Sara was awesome. She filled in when our regular sitter was unavailable. She came for a meet and greet. Took nice walks or spent good visit time when it was raining. She left great notes. I knew Piper was well cared for.

Robert has been taking my dog, Craig, for walks on a weekly basis for about six months now. I highly recommend him as he has been very friendly, dependable, and reliable. Robert took really good care of Craig and made sure his needs were met during each visit, especially during times when Craig wasn’t feeling well. He also took the best dog photos which were a joy to receive in the middle of a work shift. I’m very satisfied with his services overall!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care. I currently have a Husky, a Pitbull, and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. From active dogs that love long walks and playtime to cats that need a calm and caring environment, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for many cats over the years and know that every pet has their own routine and unique needs. I treat every animal like family and focus on providing reliable, loving care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. My passion for animals truly shows in the patience, care, and attention I give to every pet I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I work full time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need throughout the week. I’m also available on weekends, which gives me even more time to focus on providing quality care and companionship. As a pet owner myself with a Husky, a Pitbull, and a cat, I’m already used to maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and giving pets lots of love and attention every day. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and caring environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Since I have experience with both high-energy dogs and cats, I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel relaxed in their familiar environment while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: Since the age of 12, I've been trusted by family, friends, and coworkers to help care for dogs of all ages and sizes, ranging from extra small to extra large. I have veterinarian technicians in my family that have guided me throughout the process of training up to administering medicine for older dogs. I've also previously had a job as a Veterinary Assistant at a small but very popular veterinary practice. I am comfortable taking care of multiple animals, puppies, and senior dogs alike! I am currently in-between jobs while caring for my daughter, making my schedule very flexible to sit, walk, or do a drop-in visit for you and your pets! Your furry family members will always receive lots of snuggles and will get as much exercise as requested or desired! Rules and training that has been put in place will be followed to maintain daily routines.

About: I have over 12 years of experience in dog care, with a strong background in grooming, vet assisting, training, and behavioral work. I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hardins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 4,792 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hardins. 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 Hardins. 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 Hardins.

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 Hardins. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
