About: I bring a lifetime of diverse animal experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with a rescue dog—and even a pet duck—which taught me early how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Today I share my home with Halo, my black rescue cat, and Grover, my rescue Yorkie, both of whom remind me daily how important patience and trust are. I also cared for Daisy, my special‑needs yellow lab, and understand the gentle routines senior pets require. And with Teddie, my Coton de Tulear from a prestigious lineage, I’m familiar with breed‑specific care and structured environments. Whether your pet is a rescue, a senior, a purebred, or a quirky little character, I meet them exactly where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. As a writer who works from home, I have a naturally flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My routine is calm, predictable, and easy to adjust around your pet’s needs—whether that means midday walks, morning check‑ins, or evening visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide steady, reliable care and keep your pet’s day running smoothly and stress‑free. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop‑in visits, which means your pet stays in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. During each visit, I follow your routines closely—feeding, fresh water, medication, enrichment, and any specific instructions you share. I keep a calm, reassuring presence, make sure doors are locked, and always double‑check your pet’s safety before leaving. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm while giving them attentive, reliable care and keeping your home secure.

About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡

About: I have a dog and a cat and have had 5 cats in total. I’ve trained my dog a lot of his tricks and behaviors like heeling, sit, stay, all of that. I’m intuitive and understand pet behavior, knowing when they are triggered versus happy. I’m an aware pet walker, conscious of surroundings and other pets. I love to play with animals and love all animals. I am patient and would love to meet your animals!! I’m currently a university student with extra time so looking to fill it with activities I love! That would include any time spent with any animals. I’m available on most weekends and have free periods throughout each weekday! I won’t be looking to board but to do check ins and take care of animals when you want some time for them to go on walks, be fed, played with, or just checked on!

Meg is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. She provides excellent care, truly loves animals, is very professional, and writes very detailed notes. She anticipates my dogs needs and is always prepared to go above and beyond- like putting her cooling vest on, bringing her water bottle, and rewarding good behavior on walks. I am so sad to no longer have Meg as a walker as I am moving, she will be missed!!!

Christopher took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. He asked thoughtful questions upfront so I felt confident they were in good hands, and he sent regular updates that put my mind at ease. When one of my pups got unexpectedly sick, he handled it calmly, cleaned everything thoroughly, and left the space spotless. That kind of care and responsibility means so much. I’ll absolutely be booking with him again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Westgate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Westgate on Rover is $19.98 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 16,877 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Westgate. 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 Westgate. 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 Westgate.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westgate. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
