“I highly recommend Cody and Amanda and plan to use them whenever we need care for our dog. We needed help walking our dog daily for 2 weeks and Cody was here every day as scheduled, friendly and energetic. Both he and Amanda have experience with dog training and handled our dog beautifully. All round good experience.”


“Izzy quickly became Lucy’s friend and took her out right on time for a nice afternoon walk! Will absolutely book her for future visits, not only for how great of a job she does but also because Lucy is looking forward to seeing her friend again! Thank you Izzy!”

About: I have dog-sat for many friends and family members, and I also worked at a boarding and daycare facility in Iowa, where I loved caring for and spending time with the dogs. I’ve also interned at two veterinary clinics, where I gained experience caring for dogs and helping with their medical needs. These experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog I care for. Currently, I am a pre-veterinary science student at Utah State, so my schedule will vary from semester to semester and week to week. Right now, I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons/evenings for walks or drop-ins, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-ins or pet sitting. Feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s needs! I am comfortable handling a wide range of cat and dog temperaments. Working at a boarding and daycare facility gave me experience working with dogs who are shy or timid, as well as dogs who may be reactive or aggressive around other animals, and more.
About: I am a veterinary student at Utah State looking for a side job! I have over 6 years of experience in the veterinary field working as a veterinary technician. I have over 4 years experience in pet sitting. Comfortable working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I will be a full time veterinary student in the fall. I will be available nightly and during the day for drop ins. Available on the weekends. I am a trained vet tech so I am willing to work with pets of any breed or age. Even pets that need extra attention. Trained and have experience with pets that require medication administration if needed.
About: I have lived with animals my entire life. Growing up I had a wide variety of animals. I have had experience caring for large and small dogs alike, senior dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication to many of these animals as well. I recently moved from the Midwest where I was a volunteer search and rescue member- closely working with the search dog teams and assisting as a handler as needed. I have experience working with these dogs in and out of the field. I have also trained in K-9 first aid. I work evenings M-F. My mornings and early afternoon are relatively free during the week. And I absolutely love going to visit some fur babies in the evening on my lunch break, or late at night visits after my shift. Currently, I'm fully available on the weekends for pet care as well. I can administer medications as needed. Your pet's safety and health are my number 1 priority. I can clean up after your pet as needed. Playtime, potty breaks, and snacks as well! And I will give them all the attention.
About: My family owns a dog rescue that I have been helping out/taking internships at for years! I also spent a lot of time working for the cache valley humane society as a volunteer for canines and felines. I grew up with many different animals in the household and my passion for animals is what makes me a great caretaker! I work part time so I have lots of time to care for your pups! I always have long lunch breaks which gives allowance for extra walks/outings. I love to hike so if that is something you think your dog would like send them over to me! I have an unfenced yard and two sweet female roommates to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and there is lots of space upstairs and downstairs for them to wander. When entering another home, I will be safe and respectful of all household wishes and concerns
About: I am a caring, dependable, and attentive caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I create a calm and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal like part of my family. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. Caring for animals fits in naturally with my day—I enjoy including them in walks, playtime, and a calm home environment where they feel safe and loved. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and routines. I also make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I provide this same safe, loving care for cats, making sure their litter boxes are clean and their routines are respected.
About: Hi, I'm Owen! I've been around dogs my whole life, and walking them is genuinely my favorite part of the day. I also volunteer walking dogs at the Cache Humane Society, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to big and bouncy. I take the job seriously: I show up on time, follow your instructions exactly, double-check leashes and harnesses, and keep a close eye on your pup the whole walk. You'll get photos and a quick update every time, so you're never left wondering. Your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I'm a student taking mostly online classes, so I'm home for most of the day and can easily work walks, feedings and potty breaks around my schedule. I'm flexible on weekdays and generally available on weekends too. I'll keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I'm home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I follow your feeding, walking and medication instructions exactly, keep dogs on-leash outside, and send photo updates every day. I'll make sure doors and gates stay closed, and I know where the nearest emergency vet is. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll keep it clean and secure.
About: I can make home made treats and medicine for dogs. I can perform CPR on a dog and a cat. If necessary, i know how to restain both dogs and cats. I was a veterinary technician in training so i know the basics of handling, new born puppies and kittens, older dogs and cats, or female dogs in heat. If you have a pregnant female, i know how to help in complicated births. If it's a rescued dog, I know how to be gentle and calm with them. If you recently had a dog in surgery, I will help in any way possible to make sure it doesn't feel too much pain. I can also train dogs to listen to sone commands, not a lot, but I am willing to train and teach them.
“Did a fantastic job with my two girls, who are both a handful on a walk. Particularly my nine month old labrador retriever. It was a huge help to me, and I will definitely be open to book her again!”

“Bailey has been wonderful with my new energetic pup! She has been assisting with reinforcing his puppy training as well as walks and play time. Communication has been great, and we look forward to her visits!”
“Catsie clearly loves dogs and focuses on their behaviors and needs. She handled my greyhound very well, and even gave some suggestions based on her observations on the walk. She's great, I would recommend her!”

About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. When I was very young we had a Yorkie named Rex. And for the last 11 years we have had an energetic yellow lab named penny. We trained her ourselves and now she is very well behaved. I love dogs and am great with them. I love to play them just as much as they do! I currently work part time most days of the week but have a fairly free schedule since my shifts aren’t that long. I go to sleep late and wake up early so my days are open! I live in a house with a fenced yard big enough for a dog to play fetch in. My roommates love animals too so all pets will be welcomed. I am willing to stay at anyone’s home and will be respectful of any house rules that are set.

About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, a boxer/dane mix, 1 cat, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.
About: I grew up with 3 border collies in my home, so I’ve been helping with pet care for as long as I can remember. My husband and I adopted Penny, our sweet Australian Shepherd, two years ago and we have loved every second. I have never met a dog I didn’t love. I have often been told I have a knack for comforting anxious dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible during work hours. I often take my dog on a walk before work and in the evening after work. I’m flexible to leave work as needed and take dogs out as often as needed. I have a friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to play to keep your dog(s) company. My fur baby no longer uses her crate, so we have a crate that can be used for your dog when they visit if they like it. My husband is home in the evening after work to help with pet care.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was six years old. I’ve always loved dogs. I treat them like I would treat a child. I try and make sure they have everything they need to be successful. I have 2 dogs of my own and I love them to pieces I work for instacart so I can plan my schedule to work for you and your pups! I typically do some side gigs after work but can move things around to ensure the pups are getting the most love and attention possible! I have a big field right behind my apartment where the pups can go potty. My apartment is puppy proof and is safe for all dogs.
About: I have always loved animals, I’ve pet sit for family and friends for years! Pets are family and I treat them with the best care During the work week I am able to go watch your pet around my work schedule, on weekends I am able to board as well. I have space and a large shared space for boarding. I also live close to several parks for walks. I have a lot of experience house/pet sitting as well. I’m currently in a space where I have a lot of free time and can spend extra time and care with your fur babies, I take a single client at a time so your pet will have all of the attention. I go out of my way to make sure they are feeling good and comfortable, and are having fun It’s truly important to make sure the fur baby is as comfortable as possible, giving attention, playing, petting. And it is truly all about how the specific dog or cat likes to be handled. I like to be respectful of their boundaries
About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a kid. I love providing that extra care pets need when life gets too busy. :) I am currently working from home so I am very flexible. My work is also very passive so I have plenty of time to provide undivided attention to your pet! I prefer to set up a meeting prior to care if at all possible to make sure your pet is comfortable. I am also very good at following detailed care instructions for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in River Heights is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $18 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 374 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across River 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 River 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 River 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 River Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
