About: Hi! I'm Wendy! I've always had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs. I have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to look after your fur babies. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them extra love and attention, I'll make sure your pets feel happy and comfortable while you're away. I'm currently a college student, and I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I'm excited to meet your furry family members and hopefully become someone you can count on! I currently work three days a week, so I'm available anytime on Thursdays and Fridays! Whether your pup needs a potty break, some playtime, or a nice walk, I'd love to help! I'm also happy to work around schedules that fit with mine and give your pets plenty of love and attention while you're away. Having dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to know they're in good hands! I'll always follow your pet's routine and any special instructions you provide. During visits, I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention and a safe environment. I always double check doors, gates and leashes during walks and potty breaks. I'm more than happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is being cared for!

“Heather was just wonderful. She’s caring and attentive to Bruno’s needs and updated me with photos through the 2 days. She’s also very responsive and walked him on the times we discussed. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to walk and take care of your dog if you’re away from home.”

About: Dogs are family. We will take care of your kiddos like family when they’re with us. We enjoy long walks, lots of ear scratches and play. Dogs are the sweetest and I’d be happy to walk or care for your sweet pups. Dogs are family and you can anticipate they we’ll treat yours like beloveds. Happy to help with: walks, runs, day sitting, feeding, care, overnights (at your house ie., feed & let them out at night and feed and take out in the AM). We currently have two (2) dogs—a 1 year old German Shepherd and a 2.5 year old whippet. We’ve had lots of different dogs over the years and this summer alone we cared for 30 dogs in just July. So much fun. We care for pets everyday—main focus! We walk dogs and let them play in the yard. We foster cats and dogs at local shelters and we have 6 cats and 2 dogs of our own. We have all sized crates and a 4 foot fenced yard with a wooden deck too and grass. We can dedicate a specific cat room for cats with toys.

About: I have loads of experience caring for pets. I've had pets all my life, been pet sitting for friends and family for years, and even worked at a veterinary office! I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and birds. I've raised litters of kittens and puppies as well as cared for elderly pets. I am responsible, on-time, and communicative. I am seeking furry friends to hang out with when I work from home. I work from home two days a week, and eat lunch at home every day. I know pups can get lonely during the day, just like I do with remote work, so I thought it'd be nice for us to hang out! I get an hour lunch where I could take them for walks as well. I love building relationships with pets whether it's earning a cats trust or being playful with a dog. My day job is relaxed so I have plenty of time to give them my attention.

I am a very active person so I love taking dogs on walks, hikes and runs. I also love love ;) Making your pets feel safe and loved is my priority! I can do drop in visits, overnights in your home, and also boarding. Whether it's a walk or a week trip away, I will prioritize your animals as well as taking care of the house so its ready for you to come home. I have two amazing dogs and I believe that dogs are the best best friends and should be treated as such.

I also have availability to spend overnights with them! In your home, I give your pets as much exercise as they want as well as all of the snuggles and enrichment to make them feel safe & comfortable. If boarding at my place...

About: Hi, I'm Kirstie (pronounced "curse-tea"). I'm a huge animal lover and have taken care of my own and other people's cats and dogs since I was a child.

I'm very good with cats of all personalities especially and administering their medications. I'm trustworthy, dependable, and capable of following complex instructions. I hope you'll choose me to care for your pets. :) I'm also an artist and paint custom pet portraits, let me know if you'd like to learn more! I own my own small business and create my own schedule, which offers me lots of flexibility. I can be made available most days, please reach out for inquiries.

About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I could talk: dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, anything with a pulse lol. I am a veterinary social worker with a passion in the animal human bond. I have recently started training to be a dog trainer. I have experience working with high energy dog breeds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. Many of the skills that I use as a therapist are transferable to training and bonding with animals. It’s so exciting to connect the information I know about humans with working with animals. I work full time as a therapist and am gone for about 3-4 hours at a time. After 3-4 hours I come home to check on all animals. Weekends I am completely open. The day typically starts around 8am in my household and schedule may vary depending on the needs of the animals in my home. I have a fenced in yard and designated dog room for crating animals while I am away. It is important to me that your animals safety is top priority, so when unsupervised they will be crated in a room designed for their comfort. I have 2 friendly pups who have been through professional training & one cat who minds his own business. I have the ability to separate your animals from other animals if needed. I can accommodate various needs.

About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years and would love visit, walk, play, bathe, and stay overnight with your pets as needed. While I have a soft spot in my heart for cats, and foster kittens through HES, I've also worked as a dog grooming assistant in the past and know nuances to ALL dog breeds. My friends rely on me for their pet sitting needs and I'm looking to expand my furry friends! My schedule is versatile from week to week but I love to work pet sitting in. Depending on the day, I may not be able to accommodate dogs that need to be let out within 6hours or less, but I will do my best to work within your schedule and timing! I'm a clean guest and respect other people's space. I also love to bake (at my own home) so I may leave some sweet treats for you before I leave!

Leslie was an amazing pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog as well as my friends dog who can be extremely anxious. Leslie went out of her way to make sure he felt comfortable with treats and patience. She was flexible with time changes and even came through when I had a blunder of my own and didn’t provide accurate information (sorry again Leslie!). I would recommend her to anyone as she is attentive, kind, understanding, and most importantly excellent with dogs. I will certainly be using Leslie for all of my future dog sitting/walking needs.

Sophia was great! She walked our two dogs — a 70 lb Labradoodle and a 50 lb Border Collie/Poodle mix — and handled them both confidently and with ease. They can be a handful together, but she clearly has experience with larger, high-energy dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. The dogs came back happy and well exercised. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ridgeside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ridgeside is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 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 762 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ridgeside. 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 Ridgeside. 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 Ridgeside 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 Ridgeside. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
