About: I have had a life long love of animals and have grown up with cats and dogs. In addition I am a long standing volunteer at the SFSPCA, and am trained in dog and cat care. If your pet is shy or out going I know exactly how to work with them. I am a college student with a fairly flexible schedule. As junior my course load is predictable therefor I can work with you to find a convenient care schedule. I am available to walk dogs or care for cats at your home. I have a car and can reliably get to you. When we first meet I would love to spend a little time with your pet and learn your routine in order to make them as comfortable as possible. If you are traveling for an extended period I will gladly send you pictures and keep you posted on what is going on.

I had a great experience with Sin as my dog walker! She is responsive, punctual, and incredibly gentle and sweet towards Ziggy, who clearly loved walking around the neighborhood with her. He would come home happy and often take a little nap afterward, which is a sure sign he had a great time. I’ll definitely be booking her again for weekly walks! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog walker.

Seng was awesome! She made time for a meet and greet and few days before our walks were scheduled to begin and asked all of the important questions to understand how to best care for our dog. She's very kind, upbeat and clearly loves pets. Our dog can be a weirdo with people sometimes but he very clearly loves Seng and she loves him too. She was great about sending photos and keeping us updated with each walk. I would highly recommend Seng to walk your dog!!

About: I have experience caring for pets with patience, responsibility, and genuine compassion. I provide attentive care by ensuring pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive regular walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, so I follow owners’ instructions carefully and adapt my care to each pet’s personality. My goal is to provide a loving, stress-free environment so pet owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands Taking care of pets fits easily into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I like making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own home. I follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owners. I also give them plenty of attention and companionship so they feel relaxed and happy while they are being cared for.

About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid and had one for over 16 years. Puppies, adults, older ones, big, small I like them all! I am in between jobs so I have nothing better to do than take your dog on a walk (it would give us both something to do). Depends on the dog, if yours is outgoing it's easier to breakthrough. If they're a little shy I let them come to me and win them over with pets

My dog Ozzy is a senior dog that requires specific care and Shao made sure to accommodate perfectly! Ozzy gets little panic attacks when alone for too long sometimes and at times requires medication. She used her intuition and gave him his anxiety pill because she felt that he had asthma like symptoms and was restless. When I came home he was and snoring away peacefully. She fed, walked, and made sure to even put his shoes on for the rain even though it’s a bit tricky to figure out how to put them on! I look forward to having her take care of Ozzy again in the future, def recommend if you have a senior dog or any dog for that matter! 10/10.

This is a long overdue review, but Maria is literally the best!! She’s been taking care of my dog Rado since January of this year, and she is so incredibly kind, reliable, patient, and amazing with Rado. Rado is on the more nervous and reactive spectrum, as he is a rescue from another country. Maria is able to work with his anxiety and stubbornness despite it all. If you are looking for someone to help take care of your fur baby, cannot emphasize Maria enough. She’s truly amazing! I cannot thank you enough!!

So happy to have found Marisela. She is very accommodating and flexible and showed very gentle care with my pup, which I of course adored right away. She texts me pictures, videos and lets me know when she picks my doggie up and drops her off. I know my dog is in good hands and I can go to work without worry or feeling guilty. I trust Marisela to be here for my pup and that they have a great time. Thank you!

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, having owned 6 cats and a dog over the years. I am comfortable with pets of all personalities, from the independent to the cuddly, and I understand the specific needs of both cats and dogs. My experience includes feeding, grooming, walking, and providing lots of love and attention. With my background in pet care, I’m ready to ensure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I own a dog and take him on 3 walks a day to ensure he is getting exercise and lots of love. I also have a kitten for which we have daily play and cuddle sessions! While I haven’t had experience caring for pets in someone else’s home yet, I am confident in my ability to adapt to new environments and provide the same level of care and attention as I do with my own pets. I take great care to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure, following their usual routines and respecting their space. I would ensure regular feeding, playtime, and attention while keeping their environment clean and safe. I'm excited to offer my services and look forward to the opportunity to care for your pets with the same love and dedication.

About: I've had dogs my whole life — that's 29 years of hands-on experience caring for them at every stage. Growing up around both working and non-working dogs gave me a well-rounded understanding of different breeds, temperaments, and needs. I currently have a dog of my own, so your pup will always be in the care of someone who genuinely lives and breathes this. As an added bonus, my sister is a veterinarian — so I bring not just personal experience, but a household full of professional-level knowledge when it comes to your pet's health and wellbeing. I work from home on weekdays, which means your pet is never far from someone who cares. I'm available for drop-in visits throughout the day as long as I can bring my laptop, and I'm free for walks Monday through Friday from 2:30–7pm. Weekends are more flexible, and I'm happy to house sit with advance notice. Having a work-from-home setup is honestly a perk for the pets I care for - there's always a calm, present person nearby. I'm no stranger to multi-dog households as I live with my own dog alongside my family's two dogs, so I'm comfortable managing the dynamics that come with multiple pets under one roof. I have hands-on experience with crate training and potty training, and I've cared for dogs in all kinds of setups: yards, apartments, you name it. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I actually prefer caring for dogs in their own environment as familiar surroundings mean less stress for your pet, and I'm there to keep their routine as normal as possible. It's the setup where I do my best work.

About: Hi! My name is Blessy, and I’ve always had a love for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, administering basic medications, and following specific care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’m committed to providing personalized care and attention. I currently work part time, which allows me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I am available for drop in visits, walks, and pet sitting before and after work, as well as on many weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will always do my best to accommodate their schedule and needs. I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and boundaries to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust is, and I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been helping to care for our family’s cats (feeding and litter boxes) from a very young age. I also have quite a bit of experience pet-sitting and have stayed overnight to care for friends’ pets. I will often take family or friends’ pets for walks while visiting, just because I enjoy being around animals. I am very diligent and will maintain any schedule or special instructions you might have. I do work full time from 8-4:30, Monday through Friday, but I am available in the evenings and on weekends. I do some tutoring after work but will be able to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I live in an apartment, but we do have a fenced in dog park and there are several large parks nearby. I do have a cat and dog (who are rather spoiled), but they are both quite friendly and ready to keep your pet company. My apartment is a decent size, and I strive to take my dog (a senior mini pinscher) out at least four times per day.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.

I had to book a last-minute walk after spraining my ankle and not being able to take my pup out the next morning. I reached out just a few hours before his scheduled walk and she responded almost immediately and was able to help. She was very friendly, great with my dog, and took him on a wonderful walk. I really appreciated how reliable and accommodating she was in a pinch. I would definitely book with her again!

This was her first time meeting Ozzy and she was able to care for him and provide all his needs (short walk plus fed and meds) he looked very happy and peaceful when I got home.

I needed dogwalking for my high-energy, slightly neurotic 11 yo Border Collie Sophie and was SO nervous because I hadn't ever gotten a walker before - Sophie is a bit "special handling" as all border collie owners will understand, so I just managed on my own/with occasional help from friends and family who knew my dog very well. However, I was in a last-minute pinch for a work trip and found Christal (who responded immediately with about a day of headsup, and happily discussed all of Sophie's behaviors/needs ahead of time) and all I can say is her reviews speak for itself! She was just the right fit for my lovely but weird sweet crazy border collie. I got nonstop photos and videos every single walk. Also I just can tell Christal honestly loves each and every dog she works with, it was obvious from her updates and videos. I felt so assured and absolutely am a convert - will be using her (and rover) regularly now for extra help when I need it :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Brisbane

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Brisbane on Rover is $28.86 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 11,879 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Brisbane. 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 Brisbane. 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 Brisbane.

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 Brisbane. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
