“Mikayla was the sweetest walker! She was eager to meet my Koko and she showed up each time promptly and with treats! Koko loves going on their walks together! We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I believe every animal deserves care that matches their unique personality and needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention to senior pets who require a gentler touch. As a Sphynx cat owner, I'm also familiar with the extra grooming, upkeep, and attention that higher-maintenance pets require. I'm especially patient with anxious, shy, or high-energy animals and understand that building trust takes time. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a little extra patience, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide it. My goal is to make every animal feel like they're spending time with a friend rather than just a sitter. After all, winning over a pet is one of my favorite accomplishments! 🐾❤️ My schedule is currently very flexible and open to accommodate different pet care needs. I'm happy to work around your pet's routine, whether that means daily visits, regular walks, overnight stays, or occasional care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to be reliable, accommodating, and available when you need an extra set of hands (and lots of love)! 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I enjoy keeping pets active and entertained with walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also have access to a relatively private dog park, which is great for some outdoor fun, exercise, and exploring in a less crowded environment (with owner approval, of course!). I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and boundaries so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Whether your pet is an energetic social butterfly or a couch-loving homebody, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care! 🐾
“Chelsea is so great! We use her at least once a week (usually more) to walk our pup while we’re at work! She always sends multiple photos and updates after she is done walking! She is quick to respond so booking is always easy and flexible! Our dog has a lot of puppy energy and Chelsea is great with helping wear her out! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”
“Whitney is a great dog walker and a great person. She is amiable, kind, and considerate. My dog is quite shy and Whitney made her feel comfortable, so I appreciate her and wish her to walk my dog. She is one of the best walkers out there.”
“I don’t trust just anyone with my dog, she’s a rescue with a history of abuse and she’s sensitive. Olivia made Piper feel like they were best friends and piper was always happy to have Olivia come over and spend time with her. Olivia always made sure to send lots of updates and pictures and tidied up any messes Piper made. Olivia is truly the best and any dog would be lucky to have her walk them or check in on them”
“Mary stayed overnight at our home with our pup for two nights. She was fantastic with Selina, who can be a little aloof with new sitters. Selina seemed happy when we came home, and obviously was given lots of attention. The home was also in great condition. We can’t wait to book with Mary again!”
“Emily walked our older dog while we were away. She always sent photos and seemed to pay very close attention to him. Would definitely recommend Emily!”
“I am so pleased to have Katie walking my energetic chocolate Labrador! One of the things I appreciate most is her punctuality and reliability. She has only been walking my dog for a couple of weeks, but it already feels like she’s been part of our routine forever. Katie is caring, dependable, and clearly loves what she does. I am so happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker! 🐾”
“Sydney was great today! I asked for a rather last minute booking due to an ankle injury and her response was prompt. Sydney was very professional, arrived at the appointment on-time, and was very good at handling Mochi.”
“Fantastic walker. His flexible schedule has made it much easier for scheduling. He even worked on training my dog! He definitely goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend him for your dog walking services!!”
About: I've been a dog owner my whole life - over 50 years, all rescues in one way or another! I’m a reliable and calm pet sitter offering walks, drop-ins, and overnight care in the area. I’m especially great with: • Older dogs • Anxious or shy pets • Pets who do best with a steady, gentle approach I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I take that seriously - showing up on time, communicating clearly, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for daytime, evenings, and weekends- including last-minute needs when I can. Whether you need a quick walk, regular drop-ins, or someone to stay with your pet while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I have a part-time flexible job, but am looking to make pet-sitting my fulltime gig! I can be there for your pet when you need me! I respect your privacy and will only enter rooms necessary for the care of your pet. I appreciate leashes, harnesses, poop bags, treats and other items they need to be easily accessible and in plain sight.
About: Hey howdy! My name is Delaney and I am a master's student and ballroom dancer here in Houston! I have loved taking care of animals ever since my family welcomed our senior cat into our home when I was 14 years old. She had spent two months in the forest on her own before making her way to my front porch, and the rest is history. I can't wait to meet and take care of your furry friends - they're my favorite study buddies! I am most routinely available on Friday nights and weekends. My schedule throughout the week fluctuates based on my clinical assignments, course schedule, and extracurricular activity meetings. If you are in need of services on weekdays I am happy to discuss them on a case by case basis! I take great care to ensure the spaces and homes I am welcomed into are well kept and that I care for the spaces of clients as if it were my own! My goal is to maintain your pets feeling of safety and security within their home environment. I prefer to have a walkthrough of the space as well before the first at-home sit but understand that this may not always be feasible. Along with information about your pet, it is also helpful to know if there are any off-limits areas in your home or potential safety hazards, so please let me know about these as well! Please also provide me with emergency contact information for you, or your veterinarian should it be needed.
About: I have taken care of pets for over 9 years, including puppies, adult/senior dogs as well as cats. I’m trustworthy and genuinely care for animals! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I am available any day of the week, and willing to adjust my schedule as needed I have a friendly small dog. I live just a few minutes away from a doggy park and walking distance away from a safe neighborhood for extra walking space.
“Jacquelyn is amazing - George ran right to her when we first met and it’s been love ever since!! She’s been so lovely and so flexible when our work schedules and trips changes, and I trust her fully with our fur baby!”
“Deanna took great care of my foster pup while I was out and about. She accommodated an overnight stay last minute, which really helped me out. I will continue to book with her ??”
“Alex is amazing! My dog is really good at reading people's energy and I could tell right away that he loves her. She encouraged him to do his walks but also listened to his cues when he was done. Would Def use her again”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Southside Place is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southside Place
This was my first time booking a dog walker, so I was a little hesitant at first, but I will definitely be booking Ynes again! She followed all of my instructions, made sure Rocko went potty and ate, and kept me reassured that he was in great hands while I was at work. I truly appreciate her care and attentiveness. Highly recommend!
Here is a short, sweet review you can use: Liana was wonderful! She is super responsible, highly responsive, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. I’ll definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!
Angelica has been such a huge help, and both of our dogs love her! It can be hard to find someone you trust with your pets, but it’s clear that she truly cares about them. She’s always quick to reply and sends great photo updates of the dogs at home and on walks.. Both of our dogs can be a little tricky, but that has never fazed her, she handles them with patience and care. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her!
Dani is amazing! She was able to jump in at the last minute and walk our senior foster dog Ivy for ten days, twice a day, while my partner was out of town. She was super careful with our pup in the Houston daytime summer heat, and worked with Ivy on good leash manners — she was a different dog by the end of Dani’s time with her! Dani was punctual, communicative, knowledgeable and clearly cared SO much about her families and her wards. I know our sweet girl was in the best possible hands with Dani and I will hire her again in a heartbeat. If you get Dani, you are extremely lucky!! She is the best!!! 💖💖
Patricia has been an incredible walker for my high-energy pup, Kobe. She communicates clearly and consistently, and she’s always willing to adjust to my schedule when things shift around. During this brutal heat, she makes a point of keeping Kobe hydrated and well cared for on every walk. I also love that she mixes up his routes instead of doing the same loop every day. It keeps him engaged and burns off all that energy. I trust her completely with Kobe and highly recommend her.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Southside Place is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Southside Place. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Southside Place after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Southside Place. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
