About: Since I was about 7 years old I grew up taking care of 3 daschunds. I was taught to take them outside and play with them. I also snuggled up with them when they needed it. I also grew up with ton of cats from changing the litter box to cuddling them. My husband grew up with two dogs since we was a kid. Since he’s been in the army he’s helped dog sit his units dogs and loved doing it. He would house sit and drop in on them when possible. Right now it’s just me (Tania) so I’m free as can be but with a two year old My husband and I do this together, he’s active duty military so it’s all depends on his schedule. We do have a son he was born June 21st,2024 so one of us has to stay with him at all times. We also have 3 dogs of our own to take care of but their schedules are flexible. We currently on board cats due our dogs being fear reactive towards other dogs. We will cuddle and hold them if they are only comfortable with it. We do have a cat tree that belonged to our cat who passed away in May of this year. They have to be okay with dogs because we have three of our own. They also have to be okay with babies or kids because we have a son.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every dog. I know pets are family, so I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I can make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I understand how important consistency is, and I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect I would give my own.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt
About: As a dedicated animal lover and cat mom, I bring extensive hands-on experience in pet care. I began volunteering in local animal shelters early on and have remained committed to supporting animals ever since. I have fostered cats and dogs with a wide range of needs, including pets with medical conditions, animals requiring medication, young kittens, puppies, and seniors. This has given me strong skills in handling pets with different temperaments, personalities, and care requirements. I am comfortable with pets of any size, breed, or behavior—including those who may be a little “spicy.” Caring for animals is truly my passion, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Your fur baby’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I am also flexible and adaptable to each pet’s routine, understanding that feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and daily needs vary from pet to pet. I am more than willing to follow whatever structure works best for them. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule because I am highly organized and flexible. I’m currently a full-time student, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and any other care your pet may need. I would love to meet your fur baby before pet sitting so we can get to know each other! I’ll let them approach me at their own pace, giving them space to sniff and explore until they feel comfortable. Once I get a sense of their personality and comfort level, I’ll spend time building a strong, trusting bond. I am fully comfortable providing services such as bathing, nail trimming, and administering medications. I will follow your schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and outdoor time, making sure your pet’s routine is maintained. Most importantly, I’ll give your pet plenty of love, attention, and care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cherished while you’re away.
“Apphia did a wonderful job! She communicated very well & offered or did things for my two fur babies that I didn’t even ask for. She was very intuitive & got to know their personalities, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her :)”
About: I have grow up with all kinds of Pets. I live on a bunch of land and I love to go for walks. My family always have me go and pet/house sit for them when they go on vacations. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I go to school online so I’m always home. My child loves to go on walks, so I’m always going on walks. I do not have any rules about animals on furniture because I love to cuddle them. I will let them out, feed them, take them on walks, make sure they have water, and love on them when I’m not doing anything
About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence
About: I have been in the veterinary setting since I was sixteen and I've been a veterinary technician for a couple years now! I am now focusing on the most important thing in life which is family and I would love to take care of your fur babies when you need it! I am a certified forehead kisser and a great conversationalist with the non-speaking, I do not discriminate on personality and/or breed. I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gatesville is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $16 per walk.

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 Gatesville. 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 Gatesville 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.

- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
