About: With 20 years of pet ownership, I have a deep understanding of animals and their needs. I have experience dog sitting for family and friends, which has equipped me to provide a loving, nurturing environment. I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and truly cherished while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize feeding, walks, play, and companionship to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I work Monday through Friday and am available evenings and weekends to provide consistent, attentive care. I currently own two dogs and recently cared for three until my 17-year-old senior beagle passed away in September. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for safe play, exercise, and enrichment, and I focus on maintaining routines, comfort, and individual attention so pets feel secure and at home.

About: I’ve fostered for the SPCA. I’ve sat for countless friends, family and colleagues. I have an undeniable connection with nearly all animals that I encounter. I’m currently a stay at home mom for my 11 year old son. Also, having 2 adult daughters, 1 of which is currently in college and the other just got married last year and is starting a family of her own. I have a VERY large fully fenced in backyard that is ideal for dogs of all ages and breeds. I allow them full access to roam freely inside or outside by use of the doggie door. If I have dogs from different families I have 3 separate fully furnished and doggie friendly “guest rooms” that allow for space and privacy if needed.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years! My background goes far beyond simply owning pets. I've worked as a veterinary assistant and lead receptionist at Heights Veterinary Clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, temperaments, and medical needs. I also worked as a supervisor at Urban Tails, a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained valuable experience caring for dogs in a group environment. In addition to my professional experience, I've volunteered with animal shelters and rescue organizations, including the Houston Humane Society and Pasadena Animal Control. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. My veterinary background has also given me experience recognizing changes in behavior and signs that an animal may not be feeling its best. I understand that pets aren't just animals; they're family! I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether your baby needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to make them feel safe and loved while you're away, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I'm currently a college student, which allows me some flexibility in my schedule! I enjoy spending time at home with my family and our pets, so caring for additional furry friends fits naturally into my routine. I do have school-aged children and will be attending some in-person college classes, so my availability may vary depending on the day. I keep my Rover calendar updated and do my best to accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Whether your baby needs a fun day of play, a comfortable overnight stay, or some extra love and attention while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for everyone! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home has a spacious, fully fenced 1.5-acre backyard with two gates that remain locked. There's plenty of room for supervised outdoor playtime, exploring, and burning off some energy! I also have indoor home security cameras for added peace of mind. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Introductions are handled carefully, and pets can be separated when needed. Outdoor playtime is always supervised. With my background working in veterinary medicine and professional dog daycare and boarding, I'm experienced in recognizing animal behavior, understanding different temperaments, and identifying potential health or safety concerns. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications when applicable, exercise routines, and any special accommodations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space, maintain their pet's usual routine, and provide regular updates and pictures. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving their family peace of mind!

About: Ask me about $20 off on your first booking with me! I live on a 20+ acres farm. Plenty of room for your furbabies to play fetch, roam around and run with freedom. I will teach your fur babies some manners/commands if they don't know any, and even some ASL! They are smarter than you think they are. I am a very respectful and loving person. You will not be disappointed. I can make your dog sleep good at night. I can take care of any types of breed and willing to learn about his/her needs. I will research before I meet your dog’s type of breed to get to know them better so I can provide much better service than what you will ask for. Thank you for reading this and hope to hear you soon! Pet sitting is my full time job. I love spending time with fur-babies on daily basis on top of taking care of my own furry ones. I typically take my dogs on daily walk and to the dog park to ease their mind instead of being cooped up in the house all the time. I can provide the same for your fur-babies.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old while living with my parents, including feeding, playing, and helping with daily care. In the past few months, I have also been taking care of my own cat, Zeno, which has given me consistent hands-on experience with feeding schedules, attention, and daily pet needs. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm available to provide reliable cat care throughout the week. I can work with your cat's regular feeding and care routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll communicate with you during each visit and do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. Your cat's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, keep litter boxes clean, and make sure doors and windows remain secure. I respect your home, keep your cat's routine as consistent as possible, and provide a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and cared for while you're away.

About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all age, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive to routines, great with details, and always on time. What sets me apart is consistency and genuine care. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and fell in love with their unique personalities. Friends and family always knew they could count on me to treat their pets like my own. Now I bring that same care to every client. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, meal, or overnight stay, you can count on me for reliable, loving care and clear communication. My schedule is very flexible, so your pet always gets the time and attention they need. I plan my day around my clients needs to keep their routine consistent. Whether it’s walks, overnight says, or drop-ins, I manage my time to support each client with the individualized care you deserve. Since I work from home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day. You can count on me to be responsive, reliable, and fully present with your dogs or cats. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat your home and pet with the same respect I’d want for mine. I always ask about routines, preferences (both for you and your pets), and special needs to make sure your pet gets personalized care. Safety, comfort, and clear communication are my #1 priorities.

About: With a Yorkie and Pomeranian in my family, I have been well equipped to take care of any pup! I love these furry guys and understand how important it is to have quality time away with quality care equipped for our little guys. I am currently a student at the University of Houston and am incorporating pet care into my schedule. I truly make time to make sure my clients pets are cared for. My Mondays-Friday afternoons are relatively free but please reach out and I can be flexible! In my own home, we have a free space for our dogs but keep any dangerous food or objects out of site as they have very sensitive stomachs. Remaining attentive with my little guys is very important as they get into trouble when they are not in sight. I am receptive & understanding to any requests needed for any home or service.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old and they have always been my best friend and a big part of my life. I also have a 6 year old Goldendoodle who is a huge part of our family. I love dogs of all sizes and ages and really enjoy spending time with them. I’ve also taken care of a lot of my friends’ dogs while they’ve been out of town, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime and giving them plenty of attention. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while they’re with me. My work schedule is flexible. I start my days early and am usually available after 2 PM, giving me plenty of time for pet care. I treat every pet like my own. I follow their normal routine and provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also ensure walks and a safe, comfortable, stress-free environment where they feel happy and cared for.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Richwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 436 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Richwood. 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 Richwood. 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 Richwood 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 Richwood. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
