“Hana helped out at short notice and it was very easy to arrange Baloo’s walking schedule. Communication was good and we will definitely use again. Highly recommend!”
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.
“I’m so thankful to have had Amber step in and help me. I had a busy weekend at work and couldn’t have done it without her! My sitter cancelled last minute and Amber was able to schedule a meet and greet with us within the next day! This helped to reduce all anxiety as I could see that Tucker loved her already. The pictures and updates were awesome. She was so kind and definitely a blessing! Glad to find someone I can trust!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾💓 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day since it’s currently summer. After summer, I will be Busy Mon-Fri Mornings, but will be able to work in the afternoons. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have a fully fenced backyard & front yard that can be split. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own. 🐶🐱💗
“Emily was a life-saver. I had to leave town rather quickly for 5 days and have two dogs. She was willing to take them 3 times a day for the 5 days and kept them fed and treated! She sent me picture updates and texted to let me know they were doing well, which I greatly appreciated. I could tell when I got back that, while they missed me, they had fun while I was gone. ”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾
“Dalya was WONDERFUL! Our baby Katie was happy to see her each day, as Dalya treated her as kindly and gracefully as we would. We can’t wait to book 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 around dogs since I was little and owned several of my own as an adult. I have experience taking care of small and large dogs and a variety of breeds! I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, so during the week I am only available after 5pm. On the weekends, I have full availability to care for your fur babies! I will be sure to follow any guidelines or requests that you have to ensure your fur baby is well cared for and to be sure that you feel comfortable with them in my care.
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!
About: I am patient and very loving towards animals. They always warm up to me very soon once they see me, if not immediately. I give lots of attention and make sure they are well taken care of. I can provide lots of love and companionship to put them at ease while you're gone. I do well with dogs who have separation anxiety. I am great at caring for senior pets. I care about your pets quality of life. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I work Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays from 9:30am - 5pm. I can make two stops for potty breaks in that time, if needed. When not working at my job, I can be there with them as much as you need me to be. I’m good with sticking to schedules and routines and I am very good at communicating with you throughout my stay so you know how they’re doing. I always send pictures and an update at least once or twice a day, but can adjust that if you request.
About: Hi! Those who know me best know how passionate I am about animals. I’m proud to have spent over 13 hours volunteering at the humane society. Count on me to cherish your pets as dearly as you do! A college graduate, currently working part time and living at home with my folks. Applying to graduate programs and planning for my future! Hit me up! I have a friendly cat and an aquarium at home. My dog recently passed away at 15 years old. I’m responsible for all the duties of care for my pets. I regularly search the internet for facts and strategies that can help me maximize my pets happiness, health and longevity.
About: As far as I can remember, I have always had pets. Dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, squirrels and the list goes on. I enjoy being with animals, they give me a sense of peace and well-being that I cannot find anywhere else. They ARE the best stress releaser. I have raised 2 litters of puppies and taken care of a few older furr babies. (They take a little more patience because they cannot get around like they used to) I do have a full-time job, but I can set my hours as needed. I am able to come home throughout the day and am home evenings and weekends. I have walking trails and a couple of parks that we can spend time together enjoying the outdoors. I share a home with my daughter and four-year-old granddaughter. Fur babies must be kid-friendly if staying the night. I have a fenced back yard. I do have a crate, if that is what you do when you are gone. I, also, am fine with them sleeping with me or near me if that is what you prefer.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 5,483 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
- 97% 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.
