About: Mom of two Daschunds for 14 years. Experienced with giving medication, walks, clean up, noticing signs of anything off. I am attentive and aware. I have had two little dogs that get into everything, and need round the clock care. Fur babies are the new kids of our generation and I treat them as such. I am detail oriented and am very good with intricate directions. I also just absolutely love playing with and cuddling dogs, I love them like my own! One huge thing for me is communication and check ins! Keeping you in the loop and updated with texts and pictures is number one priority (after your pets safety and happiness of course) 🐾 Also a background in photography so don’t be surprised if I send you stunning photos of your babies that you’ll probably want to get framed 💕 My schedule changes every week. So I can be available anywhere from 7am-5pm. We can work together to find what works best for you and your pets needs. I am experienced with giving medications/shots so if this is a need I am able to provide that as well. I know it can be hard when dogs need medications 3-4 times a day when we are away! I have cared for two dachsunds for 14 years and have had everything from pills, to liquid medications, to IVs. I want you to know your pet is in great hands!

“Suzanne was so helpful with my dog Meech while I was recovering from an injury and unable to walk him. She was quick and professional and had no issues handling some of his reactivity on the leash. Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”

About: I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for years. All through college, I watched dogs and cats for friends and family, and when I worked at a vet clinic, I gained even more experience. I’m comfortable administering all kinds of medication, including pills, liquids, and injections. I especially enjoy caring for older pets and those who may be a bit anxious. They often do best with patience and a consistent routine, and that’s exactly what I provide. During every stay, you’ll receive regular photo updates, along with notes on how your pet is eating, playing, sleeping, and handling any medication. I like to keep each pet on a daily schedule that closely matches their normal routine at home to help them settle in more comfortably. I work from home, so I’m here with the pets throughout the day. Guest pets aren’t left alone for long stretches, and I can stick to their regular times for meals, walks, potty breaks, and medication. My own pets already keep me on a set daily routine, and guest pets slip right into it. Each day has a steady rhythm of morning and evening meals, yard time, walks, play, and rest. In my home: My back yard is fully fenced, and I check the gates and fence line regularly. Guest pets share space with my two dogs and one cat, so every guest must be friendly with both dogs and cats. Before any first stay, I do a meet and greet so everyone can get to know each other. New guests are introduced to my pets slowly and are supervised until I know they all get along. At night, pets are kenneled for safety. Food, medications, and cleaning supplies are stored where pets can’t reach them. In your home (drop-ins): I follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and litter, and I double-check that doors, gates, and locks are secure before I leave. After each visit, I send a photo and a short note on how your pet is doing. Health and emergencies: From my time at a vet clinic, I’m comfortable giving all kinds of medication, including injections, and I know the early signs that a pet isn’t feeling well. Before each stay, I collect your vet’s contact information and any health notes. If anything seems off, I’ll contact you right away, and I’ll take your pet to the vet if needed.

About: I have had cats as pets my whole life and dogs as an adult. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years to dogs from puppies to seniors. Times have ranged from weekends to a month. I started fostering kittens when covid hit. I have found joy in caring for animals with all their different personalities. I have become experienced in all things kittens : bottle feeding , tube feeding administering medicine (my neighbor will even call me to give her pets pills) flea baths ringworm baths, brushing teeth you name it . I have even had to help kittens cross the rainbow bridge. It has been bitter sweet , but the love they give is more then enough. All animals deserve the best treatment and love we can give them I have been in education for 34 years teaching art and an administrator for the Fine Arts Department. I am retired now and have a lot of free time to spend with my favorite animals. I have found pet sitting and fostering to be very rewarding and someday would like to start my own fostering service. I have recently started rehabbing opossums, which is quite fun and much different than our tamer than our average 4 legged friends My job is flexible enough that i can leave for lunch and take care of your pets in the middle of the day as well. I have three cats that have been around lots of dog and cat “visitors” . Fostering cats has helped, … oh here comes another friend

About: I've lived with dogs my whole adult life and raised both of mine from puppies: a 13-year-old bull terrier (75 lbs) and a 3-year-old Yorkie (10 lbs). I'm confident with strong, stubborn dogs, gentle with tiny ones, and experienced with puppy training, from leash manners to potty routines to basic commands. My bull terrier is reactive, so I know how to manage dogs who get nervous or overexcited around other dogs. I stay calm, keep a safe distance, and plan routes to avoid stressful situations. I also understand senior dogs: slower walks, sore joints, and plenty of water and rest breaks. I'm prepared for emergencies too. I know pet first aid, including how to spot and treat overheating and how to care for cuts, and I know how to perform pet CPR. What sets me apart: I treat every dog like my own. I follow your routine and commands, keep leashes secure, and send photo updates during walks. I'm patient, reliable, and on time. I have a full time job but I work nights so I am free for walks in the morning and afternoon although I do have some availability at night and on weekends. I currently only do dog walks although I may add home care later in my home or the client’s home. I will add more info regarding this as needed.

“I’m so thankful to have had Amber step in and help me. I had a busy weekend at work and couldn’t have done it without her! My sitter cancelled last minute and Amber was able to schedule a meet and greet with us within the next day! This helped to reduce all anxiety as I could see that Tucker loved her already. The pictures and updates were awesome. She was so kind and definitely a blessing! Glad to find someone I can trust!”

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old, primarily through family, pet sitting, and even helping out stray dogs whenever I could. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for all kinds of breeds, including Poodles, Great Danes, Pit Bulls, Border Collies, German Shepherds, and many more! I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and keeping up with their normal routines. Whether your pup is big or small, energetic or laid-back, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours! *If your pet is very active then I’m the person your looking for! I LOVE staying active by taking walks and hiking with animals* My schedule is very flexible as I only work contract jobs. I’m home the majority of the day and am not confined to a set schedule everyday. I live in pet-friendly apartments with designated areas for bathroom breaks. I live on the first floor and have no safety hazards whatsoever. I am also very experienced with being inside clients homes through pet-sitting, housesitting, and other jobs.

I’m usually available most days to take dogs for walks or check on pets. I will take care of your pets and treat them with love and care, ensuring they are happy and well-fed, as well as your home, which I will maintain with respect and cleanliness.

About: I’ve had a dog continuously in my life since before I can remember my first pet was a Chihuahua and his name was puppy. Not very original name! I love volunteering at animal shelters, which is probably why I have three dogs in my house! I recently retired from a crisis Pregnancy Center so I have plenty of free time right now and intend to do activities with all breeds and sizes of pups I do have a fenced yard and two dogs that can play fetch the ball for hours! We love to take walks in the neighborhood where we meet lots of other fur babies.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

Know that your dog is in great hands and having the time of their life playing with my boys and I!

I have an 800 sq foot apartment, I keep anything that my dogs can get to out of reach, and my apartment complex has a gated dog park that they can run around in to burn some energy!

I highly recommend her! She has been such a huge help with walking my dog, Bailey, especially on mornings when I run out of time to take her myself. She is reliable, caring, and incredibly accommodating. She has even been available for last-minute requests, which I appreciate so much. It’s such a relief knowing Bailey is in good hands and getting the walks she needs even when my schedule gets busy. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Westover Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Westover Hills is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 4,619 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Westover 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 Westover 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 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 Westover 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 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 Westover Hills. 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.
