“Tamara truly is such a pleasure to work with! I’ve used her for both walks and housesitting for my spoiled eight-year-old girl and each time is truly worth it. She always leaves everything so clean and tidy, sends great updates and is so flexible with my schedule. I always feel at ease, when Tamara’s taking care of of my furry angel.”

“Hope took amazing care of our golden retriever while we were out of town for the week. She was flexible with her schedule and set up early morning walks to avoid the summer heat. Hope also had great recommendations to help with walks as well. We would 100% recommend Hope for any of your pet sitting needs! She’s the best!!”

About: I have been taking care of friends and family’s dogs for years and simply can’t get enough. I am a currently university. While not at college I live with Baxter my yellow lab, and three cats Binx, Goose, and Milo. I work as a Veterinary Assistant during the summers.I have first hand experience with topical, oral, and aural medication as needed. I am currently a university student. I have the most availability on weekends. I’m available daily during weekdays in the morning and in the evening. I like to start slow especially with the more shy pets. From that point I may use treats or some time for slow sniffing. Once I’ve built a trust with your pet I find it helpful for the dog to watch you pass their leash to me as a passing or trust. For walks the dogs are always leashed. I offer both short and long walks and will match the pace that best suits your pet from slow sniffing filled walks to fast paced trots. I am available for both in home visits and overnight stays, feedings, bathroom breaks, and medication administration as needed.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats for over 8 years. As a lifelong pet owner and student preparing for a Veterinary Technology program, pets are my world. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! Currently, I work part time and attend college classes. I am fully available on Mondays and Tuesdays. I am also available on other weekdays/weekends as needed.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a kid. Today, I still have two family dogs and two cats that I absolutely adore. One of my favorite things to do is get outside and exercise, so if your dog loves long walks, runs, or adventures, I’m always happy to help them burn off some energy! I’m very comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved! Schedule I work from home with a very flexible schedule during the week, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My family dogs and cats stay at my parents so I don’t have any pets in my apartment.

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for cats and 3 years with dogs. I trained my dog when he was a puppy, rescued stray cats and helped a lost dog find a new home. Also introduce my second cat who is a strayed cat to my first cat. I’m currently in my gap year so I have lots of time to caring your cat or dogs (also puppy!) Pet care fits into my daily routine as I enjoy spending time training, feeding, and playing with them. Boarding pets will have their own bedroom, and share the living room with/without resident cats depending on how they get along. I have a safe environment at home. There’s no child in home. Additionally, I have experience with pet training and caring for both rescueds and domestic pets. I ensure a loving and secure atmosphere for your furry companions.

About: I've grown up taking care of so many pets. We always had dogs and cats in our house but also reptiles, chickens, horses and more! Friends, family, neighbors and so many others have relied on me to take care of their pets and I can do the same for you. Whether they want to walk, play, need check in or a loving cuddle I got it handled! I'm very flexible and although I do have a job I can work around it to find the best times to take care of your furry friend. I'm aware I'll be walking on their turf so I promise to be respectful and caring. I will accommodate their needs and meet them on their level.

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Pet care fits into my schedule because I’m at home numerous times throughout the day with me being a personal trainer. My clients are scattered through out the day so it makes it easy to take care of pets while during my down times in the day! I have a pretty good sized back yard that is great for my two dogs as well as a fenced in back yard. We often have our friends dogs over as well and there is always plenty of space for them all.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Richmond Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Richmond Heights is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $27 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 2,533 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Richmond Heights. 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 Richmond Heights. 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 Richmond Heights 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 Richmond Heights. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
