About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine life without them - my two Great Danes and a Doberman even have their own room at home. I’m experienced in rare conditions and healthcare, administering of medication, senior and puppy care. I’m currently as of 9/17 not working and no commitments. I’m available to come just about any time of day. Feeding, walks, outside play time, it’s a 24 hour operation and I don’t restrict myself to take care of animals. If I’m coming to spend time with your pets, I’m coming to spend time with your pets. I’ll bring treats if permitted and I’m used to special needs diets and restrictions so my time is your time when I’m with your baby. I’m a huge fan of communication and updates.

About: I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up around all kinds of dogs and cats, including Rhodesian Ridgebacks, small dogs, and everything in between. I have a German Shepherd named Kenya, plus cats and kittens, so taking care of animals is something I’m used to. My schedule is pretty open, so I have some flexibility with availability. I’m not the type to rush in and out. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my German Shepherd, Kenya, along with my cats and kittens, so I’m used to daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning, and giving each animal plenty of attention. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.I keep up with their usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest schedule while giving them plenty of attention along the way. I also pay attention to the little things—how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what they’re used to at home. Most importantly, I respect the pet parent’s instructions and treat every animal as an individual.

About: Hello! My name is Fiona, and I’m a huge animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and many other pets. I currently have two dogs and a hamster of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I also have a medically complex pup with IVDD, along with experience caring for several French Bulldogs, so I’m very familiar with administering extra care, monitoring health concerns, and handling high-maintenance breeds. My boyfriend and I take our dogs on multiple walks every day, so I understand how important exercise, enrichment, and routine are for our furry family members — even when life gets busy. I’ve also personally worked through training programs with both of my dogs, so I’m comfortable handling energetic pups and reinforcing good behaviors during our time together. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I’m currently a part-time barista while attending college, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I open from 6 AM- 2 PM Friday-Sunday and 2 PM- 8 PM on Monday but other than that I am completely free. During walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, cared for, and safe while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of positive attention. I’m also comfortable working with energetic dogs and reinforcing basic training during walks when needed. For drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, water refills, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines if needed, and companionship so pets don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. I always treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi, I'm Austin - a Houston dog walker in Montrose with 18 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I've cared for dogs my entire life - my own, family dogs, and dogs for friends and neighbors - including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving oral medication on schedule. I'm comfortable with small dogs, large dogs over 100 lbs, strong pullers, shy dogs who need time to warm up, and seniors who need gentle handling and a consistent routine. I serve Montrose and nearby neighborhoods - Midtown, River Oaks, Upper Kirby, Rice Military, Museum District, and Downtown - Thursday through Monday. When you book me, you get the same routine every time: I follow your instructions exactly, keep your dog on your normal feeding and walk schedule, refresh food and water, clean up any messes, and send photo updates during every walk or visit so you can see how they're doing. If I notice anything different in their behavior, appetite, or energy, I'll let you know right away. I'm background-checked, I treat your home with respect, and I treat your dog like my own. Every visit includes the little things: packages and mail brought inside, paws wiped and towel-dried after rain, fresh water (with ice on hot Houston days), and your home left exactly as I found it. On multi-day drop-ins I'm also happy to water plants and alternate lights so the house looks lived-in. In summer I check pavement heat before we walk, stick to shade, and offer water every 15 minutes. I'm based in Houston Thursday through Monday and available for morning, midday, and evening walks and drop-ins on those days. I update my calendar daily - if a date shows available, I am available - and I usually reply within 15 minutes. I enjoy spending time with dogs through walks, playtime, and feeding, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I follow your routine and written instructions exactly - feeding amounts and times, walk route and duration, medication schedule, and house rules. On walks I keep dogs leashed at all times, avoid close contact with unfamiliar dogs unless you say it's okay, and carry water and waste bags. On drop-ins I do a full check: fresh water, food as instructed, potty break, playtime, a quick check that doors are locked when I leave, and a photo update before I go. I monitor for changes in behavior, appetite, or mobility, especially with senior dogs, and I'll contact you immediately if anything seems off.

About: My name is Hannah! I am currently a medical student in the TMC, but I love caring for dogs in my spare time! I have 15+ years of experience dog sitting and caring for my own pup; I started this role as a dog walker a few years ago because I love spending time with animals and also love being active and getting outside! I am great with dogs of all sizes and always go above and beyond with my walks, making sure the house is secure, water bowl is filled, and leash put away properly. Would love to connect if you are looking for a reliable & responsible sitter for your dog! I am currently a medical student so my schedule varies, but I also have added flexibility with my class schedule during the week and am available most weekends. I do not currently offer boarding at my own home, but on walks, I make sure to stay alert of my surroundings to prevent any safety issues. I always double check before I leave that items are safely put away and door is locked.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including energetic dogs and those who need a little extra patience. 🐶 I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I went to school to be a veterinarian so it is something I truly love.💕 I also have a car, so I’m flexible and able to travel, and I’m great with following specific care instructions and routines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I keep a very flexible schedule so I can be available when pet parents need me most. I’m open for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as weekends. Since I plan my days around bookings (and this is my only job), I’m able to give pets consistent attention and not rush through visits or walks. I also try to be accommodating with last-minute requests whenever possible. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive during walks and visits, making sure pets are secure, hydrated, and never put in unsafe situations. I also keep spaces clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. (exactly what I would want for my own pet!) I believe communication is important, so I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is in the best hands!

Eye can keep your baby in a separate room if your animals/insects/plants don’t get along with other animals/insects/plants. It’s required that we do a meet and greet first to see how they get along. For drop ins, if your babies take longer to eat and need to be supervised while they are eating (so they don’t eat each other’s food/meds), please book an hour long drop in.

Eye frequently update the owner with lots of photos and videos. Eye keep track of when your babies pee, poop, eat, sleep and play. Eye always clean up thoroughly when eye’m done so it looks like eye was never there 😉.

About: I have been the sole caretaker of my own dog, cats, & bunnies for over a decade now! Many friends & family members have always relied on me to care for their furry loved ones as well. I can watch, feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pet. I love animals and would love to take care of yours. I am working a very flexible part time job right now, so I am most always available in the evenings but can also adjust my schedule for mornings or afternoon if that works best for you. Taking care of your pets is such a joy to me! Beyond giving an animal its basic needs like dinner and potty time, I also love to give someone's pet as much attention or space that makes for a comfortable environment for it while their owner is away. I want your pet to feel safe and cared for under my care!

About: I rescued my pittie off the road 4 years ago. She was pregnant. Helped bring in her babies and now she’s my shadow and attached at the hip! Since rescuing her, I’ve studied training and worked on her dog aggression which we’ve made tremendous progress on. Shes truly my world and I take her everywhere I can! Since losing my corporate job, I am really flexible at this time to drop in and assist with pet care, whether that be dog walking or drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard in a gated community. My routine includes at least 2 walks a day, tons of play time & training indoors.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sunny Side

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sunny Side is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 5,966 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sunny Side. 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 Sunny Side. 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 Sunny Side 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 Sunny Side. 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.
