“I’m so happy that Rebecca is offering her service here in Carrollton. She is personable, professional, punctual, confident and thoughtful. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Luey is so happy after coming in from walks with her. I trust her completely and (in consideration of this upside down world) I feel very good supporting her professionally.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very little and have always loved dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Animals, especially dogs, bring me so much joy which is what inspired me to start dog sitting! I love checking in, playing with, and feeding my sister’s Frenchie when she’s out of town and I know I’d love your dog!! I’m currently in between jobs right now so I have plenty of time for your pups! My schedule is super flexible and open I can sometimes do last minute check-ups if needed! I have two very friendly boykin spaniels of my own which I absolutely adore. I very easily adjust to dogs of all behaviors & can do just about anything needed to care for your little (or big) ones!!!
“Maya was an absolute pleasure. She did exactly what I asked—walked my dogs and showed patience with both of them. One of my dogs is nervous and the other can be a bit of a brat, but she handled them with ease. Even in the 80-degree weather, she stayed upbeat and smiling the entire time. She was so accommodating, and it’s clear my dogs are happier because of her care. Thank you, Maya! Highly recommend!”
“Crissy is very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She is responsible, friendly, responsive, and flexible with unforeseen circumstances. Would highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of 10+ dogs that stayed in my home. I like to take them on walks and give them the attention they love they need! I am a college student who only has class three days a week. I like to go on walks and exercise. I do homework in my apartment for the most part. I have all the free time in the world and would love to take care of your pets for mutual companionship! I do not have a yard in my home but I have beautiful trails and green spaces where I would walk or run with your pup! I have a living room where the dog would be fed.

About: I am a HUGE dog person, it's basically my whole personality at this point. I have had dogs in my life since I was 10, when I got my first shih tzu, Bella. I also volunteered at the Nebraska Humane Society throughout high school, walking the shelter dogs and providing them with much-needed enrichment. I have experience caring for dogs that are a bit hyperactive and need a bit more attention and exercise. Not to mention all of my experience with petting random dogs on the street or at the park and telling them what good boys or girls they are. There is no dog too big or small for me, I love them all!! I currently have a part-time job, but I don't work more than 30 hours per week, and I usually get scheduled for only 3-5 hours at a time. I have many free days as well in which I would be available to walk your dog or provide enrichment. I am dedicated to making sure your dog is comfortable and happy! I know that each furry pal has a routine that they are accustomed to following, and each owner has a set of rules they follow to keep their pets happy & healthy. I would be sure to follow any directions or guidelines given to me by owner. After all, they know their pets the best!
About: I pride myself on having learned about dogs from a young age. Although I am no expert, I would say my knowledge about dog behavior and body language is above average! I grew up with German Shepherds so I am very comfortable with bigger dogs, but also love a small dog too :) I work full-time, but am available every Wednesday guaranteed. My work schedule varies since I work in retail but some days this allows me to be off of work before noon which would give me plenty of time to care for your pup midday. On the other hand, some days i don’t work until later afternoon times so I am available for early visits in the morning :) For those reasons I'm super flexible Having pets of my own, I understand that following their routine and schedule is important, so I will be punctual and follow any instructions left for me! Whether it’s on walks or just quick drop-ins, I hope to leave your pet as happy as can be!
About: I have over 5 years of professional animal care experience and well over 10 in personal animal care experience ranging from raising and training litters of puppies to assisting with horses. I have had animals all my life and was raised to put their care before my own. For the last 5 years I have worked in vet clinics while in school at UGA pursuing a degree in animal biological sciences. While working in those vet clinics I have worked as both a boarder and a vet tech at a fear free clinic dealing with both calm and more aggressive animals. My duties in these positions were watering, feeding, walking, and administering medication for pets ranging from 6 months old to elderly. I am very well versed in all types of animals and am happy to answer any questions you may have for me! I am a teacher and am entering summer break so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! While I cannot house sit due to having a dog of my own I am more than happy to take time to visit your fur baby when necessary while my dog plays with my family pets at home! I provide a safe, calm, and reliable experience for pets during walks and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like my own and follow all my clients instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe. Safety is very important to me, so I always use secure leash practices, pay close attention to my surrounding during walks, and make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners are sure their pets are in good hands.

About: I have work experience at a pet store and have worked with many different pets and animals! I have been relied on to take care of their various needs. Such as cleaning up after messes, doing feeding schedules, play-time, etc. I also have grown up around all animals. There’s never been a moment in my life where I was pet-less. I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself, and other family members even have whole reptile rooms. Needless to say, I’m an avid animal lover and owner. I do currently work part-time! With enough notice however, It’s fairly easy for me to make time for pet sitting, dog walking, bathroom breaks, etc. Animals are a priority. I am very communicative. If by any chance I run into any questions or bumps in the road, I will give a phone call or send a text message. I never want any pet parents to be “out of the loop.” I work very well with treat training or praise. If I need to crate an animal, I prefer positive reinforcement. I treat animals how I would want to be treated! I love meeting dogs or cats first to establish some trust or a comfortable relationship. A decent conversation with an owner would work as well.
About: I’m here to help! I’ve worked with dogs from puppies to seniors. But also worked with dogs with behavioral problems and overall shy dogs. Also have trained a few dogs as well! I’m always available on weekends but on week days I’m free after 4:30pm to walk and check up on any of your pets! And if it’s in the only on week days it would be anytime before 8:30am.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,060 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Abilene. 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 Abilene. 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 Abilene.

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 Abilene. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
