About: I have had multiple dogs and cats my entire life. I can easily handle multiple dogs with different personalities. I am also experienced in finding creative ways to keep dogs happy and recognize signs of annoyance or that a dog wants to be alone. I love going for walks and taking dogs with me. I also encourage play and almost always have some toys or treats in my car. I do allow dogs on our furniture and love to cuddle. I have 2 dogs of my own who are friendly and love to play chase and wrestle. I have a large fenced in backyard and a doggy door so dogs have access inside and out all day weather permitting. I’m a stay at home mom so I spend most of the day at home. Dogs will have free range of inside and outside while I’m home. I do have multiple gates and doors in our home so dogs can have separate spaces when needed. I do kennel one of our dogs when we leave the house and would put any other dogs in a separate room just to ensure safety of all the animals. I have a large fenced in backyard and a doggy door. My dogs are allowed free access inside and out. They also are allowed on furniture. I do lock up my dogs when we leave the house. I have a permanent baby gate and sliding door so I can keep dogs in the living room if they need to be separated.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, working with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra support. As an adult, I’ve owned and cared for 3 dogs and 6 cats, giving me hands‑on experience with diverse personalities. I’m comfortable supporting pets with behavioral challenges, trauma histories, and medical needs, including medication administration and structured routines. I’m also a long‑distance, fast‑paced walker, regularly taking my own dogs on 4‑mile daily walks, so high‑energy pups are always welcome. Family, friends, and coworkers have consistently relied on me to care for their pets, trusting me with everything from daily walks to extended stays. I bring patience, confidence, and genuine love to every animal I meet. I work from home during the week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate most visit times. Aside from occasional meetings, I’m generally available throughout the day—and for longer stays or extended visits. I can even log in and work from your home if needed. My remote schedule makes it easy for me to provide consistent care, frequent check‑ins, and plenty of attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for animals in your home, I follow clear routines, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels secure every step of the way. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort zones so I can provide calm, confident care—especially for animals with behavioral challenges or past trauma. During drop‑in visits and walks, I maintain a structured, predictable environment: doors and gates are checked, leashes and harnesses are secured properly, and pets are never left unattended. I’m attentive to surroundings, other animals, and weather conditions to ensure every walk is safe and enjoyable. For pets needing medication or special handling, I follow your instructions precisely and communicate clearly after each visit. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets—clean, careful, and mindful of your routines. You can expect reliable communication, detailed updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a trustworthy, stress‑free experience that helps both you and your pet feel comfortable and supported.

About: My lifelong bond with animals began in childhood, growing up surrounded by pets who felt more like siblings than animals. This immersive upbringing allowed me to develop a deep empathy for them and a unique ability to read their subtle cues. To me, pets aren't just animals we keep—they are individuals capable of profound companionship. Animals easily recognize me as a friend, sensing that I am someone who genuinely respects their space, understands their needs, and loves them just for who they are. My sister would drive 10 miles everyday to drop her puppy off with me, despite closer friends and family who wanted to care for him. She knew he would be the center of my attention and she would never have to worry. I own a small chocolate business and chauffeur kids to and from school and activities makes it difficult to have a basic 9 to 5 and I miss being around dogs We no longer allowed pets in our home so any sitting I do will be at the pet owners. The type of pet care depends on the pets demeanor. If they are used to close attention or hate being alone. Then we chilling together, if they are more like a cat but still need supervision I won't cramp their space. They just know someone's around when needed or to keep it off trouble When my sister had her puppy that everyone wanted to sit.. she drove out of her way to bring to me, I was the only one she knew he was in great hands

About: I was blessed to grow up with my Maltese, Cookie, for 14 wonderful years. My fiancé and I now share our 7 year old Australian Shepherd mix, Astro, and he’s truly part of the family. 🐾 I've always loved animals and grew up around all kinds of pets, including fish, bearded dragons, and turtles. I also spent a lot of my childhood outdoors and developed a love for animals and nature. I earned my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University as a pre-vet student. Ive worked at a zoo as a zoo keeper and was briefly introduced to dog training. I'm now finishing my Master's in Counseling, with a long-term goal of incorporating therapy dogs and horses into my work. I'm excited to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I'd want for my own. Whether they need a walk, some playtime, or just a little company while you're away, I'd love to help! ❤️ Please feel free to reach out with any questions or just to chat! My schedule is flexible, and I’ll keep my availability up to date. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping them safe and comfortable. For house sitting, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. 🐾

About: I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I have grooming supplies on hand if you'd like your dog to be clean and smelling fresh the day they're due to go home. I never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, tools, and equipment to ensure the best possible stay. I am a stay at home mom and am home everyday. I employ what I describe as the perfect balance of a dog being in a home setting it's used to while also having the security on the individual dog level of a kennel boarding facility. During the day the dogs get as much play time as they prefer and the weather will allow. I wake up early and the first thing I do is take all the dogs out to the backyard. The entire yard is available for any dog once I get familiar with them and their behaviors. My goal is to eliminate as much chance as possible of escaping, fighting, over heating, fence aggression, getting into things commonly found in backyards such as trash cans, etc. while also making sure they are fulfilled mentally and physically each day. For your pets sleeping or daytime napping arrangements I try to mimic their home routine as much as possible. I have one large and a small kennel in my home reserved for dogs that are used to being caged at night or they can stay in bed with me and get all the cuddles. No other dog can try to steal their food, your pet won't eat another pets food which is great for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and it virtually eliminates the possibility for any resource guarding behaviors. I go above and beyond to make sure every dog enjoys their stay in the safest possible manner. They have someone who understands their nature and fulfills their needs. I am a stay at home mom to 4 kids and a military spouse of 23 years. My kids are all in school and absolutely love all animals. I am always available to walk, pet sit or boarding. I have a very large fenced in yard with a dog door. I love walking dogs and getting some energy out. I have a crate that can be used as needed.

About: With 10+ years of experience owning dogs, a secure fenced yard, and a flexible work-from-home schedule, I provide attentive, loving care all day long. I have experience with dogs of all ages including senior dog. I treat all pets as of they are my own. I structure my work-from-home schedule around pet care. Morning walks, midday play in the fenced yard, and evening check-ins are all part of the daily rhythm. Whether in my home or a client’s, I stick to each pet’s routine—feeding, walks, meds, and play. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication.

About: I have worked at a pet resort for multiple years, in which I monitor group play with a variety of temperaments, administer medication and care for dogs and cats on a daily basis. I’ve also had multiple dogs and cats throughout childhood, teenage, and in my adult years. I have experience with pets of all personalities and strive to learn more about each animal to be able to accommodate them to ensure they are most comfortable. I work 4 days a week, so I am able to pet sit/walk throughout the day mostly on weekends and Mondays, however my weekday off day could flex to Friday availability as well. I have 2 friendly dogs, one medium and one small with a fully fenced in backyard to keep your pet company! But they could easily be in our room for those that are picky with their friends. I also have 2 indoors cats but they could be sequestered for pets that may not enjoy feline company. I also have experience with crate training and potty training if applicable to your pup! I have the utmost respect for my client’s homes and their pet’s already established routines- no matter how extensive!

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. I have a special place in my heart for older dogs and have experience administering oral medications to dogs. I am flexible to your dog's needs, like special diet foods, time of feeding, medicines, or any other special requests. I have some professional experience walking dogs. I dream of owning a dog-friendly business one day. I have a house with a large fenced yard and extra bedrooms for boarding, though I am happy to have dogs in my bedroom to sleep at night so they are comfy and don't get lonely. My top goal is to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all animals. They are everything! I look forward to meeting you and your pet.

My puppy loved seeing her come through the door and he attacked her with kisses everytime. She popped in to walk him on time everyday and even came in after the walk to check water/food levels! ❤️ 1000% recommend!!!! Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

About: Sit. Stay. Vacation. While you’re away, your dog is enjoying a vacation of their own. 🐶🏝️ I’ve had dogs my entire life, have a long history of watching other people’s pets and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether that’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Professionally, I spent several years managing multiple businesses and leading teams, where reliability, communication, and attention to detail were essential every day. You can expect prompt communication, regular photo updates, and dependable care from start to finish. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide personalized care throughout the day. Whether your dog needs walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals on a consistent schedule, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing while you’re away. *I send pictures at least once DAILY, via your preferred contact method, my profile says 50% that is inaccurate* Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is shared with three friendly, social dogs: Phoebe, a 7-year-old 5-pound Pomeranian; Daisy, a playful 1½-year-old 40-pound fox hound mix; and Leo, a gentle 10-year-old 35-pound Border Collie. All three are accustomed to other dogs of all sizes and are crate trained. I have a securely fenced huge yard for supervised outdoor play and maintain a clean, pet-friendly home. Every dog is different, so I require a meet-and-greet before boarding or daycare to ensure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions—and provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. My home is set up specifically with dogs in mind, giving them plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at home. I also have a dedicated quiet room with soft lighting and calming music where dogs can nap, decompress, or enjoy one-on-one attention whenever they need a break. I carefully supervise group play, separate dogs when appropriate, and follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions to help every stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll care for your pet and your home with the same attention and respect I give my own.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of caring for dogs. Since I was a kid, I’ve looked after my neighbors’ dogs walking them, keeping them company, and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I truly understand how important pets are; they’re family. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always provide the best, most attentive care possible.❣️🐾🐈🦮 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which allows me to have most afternoons available, as well as weekend mornings. This gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve without rushing. I’m able to be flexible and dependable, making sure each pet’s needs are fully met. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while maintaining their normal daily routine. I also keep owners updated with check ins so they feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I’m very good at following diet restrictions (Example: Our family dog requires sweet potato and chicken in her food, cooked and chilled after cooking.) Currently, my availability is 3 weekdays. I work remotely with a mostly flexible schedule, so that leaves me with enough time to do drop-ins and/or dog walks! A typical drop-in involves letting your pup outside to potty, temporary playtime if possible, and feeding them (with ingredients provided beforehand by the customer).

FAQs for Dog Walking - Richland Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Richland Hills is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 7,121 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Richland Hills. 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 Richland Hills. 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 , 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 Richland Hills 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richland Hills. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
