About: With 4 years of personal and professional hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, I have developed a genuine passion for animal well-being. I find joy in being around animals and helping owners experience peace of mind knowing their pets are in loving and capable hands. My expertise spans years of dog bathing, basic grooming, and providing preventative care as a veterinary technician. With a deep understanding of animal needs and a compassionate approach, I strive to ensure your pets are not only healthy and happy but also feel safe and loved in your absence. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel loved and comfortable. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. While I don’t have any pets, I find that spending time with them adds a lot of joy to my life. During playtime, I will be attentive to your pets needs and ensure their safety from potential injury. I will provide affection and love through hugs and belly scratches. I am dedicated to being patient and meeting the needs of your senior pets when required.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience training puppies and handling all kinds of dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I learned about animal behavior and how to properly care for and work with different pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions given by the owner. I also make sure pets feel comfortable by giving them plenty of attention and patience.
“Sarah is truly great! Upon meeting her, the dog instantly took a liking to her (and the cat did not take off under the bed). She quickly jumped in and has been a blessing as she comes in and gives the dog a potty break and a chance to stretch her legs/burn off some energy. My puppy is a giant breed so her playful mess can be "a lot." Her photos of their walk and the time she takes to love on the cat are a bright spot in my work day. And best of all, I don't worry about my girls while I'm away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs the size of a mini pony, to the size of a cup. I love all sizes of dogs and, can’t wait to meet your furry friend. I am currently working full time as a dental assistant. I do have time on the weekends to stay and watch your furry friend. As well as I’m also a college student currently. I can make my schedule work around yours. I have one pitbull boxer mix that’s very friendly. As well as a fenced in home. I can also crate my dog if that is an issue.
“Aivy is always so good with my baby . She has a very calm and relaxing demeanor which helps Athena. I love all the pictures and updates I get while she is there. I highly recommend Aivy!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or house sitting, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience, specialized attention, and medication administration. I’m also comfortable working with dogs that experience anxiety or are initially guarded around new people. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust at their own pace, using a calm, patient approach to help them feel secure and supported. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and personalized care while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands while you’re away. I currently work in office but I have some flexibility to work from home or less hours in office when planned ahead. I also have the ability to leave the office when needed to give walks or administer medication, When caring for pets in your home, I follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I have experience with senior dogs and anxious pets and always take a patient, personalized approach. I also treat your home with the utmost care and respect.

About: Hi there! I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid and have an affinity for all pets. I am currently mom to a poodle mix and 2 adorable cats. I’ll treat your dog as if it were my own - with lots of love! I’m up to go anywhere your dog wants to go and take great care of them. I’m always ready to run with your dog or take it slow and chill. Long, slow walks or short, exhilarating walks are all up my alley. I’m willing to meet your dog with you beforehand to see if we’re a fit and make sure I can give y’all the safest and exciting experience. I also can do commissioned drawings of your furry friend! I hope to meet your companion soon and take the good kid on an amazing walk. I took a break from Rover (hence the old reviews) but I am thrilled to be back. I'm currently a graduate student so I try to do this doing my free time Sunday to Tuesday. I am available most mornings and will let you know if I can accommodate. I currently am only able to do drop ins and walks. I treat every client's home with respect and will make sure to leave the home as it was. My number one priority is your pet's safety and happiness!
About: I have 2 dogs of my own that I’ve had for 10 years. I also have taken care of my neighbor’s chihuahua, and my aunt’s sheltie for weeks at a time. I have done this for about 10 years, I usually watch them for about a week when they’re on vacation. Since I have 2 fur babies of my own, I am feeding them in the morning and night. I walk them at night for about 30 minutes each. During the day I have college classes, but I am home most of the day to take care of them. I am comfortable with any type of care your animal needs whether that be crating, muzzling, or using treats/food. I can walk and run with your dog and I can handle large dogs or pulling dogs.
“Christine did a fantastic job with my 3. Every time I got a full, detailed report and photos and I know she is a true pet lover based on our conversation. When there was a problem getting in the house she contacted me immediately and we found a solution. Excellent service!”
“This was my first time using this type of service. William came to do a meet and greet to easy my concerns. William was great with my pups. I will definitely be booking him for future services.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life . While I don’t have any of my own now, I enjoy walking & checking in on them on my days off work! My schedule at work gives me some days where I’m very flexible. let me know how I can help! Always up to play with dogs. I am open to short walks or very long ones. I am confident with most sized dogs if they are not highly reactive and are leash trained. I ensure all dogs I walk have plenty of water and are not walking on overly hot ground.
About: I personally have had a service dog from the military, I had a major hand in his training as I training professionally in the navy with substance dogs. I love working with them, cuddles are necessary always, and just making sure they have what they need! I have a very flexible job in sales so my availability is very open. Dogs need a lot of care and I’m willing to make the time for them. I spoil and care for my own dog with the most upright care. She’s a spoiled baby and she loves her cat sisters and brother. I have more water bowls than one needs and treats always available
About: My family has worked with rescue groups since I was little, so taking care of dogs and cats is second-nature to me! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets for years and I have two of my own dogs that are my fur-babies and get only the best love and attention. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own! I am home full-time and my husband works from home, so there will always be someone here with the dogs. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays as needed. I can check on your pets at your house and take them on regular walks. I have a fenced yard and doggy door for easy access to the backyard, if your pet can't decide on in or out. I have two friendly dogs to play with and can crate your pet if they would be more comfortable in their own space.

Angelica is absolutely amazing! This wasn’t my first time booking with her, and she has been wonderful every time. She came to check on Oakley right after she had a small procedure and stayed with her to make sure she was comfortable, which meant so much to me. She also came through for me on a last-minute request without hesitation. She’s so sweet, reliable, and truly cares. I always feel at ease knowing Oakley is with her. I highly recommend her!
Alexis is so sweet and really takes time and care with your animals. She is very detailed and always provides great updates. Knowing that my dog is well looked after when i'm not home gives me peace of mind. I love having Alexis as my dog walker and my dog loves her too!
Deepika was pleasant to work with for my parent's dog. She was always timely, professional, and loved our dog like her own. It was such a relief to have someone help out after my dad's surgery and I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of Maggie than Deepika!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in The Colony on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,172 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across The Colony. 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 The Colony. 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 The Colony.

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 The Colony. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
