About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!

Riley is the best and my pup Sage loves her walks with him. It’s so nice to come home to a happy and calm dog. I have no doubt that she is always taken such good care of by Riley. He’s gone above by bringing in packages on my doorstep, picking up her dog toys, etc. I love getting to see all the pictures and updates of my fur baby while I’m at work.

About: I give dogs a calm & predictable experience. I adjust to different personalities and energy levels, whether that’s a relaxed senior dog or a more playful, active pup. I can help with walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible when my schedule allows (including last-minute requests!). I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable :) **Note: potty-trained is a requirement for care in my home - thanks! My schedule is flexible, so I can help with walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as daycare and boarding. I follow your dog’s routine, whether it’s a quick visit/walk or a longer stay at my house. Aside from the occasional errand or outing, I'm home most of the day (weekdays and weekends) and spend a lot of time with the dogs in my care. My dog, Emory, is very easygoing and gets along well with both calm and playful dogs. Dogs have access to a fenced yard and doggie door, and I'm available to provide potty breaks as often as needed for dogs who can't use it. They're also welcome to get on the furniture! For walks and drop-ins, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I provide regular updates and follow your dog's routine and any specific instructions to help you and your dogs feel comfortable while you're away.

About: We've had dogs in our family since I was an infant and I've never known life without a dog. My two girls are black labs, a mother and daughter pair, rescues from Ohio- Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. They are the sweetest and are in heaven living on our 1 acre "ranch" chasing squirrels, roadrunners, and barking at deer across the fence. They love having company from other dogs and I have a very flexible work from home schedule, so I've been able help people out when they need it! I currently have my own online business where I am able to choose my own hours, so I am able to take good care of your dog whenever you are in need! I live on about an acre of land that's completely fenced and have two loveable older labs that love new friends! I can also easily crate your dog if you would prefer.

I closely follow care instructions, maintain a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, and ensure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times.

About: Hi! I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and reliable care for pets of all kinds! I have 6 years of experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, medication administration, and recognizing signs that a pet may need extra attention. This experience has helped me become comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur-babies. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so I know firsthand the patience, attention, and love that animals deserve every day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or specialized care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away and ensure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for in my hands, so be on the look out for daily pictures and updates. :) I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. Because I’m not commuting to an office, I’m able to maintain your pet’s normal routine, provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship, and ensure they aren’t left alone for long periods of time. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I will provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and any medications or special care they may need. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, cuddle time, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, tidy, and secure throughout my stay. I'll clean up after your pets, maintain their feeding and living areas, and leave your home in the same condition, or better, than I found it. You can feel confident knowing that both your pets and your home will be cared for with professionalism, attention, and respect while you're away.

About: I may be new to professional pet care, but I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Over the past year, I have helped care for family members' pets by walking them, feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always try to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. I am responsible, dependable, and committed to following your care instructions carefully so your pet receives the best possible care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I have availability on many weekdays as well as weekends, and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I enjoy being active, so taking dogs on walks fits naturally into my routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding walking routes, feeding, medications if needed, and any special preferences. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and make sure pets stay safe and secure at all times. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, just as if they were my own.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!

I’ve also cared for cats with special medical and behavioral needs, including diabetes and age-related cognitive challenges. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. Whether your cat enjoys lots of playtime and attention or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. My availability varies depending on classes and work, but I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hays

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hays on Rover is $10 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 6,761 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hays. 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 Hays. 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 Hays.

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 Hays. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
