“Amanda is absolutely amazing! The first green flag was her coming to meet my baby, and my child can be veryyy hyper and Amanda was not phased at all! She communicates so well, extremely friendly, and knowledgeable. She treated my baby so well, anyone who gets her to watch their baby is in LUCK! Wynter enjoyed her so much and I actually look forward to leaving again because I KNOW who I can count on to love my child just as much or maybe even a little more than I will. Always sent pictures and live updates which made me feel EVEN more comfortable while away. I also had a last minute emergency, Amanda insured me that it wasn’t a problem at all for an extension. She’s such a loving professional which is super hard to come by! 100/10 for Amanda!!!!”
“I was incredibly nervous about leaving my two dogs in the care of someone else, as one of them has lots of anxiety issues and can be reactive with people and other dogs. But Dale did incredible and had no issues. He was super patient with my reactive dog and was super mindful about all my concerns. I was so so anxious and left a whole essay of information/instructions he needed to know and he made sure to keep all of that in mind. I will definitely keep him in mind for future sitter needs.”
About: I grew up with three dogs and helped raise my own Corgi-Dachshund mix (Finn! 🐾) from when he was 3 months old through living to be over 16 years old. Since he passed, I’ve been missing having a little companion around so decided to get back into dog sitting and dog walking outside my 9-5. My friends, colleagues, and referred families relied on me to housesit throughout college with dogs of all shapes and sizes! Puppies, senior dogs, big personalities - I have a soft spot for any and all!!!! 💖 I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday, with the flexibility to work remotely on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I can provide care during the week when needed. With advance notice, I can also request additional remote days to accommodate longer stays or specific schedules. My weekends are flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and your needs :) I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a dog park conveniently accessible nearby. I currently have no other pets, but have some different dog supplies on hand to create a calm a comfortable environment for your pup. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine, needs, and personality, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home while in my care!
“Very communicative and was available on short notice! I felt so at ease knowing he read thru my profile and saw our pup’s specific needs. Will definitely book again!”
“Christine is the absolute greatest friend and caretaker to our dog Schlappen. She’s so attentive, responsive, loving and dependable. She treats your pet like it’s her own. All the qualities we look for while we go away and need someone to take good care of our dog. We really appreciate her and look no further when it’s time to schedule a Rover again. Thank you Christine! ❤️”
About: With 10+ years of caring for my own pets plus family and friends’ dogs, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for every pup. I’m committed to giving dogs the caring attention they deserve when their owners can’t be there. My schedule is very open right now, which gives me a lot of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care whenever needed. In my clients’ homes, I always follow their routines, preferences, and house rules. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable and cared for while I’m a guest in their space.
About: My wife and I own a beauty studio which allows us to have a pretty flexible schedule. We like to use our extra time to help out. I've always had a passion for dogs and love spending time with our mini Aussie Maui. Our dog is super friendly! He loves kids and other dogs and seems to always have a huge smile on his face. I love taking our pup on long walks on the Greenbelt and for swims around the hill country. I've been a dog owner for 30+ years and I am confident I'll provide a safe and positive experience for you and your dog! Fortunately my schedule is super flexible. I'm able to work whenever I like which makes working with animals extremely convenient. My wife and I have a dog of our own, but we're often fostering dogs or caring for dogs via Rover. Dogs are a huge passion of mine, and I'm incredibly thankful I can help out! We have a fenced backyard. We also have extra dog beds, food and water bowls, leashes, collars and harnesses as well as tons of toys and treats. We have baby gates and play pens. Large and small kennels. We have a baby pool for pups to play in during the summer in our backyard. We also have everything needed to bathe and groom pups if they get a little messy. Our cars have either doggy hammocks or a puppy chair. We have just about everything you can think of a dog might need.
About: Hey, I'm Angel <3 I'm a poet & musician. I take precautions to prevent the spread of Covid through our community. I mask indoors everywhere and in crowded outdoor spaces. I've had pets of my own before but I'm taking a break from permanent responsibility. I'm here to share my love for pets with y'all and hopefully earn some rent money doing it ;-)) I help take care of my roommate's indoor/outdoor cat whenever the lil guy asks. I am very attentive and love to show love to the animals we share our lives with. I have a couple part time jobs, most of which are WFH, so I have a lot of extra time in my schedule to dedicate to pet care. I have a fenced in yard with the family home I live in and a beautiful neighborhood to walk your babies in. We keep a cool environment in here for ours and our pets comfort.
“Danielle is absolutely amazing with Mishka! She is great about listening to Mishka’s cues when she wants to keep walking or needs a chill day to just play inside. It’s very apparent how much she cares about the dogs she walks. Mishka is so excited to see her each day and it shows in all the pics that Danielle sends! I’m so happy to have found someone I trust Mish with in Austin.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I could remember. I love breeds of all kinds and was always the go to gal to watch all of my neighbors/ friends pets when they were gone! Let’s just say I’m the type of girl to stop you on the street to ask to pet your dog! I am not currently working full time right now and have a lot of free time that I would love to devote to pet care! I am highly dependable, patient and kind with animals. I have worked with dogs needing special treatment such as medication, long walks, and complicated schedules. With the passing of my childhood pet this year, I want to utilize my time with dogs again as it’s something I truly cherish.
“Ashley is the best! She genuinely cares about our dog, and it’s such a relief to have a trustworthy person to take care of him when life gets in our way. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Danielle was great with coming by to walk my dog Roxy for me while I was gone! She was very attentive, communicative, and flexible. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi, I'm your dog's new favorite walking buddy! 🐾 I'm a dog lover and pet parent myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. I want every walk or visit to feel safe, comfortable, and fun for both you and your pup. I'm happy to accommodate your dog's individual personality and routine, whether that means an energetic walk, a relaxed sniff filled stroll, or a drop in visit for a potty break, playtime, and some extra attention. I'll follow your care instructions closely and send photo updates after visits so you can feel confident that your pup is in good hands. I'd love to meet you and your four legged family member and help make their day a little brighter. ☀️ I work full time and am available for dog walks before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m conscious of the best times to walk dogs, especially during warmer weather, and will always prioritize their comfort and safety when planning walks. I always prioritize a calm, safe environment for pets, whether I’m in my home or yours. I follow any instructions you provide closely, keep a clean space, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to build trust with each dog and stay attentive to their behavior and needs.
“Kayla is always super sweet and helpful with my dog! Gives great updates and detailed rover cards. I always feel like my dog is in good hands when she comes to walk her. 💛”
“Daylan was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Bronson while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was kind, reliable, and genuinely caring. I’m so grateful for her help and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I have grown up always having a dog. I am very caring and attentive to a dog's needs. I enjoy being engaged and active with dogs. I love taking pictures and sending them to the dog owner. I also love helping people and making them feel comfortable and allowing them to trust me with their pet. I think the more information you can provide me about your pet - the better! I work from home and am able to give your pet all the attention they desire. If your dog is used to sleeping in a bed, I have no problem with your dog sleeping in my bed. I encourage you to bring their favorite toy or treats! In April 2020, I got a puppy of my own. His name is Charlie and he is a miniature golden doodle (30 lbs). He is friendly and loves other dogs. I work from home so I’ll be with your pup most of the day! I usually take my dog out in the morning for a walk and let him out in the afternoon and then after work for another walk. I have a backyard, live near a dog park and have lots of nearby areas to take walks! I keep things that could be unsafe out of reach. I have plenty of dog toys in my home.
About: My family had two very active and silly Golden Retrievers growing up, and part of my daily chores were walking, feeding, and caring for them. I’ve also taken care of many friends’ pets over the years, and I currently live with two very cute short-haired dachshunds. I recently resigned from my job and spent a few months traveling around the country. I’m now back in Austin exploring different career options, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, exercise, and care. I’d love the opportunity to help with your pet-sitting needs and brighten your pet’s day! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can be flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make their care as comfortable and consistent as possible. I’ll always make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and cared for according to their normal routine. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

Dan was great all week long. Always on time and able to manage our always over excited 8 month old pup with love and care. I would absolutely recommend him and nominate him as the best dog walker in Austin. He was a lifesaver for us and really helped with our Theo. We’ll certainly call on him again in the future. Thank you Dan and thank you Rover!

Simone is the absolute best! She takes such great care of my dogs, and I’m so thankful to have someone I can completely trust with them. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond—even when I need something last minute. I truly appreciate her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Sunset Valley is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 October 2026, there are 7,075 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sunset Valley. 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 Sunset Valley. 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 Sunset Valley 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 Sunset Valley. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
