About: I have helped train over 15 service dogs for a college organization. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician at a mixed animal hospital. I raised a service dog for K9s For Warriors using positive reinforcement training. I spent the summer in an internship at the Dallas Zoo in the Carnivores Department. During college, I worked with exotic animals at the Winnie Carter Wildlife Center at Texas A&M. My experience ranges from domestic cats, dogs, and fish, all the way to kangaroos, tigers, and lions. I have an extremely flexible schedule. Currently, I can arrange to take care of animals at any time of day, any day of the week. I am comfortable following your specific routine and/or needs for your pet. We can establish some goals and expectations for what you would like me to do while I am with your pet. I have extensive experience with crate training and positive reinforcement clicker training.

About: I have owned dogs all my life, little ones to large dogs. I enjoy what dogs have to offer us humans and their own unique personalities. I will walk your dog, take them to the dog park or just come and hang out with them so they are not alone all day. I know how some dogs have issues with separation anxiety and I would like to help with that. I want their humans to feel more at ease while their away at work or vacation. Resorts can be stressful for some fur babies. I have experience working in veterinary clinics and pet resorts. I am able to give meds to the pet if needed. I'm available any time during the day and most weekends. If you have questions, please feel free to email me or call! Currently working full time but that doesn’t take away from taking care of your fur babies. I am able to drop in visits or in house sitting. I would prefer staying at the clients home. It is less stressful on the pet. I have a full house so may be uncomfortable for them.

Most of my business (90%) is drop in pet visits while owners are away on vacation, I do however offer limited (meaning 1 client at a time) free roam boarding in my own home unless I step away from the house then they are kenneled for their safety. They are able to exercise and go potty on 3/4 acre pipe fenced/no climb yard.

I can care for your pet inside my home or can travel to the client's home. I have experience administering SQ fluids, oral and topical medications, injections, and bandages. In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc. Petsitting, boarding, and travel grooming services is what I do full time if Im not substituting at the school! They will have frequent potty breaks to eliminate any accients. I have a pipe fence with no climb on 3/4 acre of land for them to roam and play when supervised.

About: I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, that’s why I prioritize safety, communication, and routine. I provide clear updates, quick responses, and dependable care every time. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, and I take the time to understand each dog individually. My focus is creating a calm, positive experience so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Part-time healthcare worker, available weekdays and some weekends! Willing to do drop ins, walks when available, and potentially overnight care. I am structured but flexible, and I only take a limited number of pets at a time to provide focused care. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I stick closely to their routine to minimize stress and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether that’s structured walks for a high energy dog or quiet company for a shy cat, I adjust to what they need. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication are always a priority to me

About: I got my first dog 5 years ago and have cared for and enjoyed him ever since. My family has also raised doodle puppies out of our home for a few years now. I've been woken up in the middle of the night, cleaned up messes, searched for dogs that ran away and been on countless dog walks. I love dogs but we've also had cats, bunnies and turtles. I promise you, your pets will love hanging out with me while you are on a trip or at work! I am currently living in Texas with my family until August when I return to school. My schedule is very open, I'm not working currently and I'll do my best to help you out! I can walk your dog as often as you need or run them until all their puppy energy is used up! I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!

About: Aside from growing up with dogs in the house, I am an experienced dog owner and U.S. Navy veteran with a strong understanding of structure, reliability, and attentive care. I own a Belgian Malinois, so I’m especially comfortable handling high-energy and working breeds that need exercise, consistency, and engagement. I provide a safe, active, and calm environment with plenty of walks, playtime, and personalized attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a Belgian Malinois owner. My days are structured around exercise, walks, playtime, training, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and engaged. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs and giving them consistent attention. Caring for dogs naturally fits into my schedule and lifestyle especially during the summer months while not in school. -When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and maintaining a familiar environment to reduce stress. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. -When on walks, I prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort while keeping walks controlled and enjoyable. I avoid unsafe situations, stay aware of surroundings, and make sure dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while feeling secure and cared for.

Katherine is fantastic! I reached out to her last minute hoping she could walk my corgi and Aussie the following day while I was at work. She was able to accommodate both of their walking styles and sent pictures and updates throughout the walk. She has a great personality and is an outstanding communicator. I will most definitely use her again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Runaway Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 328 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Runaway Bay. 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 Runaway Bay. 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 Runaway Bay.

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 Runaway Bay. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
