About: I treat every pet like my own, giving them lots of attention, patience, and care. I’m comfortable with puppies who need consistency and basic training, as well as senior pets who need a gentler approach and extra attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my part-time job because I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my week around each pet’s needs, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, visits, playtime, and quality care. I always make sure every pet gets consistent attention and never feels rushed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I also keep things clean, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have grown up my whole life with pets including cats and dogs. I currently have a black lab and my family has 5 dogs that I frequently walk and watch. I also dog sit my friend’s golden retriever regularly. I am going back to school online and have a work from home schedule so I frequently let our dog out on walks throughout the day! I am available for boarding on weekends and all weekdays. I live in an apartment complex with a quiet neighborhood feel, dog park, and rose garden for getting steps in. We have a 6 year old black lab who loves playing with other pups!

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 substitute teacher, so my availability fluctuates depending on the week. 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.

About: Soy y siempre he sido una amante de los animales. Esto me ha llevado a tener la suerte de crecer rodeado de muchas mascotas propias, así como de una gran cantidad de otros animales.

This has led me to be fortunate enough to grow up around plenty of pets of my own as well as a plethora of other animals. I’ve done just about everything from training puppies to not pull on their leash or learn to swim in the pool to taking care of senior animals in order to ensure the highest level of comfort. Cuidar de mascotas se integra perfectamente en mi rutina mientras navego transiciones laborales.

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 been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for a house full of pets—including a cat, parakeets, fish, and even a couple of snapping turtles—and have loved both cats and dogs throughout my life. As an adult, I was lucky enough to spend 11 years with our beloved German Shepherd mix, Evie. We completed obedience training together, and I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, routines, training reinforcement, playtime, and all the everyday care that comes with sharing your life with a dog. As Evie got older, I also gained experience caring for a senior dog through arthritis and, eventually, a period of significant illness. Her needs changed considerably during her final months, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications, keeping an eye on changes in appetite or behavior, adapting routines for an older or less-active dog, and understanding when something just doesn’t seem quite right. I’ve also cared for pets for neighbors and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. Since losing Evie in 2022, we haven’t been ready to bring another pet into our family, so I’d genuinely love the opportunity to spend some time caring for yours. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and—most importantly—I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m self-employed and set my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my day. I’m generally available for morning visits beginning around 8:30 AM, as well as midday and afternoon care. I can build walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention into each pet’s normal routine, and I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. I know consistency matters, especially when pets are away from their people, so I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. We are a family of four with two children, ages 10 and 7, and our home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. We don’t currently have any pets of our own, so visiting dogs won’t need to adjust to other resident animals. I know every pet has different routines, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and house rules. I’m also happy to learn about your pet’s personality, triggers, quirks, and favorite things before their stay so we can make our home feel as comfortable and familiar as possible.

About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. But i do work 3-11pm 4 days and Sunday i work 7am-3pm. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.

About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to pet care and my dedication to ensuring each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe.

Additionally, I focus on understanding each pet’s unique personality and routines, tailoring my care to their specific needs. With excellent communication, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. For me, pet care is more than a service—it’s a passion!

Each day is structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet relaxation to ensure the pets feel happy and secure. I adapt my schedule to accommodate each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s administering medications, offering extended outdoor exercise, or just snuggling on the couch. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s a passion. My week revolves around creating a safe, happy environment for every pet I look after, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. I provide attentive and personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Richardson on Rover is $22 per walk as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per walk. 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 of September 2026, there are 8,036 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 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:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
