About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from guinea pigs to elderly dogs. I am a graduate from the University of Michigan and am studying at Tufts for the next two years. I dog sat after school for a while and took care of puppies, elderly pets, and bunnies. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am busy on Wednesdays, but my weekends and others days of the week are much more flexible. Afternoons are always best but I can make things work! I cannot provide pet care in my home, but I can come to you! I have experience helping older dogs, active, large dogs, giving dogs and cats medication, trimming claws, and going on runs or walks.

About: I am now working part time giving me the flexibility to give your dog companionship and exercise while you are away! We can play outside in our large back yard. Our yard is not fenced, however we do have a boundary collar(invisible fence).Our home is in the country near a great dog park and Hartley making walks plesent and fun. I love brushing and bathing dogs so let me know if that something your pet needs. I would love to spend time with your dog. My family would make sure to provide plenty of play time, snooze time, and bathroom breaks. My schedule can be fairly flexible, but I can organize a set schedule for your pet also. I am available during the week most mornings and every the afternoon to take your dog for a walk to break up his/her day. I have a large back yard. My three children would give snuggles and tire your pup out during the day. If you have a less social dog I also have a quiet place for your pet to relax. I am working part time. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30-4:00. My summer hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 8:30am-12:00pm. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday I would be home all day. My schedule allows me to be available to care for your pet and give the plenty of my time and attention. We love dogs and have two of our own. They are part of our family. We would treat your pet as part of our family while they stayed with us. Message me for any additional information or questions you may have.

About: I have owned and loved dogs all of my adult life and recently became a cat lover. I currently have no animals and would love to share my caring nature with one or more of your pets. Not ready right now for another pet, but watching over furry friends for others will certainly help to fill my void until I am ready to adopt another cat or dog. At this time I am home full-time and my hours are very flexible. If I am available I don't mind last minute requests. Dog walking is a great exercise and I love to just be around animals-I have none right now. My home is very pet friendly. No pets at home right now so no concerns about how two sets of animals might get along and your pet will get all of my attention. No children in the home either. I have a large yard-though not fenced. My neighborhood is a bit rural but close to town. I work part time during summer months. That seasonal job has ended and I have no work commitments right now. Looking for animals to care for. I provide a loving and safe environment for pets. Have cared for my own dogs and cats over the years. Currently have no pets and would be happy to offer my pet free home to your animals. I am missing my own but the time is not yet right for another pet for me.

About: I have always had fit babies growing up and love them all. Why leave them alone when they can have someone to play with all day I am unemployed right now so I have all the time to focus on caring for your fur babies. It's better for them to be entertained than to be caged out tripping up your home.... Right. I have a fenced in yard. Plenty of toys.... And a friendly little boxer who loves me friends. Oh and she also has a human sister too 😂.

Max took great care of our dog, Jax. Spent time with him inside and played with him outside on a rainy day, and took him on a nice long walk in better weather! Good updates and photos of our dog. Would love having Max see him again when we need it!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Garfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 327 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Garfield. 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 Garfield. 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 Garfield.

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 Garfield. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
