“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 have helped my family take care of animals since I was twelve years old. We foster animals through the Humane Society of North Texas and have helped numerous animals recover, grow, and get adopted. I have fostered with my family for close to nine years now, which includes experience with bottle babies (kittens and puppies), full grown dogs and cats, and even a pregnant guinea pig. I have taken care of neighbor's pets before and my family's dogs as well. I am a college student off for summer break and have plenty of extra time to look after precious animals! I will be available to provide care for any pet(s). I will stick to whatever routine you have set for your animal(s). Whether they are indoor/outdoor or need to be crated and let out occasionally, I am flexible. I am also comfortable with animals of any size, and I have dealt with a lot of dogs with varying temperaments.

“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!”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 5,346 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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.
