Brandi is always prepared when she comes to walk Karo. On hot days she brings water and a bowl for him. We love when she can come take Karo for a walk!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10. I would frequently pet sit for my neighbors when they went on trips, and took care of my own animals (a cat, 3 dogs (1 large, 2 small) and fish). I’m quite used to staying up overnight with small puppies for whatever they need, and work best with a specific schedule and instructions to ensure each and every pet is cared for properly! I’m currently attending college in the mornings until around 11:00, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets past noon. Contact me about specific dates! For day sitting and walks I’m glad to take them to the pet park, to go get a pup cup, or even just play in your backyard. For overnight care, I’m happy to stay in house to keep their schedule consistent and stick to any schedule you provide.

About: I have had my own cat since I was 4 years old and I grew up caring and watching over her and she is still by my side to this day. Throughout the years I have taken care of other animals within my family and my friends. I have more knowledge and experience with cats but I would love to watch over dogs more often. I have a job at Starbucks and my schedule fluctuates but I get my schedule three weeks prior and I am willing to work with anyone to be sure I can give their animals the care they need. Currently, I am treating my cat of her hyperthyroidism and early signs of kidney disease. I give her her medicine on a set schedule, a full dosage in the morning and a half-dosage at night. And even if work overlaps with that time I am sure to be flexible so I can get to her in time for her medication.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. In college, my friends and professors knew to trust me with their pets, whether walking, feeding, or boarding. Currently, I have two dogs that are trained to follow commands and walk off-leash. So, whatever the service, I’m here to help! I am fortunate to have an extremely flexible work schedule, so I am able to accommodate most of your pet’s needs—whatever the time or day! Safety and trust are paramount. I always follow directions and communicate often to ensure the best care for your four-legged friend. I am currently working a hybrid job that allows me to be very flexible to accommodate not only your schedule, but your pet’s schedule as well. I live in a house with a fenced-in backyard to ensure that every pet is safe and out of harm’s way. I have two dogs that love to make new friends!

About: I’ve grown up around many of my own pets as well as other peoples that I’ve cared for throughout my neighborhood. I’m not a party person nor do I have many friends. I love animals and always have. I love going on walks and just sitting outside for an hour throwing a ball. I like animals that think they’re a lap dog even if they’re bigger than me. I am a part time employee at Cocos Mexican restaurant. I can sit any day throughout the week Sunday-Saturday. Sitting does not affect my routine at all, I plan my weeks to fit sitting for pets I like to make sure that animals are fed and happy. I believe that if I want to eat and drink during the day, then surely my pet does too. I enjoy the sunlight and I’ll sit outside with your pet until they’re ready to come in. I’m not a party person nor do I like to be around a lot of people. I like my area to be clean so I can assure that when you return the house will be just as you left it if not cleaner.

About: I've spent my entire life around dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has always had at least one dog in the household-right now we have four-so I've experienced almost every stage of canine care. I raised my own goldendoodle, Paisle, through an extremely energetic puppy phase, and I've also cared for senior dogs, including our family cocker spaniel who faced health issues and became sensitive in his later years. I am comfortable handling both large dogs and small breeds. This lifelong, hands-on experience helps me understand each dog's unique needs and provide patient, reliable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for multiple dogs at home. I keep a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and individual attention, so adding another pet into my routine feels natural. I’m also a full-time student, but during the summer I’m not busy with classes, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. Whether it’s daily care or weekly check-ins, I’m organized, reliable, and always make sure each pet gets the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each dog’s needs and routine. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate training, or preferred walking routes. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and I’m patient with dogs who are shy, high-energy, or adjusting to a new space. I also keep communication open with frequent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that helps your dog feel as secure with me as they do with you.

About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a dog by my side taught me how to understand, care for, and connect with them in a way that feels completely natural. Being around dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I've known my whole life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning their unique personalities, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Every dog deserves care that feels like home, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I currently work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). I can take care of pets after 5pm and on the weekends. We can arrange timing if needed. Thank you! I have a very spacious loft downtown I can have them in. Also have space for kennels if needed. Lots of parks near by and sidewalks to walk them. I’m also willing to take care of them at the clients residents as well. Whatever is needed for the job at hand!

This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Charsy is such a nice and sweet person. Our dog looked so happy after the walks. She always kept me updated and made the experience to be a 10/10. She treated our dog so good and with a lot of kindness.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on some acreage which allowed my family to be able to house dogs ranging from toy fox terriers to big burly St. Bernard's with all kind of barn/house cats along side them. I have worked as a Veterinarian Assistant for 3 years and continued my animal journey by acquiring an Animal Science Degree. Over the years I have cared for animals on the side to supplement my love for them and now I can finally try for full time under my business Animal Wrangler, LLC! During my time as a Veterinarian Assistant I have gained experience administering several different kinds of medications to dogs, cats, and farm animals. As mentioned in my bio I do farm sit as well. I have cared for horses growing up and have experience with goats, cattle, alpacas, llamas, pigs, and several other exotic animals. Please feel free to send farm inquiries through to me as well. I'm currently a stay at home wife so I am available most of the time as long as I have ample heads up to get you on the schedule. I have experience with a wide variety of animals that have a wide variety of jobs! With the dogs I can provide walks, play time, and even work some working dogs. I do have a vehicle that I can take dogs to parks and places to swim. For the cats I really leave it up to them! I can read cat body language well so I will take the playtime at their pace, if that pace includes walks in the park then I am down to clown.

About: I am a full-time online college student working to finish my degree this year. I love animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I can work weekends and holidays as well as everyday whenever i’m needed. I have one service animal living in my apartment but am prepared for any baths, medications, or cuddles needed for yours! I can also crate your furry friend if preferred. I am a full-time college student taking classes online so I will be available whenever I’m needed in person! I am also available for same-day appointments. I can crate your dog when needed but I’m there to give them as much as attention as they want and can easily follow care instructions.

About: I have owned animals since I was a small child, now grown I have a house full of pets that I call my own. I often pet sit for friends and family. Animals need to feel safe and cared and I will strive to bring those to your home each visit. I have experience across the spectrum of animals and all stages of life from needy pups to the "grumpy" ole men and woman. I also have experience providing oral medications. I'm currently available for pet care services throughout the day. I am available 7 am - 3:30 pm Monday - Thursday, 9 am - 10 pm Friday - Sunday. I will not be providing boarding services in my home but I am able to visit your home as much as necessary to take care of your pets, including in home visits. I have 3 kids and a husband who may assist in the visits but will never be the primary care giver to the animals. My kids have taken after me and love helping and meeting new animals. If you would not like the extra help please let me know and I will not bring them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Austin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 407 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Austin. 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 Austin. 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 Austin.

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 Austin. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
