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. Taking care of pets is already a natural part of my everyday life. I have 5 pets of my own, so I’m used to making time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and don’t see pet care as a chore. I’m happy to work their routine into my day and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I like to learn their personality and what makes them comfortable so I can give them the care and attention they’re used to. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they have plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of love.
“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: I have experience with both dogs and cats that spans over 10 years! Currently I have two cats of my own, one of which has special needs. Also a little senior hedgehog! I have experience with dogs/cats of all sizes and endless patience for animals who may need special care. I believe strongly that all animals are precious and deserve the best care possible. I am a massage therapist that works Wednesday-Friday 9am-2pm and Saturday 9am-6pm. Sunday-Tuesday my schedule is open! I will always prioritize the animals needs first. I am committed to safely caring for any animal whether that be my own or others. Making sure doors are securely shut, walking into the home calmly and ensuring no animals bolt through the door.
About: I’ve had a dog continuously in my life since before I can remember my first pet was a Chihuahua and his name was puppy. Not very original name! I love volunteering at animal shelters, which is probably why I have three dogs in my house! I recently retired from a crisis Pregnancy Center so I have plenty of free time right now and intend to do activities with all breeds and sizes of pups I do have a fenced yard and two dogs that can play fetch the ball for hours! We love to take walks in the neighborhood where we meet lots of other fur babies.

“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!”
“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!”

“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 had experience caring for dogs since childhood and am currently the proud owner of a lovable Lab mix. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about providing the highest quality care for every pet. I treat each dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available during mornings and evenings on average two weekdays per week, and I have more flexible availability throughout the day on weekends. This allows me to provide quality drop-ins and walks with plenty of attention and care for each pet. I provide pet care services in my clients’ homes to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Care includes feeding and refreshing water, administering medications as needed, engaging playtime and cuddles, and attentive, engaging walks tailored to each pet’s needs and energy level. I always prioritize safety, routine, and personalized care for every pet.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. My mom started a pet sitting business when I was a teenager and I often helped with visits. My first job in high school was in a pet grooming salon where I learned how to bathe and later groom. I paid my way through college as a groomer working at a vet and also an animal behaviorist/trainer. I helped them out in my downtime with training and in the boarding area. I also spend my free time working with animal rescue groups and also photographing cats and dogs. I love animals so much and live with my two senior rescue pets, one of which has diabetes, so I’m no stranger to giving medication. I work a flexible, remote, work from home schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry family members during the times requested. I care for pets in my client’s homes in the manner they request. If they’d prefer their pets crated when I leave, I can do so, I’m also comfortable leaving them out in the house when I leave. I always scan the area to make sure there is nothing they’ve gotten into that can harm them. I am not comfortable leaving pets in the yard when I’m not present unless there is a dog door (and it’s not around a fireworks holiday).
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for dogs and the way they respond to me in return. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, build trust, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m fully available for regular visits and last-minute bookings. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule. At home, my own dog enjoys frequent walks, playtime, and plenty of treats — and I bring that same energy and attention to every pet I look after. Whether I’m providing care in a familiar environment or welcoming a new furry friend into my home, I focus on creating a fun, caring, and reliable experience
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.

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.
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. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾
About: I have cared for cats and dogs since 2017, all the way up until senior years of life and administering medicine with injections, oral, and topical. I’m currently unemployed after leaving a toxic work environment and hoping to care for pets full time as I look for a more permanent position. I can easily cater to your pet’s energy, and utilize a gentle approach in training and redirecting behavior. Also have quite a bit of energy myself, so long walks or long playtime is something I love!
About: I dog sit regularly for family and friends. I take my boyfriend’s dog for walks, play, and take him for trips to the dog park while he is at work. The dog is a 50lb labradoodle, so I have experience with larger dogs. My roommates have a cat who I help take care of too. I have spent my whole life volunteering at animal shelters like the LASPCA, and I have a vast knowledge of dogs, cats, and small pets. I have had pets in each of these categories my whole life, and I would love to help take care of your buddy! I am a law student, so my classes are my priority. I am free weekends, and during the weekdays I have class to work around. I have multiple green spaces at my apartment or near my apartment. I would love to take dogs on walks around LSU’s campus or for a trip to the dog park. I have a spacious apartment with lots of free space for playing. I keep dog toys and supplies at my apartment for animal visits. If you have a cat we have scratching posts, toys, and plenty of supervised playing space. Our home is animal-proofed 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!

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.
