“Nicole is a GEM! We feel so lucky to have found her! My wife and I needed someone to let out our two dogs for a potty break and walk our 6 month old Pittie Mix, Theo, at lunch time while we were at work. Right when I met Nicole, I could tell she was warm, kind, genuine, and would take great care of our pups. It can be difficult to find reliable and dependable people, but we could always count on Nicole. She showed up within the timeframe that we asked and kept us updated on how the walks went! I HIGHLY recommend using Nicole!”

“This was the first time we’ve ever hired someone to walk our dog. Kimberlee was an absolute professional and was amazing with Poppy during our meet n greet. So amazing in fact that I had not one worry about our pup’s care while I was away. I’ve already hired her for a second round—she’s terrific and I am grateful!”

About: From a young age, I have always babysat pets for family and family friends! I expanded this experience in college to babysitting pets on a more professional level. I currently have three dogs of my own who I love and adore. I understand not being able to trust just anyone with your babies so please rest assured, I will adhere to every wish you make. I currently work full time 7am-4pm M-F so care for me fits in best during the evenings or I’m totally available on weekends to give my full undivided attention! Sticking to routines is the most important thing to any pet parent. I have experience administering medications, adhering to strict diets, as well as crate training routines. I also have experience with reactive dogs and know the importance of following their guidelines to extreme precision.

About: I grew up with dogs from a very young age and have two dogs of my own. I have experience taking care of senior dogs, administering medication, and creating a comfortable environment for each pet based on their individual needs. I work pretty standard hours during the day and enhanced flexibility, so if you have odd hours or are running late, I'm more than happy to run over and take care of your pets needs! While I don't offer pets to stay in my apartment, I take care to assess each pets specific needs in their environment and find ways to address those needs. I have had several thorough background checks as part of my job and will be sure to respect and secure your space upon arrival and departure.

About: I have taken care of mainly cats and dogs for my neighbors and friends for at least 10 years. Ranging from staying in their homes to dropping in to check in, let them out, feed, etc. My week day schedule varies, so I’m interested in working around that. As for weekends I am typically flexible and open to any requests someone needs. Any rules, wants, or needs that you have for your dog I will work with you to make sure that I complete them as desired. I will have open communication with you so that you feel safe with your animal in my care.

Paola is such a sweet person and did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs! I am always nervous to leave them when I go out of town, so it was a relief to find someone who I trusted to care for them. She’s very communicative and responsive, and she pays close attention to the pups and their needs. She also sends lots of photos and videos back so I was able to see my pups while I was away. I would highly recommend Paola, and I will definitely be hiring her again.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Southwest dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Southwest.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
