About: I’ve been caring for animals (domestic and farm) my whole life, but I enjoy dogs the most! My own pup, an 8 yr old Golden Doodle, is a friend to everyone. She is well-trained and gets along with other animals very well. I have experience giving meds, bathing, crate training, leash training and basic grooming. I occasionally cook for my pup with our dog-safe kitchen scraps and get a kick out of her excitement for her special “meal toppers”. We are a homeschool family and enjoy teaching our older kids how to care for our own animals. We are home every day of the week. I have experience doing in-house boarding and drop-in visits for dogs and I have experience doing drop-in visits for cats. Dogs are welcome inside the home so long as they are potty trained. We have a garage space that has been set up to accommodate our golden doodle and she is happy to share the space with a friend. We do have a medium/large sized kennel on site if needed as well as a a play pen. Crate trained pups are preferred but not necessary. Our yard is not fenced and we do have chickens and other poultry on the property. We have about 1.5 acres with access to a pond. Our dog runs free but visitors will be walked on a leash (or a dog run, if acceptable) to keep everyone safe. I offer boarding in a calm, structured home environment. My setup works best for dogs who are fully house-trained, comfortable settling indoors, and able to follow a predictable home routine. I prioritize a low-stress stay for both pets and people.
About: I take great care of my own animals and love dogs and cats myself. I am very responsible for my own animals and will be for yours. I’m in school as georgia southern and currently a sophomore. I am taking 6 classes but 3 online and am available before 9 am and after 3 pm on certain days. I can walk your dog and feed your dog. I will play with your dog and take care of your babies. I have my own puppy as well.
“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!”
“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!”

I owned my first dog at 4 years old and I knew then that I couldn’t live without them. Since then dogs have become a huge part of my life. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet! I am home nearly all day every day and can provide lots of time and attention to your pet. I am very active and will provide many walks Your pet will stay on the same schedule that you have them on and will be provided with any additional necessary requirements to make them feel at home on their stay
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!!!
About: Hello my name is Gabi and I have been around at least one family dog my whole life usually 2-3! I love animals and stay very active by running at least 3 times a week and walking at least once a day. My home has plenty of room for the dogs to play and an unfenced but large backyard! I live in walking distance to the green belt with lots of trails to walk and the lake for dogs to swim. I work in Carrollton some days I am home all day some days I have to run check on projects. Either way after 4 I can spend the rest of the evening with the dogs! i can't wait to meet your furry friends! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I mostly work from home but have to go check on job sites occasionally. I can’t wait to get to know your dogs! I have a spacious home with an unfenced back yard for them to play in! Dogs are always allowed to sleep in the bed and on the couch! I live very close to the green belt with lots of trails!
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes, genders, types, and colors since day one. Whether it is a family member, friend, or a new acquaintance, I am always ready and willing to love on a good puppers. I love every dog I meet and enjoy experiencing each and every different personality that comes along. While I am not at a place in life to have my own dog, I want to take every opportunity to feed my pupper fever. I am part time with a lot of flexibility in my days. I have some commitments that are generally consisteng but I am able to arrange my schedule if I know about needs before the weeks starts. I will respect any needs of your personal space and make sure to clean up if there are any accidents or problems. I like to know where any cleaning supplies are so that I can do this properly.
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. I’m huge into following directions and having good communication with my clients. Making sure I know if there’s any triggers or problems your pets have before service.
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 have been surrounded by animals my whole life. Throughout college and after, I have had two dogs and two cats of my own. One of my past job experiences is as a vet tech so I have a bit of handling/caring for all types of animals. I currently have a senior doggie so I am able to provide senior dog (or cat) care if needed as I know having older dogs requires more patience and understanding (which should be regardless of any age) due to it being hard to get up and move around than the younger babies. I will go over and beyond to make sure your fur baby (or babies) are comfortable with me as they normally are with you! I am in my 2nd year of medical school and currently studying at home for a couple exams so can easily make time to care for your baby as a drop in or while staying in my home with my dog, Pixie. I have a fenced in yard and large single family home which I have one room that is completely empty that could be ”the fur baby(ies) room” if need be. I can also bring my study stuff over to spend the day studying and playing with your baby in their own safe environment, but will need to run home occasionally to take care of my own dog, Pixie.
About: I've been actively searching for an additional income opportunity. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that it could be spending time with my new adorable fluffy friends! There is no price tag valued high enough for the life of your furry family members! I would love to spend time with as many of my new friends as possible and keep them company to distract them from how much they miss you while you're gone! We will have a great time playing fetch, tug of war, squeaking squeakers, taking walks, eating, exchanging belly rubs and head scratches, brushing each other's hair, rolling around outside to let the grass scratch our backs and sniffing each other. I hope they are as excited as I am!!
About: I have always grown up around animals both cats and dogs! I have my own dog that I got when I was 13, he was my responsibility to take care of! And I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes too! I love to meet new dogs and friendly faces! I would love to meet your dog! I am very much an animal person! Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I will respect all wishes for you and your animal. I know these animals are family and deserve to be treated as much! I can’t wait to meet you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,048 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.
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 Abilene. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
