Alyssia was great! She learned all my pup’s training commands and brought her back exhausted! This was my first Rover but it won’t be last.

About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. Since I have owned many cats over the years I also consider myself experienced in cat care. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I my schedule is very flexible. I also don’t mind getting up early if necessary for your pet. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.

About: 🥰Bring your baby for their "fur-cation" where the fun & relaxation is!😍🐶 Having to get a sitter, drop-in visit or walks scheduled for your baby can be a stressor- being away from your baby & finding your person. Well you have found your person here. I love furbabies & will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ I have furkids myself & my house is setup with furbabies & safety in mind. 🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace, not rushed, bc they all have their own personalities & preferences. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! Thats what brought me to Rover as a client, now a sitter myself. I have a playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! On pretty days we spend as much time outside as we can. We also have elevated beds outside, 2 little pup-pools, large grassy area & covered backporch with ceiling fans, patio umbrella & also a water misting fan to beat the heat! (Pup cups too!)🥰 My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. My senior pup is 11 & will play some but mostly likes to lounge & watch the others; my twins are almost 2 & will play off & on all day, so your baby will have a great time! *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. We can set up a quick meet & greet. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay, but I understand sometimes its not an option for whatever reason, & thats okay. We will be glad to have you! **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰 I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 COME STAY & PLAY!🥰🐶❤️ I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty & security cameras in & outside my home for safety. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *Misc info: I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me. I love them, bc they are the epitome of unconditional love, & need to show that back to them all.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 4 years! I have three goldens of my own and understand how they can can be like family! 🫶🏼 I would be so excited to take care of your pets while you are away! I am also an AKC affiliated dog breeder of two years! I a college student who does online school so I’m available to care for your pets 3-4 times a day if desired. I usually am free any time of the day to come take your dog for a walk, check on them, or stay over night! I do live in a mobile home with three Goldens. The downside is I do not have a fenced in back yard, but the upside is I’m with them 16-24 hours of the day until their owners arrive back home! If a client ask me to stay at their home I usually follow their instructions with how many times they want me to come and if they want me to stay overnight! 🫶🏼

I contacted Catherine at the very last minute because Wag canceled 30 minutes prior to a scheduled walk. Catherine was awesome. She came right over and took Stella on a walk for me. She sent me pictures and kept me updated. I won’t be booking a walk with Wag ever again... I will be using Catherine instead!

About: I have three years of dog-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. As a proud pet parent myself, I believe in showering our babies with all the love and affection their precious lives deserve. I prioritize active, joyful outdoor time, including trips to the park, long walks, and relaxing together on the back porch! I'm correctly working part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to be able to prioritize your pet's needs whether that looks like 1+ hour walks/ enrichment time or special feeding times and instructions. Your pets comfort is my number 1 priority. I love to go on long walks, go to the dog park, or used the fenced in dog space in my neighborhood to allow our babies the time they need to play and get the enrichment that they need. A pet is always welcome to make themselves at home in my space even if that means that I have to adapt certain things to their needs like assistance getting in bed for puppies and elder dogs or making sure that their favorite toys are always available for them to play with.

About: I have experience with many animals, ranging from dogs to horses. I have been responsible for animal care for the last 7 years. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as seniors and puppies. I can handle the energetic pullers, but can also train them to stop pulling. I can train a few basic commands. I also have experience with senior and disabled animals. I am a student and a part-time employee! With no summer classes and short shifts ranging from 4-6 hours, I will have lots of free time this summer! I am very flexible and would love to accommodate your pet's schedule! I am very attentive to all animals under my care. I will always have my eyes on them and I love to provide enrichment activities.

About: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.

About: Since I was little, I was around animals all the time. My mom‘s cat lady gene was very strong, because I have six very special cats myself: Ruby (an orange tabby with three legs), Freya (a long-haired dilute torbie), Luna (a silly calico), Phoebe (a tortie with white socks), Callisto (a gray teddybear who came to us as a yard stray) and Poe (void cat who was born in our house). Although I do not want the commitment of adding a dog to the mix full-time, I also love taking care and playing with all puppers! I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible work times. I can schedule walks and check-ups early in the mornings and starting after 5 pm in the afternoon. I am available most weekends, both Saturday and Sunday. I will familiarize myself with your space and where your pets are allowed. It is important to me to understand if your pet will try to test limits and rules with me that might apply in your home. Both cats and dogs react differently to strangers, so it is important for me to not force them to interact if they want their space.

About: I have stayed in homes for several days caring for three dogs, ensuring they received attention, exercise, and routine care. I’ve also provided traditional pet sitting services, checking in on dogs, feeding them, and taking them for walks. I am extremely detail-oriented and committed to following all instructions exactly as given to ensure pets remain comfortable, safe, and happy whether they are in their home environment or mine. I am a college student home for the summer and I am working a part time job 20 hours per week at Lake Forest Racquet Club. Therefore, I have a very flexible schedule as I usually only work from 7 A.M. to 12 P.M. four days a week. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, structure, and stimulation. In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions and respect their space while maintaining a calm and clean environment for the pet. In my own home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and physical activity through regular walks and playtime. I truly strive to create a comfortable setting where pets feel secure and cared for at all times!

About: I’ve had pets in my home my entire life! Multiple dogs and at least one cat at a time. We have fostered many puppies and dogs some were medically fragile through our local humane society. As a child I learned how to be responsible for my pets and all their daily care. I am excited to meet your pets because I miss being around my own pets since I’m 4 hours from home and they are truly like one of our family members! I’m a full time student at the University of Alabama so I’m able to fit in pet care around my classes!! My classes are primarily in the morning!! I would communicate the pets needs with the owner to ensure I can provide the same care and attention they receive when their owner is at the home with them!

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life! I’ve had a dog for 9 years, a cat for 3, and I have recently welcomed my second cat while in college. From daily walks and feeding routines to litter boxes and vet visits, I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats. My pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with that same love and attention. As a college student home for the summer and working part-time, I have plenty of flexible time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available most mornings and afternoons, with evenings and weekends almost always open. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. Having cared for both a dog and cats in my own home, I know how to create a calm, secure environment. I’m attentive, responsible, and will always communicate with you about how your pet is doing throughout my care!

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember, and being around them has been a part of my life since birth. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Spending time with them has always been one of my greatest joys, especially if it’s going for long walks and giving belly rubs. I’m currently set to attend law school, which means I’m temporarily separated from my own fur baby back home. While I miss her every day, pet sitting gives me the chance to share that same love and attention with your pets. Caring for animals fills a space in my heart and allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while helping fellow pet parents have peace of mind. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, which is why keeping you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages is of the utmost importance to me. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! I am currently taking the summer off from any part-time jobs and internships before I start school this August. I have a very open and flexible schedule! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining the routine they’re familiar with. I’m also great at following specific instructions because I know every pet has unique needs.

About: Hello! I hope this finds you well. When you book with me, you can rest assured you’ll be worry free! I bring a unique mix of veterinary experience and real world animal care. Before attending UCLA, I worked at a veterinary clinic where I administered medications, assisted with post op care, and handled pets of all temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from kittens to senior pups. Growing up on a farm gave me hands on experience with dogs, cats, cattle, horses and a wide range of animals, so nothing fazes me. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and happy while providing owners with regular updates and peace of mind. My schedule is flexible. I adjust my schedule based on your pet’s needs. I’m an early riser, and I’m willing to wake up even earlier if needed. Routine medications are also available upon request. Safety is my first priority. I double check that all doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time, and follow feeding and medication instructions precisely. Trust is everything, so I’ll ensure that you feel comfortable leaving your pet. I aim to keep pet(s) active with at least 3–4 walks or play sessions per day (adjusted to their needs) so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away.

About: Hello, I'm Jennifer. Since I was 8 years old, my whole family had a range of pets, including: dogs, cats, fresh water fish, iguanas, and birds. Irvin and I have currently been fostering for the last 17 years and work alongside the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter when needed as foster parents. As long as a client communicates, we can accommodate! My off days from my career are Thursday and Friday and I work 3pm-11pm (evenings). My lunch periods are VERY flexible, and I'm free anytime during my off hours. I'm the primary caregiver, and Irvin will help me as needed. I have a full fenced in yard, so caring for dogs isn't an issue. I can crate a pet if requested, and have multiple crates available at my home if one is needed so owners don't need to carry them. We know they're heavy!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Western Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Western Hills on Rover is $30.52 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 185 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Western Hills. 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 Western Hills. 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 Western Hills.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
