About: Hello, I'm Angela and I have been a dog and animal lover my whole life. I have watched dogs for family and neighbors for many years. My background is in psychology and I've definitely used that knowledge in understanding my own dogs and those I take care of. I'm currently undergoing a career change, so I have plenty of time on both weekdays and weekends to watch and play with your furry family members. I try to keep my availability as up-to-date as possible within the limited settings Rover has. I am adaptable to any routine that your pet is used to, such as feeding times and walks. I am familiar with rescues and the variability in their behavior and comfort with new people.

About: I've grown up taking care of so many pets. We always had dogs and cats in our house but also reptiles, chickens, horses and more! Friends, family, neighbors and so many others have relied on me to take care of their pets and I can do the same for you. Whether they want to walk, play, need check in or a loving cuddle I got it handled! I'm very flexible and although I do have a job I can work around it to find the best times to take care of your furry friend. I'm aware I'll be walking on their turf so I promise to be respectful and caring. I will accommodate their needs and meet them on their level.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for nearly 14 years and often pet-sit for friends. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work full-time in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during the day when available, as well as some evenings and weekends. I enjoy making time for pets and will work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! I provide dog walking, drop-in visits at the client’s home, and dogsitting stays by the hour, focusing on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I give them plenty of love, attention, and care while following their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I also have a peanut allergy, so any treats provided must be peanut-free. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: My first word was “woof!” I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I absolutely adore animals. I’ve worked with big dogs, little dogs and puppies. I have been the main dog sitter in my neighborhood and for my family and friends for years. My dogs are my babies and you can absolutely trust me to give your baby the best time full of cuddles, playtime and walks! I go to college in Kansas so when I’m home for break(s) I will be free and more than happy to care for your pet! I will follow any and all instructions you have for your pup and be incredibly mindful of your home and of your dogs boundaries and surroundings.

About: I have always loved dogs. My husband and I adopted a beagle 5 years ago and we have just loved every minute of it. We go on daily walks, have plenty of toys and dog puzzles. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to monitor and play with your dogs. My Beagle Tommy is also dog friendly. We go outside frequently and supervise outside playtime. I have a friendly beagle who loves to play hard and nap hard too. We allow dogs on the furniture and work from home. We do not crate dogs even when leaving the home.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have lots of experience caring for dogs, especially through overnight pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to adapt to each pet’s individual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. As a cat owner myself, I also understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel at ease! I work full time with a lot of flexibility in the morning, midday, and on weekends. Having no children I can also be available in the late evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company. I also respect each client’s home and make sure to leave it just as I found it. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I would adopt a hundred if I could, but since I can’t I think this app is the next best thing! I am a teacher so Monday-Friday I am free in the evenings, and free anytime on the weekends! I wish I could adopt every animal, so this job is the next best thing! I care for pets as if they are family members, I may be guilty of spoiling them from time to time but they deserve it!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life. From training puppies, to caring for older dogs who have needed round the clock medicine and care and everything in between. I have taken care of kittens/cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, you name your pet and I have probably come into contact with it at some point. I have always wanted to become a veterinarian, but life took me in other directions, so now I show my love and support for the animal community by helping people take care of their fur babies. I am currently working 5 8hr shifts outside the home, but am available for walks, check-ins and other services! I am off by 215 every day so plenty of time in the evenings. My neighborhood is wonderful, I have plenty of nearby parks, as well as, a walking trail directly in my neighborhood. It is a very pet friendly place, with lots of other pets to interact with and also has a dog park. I usually only do healthy treats for training, but obviously will cater to whatever schedule or routine your animal needs.

About: I have always loved dogs, and I had a lot of experience helping with dogs that belonged to my other family members or friends growing up. I have added dogs to the family as an adult and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, and caring for them. I have a bichon-freise and shitzu (teddybear mix) dog as part of our family currently. I have two daughters who adore dogs. I am just now beginning this journey on Rover though I have lots of experience working with dogs and caring for others' pups. I am currently working part time from home, so I have time to play and care for your pup. I can take your dog out first thing in the morning, a couple of times during the day, and before bedtime. I walk my own dog three to four times daily and sometimes take him to one of the two fenced in pet parks in my apartment building. Your dog can join us for whatever seems appropriate to you.

About: My son and I are huge animal lovers. If there’s a dog out and about, we wanna say hi and love on them! We have one sweet girl of our own who is an absolute princess. She loves other dogs and gets along well with most dogs. We do live in an apartment but have a dog park just around the corner from our building, go for walks regularly and we are on the ground floor. I work four days a week, but the most an animal is left alone is about six hours. Let us love on your fur babies, while you’re away! I won’t be able to take any unfixed animals due to past aggressive behaviors. I work four days a week during the week from 8:30 to 6 in my son is home by 3 PM and always lets the dog out. I am home every weekend I would always ensure your dog is loved and cared for as our own is. Whatever you need to feel comfortable leaving your fur child.

About: I’ve had a dog of my own and have always loved animals. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from a young puppy through their senior years, and I’ve also looked after a household with three dogs. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, follow their care instructions closely, and use a gentle but confident approach. Whether it’s keeping a puppy engaged or giving an older dog patient, attentive care, I want every pup to feel happy, comfortable, and well loved. I’m a medical student, an animal lover, and a caring, dependable sitter who will go above and beyond to help your pet feel safe and loved. I’ve had a dog of my own and understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet. My school schedule can vary, so please reach out with the dates and times you need. I can often make walks, drop-ins, or an overnight stay work. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep you updated, and give them plenty of attention and affection. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow your care instructions and keep your dog secure during walks and visits. Please share any safety concerns, special needs, or behavior details ahead of time. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll bring extra pet supplies in case they’re needed.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. My first word was my neighbor’s dog’s name, Ashley! I have been a trusted dog, cat, lizard, and fish sitter for 10 years, and would love to continue! I have experience with elderly and young dogs, and administering medication. I recently got a full time position and am looking for something to do on the side. I am punctual, and patient. I know how it feels to love a pet with your whole heart (even if that pet wasn't mine). I have weekends free, and am free for walks around lunch and in the evening on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have never met a dog I didn’t love and I would love to meet yours! I’m currently working full time but work from home Monday and Friday. Right down the street from Tower Grove Park, where it’s sniff heaven! I love to go for walks and can fit them in the morning, evening and around noon. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I’m more than happy to go on long walks and training/sniff activities to work through some energy and add some mental stimulation!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kiffin. She is kind, dependable, and truly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment she met Leo, it was clear that she cared for him as if he were her own. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely loves dogs, I highly recommend her. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our sweet boy!

Emily was such a godsend during my pup’s final days. I had an 11 year old tripod pittie named Brody who had trouble walking. Emily would spend whatever time was left after these short walks to sit with Brody and shower him with love and attention. I’d recommend Emily to anyone looking for a kind, patient and trustworthy dog walker

FAQs for Dog Walking - Westwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Westwood is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 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 2,565 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Westwood. 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 Westwood. 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 Westwood 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 Westwood. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
