About: Hi. Send me a message and let me know how I can help! I have had dogs all of my life and enjoy spending time with mans best friend. I currently have one lab/pit mix and would get a dozen more if I could! I have experience with many different types of pets and I’m happy to help out with whoever you have at home. In the past I’ve cared for: rabbits, chickens, fish, turtles, cats and dogs! I work from home some days so I have the flexibility to come walk, pet, feed, potty and watch after you pup as needed through the day. You tell me what would make your pet happy and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I work only with friendly dogs. High energy is fine as that is what I have at home! I am accepting bookings for boarding, drop-ins, and house sitting.

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including energetic pets that need active walks and playtime, as well as shy or older pets that need a calmer approach and extra patience. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, cleanliness, and making sure pets feel relaxed and loved. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy building trust with animals. I’m reliable, communicative, and I treat every pet like family. I also understand how important updates are for pet parents, so I make sure to send photos and messages so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I’m very attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s personality and needs. I live in a nice apartment community with plenty of green areas for walks and a dog park nearby, which is great for exercise and outdoor time. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, creating a safe and relaxing environment for pets to feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. That’s why I take the time to get to know them and create a comfortable, stress-free environment whether I’m walking, sitting, or dropping in. I’m also happy to administer medications, follow special diets, or keep up with training cues you’re working on. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’ve structured my schedule to be flexible so I can give each pet my full attention, whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. I’m usually up early and keep my calendar open for pet care bookings throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. What to Expect: ✅ Daily updates with photos and notes ✅ Flexible scheduling ✅ Clean, respectful care of your home ✅ Emergency preparedness & basic pet first aid knowledge ✅ Bonded & insured (if applicable) I know how important it is to feel confident and relaxed when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. Let’s set up a meet & greet—I’d love to learn more about your furry friend and how I can help.

About: I am an avid animal lover who has seven dogs and two cats of her own. I love taking care of all animals and giving them the best life they can possibly have. All of my animals have had different personalities, so I know how to deal with all different types of animals and adjust to their needs. I’ve also fostered a number of dogs and am patient working with dogs that come from a variety of backgrounds and quirks! I am currently working remotely full-time, so I have the ability to hang out and play with the animals all day! I can keep an eye on all of them throughout the day and bring them outside to play or hang out in the fenced yard! I have a fenced yard, a gate to cover any stairs in case the animal cannot be near stairs, plenty of animal beds, food bowls, water, toys, etc. I also have three large dog crates if needed.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats for over seven years and currently share my home with two dogs and two cats, so I understand all the different personalities, quirks, and needs that come with each furry friend. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and energy levels and have five years of experience as a dog owner myself. I’m comfortable giving medications to both cats and dogs, keeping routines consistent, and adjusting my care style based on your pet’s unique character, whether they’re shy, playful, energetic, or a senior who prefers gentle company. Above all, I’m loving, patient, and attentive, and I treat every animal as if they’re my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I do my best to schedule them around my work meetings. I’m happy to follow your pet’s feeding, walk, and medication routines exactly as you prefer. I can’t host pets in my home due to roommates, so all of my care takes place in your pet’s own environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’m very mindful of routines and instructions, and I make sure doors, gates, and feeding schedules are always handled carefully. Since I work from home, I can coordinate visits around my work meetings and spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

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: Hey, I'm Adrianna, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up in a rural area, I was always surrounded by animals, such as dogs, cats, fish, pigs, donkeys, cows, and chickens. I often took in stray or abandoned animals, ensuring they were cared for and given the love they deserved. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past four years, providing both in-home stays and pet boarding at my place. I have fostered in the past, as well as volunteered at animal shelters, giving me experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical or anxiety needs. I know every pet has their own preferences and quirks, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable and safe. I do pet sitting full-time, so I'm always ready to be available and present with your pet! I make sure to ask detailed questions about your pet's needs to ensure I'm giving them the care they deserve. I appreciate detailed instructions about your pet’s routine, needs, and preferences. Every dog is different, and I want yours to feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. Whether your pup has specific feeding schedules, chew habits, play styles, sleep preferences, or socialization needs, I’m here to listen and adjust accordingly. No request is "too much"—you know your pet best! Expect plenty of pupdates (photo updates) and communication, so you always know how your bestie is doing. Let me know if there’s anything specific I can do to make their stay better!

About: I'm an owner of 4 dogs of different sizes, breeds, and age. Loved teaching basic commands and playing with them throughout the day. Have dog sat for friends and family, while they are away. I currently work part time from home and am able to step away several times a day in order to take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard, pretty large home where pets can be inside as well. If pet needs to be crated I can provide that as well. Neighborhood is very dog friendly and I am able to walk to a nearby park with leashed dog.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a former veterinary assistant with over two years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. During my time in a vet clinic, I assisted with animal handling, administering oral medications, nail trims, collecting lab samples, monitoring pets, and helping them feel safe and comfortable during their visits. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. My own dog has special medical needs, so I’m especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well being. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide personalized care and plenty of updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved until you return ♥️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, and medication schedules if needed. I strive to keep each pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m located just minutes from Austin-Bergstrom Airport, making drop-offs and pick-ups easy for travelers. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom home with a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get fresh air. I provide close supervision and don’t leave pets unattended for long periods, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Garfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Garfield on Rover is $22.2 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 6,564 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:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
