About: I've had a strong passion for animals since I was very young, and I've spent years caring for them whenever I had the chance. Visiting zoos, animal shelters, and spending time with friends' pets eventually led me to start pet sitting and dog walking at a young age as well. Through over a decade of hands on experience, personal research, and owning reptiles, cats, and other small species, I've learned how to care for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, fish, and even insects and snails. I combine compassion, patience, and responsibility to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their individual needs. I’m especially knowledgeable about cats and very familiar with canine body language. I also care for stray cats in my neighborhood, which has given me even more experience understanding animal behavior and building trust with shy or nervous pets. However, I’m committed to providing the same level of attentive care to every animal I work with. I’m comfortable with most ages, sizes, and species of pets, excluding babies that still need to be bottle fed. Please let me know in advance if your pet has severe aggression, medical concerns, or special care instructions, and provide emergency contact information for a veterinarian or trusted person if needed. I can help with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleanup, litter boxes, and poop scooping. I understand that pet care can sometimes be messy, and I’m patient with accident-prone animals. Animal care is something I genuinely care deeply about, and I always strive to provide an experience that leaves both pets and owners feeling happy, comfortable, and confident. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I’m currently available to provide care any day of the week, including holidays unless stated otherwise, just ask! I’m pretty flexible and can usually adapt to last minute requests, so feel free to reach out and we can try to work something out. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos during visits if you’d like them as well. I don't currently work outside of Rover jobs, so I'm also available any time of day for jobs and meet and greets. I'm happy to go off-app for repeat clients, to avoid the extra fees that Rover takes (20-30% off sitter pay and 10% extra charge to the owners that goes straight to them). Going through Rover for the first booking will ensure both parties feel comfortable and trustworthy before moving forward with direct arrangements. Feel free to ask more about this! I will give my full attention and care to both your pet and your home. I’m willing to go above and beyond to keep your pet comfortable and your home clean and mess-free. I keep food dishes clean, toys picked up, and always make sure all doors, windows, and gates are properly locked and secured before leaving your home. I can carefully follow any special instructions provided, and I will care for your animals with the same love, patience, and attention to detail that I give to my own.

About: Sitting with me, you get 3 updates per day with pictures and a description included! I have had pets growing up and my entire life. I have grown up with dogs, lizards, birds, bunnies and even fish. There has ALWAYS been a dog in my house. My longest living pet was 19 and the youngest I’ve had is 6 months. Throughout my life, I have loved animals and find great joy in providing them love and care. I have dog sat for family and friends as well and just really find the love in taking care of animals. I work from home so my schedule overall is pretty flexible! I have a desktop to work from my apartment and a laptop to be able to work from anywhere. I have dog sat while bringing my laptop multiple times and finding the balance between work and play is second nature at this point. When dog sitting I have spent weeks away or even just a night if needed. Whatever you need, we can make it work and figure out something that works for you, me, and your sweet baby! I understand animals can be incredibly smart and work their way out of things or even get into things if they shouldn’t! If your furbaby likes to get into trouble, I am very attentive and can keep them out. For any specifics (my mom used to have a pig that could open the refrigerator!), let me know and I’ll keep an even closer eye out.

About: Hello there! I've been pet sitting for over 15 years now all around Texas and even as far north as New Hampshire. I have extensive experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for birds, reptiles, hermit crabs, fish, farm animals, insects, and spiders. Whether your pet needs specialized feeding, habitat maintenance, medication, or simply a consistent routine while you're away, I'm happy to provide attentive care. I look forward to hearing from you! *After taking time away from Rover, I'm excited to be accepting bookings again. I currently work a full-time hybrid/remote job and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule during the week and on weekends to either check in on your fur babies several times during the day, take them on walks, or house sit. It's important to me to always follow instructions given to me by my clients, especially if there are special diets or medications to administer. I strive to keep things safe and comfortable for your pets, bringing all the love. Each visit I also provide updates and pictures to help ease your mind while you're away. I give each pet the same love and attention that I give my own (I have four cats).

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. My parents were Great Dane breeders and I have experience raising puppies from birth-seniority. I used to groom dogs as a part time job and would love to groom yours free of charge while sitting for you! I am also experienced in training dogs basic commands as well as a few tricks and could probably have your furry baby doing a new trick in less than 2 hours. I'd love to help you with your lovable best friend, day or night!❤️ I currently work part time and have plenty of free time to give your furry friend that special TLC they love! I always come prepared with treats and toys as well. I usually arrive at the client's house, let the pet introduce themselves to me naturally (no threatening behavior, no forced petting, no loud or excited talking, just let them get to know me!) and then hang out in their space for a bit, offering treats if allowed, letting them get used to me, then going on with the routine of feeding, walking, etc, if I'm allowed to groom them, once they're used to my presence, I'll begin that, making sure to stop immediately if they seem upset or threatened! I always end our day together with some treats/food and spending some time with them!

About: With 26 years of pet care experience, I have extensive knowledge and skills to ensure your pets receive the best care possible. Should something out of the ordinary occur, I possess the skills and training necessary to appropriately respond to any issue or situation. I enjoy and work well with both puppies and seniors. Retired from a successful career in Leadership Development, I have plenty of time to provide complete, thorough and loving care for your special friend(s). I can always be talked into another game of Chase & Return or Frisbee. Many pets greatly prefer remaining in their own familiar, comfortable and secure home surroundings. I enjoy taking care of them in this manner, being thoroughly present while making a minimal impact on your home and furnishings. I am a mature, dependable, and conscientious guest in your home. When taking care of your pets in your home, I follow the doctrine of “leave it better than you found it.”

I can stay in the owners home or schedule my day around walks feedings, playtime, and check-in making sure each pet gets consistent attention and love. At my home I have a doggie door and a fenced in backyard. At client‘s home I follow any house rules, cleanup as needed and make sure everything is secure before I leave.

About: This is my full time job. I've taken care of most dog breeds and cats since I was young. I also come from a family with a small farm with cows, donkeys, and goats as well. We also have 6 dogs on the ranch. Animals have always been a passion of mine. I am also currently taking classes on pet training to further my education and understanding of animals. I offer free training until graduation along with booking! I am very organized and like to stay on top of priorities. I build my schedule so that each pet gets dedicated one‑on‑one time, and I always arrive within the agreed‑upon window. My routine is structured enough to stay reliable, but flexible enough to adjust to your pet’s needs. I’m very organized and make sure every pet receives focused, reliable care. Your pet’s comfort is always my priority, and I can adjust visit styles as needed.

About: Feel free to ask me about pricing! After being diagnosed with a chronic illness, I turned pet sitting into my full time passion. Working from home gives me the flexibility to care for your babies any time and anywhere. With over nine years of experience, I have been a dedicated caretaker for animals of all sizes. My services include walking, bathing, feeding, sitting, and boarding pets. I have a lot of experience with elderly, reactive, and ill pets. When house-sitting, I ensure your pets are well-cared for with regular walks, feeding, watering, and bathing as needed, along with additional household tasks like watering plants. During drop-in visits, I provide feeding, watering, and playtime for at least 30 minutes, extending the time if your pets need extra attention and care. I particularly enjoy daily dog walks, whether it's through a local park or a favorite trail specified by the owner. Every service comes with plenty of photos and updates, keeping you connected with your beloved pets. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I develop with each animal. I truly assess and respond to their needs and emotions, going beyond the basic requirements because I genuinely care. For your convenience, I offer same-day booking and cancellation to accommodate your schedule. If you have any questions, please feel free to email, call, or text me at any time. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! If I am booked for your pet, they are my main priority. My routine revolves around them as if they were my own. The more time I get to spend with furry friends the better! Each pet is different and require different levels of attention. I am happy to fill in for the owner in any way that is needed. Sometimes that looks like standing outside with the pet during potty time. Sometimes that looks like ensuring nothing in left out on the ground or counters. I also do not take any pet to a place that is unsafe or that I or the owner are unfamiliar with. Safety first!

Samantha did an excellent job walking and feeding my dog while I was away. My dog has a sensitive stomach and unfortunately she had two accidents. Samantha helped clean up the accidents and gave my dog probiotics to help her stomach. I would highly recommend Samantha she was highly reliable and provided frequent updates.

About: Hi there! My name is Lily, and I’m an experienced and passionate pet sitter with over 10 years of caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s playful puppies, senior dogs, independent cats, or even rabbits and hamsters, I’ve done it all! I’ve worked with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, so I’m confident handling everything from energetic large dogs to tiny senior pets who need extra care. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’ll treat yours with the love, patience, and attention they deserve. What I Offer: 🐕Dog Care: Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and any special care needs 🐈Cat Care: Litter box cleaning, feeding, play, and lots of attention (if they’re up for it!) 🐇Small Animal Care: Rabbits, hamsters, and other little critters 🐶Tailored care for pets of all ages (puppies/kittens, seniors, and everything in between) I have a background check on file and great reviews from past clients who trust me with their pets and homes. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and of course—lots of tail wags and purrs. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and extra care for pets with special needs or routines. Why Choose Me? 🐾Over 10 years of pet care experience 🐾Great reviews from happy clients 🐾Familiar with pets of all ages and energy levels 🐾Reliable, caring, and fully background-checked I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every pet like my own and look forward to helping you feel confident while you’re away. Let’s connect! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or fluffy) family members. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner of two large dogs and a rabbit, I’m already accustomed to balancing feeding, walks, playtime, and general care every day. Their needs are always a priority, so adding pet sitting through Rover fits seamlessly into my schedule. I’m organized, reliable, and flexible, ensuring I can provide the same love and attention to other pets as I do for my own. Whether it’s daily visits or walks, I’m happy to accommodate pet care requests as they come in. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. **In My Home:** I have a pet-friendly space that’s well-suited for animals, including my two large dogs and rabbit, who are friendly and used to sharing their home. I provide regular feeding, plenty of playtime, exercise, and a calm space for rest. I ensure pets feel welcomed, loved, and part of the family while maintaining any routines they’re used to. **In a Client’s Home:** I respect the pet’s familiar environment by sticking closely to their routine. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, litter box maintenance, and any special care they need. I also provide updates, photos, and ensure your home is left clean and secure. My goal is to make pets feel cared for and stress-free while you’re away. No matter the location, I prioritize safety, comfort, and plenty of attention to keep tails wagging and pets happy.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Braunfels

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in New Braunfels on Rover is $16.65 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 2,690 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Braunfels. 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 New Braunfels. 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 New Braunfels.

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 New Braunfels. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
