student and stay at home on the weekends studying so have time galore to spend looking after and playing with your pup! I have a large high fenced in backyard. I have 2 very friendly middle aged dogs that love to play and keep your fur baby company while you are away!
About: I don’t just watch dogs—I engage with them. I have a passion for training, so I naturally reinforce good behavior, structure, and basic commands while I’m with your dog. I’m patient and attentive, whether I’m working with a young dog building habits or a senior dog who needs a calm, gentle approach. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and more balanced when you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my schedule so I can give each pet my full attention during visits or stays, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home by keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow their established routine closely and pay attention to their comfort, body language, and behavior. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not alone, while also keeping the home tidy and respected at all times.
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: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life. Family and friends tell me that I treat my dogs like they are people; I say that I just love them and they love me. You can be sure that I would love and care for your pets just as much. Please don't leave them home alone. Contact me and enjoy your time away from home - your pets will be in great hands with attentive care. My schedule is flexible which allows me the opportunity to be home during the day, and all nights. Please, no aggressive dogs. I will make sure that your dogs are comfortable and safe with me. I have an 8' fenced back yard, with security cameras. I enjoy being outside with your furbabies and will provide that extra level of security when they are running around in the backyard. I have hard floors for easy clean-up. I also provide extra blankets to keep your furbabies warm. I also have a separate eating area set up for your furbabies. I keep one extra crate, if needed when you bring your dog.
About: Hello there! My husband and I are thrilled to offer a clean, safe, and nurturing home for your fur baby while you're away. We'll give them lots of attention, playtime, and care, and of course plenty of photo updates. We both work from home and have two pugs of our own, Boba (5) and Beanie (9). We know how much trust goes into leaving your dog with someone else, which is why we use Rover for our own pugs when we travel. A few things that might help: - We only take ONE CLIENT at a time, so your pup gets our undivided attention. - Our 2,100 sq ft, 2-story single-family home makes it easy to separate dogs if needed, and we're happy to adjust to whatever your dog is comfortable with. - Our fenced backyard gives your pup a secure space to explore and play. - You'll get daily photo updates. We want you to feel connected even when you're apart. - Someone is home all day, so your dog is never left alone for long stretches. We'd love to meet your four-legged family member and give them a home-away-from-home full of love and tail wags. We both work from home Monday through Friday and can be flexible with any scheduling needs. Let us know if you have any set schedule for your pup and we'll do our best to accommodate! We have a fenced, turf yard and there is also a small dog park in our community. We have two very friendly pugs and can make any necessary adjustments.
About: We have taken care of pups from 2 months to senior dogs so understand the care/play needs of pups at different ages and different breeds. Me and my husband are remote workers (so if you wish, you could have two caretakers for the price of one) that can easily provide care for your pets. At this moment we are choosing to go to the environment of your pet/pets to support their sense of comfort and familiarity. We will abide by whatever needs you may have to maintain the security and respect of your home and pet.
“Thank you so so much! I was super afraid of sending my pup with a stranger but Rhea did amazing an amazing job taking care of my girl ♥️ She looked so happy in the pictures. Will definitely request her again!”
“Jordan was incredible with our little Rozlyn. She made sure Rozlyn’s walks were fun and she got adequate exercise. I appreciate her patience, attentive approach, calm demeanor and caring treatment of Rozlyn. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richardson
Lindsey is, without question, one of the most caring and professional people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she notices the little things, anticipates needs before they arise, and treats my dog with the same level of love and respect that I do. Every interaction with her is thoughtful, consistent, and reassuring. What really sets Lindsey apart is the combination of her kindness and her professionalism. She communicates clearly, shows up reliably, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone who brings this level of dedication to their work. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and bring absolute excellence to every visit, Lindsey is the one. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Richardson is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 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 7,744 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 Richardson. 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 Richardson 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 Richardson. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
