About: I have grown up with dogs so I am very comfortable around them! From playing fetch and going on runs to cuddles and pets I am more than happy to provide your dog with whatever they need. I know that they need lots of love and attention which I am looking forward to giving them. We have two dogs of our own, Wilbur and Goose, and I wish I could have more! But giving your pets love will do me just fine. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me. I look forward to taking great care of your pets! Luckily, I get to work remotely. This allows me a lot of flexibility of when I am able to provide pet care since I can work around my schedule easily! We are fortunate enough to have a large fenced in back yard for our pups to run freely in! Whenever they are not playing outside, they are inside with me and have the option of napping on their own couch, playing with me, or relaxing in my office.

About: With over three years of professional experience working at NoDa Bark & Board, Lucky Pup, and Camp Bow Wow, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities included supervising group play, administering medications when needed, feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring every dog stayed safe and comfortable throughout the day.

As of right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m currently between jobs while waiting to begin graduate school in the spring, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Toward the end of August, I’ll begin substitute teaching, but my availability will still remain flexible outside of school hours. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, overnight care, or weekend attention, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Having worked professionally in multiple doggy daycare facilities, I’m experienced in reading canine body language, preventing conflicts, and responding calmly in stressful situations.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I grew up with rabbits, had my first dog at 15 who was a part of my family for 14 amazing years, and have had a cat of my own for the past 6 years. Being around animals has always brought me so much joy, and pet sitting is something I genuinely love doing. I love getting outside for walks, playing at the dog park, enjoying some fresh air, and, of course, giving plenty of belly rubs, snuggles, and attention! Whether your pet is an energetic adventurer or a professional cuddle, I want them to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you're away. I know pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with lots of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I'm available 7 days a week and can accommodate a variety of schedules, including overnight stays. I prefer caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stick to their familiar routines and feel safe in their own environment while you're away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, or overnight care, I'm happy to work with you to find the best fit for your pets' needs. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family members! Your pets' safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care and plenty of companionship. This is also really ideal for puppies and older dogs that need more hands-on assistance. I prefer keeping pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and can maintain their familiar routines while you're away. Whether we're enjoying walks, spending time outside, playing, or relaxing with some well-deserved belly rubs and snuggles, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'll respect your home, follow your instructions, and do my best to keep your pets happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.

About: After moving to the USA, I joined TrustedHousesitters to travel — and in just four years, I’ve stayed in over 50 homes across America. But when I’m at home, I miss having a pet of my own. That’s why I’ll be so happy to welcome your furry friend into my home, so they can feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work online, so I’m home all the time — except when I go to the gym. Welcome! Small, grown-up, well-behaved — or not so much I have a fenced yard and no pets, which allows your pet to feel comfortable and enjoy peace and privacy throughout the property. 🐾my love

About: I've spent the past 8 years caring for my own Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepherd dog, Atlas, so I'm very familiar with dogs that have lots of energy and need plenty of exercise and attention! I've also helped care for friends' dogs over the years, including walking a friend's dog four days a week for several months. My experience with dog sitting actually goes back to my teenage years! I've always loved dogs and really enjoy getting to know their different personalities. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or just spending time together, I want to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your dog and become someone you can count on, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands while you're away! I recently went back to school and am in the middle of a career transition, which has given me some extra flexibility in my schedule that I’d love to use for dog walking and help with drop-by visits. I'm happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your dog! When caring for pets in someone else's home, I'm always mindful and respectful of my surroundings. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I make it a priority to follow any instructions or routines. I also do my best to keep your pet's living areas clean, safe, and comfortable, and will always treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, growing up with both small and large breeds, so I understand how different their needs can be. I keep an active lifestyle with plenty of walks and playtime, but I’m also mindful of dogs who don’t do well in the heat, offering enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated and cool. My home is clean and completely smoke-free, so your pup will have a healthy, comfortable place to relax. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy or a calm place to rest, I’ll tailor my care to fit them I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog attention and care, not just quick check-ins. I can take dogs on multiple walks a day, keep them company, administer any medication on schedule, and adjust to whatever routine your pup is used to. Since I’m around all day, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can respond right away if they need anything In my own home, I have one dog, so your pet will get personal attention rather than being lost in a crowd. I keep counters, floors, and bathroom trash clear of anything edible, and my home is kept incredibly clean to make sure it’s a safe, healthy environment. It’s also a calm, non-smoking household, so your dog can relax without excess noise or stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat their safety and comfort as a top priority

FAQs for Dog Walking - Western Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Western Hills is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 1,669 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 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 , 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 Western Hills 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Western Hills. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
