I wanted to reach out and thank Abby for being so diligent about keeping us updated whenever her schedule changes. We truly appreciate her communication and the care she provides. We are entrusting both of our dogs to Abby's care. One of them is particularly sensitive due to his age and general nature. I have been genuinely worried about his well-being. We would not trust just anyone with our pets. We have a great deal of confidence in Abby and feel very comfortable having them in her care.

About: I am passionate about providing excellent pet care and ensuring that every animal feels safe, healthy, and loved. I have experience caring for pets by feeding them, maintaining clean living spaces, providing exercise, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique needs, making their comfort and well-being my top priority. Whether caring for dogs, cats, or other animals, I am dedicated to creating a positive and nurturing environment for every pet in my care! I am currently home full time so I am always available if you need me for your pet care needs! Even if there might be some time adjustments I will always find a way to take care of your fur babies! In my home they will get tons of walks and play time and have very comfortable spots to nap! I do not currently have a fenced in yard but will hopefully have one soon. In others homes I will do my absolute best to love and care for your fur babies! I will make sure all instructions are followed exactly as written and that they will get all the attention!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises

Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.

Sabrina did two drop in visits/ walks for us while we were at work. She seemed like she bonded with Belle very well and Belle loved her. She got to give our pup the hour of a potty break and attention she needed when we couldn’t be there and we greatly appreciated that. We look forward to working with Sabrina again.

About: Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile. About me: I’m currently a stay-at-home mom who chose not to go back to a full time marketing position. My love for animals and staying active has led me to Rover. I enjoy the gentleness of kitties, (especially those that like to play), and love to go on long walks with dogs. I am extremely cautious with my clients babies and care for them as I would my own. I always try to teach basic leash manners, and with time and practice, I can turn a dog who is all over the place to a steady, confident, well-mannered dog. I believe in treat/reward training and positive reinforcement is the key to earning their respect. I’ve raised dogs and cats all of my adult life. From kittens, puppies, Pekingese, Pugs, to 95 pound Boxers, you name it, and I’ve probably raised it! I’m an active individual, so I love to be “out and about” and enjoy walks - I can do it all while you are away. If you need help with puppy training, or a kitten house check while you’re at work, I will make sure their needs are met and provide companionship. Aside from animals, I love gardening and decorating my home, so I have many projects on my hands to keep me busy through the day. I have a wonderful husband and a 7-year-old who fills my weekends with joy! If you need housesitting, (watering plants, etc.), while you’re away, I will help and will not charge any fees. You can consider me your “house sitter” the next time you go away! I am available pretty much all day and into the evening hours. My days are routine and structured, so I would take the same approach with your pets. Unfortunately, I cannot sit overnight. Making sure your pets have their needs met is my first priority. This includes feeding, walking, and companionship to keep them happy when you’re not around.

My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and right at home.

About: I grew up with animals ranging from cats all the way up to horses. I grew up with jack russell terriers, so dogs with a little extra “personality” do not bother me! I love dogs of all sizes and have a very good understanding of dog behavior, body language, and overall knowledge. I am CPR certified for animals as well! I am newly married to the love of my life, but unfortunately I have been battling some ongoing health problems and had to quit my full time job at a local dog daycare/boarding facility, and it broke my heart. This allows me to help my husband with our bills, focus on my health and doctor’s appointments, but I still get to work with animals which has always been my passion. Whatever needs your pet requires, they will each be met. Each pet’s care will be personally tailored to their specific needs, personality, and their wants.

About: This is mine (Katy Snipes) and my husbands (Chad) account. We have had dogs and cats our whole life. We are comfortable with basic training and commands and love the old timers who need a little more TLC. We can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I (Katy) am currently a stay at home mom with my sweet first born son. I am very flexible during the week and would love to get on some walks with your pets. My husband offers available hands week day evenings as well as weekends. We have a fenced in back yard that our beagle loves to run around and play in. He is a spitfire when the energy is high, but can also lounge around the house when he knows it’s time to chill. We have a crate available if that is needed. However, our house is very pet friendly and open for your pet to make themselves at home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and have had my own dog since I was seven years old. At fourteen, I independently raised and trained a puppy, taking full responsibility for daily walks, feeding, bathroom schedules, basic training, playtime, and overall care. Through that experience, I learned patience, consistency, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe, exercised, and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days and times throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or check-ins depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and energy levels to make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks or potty breaks, give them attention and playtime, and make sure the home stays clean and secure while the owner is away. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and energy levels so I can adjust care to their needs, whether they’re very active, anxious, or more relaxed. Because I’ve raised and trained a puppy myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interaction. I’m comfortable with walks, basic reinforcement training, crate routines, cleaning up accidents if needed, and making sure pets get both exercise and affection throughout the day.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about eleven years old. Growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and my love for animals led me to start volunteering at a local shelter when I was young. What began as a childhood dream quickly turned into a lifelong passion. Through years of volunteering and hands-on experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. Spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is something that truly brings me joy. My passion for animal care has only grown stronger over the years, and I would love the opportunity to share that dedication with you by helping care for your pets and making sure they’re happy while you’re away ☺️🐾 I’m currently in nursing school and pet sitting through Rover full-time. Since most of my studying is done from home, I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. It’s the perfect balance for me—I get to focus on my studies while also caring for and snuggling with the amazing pets I’m trusted to watch. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!! 🥰 I have several years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, and volunteering at animal shelters, along with caring for pets of my own. These experiences have taught me how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I maintain a consistent routine and stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment so that your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for at all times!! 🐾💕

FAQs for Dog Walking - Startex

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Startex on Rover is $16.65 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 1,453 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Startex. 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 Startex. 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 Startex.

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 Startex. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
