About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of pets and I have gained experience both in professional and personal settings. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats with all kinds of routines and care needs and have no trouble adapting! I am available during mid June to mid September 2026 since I’m an out of state college student and this is my summer break! I am available for most of the week and can be flexible. Caring for your pet(s) in your home won’t be much of a hassle for me! I’ll be keeping an eye on your pet(s) at all times and will keep to whatever routine you give me. If you’re worried about playtime and cuddles, there’s no need because I plan to give your pet(s) all the attention they deserve and more!
“Dan was awesome. He was available on short notice when our arrangements fell through. He was easy to communicate with and was great with our pup. Thank you!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I have experience staying overnight for long periods of time, and also with dropping in here and there for playtime! I currently work as an online tutor and I am a full-time student at Texas A&M University. During the summer break, I am very flexible! I will respect the pet owner's wishes when it comes to leaving pets inside or taking them outside. I have lots of experience with walking animals, and I'll make sure they stay safe!
About: Hi, I'm austin-native Amanda! I've had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Bug, since he was a puppy. He's now 8 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life from energetic puppy days to establishing routines and adapting to changing needs as they get older. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys playing, exploring on walks, or simply relaxing, I'm happy to tailor their care to what makes them happiest. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, shaded fenced dog park at my apartment for safe outdoor time, and during the Texas summer I plan activities around the heat with shorter walks, shade, water breaks, and indoor play when needed. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about Bug. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, dependable hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My own dog, Bug, keeps me on a consistent routine, and I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I'm available for daytime care, walks, drop-in visits, and can often accommodate evenings and weekends with advance notice. I have a secure, fenced dog park at my apartment with plenty of shade, so dogs have a safe place to go outside without spending too much time on hot pavement during the Texas summer. There's also plenty of space and toys to play with in my nice airconditioned apartment. :) I know every dog has different routines and needs, so I'm happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, or any other care preferences. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dog, Bug.
“First time actually having a reliable person that actually showed up, Chelsea was very nice handled my dog with extra care and I love the photos that was taken along their walk. I will be booking again with Chelsea..”
“Thank you so much Aryanna for the meet and greet, the walk, the wonderful details and for taking the best care of our Sammie! So happy to have someone so competent watch her. We can’t wait to book you again and we really appreciate you! MANY THANKS!”
“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!”
About: I have cared for my own dog for 5 years and am patient, reliable, and attentive. I love animals and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and loving environment where pets are always supervised, treated with patience and kindness, and given proper care, affection, feeding, and attention daily.
“Jenna was so sweet with my mini Aussie Bucket. He is anxious & shy so when I got home and he was happy and taken care of -it made me feel so relieved that I found a good Walker! Will be booking her regularly!”
“Dale was easy to work with for our last-minute dog walking needs, and he went above and beyond to ensure both my young and senior dog were taken care of. Thanks, Dale!”
About: Heeyyy! I’m Nicci, a life long Austinite, I’m a Mom to two minions, two cats, and a dog. I’m an artist who enjoys going on long walks (hopefully with your dog…🤞) I’m really flexible schedule wise. I don’t mind administering medication if needed. I’m good with all stages of life - puppy/kitties to seniors and anyone in between. I would be happy to help you out with whatever companion care needs you may have. I’m a single mom working the hustle job life. So in some ways I’m a stay at home mom and in other ways I’m a never stop working kind of mom with the privilege of working around the clock when it works best for me. This means I’m home during the weekdays for a great majority of the day, weekends I work more during the days but nothing crazy and I’m home every night of the week. I walk my kids to school every morning and then I continue with a lengthy walk for myself. Your dog would love it! My apartments have a very large fenced in dog park and multiple designated dog potty areas. I’m a leashed walker unless in a fenced in area where they can run and play.
“Ollie absolutely loves his walks with Madison; he gets so excited when she arrives. Madison is reliable, communicative, and clearly a true dog person. Ollie has some leash reactivity challenges, and I really appreciate the care and attention she takes to keep him engaged, set him up for success, and avoid situations that might trigger a reaction. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and tailors her approach to their individual needs. Don’t overthink it; book a walk with Madison! 🐾”
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.

“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.”

Jean was great with my dog and our foster goldendoodle. He arrived on time and took good care of them. He followed my instructions perfectly. He communicated well and sent me cute pictures. He was patient with their quirks and he came on short notice when mo one else could. He was a lifesaver! I would recommend him and use him again without concern.

Allie was really incredible. She was very patient with my anxious pup, and available to accommodate me the day of when another sitter fell through. I’m very grateful for her detailed notes, as I left knowing my little guy was in good hands. I would love to work with her again. Thank you so much Allie!
Connelley was so sweet and caring to Buck! Buck is very stubborn and likes to escape for attention so it was so nice to have someone so trustworthy and someone who paid attention to details/instructions so thoughtfully! I would absolutely recommend Connelley to anyone and everyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Sunset Valley on Rover is $19.98 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 .

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 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 Sunset Valley.

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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
