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: Hello! My name is Hannah. I have a 2 year old professionally trained black lab/German shepherd mix named Ziggy that weighs about 50 lbs. He has been raised around children in our neighborhood and is very well socialized. I've had dogs growing up my entire life and prior to my current dog, I rescued a black lab/pit bull mix that lived 15 wonderful years. I feel passionately that my dog is my family and I understand wanting to leave your baby in the care of someone who will take care of them like you do. I'm the go-to person for my friends when they need someone to watch their animals. I've had experience with boxers, rottweilers, yorkies, chihuahuas, (puppy and senior) and everything in between. After many years, I decided to go back to school to get my Master's in Humanitarian Law. I'm currently on a break from studying because I need to make the money I need to finish my degree. My husband has recently retired and we have been enjoying spending our days with Ziggy in the interim. Taking care of animals allows me to work a flexible schedule and enjoy my time with my family before I go back to school. We frequently take Ziggy swimming, for hikes, and to play with his favorite toy (Chuck-It). Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Our days currently revolve around my husband and I's dog Ziggy. We typically work in our garden, are working on decluttering our house, and are enjoying trying new recipes. We take Ziggy to exercise for at least an hour every day (whether that's walking, swimming, or playing fetch). Our dog is part of our family - he is allowed on the furniture and has a large collection of well-loved toys. We typically work on maintenance training during exercise and meal times. Ziggy knows how to place, shake, sit, and lay down on command (most of the time). We use a gentle lead when walking Ziggy to avoid pulling. Ziggy can be a bit spoiled with his food and sometimes needs a treat in the mix to entice him to eat. In our neighborhood, my husband has known all our neighbors for over 20 years. We bought our home in 2019 to be close to those neighbors and to have a community. While we have a fence that closes off our front yard/street, we took down the fence separating us from our neighbors to encourage that sense of community. On a typical day, we will let Ziggy out in the backyard and look up to see him playing with the neighborhood children (around age 5) out in the backyard. My brother and best friend rent rooms in our house and also love Ziggy dearly. There is a 5 year old cat that is an indoor/outdoor cat. He mostly keeps to himself but is very comfortable around dogs. If watching a dog at your house, I'm comfortable with a long list of requests for care. I'm comfortable administering medication, following a special diet, and/or doing anything that's needed to follow your pet's routine and make them most comfortable. I'm happy to meet ahead of any pet sitting requests if you would like to meet me and introduce me to your pet ahead of your departure. I'm happy to send updates/pictures as often as needed. Although I have the list pretty much memorized, I do keep a list of all foods and essential oils that are toxic to dogs. I've been around a variety of dog personalities and don't mind being patient with dogs that may be more anxious or prone to separation anxiety.

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 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'm Julian, a proud dog dad looking for more canine companions! I’ve had my dogs Lulu for over 13 years and Batman for over 1 year. They are members of my family, just like your dog is for you! I'd love to help you and your furry friend and we will both welcome them to our home. Lulu, Batman and I love going to the dog park to meet other dogs. When your dog is in my care, I will treat them like my own! There's nothing like seeing a wagging tail and happy smile on the face of a dog you're caring for. I promise to make sure that your dog is healthy, happy and comfortable while you're away. Exercise is important to me and I don't rest until the dog is worn out, making sure we both sleep great at night. When you book with me, you can rest assured that you're leaving your dog in the hands of someone both experienced and loving. Your dog will be begging for another visit once they meet me, my wife, Lulu and Batman! P.S. I have once lived with a cat for 4 years and am also comfortable taking care of your feline.

Pecan Springs Springdale, Austin, TX, 78723

About: I grew up in a dog-loving family and have been surrounded by dogs for most of my life. Although I was afraid of dogs when I was little, overcoming that fear gave me an even greater appreciation for them. Caring for dogs has become something I truly enjoy, and I’ve gained experience with their daily routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. A few years ago, I also became a cat mom in the most unexpected way when my cat, Lola, found me and became part of my family. Caring for both a dog and a cat has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm and familiar routine, I’ll provide patient, attentive care tailored to them. My family dog, Ruby, now lives with my parents, so I miss having a dog by my side every day. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful dogs and cats while giving owners peace of mind, knowing their pets will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I work full time 7-4, so I am available after 4 on weekdays, and available on weekends to come over and take care of your babies! I want to make your pet as happy as possible when you are away. I love to be outside with them and take them on walks, or just hangout in the house and play as well!

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 take care of dogs since I was little, mainly Dobermans! My commitment to personalized care and attention for every dog I sit.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 6,579 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:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
