About: Hello! My name is Hannah. I have a 2 year old professionally trained black lab/German shepherd mix named Ziggy that weighs about 50 lbs. He has been raised around children in our neighborhood and is very well socialized. I've had dogs growing up my entire life and prior to my current dog, I rescued a black lab/pit bull mix that lived 15 wonderful years. I feel passionately that my dog is my family and I understand wanting to leave your baby in the care of someone who will take care of them like you do. I'm the go-to person for my friends when they need someone to watch their animals. I've had experience with boxers, rottweilers, yorkies, chihuahuas, (puppy and senior) and everything in between. After many years, I decided to go back to school to get my Master's in Humanitarian Law. I'm currently on a break from studying because I need to make the money I need to finish my degree. My husband has recently retired and we have been enjoying spending our days with Ziggy in the interim. Taking care of animals allows me to work a flexible schedule and enjoy my time with my family before I go back to school. We frequently take Ziggy swimming, for hikes, and to play with his favorite toy (Chuck-It). Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Our days currently revolve around my husband and I's dog Ziggy. We typically work in our garden, are working on decluttering our house, and are enjoying trying new recipes. We take Ziggy to exercise for at least an hour every day (whether that's walking, swimming, or playing fetch). Our dog is part of our family - he is allowed on the furniture and has a large collection of well-loved toys. We typically work on maintenance training during exercise and meal times. Ziggy knows how to place, shake, sit, and lay down on command (most of the time). We use a gentle lead when walking Ziggy to avoid pulling. Ziggy can be a bit spoiled with his food and sometimes needs a treat in the mix to entice him to eat. In our neighborhood, my husband has known all our neighbors for over 20 years. We bought our home in 2019 to be close to those neighbors and to have a community. While we have a fence that closes off our front yard/street, we took down the fence separating us from our neighbors to encourage that sense of community. On a typical day, we will let Ziggy out in the backyard and look up to see him playing with the neighborhood children (around age 5) out in the backyard. My brother and best friend rent rooms in our house and also love Ziggy dearly. There is a 5 year old cat that is an indoor/outdoor cat. He mostly keeps to himself but is very comfortable around dogs. If watching a dog at your house, I'm comfortable with a long list of requests for care. I'm comfortable administering medication, following a special diet, and/or doing anything that's needed to follow your pet's routine and make them most comfortable. I'm happy to meet ahead of any pet sitting requests if you would like to meet me and introduce me to your pet ahead of your departure. I'm happy to send updates/pictures as often as needed. Although I have the list pretty much memorized, I do keep a list of all foods and essential oils that are toxic to dogs. I've been around a variety of dog personalities and don't mind being patient with dogs that may be more anxious or prone to separation anxiety.
About: I grew up in a dog-loving family and have been surrounded by dogs for most of my life. Although I was afraid of dogs when I was little, overcoming that fear gave me an even greater appreciation for them. Caring for dogs has become something I truly enjoy, and I’ve gained experience with their daily routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. A few years ago, I also became a cat mom in the most unexpected way when my cat, Lola, found me and became part of my family. Caring for both a dog and a cat has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm and familiar routine, I’ll provide patient, attentive care tailored to them. My family dog, Ruby, now lives with my parents, so I miss having a dog by my side every day. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful dogs and cats while giving owners peace of mind, knowing their pets will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I work full time 7-4, so I am available after 4 on weekdays, and available on weekends to come over and take care of your babies! I want to make your pet as happy as possible when you are away. I love to be outside with them and take them on walks, or just hangout in the house and play as well!
About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. I have great experience in caring for and training dogs. I trained my late dog, Nova, from a puppy to be crate trained, walking on and off leash, and even to do acrobatic frisbee tricks. And as she aged, I was very caring for her elderly needs. I am very flexible with my availability to board. Can be gone some night for gathering with friends and family, but typically don't stray too far from home. I have a fenced-in yard with lots of shade, toys to play with, and a spare room for the dogs' safe and comfortable space. Don't worry I make sure they get all the attention they need.
“Josie was great to work with! She was very kind, was always on time, and took good care of my dog. She also accommodated a last minute schedule change, which we really appreciated.”
“Juan was able to adjust the time of the walk based on the weather which was super helpful! Miller had a great time on his walk and was waiting by the door afterwards to go again. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Laura was amazing! She always sent me great updates and adorable pictures of my pups. They both adored her and I can’t wait to have her watch or walk my pups in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m based in Northeast Austin and a lifelong dog lover. 🐾 I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also have a dog of my own who is truly my pride and joy, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I’m home full-time, your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day; no long stretches alone. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like part of the family. 💕 I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! My schedule is open throughout the week and weekend. I’m available between the hours of 8:00am - 8:30 pm. Can be flexible if needed! :) I am very respectful and caring. I will follow any rules or directions you have for me while caring for your pets. They will be treated like they are apart of the family!
About: I’ve been walking dogs and Pet Sitting in Austin for the past year and I’ve gained a great amount of experience with a wide range of pets and their care takers. I love making new furry friends! I am a first grade teacher during the school year but I walk and pet sit during my breaks and weekends. I’m on summer break currently and have ample amounts of free time. I care for pets in my home and others home as if they were my own pets. I give them the utmost care, attention, kindness and love as I would if they were my fur baby and a friend.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My own beloved dog recently passed away at 16 years old, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for a pet. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I truly miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to care for yours when you can’t be there. I’m reliable and committed to making sure every pet feels well cared for in my home. I love spending time with animals and can easily incorporate them into my daily routine. Them being well cared for is my prioritization. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can provide attentive care, plenty of potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I am also quite active, so if the pet needs long walks, they are perfect for my daily walks! Any type of pet fits in my life, from an energetic puppy who needs extra activity to a senior dog or cat who prefers a slower pace. My priority is always making pets feel comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and any special care instructions so I can minimize stress.
About: - I love pets and I love photography and I would love to surprise you with some high resolution portrait photography of your pets while helping to take care of them for you! - I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was just a wee lad & I have owned and trained two dogs myself! I once looked after 11 puppies and their mamma for over a week! I have recently moved to Austin, TX and I am working as a freelance photographer! This means my hours are more open than most people with more contemporary jobs, and it means your pets will be able to see me possibly even more often than they would normally see you! I have experience cooking specialized pet cuisine for sensitive stomachs and dietary restrictions (my dog ate home-cooked meals), I love walks and pet play time, and I respect your pet's boundaries.
“Wow! What a great experience with Lakeisha! She was on time, Sat and talked to me about her history…very friendly, asked question about my dog, the whole 9 yards! My 90- pound dog really took to Keisha. She took him on a 30-minute walk and sent video while they walked. He was a well- behaved, happy to be on a walk dog!! I think she and my dog made an instant connect. He was happy when he got back and so was I. Lakeisha will be here 3 days a week and my pup and I look forward to it! I highly recommend Lakeisha!!”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and love taking care of animals of all kinds and temperaments. Additionally, I have 5 years of volunteer experience with dogs, cats, and livestock in a shelter setting. I have worked with senior dogs, dogs with medical needs (including injectable medications), and behavioral challenges. I am currently a stay at home mom and available for pet care 24/7. I typically take my own dog on 2 walks a day and do not leave him home alone longer than a couple hours. I have a fenced yard, crate if needed, and a friendly 70 lb dog who loves company. I would love to have your dogs or cats join us for a stay! For boarding clients— I do have chickens in my backyard in a secure fenced area not accessible to the dogs. Most dogs are fine with this but I am unable to take dogs that are reactive to small animals as it is too stressful for them.
About: I've raised dogs since childhood. Experienced with all sizes, seniors, and medication needs. I'm a true animal lover and care for them like family. You can trust! I work from home and have full availability every day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long, as I rarely go out and only for quick errands. My home has a fenced backyard, space for crates if preferred, and there is a dog park in my neighborhood for fun and safe playtime!

Megan was the best! She accepted a few walks for our dog fairly last minute, was very responsive and reliable! Griz absolutely loved her and it seems like had a great time together :) she took him on long walks, sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout! Highly recommend!! Thanks Megan!
Linda has been so wonderful with my Sam! She’s a great, fast communicator and she’s been so flexible with our schedule. Sam can be a stubborn shih tzu and she’s worked with him wonderfully - even brought a stroller on a rainy day and saved the day! I would definitely recommend her to a friend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Daffan on Rover is $18.87 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 6,856 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Daffan. 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 Daffan. 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 Daffan.

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 Daffan. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
