Lisa was great! She was very focused on learning every detail she could about Malcolm ahead of the walk, and even came to meet us before we confirmed. It was a nasty, cold rainy day and Lisa showed up on time, with a smile and ready to roll! We will definitely be seeing her again!

Ana did a fantastic job walking Archie. He likes short walk and then lots of play time and belly rubs. Ana was loving and caring with Archie she is also dependable. He’s always happy when Ana walks him. We can’t thank you enough with how much compassion you showed to Archie.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years. I’ve had a Britney spaniel and a cavalier King Charles spaniel. The Britney spaniel lived till she was 18 years old so I am very familiar with senior dog care and the special tasks that they require. I am currently an owner of two dogs a chocolate lab and a cava poo. The chocolate lab is seven years old and the cava poo just turned one years old. I am familiar and comfortable walking dogs of any size whether they are small and 10 pounds or 80 pounds plus. I am a teacher and I work from 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday. I am primarily available to walk dogs after work so that would be between 4:30 PM and 10 PM. I am unavailable to walk dogs currently on Monday’s and Wednesdays because I am in grad school I have class after work. I am available on the weekends all day, I have no work commitments. For my own two dogs, they get walked three times a day and fed twice a day. They have yearly vet visits, depending on what vaccines or check ups that are needed. They go to the groomer based on need, the Cava Poo goes every six weeks and the chocolate lab goes every couple months. I’ve taken care of dogs in my neighborhood and have followed their walking and care instructions to the greatest detail possible.

About: CPDT-KA since 2021, Positive Reinforcement dog trainer since 2019. I’ve had rescue dogs since I was 13. Between experiences with my own rescue dogs, working and volunteering in animal shelters, being lead supervisor at a doggie daycare/boarding facility, pet photography, and several years in the pet retail industry, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and experiences. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to help out with your four-legged friend! While my schedule varies from week to week, I always have the time to help you and your dog. I can easily crate dogs if need be, and can give medication to even the pickiest of eaters. I have no issues with getting dogs leashed, including getting them into harnesses or head-halters.

I can’t recommend Esperanza enough! She consistently goes above and beyond for my dog, Leo, taking excellent care of him with every walk. Whether it’s a regular walk or a last-minute request, Esperanza is always reliable and accommodating. It’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does. She even washes his food bowl before leaving! I’m so grateful to have found someone like her. Thank you for everything you do for Leo!

Alexis was amazing with our new puppy who is still learning how to walk, not jump, etc. She was always patient and willing to be flexible if our pup wouldn’t walk, playing with him in the yard instead. She is reliable and on time. We highly recommend Alexis!

About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈‍⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Garden City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Garden City on Rover is $33.3 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 27,130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Garden City. 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 Garden City. 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 Garden City.

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 Garden City. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
