“Julie was great! We were in Havasu for my son’s bass tournament. Had to leave the dog at the hotel room. Julie was very responsive and kind to Loki.”

About: Hi, I’m Ariyana! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised around both dogs and cats, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with pets of all ages. I enjoy working with puppies and kittens, helping reinforce good manners, basic obedience, potty training, leash skills, and positive routines. I understand that young pets require patience, consistency, and lots of encouragement, and I love being part of their learning process. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets. I’m comfortable with slower walks, administering medications (if needed), accommodating mobility limitations, following special feeding schedules, and giving older pets the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and one-on-one attention while you’re away. Communication is incredibly important to me. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I strive to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by being dependable, attentive, and treating every animal like family. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Although I work full-time, I make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s morning visits, evening care, overnight stays, or weekend availability, I’m committed to providing reliable, high-quality care. When your pet is with me, they’ll never feel like just another appointment—they’ll be treated like family. When caring for pets in your home, I know how important it is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care your pet needs. I also make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own by keeping everything clean, secure, and tidy. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care while making your pet feel comfortable in the place they know best.

About: I have 10+ years of experience with all kinds of animals! Dogs, cats, horses, birds, I don’t discriminate! I have experience training both dogs and horses, and I even taught my cat how to sit and play fetch. If that doesn’t impress you, I don’t know what will! I’m currently in school so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I pretty much only book walks in the mornings during summer months due to the Redding heat. Other seasons offer safer weather throughout the day, so I’m more flexible. No burnt paws on my watch! I have a beautiful black lab, Olive. She is mommy’s baby for sure. But like any good parent, I don’t let my kid run wild. I use positive reinforcement and redirection as correction. :)

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I’m a college student who works part-time, and pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available Wednesday through Sunday and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and sticking to your dog’s routine are something I genuinely look forward to. I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Very well, experienced in dog training techniques, pet store etiquette, a variety of small pet needs, as well as, infant, elderly & service animal special care. I’m an early riser with a balanced indoor/ outdoor schedule- perfect for animal health. Mornings & afternoon exercise play a large part in my active lifestyle here, too! This property also sits across the street from several beautiful trails that I explore frequently, though, our personal wooded acreage is welcomed to furry guests, too. We have two cats that are very friendly & open to other company, though can easily be separated depending on your personal needs. We also offer spare rooms to customize for their temporary stay. Wind-down times are in place before bedtimes, though there’s rarely been an animal that wasn’t exhausted after a good day here!

About: I am currently a PhD and most of time is spent reading and writing. I have a very flexible schedule. I took a break from Rover over the summer because I traveled extensively for my research so there wasn’t much flexibility in my schedule. If you live over 15 miles away from my home, there will be a surcharge of $5 per day to accommodate for gas. I have cared for and grown up with large breeds of dogs, as well as breeds known to be aggressive. I was 18 when I first dog sat professionally, so I have ten years of experience. There has never been a point in my life where I haven’t owned a dog and I have worked with several breeds. I’ll gladly walk, play with, brush and love your dog. I’m also glad to work with dogs who may be more afraid of strangers and take the time with you, the owner, to build a relationship with your dog. Then once you’re comfortable, you can leave your dog alone in my care. I really enjoy bonding with more timid dogs. I graduated with a bachelors degree in Animal Biology and am now a PhD student at UC Davis studying entomology. I’m more than happy to stay in your home and care for your dog (and any other animals or plants you may have ) while you are gone, and I will make the necessary changes to my schedule to make sure your dog is taken outside every four to six hours. I’m also extremely comfortable working with reptiles, cats, horses and some other farm/livestock animals; so I can house sit any other pets you may have. Please contact me with if you’re interested in me as a sitter or walker, or with any questions or concerns! I am PhD student at UC Davis and I make my own schedule. I no longer take courses, but I am a teaching assistant. My schedule is generally very flexible. Sittings that are over 15 miles from house will have a $5 surcharge per day to compensate for gas. I care for pets by paying very close to their body language and other behaviors which I have significant experience with. By doing so, I am able to meet your pets needs while keeping them comfortable. I also strictly adhere to the routine set my the owner to keep your pet as relaxed as possible. I will also speak with owners regarding a pet’s walking behavior/preferences and their behavior around other animals before taking the pet outside of the home. If a owner requests that I take their dog to the dog park, I will also pay very close attention to your dog’s behavior as well as the behavior of other dog’s at the park. I will do everything to the best of my ability to keep you pet safe.

About: I've had pets all my life and always been a huge animal lover. I also been left in charge of animals whenever family members were out of town. I actually have a cat myself (who I love dearly). And I've had many pets growing up through my childhood and so I am very experienced with all kinds of pets. As for my cat I clean his litter box every day. So, for any cat owners I would be more than happy to make sure litter boxes are kept clean. As for other pets and routines I will keep to any schedule that the client requests. (Whether that be daily walks or specific feeding times) If you let me know what you want, I will do it.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Girvan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Girvan is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 167 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Girvan. 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 Girvan. 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 Girvan 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 Girvan. On Rover:

  • 94% 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 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.
