About: I’m a great animal sitter because I treat every pet like family. With years of hands-on experience caring for my 17-year-old chihuahua, Choco, I’ve developed a strong sense of patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how to adjust care routines based on an animal’s age, energy level, and unique needs. Whether it’s keeping them company, maintaining feeding schedules, or simply making sure they feel loved and secure, I bring genuine care and responsibility to every visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am a student, I plan my day around any pet-sitting responsibilities, ensuring pets are fed, walked, and cared for according to their usual routines. Whether it’s morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening feedings, I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and affection they need. Message me for further questions! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. During check-ins, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and receive any necessary medications. I take time to give them affection, play, or simply company—whatever they need to feel secure while their owner is away.
“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!!”

“Juan was excellent with our dog, Tina. Communication was great throughout the entire experience. He kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Tina was well cared for and comfortable with him. We truly appreciated his reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Juan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I'm a local Austinite who grew up always having a dog in the house and currently have three dogs who spend their days hiking through the greenbelt and exploring the great outdoors. I've had extensive experience dogsitting with dogs of all shapes and sizes and have no problem with multiple, long walks each day to make sure the dog is getting the appropriate amount of exercise. I have also volunteered many hours for Austin Pets Alive and fully support their mission to help the struggling animals in our city. Whether you have a big dog who needs to be tuckered out while you're away at work or a little pup who just needs to be let out and given some quality attention, I'd be happy to help!
About: I’ve taken care of and cherished animals since childhood. There is nothing I love more than being a responsible pet owner and caretaker, making my own or other’s animals feel loved and special is what I do! I have taken care of a plethora of dog breeds, senior pups, and many cats as well. I will love yours like my own! I currently have my own pet that I care for daily, of course, but I am a graduate student and have a fairly open schedule, especially on weeknights and weekends. My cat lives the high life, as many of my friends and family would describe it. I care so deeply about animals of all varieties feeling safe, nurtured, and respected. I am also great with direction, so your standard of care for your pet will always be met and exceeded.

About: Being honest, it has always been incredibly easy for me to connect with pets, especially dogs. I now have a 2 year old shihtzu who I absolutely adore and spoil every day. Sometimes I feel like he needs a little brother or a friend to play with, and even when I’m out with him, you’ll still catch me trying to pet every dog we pass. I simply love them deeply. Before having him, I had a Chihuahua for 13 years, and she taught me so much about unconditional love. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs whenever they needed help. One moment that really showed me how naturally I bond with dogs was during a family beach trip, we found a big Boxer in the backyard who barked nonstop and scared everyone away. I was the only one who tried to approach him calmly and understand him. After spending time talking to him through the fence, he eventually trusted me enough to let me pet him. Soon after, I was able to go into the yard with him, and he turned out to be the sweetest dog. My family was shocked at how naturally and confidently I connected with him. That experience, among many others, made me realize how much I truly understand dogs, their fears, their excitement, their need for love, and how much joy it brings me to care for them. I am a person that love to exercise, love to go out in walks, hiking and also I love to wake up early. I think that a weekly pet routine would be like a peace time for me. I live in an apartment with my husband and our sweet shihtzu. I’m very flexible and always follow any rules or routines you have: feeding times, portions, walks, medication, anything your pet needs. I’m also happy to do a quick free meet-and-greet beforehand so you can feel completely comfortable and confident with me taking care of your treasure!
“Alissa was so good with my Abel. She responded very quickly to our walk request and came to meet him ahead of time. I really appreciate her taking the time as Abel can be scared with certain people. She kept me well informed and I was so happy with her care and communication.”

About: Hey everyone! I'm Olivia, and I've been caring for dogs, cats, and just about every little furry friend you can imagine for over 10 years now! I've always been the one convincing my family to take in or rescue every animal that crossed our path. At one point, my home was practically a little pet zoo, and I loved every second of it! Now I know how nerve racking it can be to trust someone new with your pet, especially when they're such an important part of your family. That's why I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident knowing your baby is in loving, attentive hands. I promise to treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and genuine love that I would give my own. Whether it's making sure they feel comfortable, sticking to their usual routines, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping you updated while you're away, I want both you and your pet to have the best experience possible. My goal is to make your life a little easier and give you one less thing to worry about. Your pet's happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my priority, and I would be so grateful for the opportunity to care for them! Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about me. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I'm currently a college student and work part time at H-E-B, but luckily, my schedule leaves me with plenty of time to dedicate to your furry little ones! Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busy days with school and work, but I'm completely free Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! This gives me lots of flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs, whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company while you're away. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so caring for your babies is something I look forward to, not just something I fit into my schedule! Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first with me, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and your furry family members, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I'll always follow your pet's usual routines, respect their individual needs and boundaries, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I'm also happy to provide pictures and updates throughout our time together so you can feel reassured knowing your baby is being well cared for. My goal is to make every visit a positive, stress free experience for both you and your pet!

About: Dogs have been a central part of my life since I was 7 years old. I grew up caring for both Cocker Spaniels and German Shepherds, so I know what it takes to care for energetic, intelligent, and strong-willed dogs! I have also helped a few shelters back in Russia so I'm comfortable managing different temperaments, and I tailor my care to fit each dog’s needs. I treat every dog like they’re part of my pack, and my goal is always to make your pup feel safe, seen, and loved while you're away. I'm pretty flexible right now as my only responsibility is my school so whether it's daily drop-ins, evening walks, or weekend sitting, I’ll make sure your pup gets the attention and care they need. If you need morning times just message me and we can work something out. In your home, I aim to keep your dog’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet gets personalized care: walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship.
About: With 3 years of pet care experience, I've watched and walked dogs of all sizes and ages. At home, I have my own young pup, so I'm happy to match your dog's energy—active walks or relaxed couch time." My schedule is wide open right now, so I can offer flexible availability for any walks, drop-ins, or sitting—including weekdays, evenings, and last-minute requests. :) I don't have a private yard, but my apartment complex offers plenty of space, and I'm close to great parks like Zilker for walks and playtime. At home, my own senior cat is calm and sleeps most of the day, while my pup is energetic but well crate trained, so your pet will be in a safe, comfortable environment.

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 Garfield. 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 Garfield 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 Garfield. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
