“Emily is kind and very loving to my dog Parker. She asked good questions during the initial meet-and-greet and followed the walking map I provided perfectly. I make Parker’s food weekly, and she followed those directions well, too. I would recommend her.”
“Thank you for fitting us in for a week worth of daily walks at the last minute. I appreciate your good communications and punctuality. Brice enjoyed her walks with you this week. We will definitely book with you in the future!! Highly recommended...”
“Lexy goes above and beyond! She took my pup for walks and made sure to play with her and get her settled before leaving. Would recommend and hope to have her again!”
“Suzanne was so helpful with my dog Meech while I was recovering from an injury and unable to walk him. She was quick and professional and had no issues handling some of his reactivity on the leash. Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
“Jessica is an amazing dog walker. My Saint Bernard Theodore loves her and is always excited to go for walks with her. She’s a true dog lover and I’m so grateful for her.”
“Thank you for helping us with a last-minute booking! You were so sweet with our fur babies, and we really appreciated your care and flexibility. Happily book again!”
“Heather is the absolute BEST! What was supposed to just be a one time weekend sit ended up becoming a regular walking schedule because I just loved her calming presence and way with my puppy! She also took on my booking request which was not the standard booking due to my dog being new to me and not having a schedule yet with her, but Heather was so understanding and worked with my puppy and her needs! If you need someone trustworthy and dependable Heather is the go to person for sure!”
“Wonderful experience! My dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly enjoyed the walks. Communication was great and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my pet. Definitely plan to continue her service. Highly recommend!”
“Marisol was great. My dog was in great spirits when I got home from work which means I know he had fun with Marisol. She was great with quick communication. She came recommended to a friend and I would like to recommend her to others!”
“Madison is top tier from all aspects!! I was nervous to leave my pup for her first alone day & Madison made me feel at ease by giving her some mid day love, sending me photos of my baby, and giving a report! We appreciate her and recommend her 10/10!!!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. I do work a full time job but everyone’s hours are getting cut so I decided to give this a shot. I try to be as flexible as possible and work around my job. I live in a house with a decent sized fenced in back yard. I do have 3 cats and 2 dogs but my animals can be easily separated from yours if needed or put in a kennel.
About: I’ve had lots dogs growing up 5 at one time and worked on a farm with many animals and a pack of dogs I have a working dog myself currently that I love and take care of. I play college beach volleyball I usually train early in the morning but am available whenever I have a very flexible schedule to be needed whenever. I have a working dog and then a sweet pit mix I walk them daily and run my working dog on the regular 3 miles or more. I’ll play with them outside and give pets and cuddles. As well as I have my own cat Rio who I love and adore and make sure he gets attention as well

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Oaks
Had a really good experience with this pet walker! Super reliable and easy to communicate with. You can tell they actually care about the pets, which made me feel way more comfortable. I loved getting little updates and pics after the walks too. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pet!
Suzanne came through tonight and walked my dog when I was called away for an emergency! I appreciate their communication and response time with a request that only left a couple hours until booked appt time. Bonus points that he’s been helped by them before so I didn’t have to contact a complete stranger. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in River Oaks on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,302 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across River Oaks. 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 River Oaks. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in River Oaks.

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 Oaks. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
