About: I've always had a special place in my heart for animals, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every furry friend like part of my own family, giving them plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and affection. Whether it's an energetic puppy needing extra attention or a senior pet who enjoys a slower pace and gentle care, I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, reliability, and commitment to giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, love, and attention to caring for your pets. I'm available any time of the day, 7 days a week, including weekends and some holidays. Whether your furry family member needs daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or extra companionship, I can easily accommodate their needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy spending my time making sure animals feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away! Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether caring for your furry family member in my home or yours, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and special needs, so I make sure to follow your instructions closely. From feeding schedules and potty breaks to walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also respect your home and belongings, keeping everything clean, safe, and secure. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet, giving you complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring, dependable hands!

About: I've had all manner of pets during my life, being the primary caretaker of cats and dogs in the home since a very young age, dogs and cats being my favorite due to their playful nature. Now that my kids are getting older and wanting more pets in our home (we have 1 cat), I'd like to teach them responsibility and pet care by petsitting and walking dogs. Plus with all their energy and love, kids make the perfect friend for energetic dogs that love to play. My cat would also love a playmate, as he grew up with a big dog and misses having a friend! I currently work from home, so I could use the company and breaks to go outside and take walks just as much as your furry best friend! I have a large yard perfect for playing fetch and a big house so pups won't feel cramped. My kids are full of energy and would love a an energetic dog to play with or even an old dog to pour lots of love into with petting and belly rubs in abundance.

About: I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, from energetic puppies that need extra playtime to older dogs that prefer slow walks and sticking to a routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up accidents, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust instead of forcing interactions. Whether your pet loves to play fetch, go on long walks, or just relax with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and give updates while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school, and I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet always receives reliable, attentive care. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, and any house rules. I take time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their body language, and keep a calm, clean environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I’ve had pets in my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always felt like second nature to me. I’m attentive, patient, and big on the little details—whether that means sticking closely to your pet’s routine, learning their quirks, giving them extra attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have years of experience in customer service and interior design, which has made me incredibly detail-oriented, communicative, and respectful of other people’s homes. I know trusting someone with your pet—and your space—is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m also a photographer at heart, so you can expect plenty of genuinely good photo updates while you’re gone! Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible until you’re home again. I currently work part-time with a set schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to plan pet care around my work hours. My availability can vary depending on your pet’s needs, so I’m always happy to communicate about timing, routines, and responsibilities before booking. I primarily offer drop-in visits and overnight care in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m also available for walks while the weather is mild and comfortable for both me and your pet. I currently allow bookings and cancellations up to three days in advance, and I’m happy to discuss specific hours or care needs to make sure we’re a good fit. I believe pets are most comfortable when their routine and environment stay as familiar as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as I can, along with any household-specific instructions you provide. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, surroundings, and any behavioral or health concerns you’ve shared with me. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave your space just as I found it. I’m a big communicator and would much rather ask a question than make an assumption about your pet’s care. You can expect regular updates and photos, and I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s personality, quirks, boundaries, and specific needs beforehand so everyone feels comfortable.

About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my childhood and I just love how they are. I have had experiences with many dogs throughout my life. They’re so cute I love them all. I currently don’t have a job right now but I am looking for one. I start my day early so I have free time! I only have one dog now. Her name is Luna, she’s been my baby since she was literally a baby. She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Central Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Central Gardens. 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 Central Gardens. 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 Central Gardens 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 Central Gardens. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
