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.
“I was in a bind a needed someone to walk my dog while we were out of town. Joshua was amazing. He always showed up on time and took great care of my dog. He even gave her medication! Thank you joshua, we will be using him again soon!”
“Sierra took great care of my two Shibas and kitty while I was gone for the weekend! She had excellent communication throughout, and I felt very comfortable knowing she was there for the puppers and my kitty!”
About: I have been a dog owner for years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I have also fostered dogs and have experience taking dogs on walks. I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I treat every dog like my own and always do my best to make them feel happy and at home. I enjoy caring for dogs and can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m flexible with their schedules and committed to keeping them safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe and loving home with a big yard for dogs to play and get exercise. I give them plenty of attention, care, and love like they’re my own
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner and animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was five years old. Animals have always been part of my family, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and respect to every pet I work with. I currently care for a senior dog, which has given me hands‑on experience with medication routines, mobility awareness, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand how important consistency and gentle care are especially for senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will not be left unattended and will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours! My Schedule & Availability The best part about booking with me? I’m home all day, every day. Your dog won’t be left alone waiting for someone to check in — they’ll have my full attention from morning to night. Whether it’s spontaneous playtime, an extra walk around the block, or just some couch cuddle time, I’m always here for it. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the household. My own pets help set a calm, welcoming tone, so most dogs settle in quickly and comfortably. A typical day includes: • Morning and evening walks • Midday play and enrichment time • Plenty of rest in a cozy, pet-friendly space • Regular feeding on your dog’s normal schedule • Daily photo and update messages to you
“Thank you for taking care of my dogs while I was out. They seemed very happy and well fed in my absence. 5 stars. I’d recommend your services to anyone that plans a vacation!”
“First time dog mom and Rover user here, so I was a little nervous about having someone work with my pup. Nadia was wonderful and I will absolutely be requesting her assistance again!”
About: Pets and owners love my free loving and exceptional care I provide to every animal that I care for, whether it's a drop in, walk, or boarding, I'm dedicated to your pet's welfare and happiness. I reside in a beautiful apartment, but am able to host small to large dogs, take them on walks, and take them on adventures to the play area across the street, I’m also conveniently located near the Buffalo bayou dog park! I have more than 30 years of experience caring for dog, cats, and exotic animals. I also have experience in providing care for senior and special needs pets. My availability is flexible and I can usually work around times that are best to accommodate your busy life schedule, if something is to come up and plans change; I am more than happy to work with you on a refund or extended stays. Being a pet parent myself, taking care of pets naturally fit into my schedule especially since I work from home. Unless your pet requires their food at specific times, they will follow the same schedule feeding and care (which is always in plenty) with my own pet. I have no problem crating your animal if there are used to having their own safe space. I also have a wonderfully sunny balcony that they are welcomed to hang out on under supervision. If spending the night, they are welcome to sleep in the room so they aren’t lonely!
“Paola is an incredible dog sitter! She took my pup to walk around the park daily and Draco had a great time! She had excellent communication skills, always made sure Draco was fed and had water, and sent me daily pics of their time together. I highly recommend Paola for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I love being around animals and truly believe dogs make the best companions because of the unconditional love, emotional support, and endless cuddles they give. My first family dog was a German Shepherd, and growing up, neighbors with larger dogs would often ask me to help walk and care for them while they were away. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and needs. In 2020, I brought home my dream dog, Mochi, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves to play and cuddle. Later, I rescued Gigi, a Dachshund-Pomeranian mix, and eventually added another corgi named Boba to the family. I absolutely love my little dog tribe! When I care for someone else’s pet, I treat them just like I would my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while their family is away. I’m always happy to help however I can and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I currently work part-time because I am a student taking online courses at home. I have a very flexible schedule and can accompany to you and your pups needs! I am available Monday-Sunday. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs around the neighborhood next to our complex and they also burn energy by going to a park.
“We have used Darius twice with our dog Lyanna. He does very well with our big girl who just loves to pull on walks. He is also very prompt and communicates well! We will continue to use Darius!”
“Brittaney was professional and had a calm and friendly demeanor towards Tidus and my dog felt comfortable with her as soon as he met her. She was accomodating of my requests and she also always came on time. It was a pleasure using her service and I will definitely book her again. Thanks a lot for taking care of Tidus, Brittaney!”
“Anna is great! I trust her with my baby and will even take super late requests. If you cannot be home and need your little one to be taken for a walk, I would pick her over anyone in the area.”
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.
“Jaime has been so helpful coming and walking my dogs during the day! She always leaves a very detailed review of the walk and lets me know how my two dogs are doing. She seems to have no trouble at all handling them both. If you’re looking for someone to watch or walk your dogs, Jaime is great.”
About: **Update: I am fully vaccinated and I will continue to wear my face mask when we meet in person. I thoroughly disinfect areas and wash hands frequently. Greetings! I love all animals, wild and domesticated. I am experienced with all ages of pets. My pet sitting experiences include: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, and other exotics. I can also administer medications orally and via injection. I am experienced with bathing and dressing wounds from post surgery. I cared for injured wildlife and volunteered at a zoo. My last job was as an insect and animal outreach educator with a museum. I love nature and all living things including plants. I am a fun loving down to earth caretaker and connect with all species of animals. Rest assured, your animal companion is in good hands. At this time, I am not offering day care and overnight stays at my house. This might change in the future and I will update my profile accordingly.

Christine has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs. My two pups are always so excited to see her every week, which says everything about how much they enjoy their walks with her. She takes great care of them, even in the Houston heat, and I always know they're in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

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.
