About: I’ve taken care of dogs large and small since I was eleven years old! Including my own, such as Irish Setters, Jack Russell’s, and Corgis. I understand how to handle dogs of all temperaments, from little pups to old timers, and am able to adapt quickly to give the best care to each dog! I’m currently working full time, so I’m desperate to get involved with some animals more often. I’m available in the mornings before work, and in the evenings after! Whatever your need, I can do! I understand most people have different preferences when it comes to their pets, and I totally understand that! I can assist in crate training, walking, letting out in the yard if you have one, and whatever other specifications you have to make sure your pet is happy as can be!

“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”

About: Hello! My name is Abigail. I am a calm, observant, and deeply reliable pet and house sitter specializing in providing a peaceful, structured environment for your animals and complete peace of mind for your home. While I am a dedicated beginner on this platform, my life has been rooted in a deep love and respect for animals. I grew up in a household where we lovingly cared for both a family dog and a family cat. Through that personal experience, I understand firsthand that pets are not just animals—they are family members who thrive on consistent routines, clear boundaries, and nurturing, empathetic care. I approach pet care with a quiet, steady energy. I have always been naturally drawn to animals, and I excel at reading their non-verbal cues to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pet requires high-energy tracking on daily walks or simply a quiet, gentle presence to sit with them in their space, I adapt my approach entirely to match their unique personality and baseline needs. What I Bring to Your Home and Pets: * Meticulous Attention to Detail: I take your specific, daily care instructions seriously. From precise feeding schedules to maintaining your pet's exact exercise routines, I ensure everything is executed exactly as requested. * Home Security & Grounded Reliability: As a clean, quiet, and highly respectful independent professional, I maintain your property lines with absolute care. I keep your living space immaculate, respect your privacy, and ensure your home remains secure and peaceful. * Empathetic & Attentive Communication: I know how deeply you miss your animals when you are away. I provide clear, steady, and consistent updates and photos according to your preferences so you always know your pets are thriving. I am looking forward to connecting with you, honoring your household boundaries, and treating your beloved pets with the highest standard of quiet respect and care. I’m committed to having pet care be a big part of my weekly routine. I’m eager to dive into house/pet sitting, so my daily/weekly routines definitely have space for bookings. I provide clear, steady, and consistent updates and photos according to your preferences so you always know your pets are thriving. I am looking forward to connecting with you, honoring your household boundaries, and treating your beloved pets with the highest standard of quiet respect and care.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, so caring for animals has been part of my life for 35 years. I currently have dogs of my own and am comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced with cats, birds, reptiles, and other small pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pets, and I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have four dogs of my own, and I walk all four every day. We also visit a nearby dog park a couple of times a week for extra exercise, play, and enrichment. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and walks throughout the day. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way they’re accustomed to. I take safety seriously on walks and during drop-in visits, including securely closing doors and gates and keeping dogs leashed whenever required. I’m comfortable with multiple-pet households and pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ll also provide photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a beautiful dog of my own who means the world to me. Having a dog myself has taught me how important patience, attention, and genuine care are. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine since I have pets of my own. I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so their safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, keep a close eye on your dog during walks and visits, and make sure they have everything they need. I’ll also respect your home and your dog’s usual routine so they feel as comfortable as possible.

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience caring for young, energetic pets and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable with pets that need extra attention or a calmer environment. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home most days, so pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available throughout the day to provide consistent attention, care, walks, and supervision. I have a large fenced yard. I also have plenty of toys for them. I do have small friendly dogs that love to play. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for, with fresh water, safe spaces, and plenty of attention.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and have been around dogs since I was about seven years old. I also spent time every week on my family's farm, where I became comfortable around many different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cows, bunnies, turtles, chickens, and ducks. Throughout my life, I've cared for multiple dogs of my own and have also pet sat for friends and family. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining established routines, and reinforcing basic training such as sit, stay, come, leash manners, and house-training habits. Growing up around animals taught me to pay attention to their individual personalities and boundaries. I know that some dogs want to play immediately, while others need patience and time before they feel comfortable with someone new. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I care for. I'll follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep your dog's routine consistent, safe, and enjoyable while you're away. My schedule is flexible, with my strongest availability from Sunday through Wednesday for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I'm also open to longer stays and recurring bookings during those days. Thursday and Friday availability may vary, but I can sometimes accommodate evening or overnight care if a later arrival works for your pet's routine. Weekend requests may also be possible depending on the dates and your pet's needs. Feel free to reach out with your schedule—I’m happy to see if we can find a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to keep their environment and routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, training, sleeping arrangements, and any household rules. I take time to learn each pet's personality, energy level, boundaries, and normal behavior rather than assuming every animal should be handled the same way. I'll reinforce the commands and routines you already use instead of introducing unnecessary changes while you're away. I also understand that trusting someone with your pet means trusting them with your home. I treat both with respect, keep the areas I use clean and organized, secure doors and entrances carefully, and communicate if anything unusual happens. During visits or overnight stays, I can provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing and can feel confident that they're safe, comfortable, and receiving attention.

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!

Gabrielle is a fantastic dog walker. When my pup doesn’t want to take a long walk Gabrielle makes sure to do scent work and she does training sessions. So far they’ve learned down and to shake with either paw. Thanks for taking such good care of my dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Garden City South on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $44 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 27,595 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Garden City South. 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 South. 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 Garden City South 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 Garden City South. 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 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.
