About: Hi there! I am a work from home dog mom. I am very active and either hike, swim, or go to the park with my dog on a daily basis. I am trained by APA and am equipped to handle seasonal precautions on how to keep your dog safe. I’m experienced with puppies, older dogs, and all sizes and breeds of furry friends! I walk multiple miles a day, so can take as long or as short of an adventure that your dog needs. I absolutely adore all pups, and would love to take care of your best friend! -Alison

About: I grew up with several dogs and cats in the family home. I have raised and trained a Doberman, so I know what it takes to teach them obedience and the importance of consistency. I love animals so much, they bring me so much joy. Fun fact: when I was a little girl I wanted to be a veterinarian. I feel that I have a special connection with animals; they are usually naturally drawn to me. I didn’t pursue a career as a veterinarian because I had other interests. I currently don’t have any animals because I enjoy the flexibility. I would love to take care of your animals and treat them with extra special care. I am currently working part time and would have the time to care for your pet(s) after work or on my days off. I currently work a 2-3 days a week and am available by the afternoons on the days I am working. I typically pet sit in the owners home. I find that is more comfortable for them. I am not currently able to have pets where I live.

About: Greetings! Austin native here for over 20 years. Very familiar with a lot of trails around the Austin area and love to walk. I've owned dogs all my life ranging from small toy breeds to your larger pitty and GSD mixes. Being a former volunteer with Austin Animal Shelter, I absolutely love and adore animals and think your pet and me will get along great if assigned. I pet sit full time currently and it's a part of my daily routine. I love checking in on animals and making them happy while you're away. I currently live at home with my mom. We have an acre of land in the backyard, half of which is fenced in. I used to grow vegetables in the backyard and instead an switching to growing native plants. If boarding, someone will always be at the house to keep your pet company. I usually walk at least once in the morning and evening. If temperatures permit, once mid day as well assuming your pet likes all the activity. Walks are usually at least one to four miles around the neighborhood or nearby park. I would treat your dog with at least the same care as I treat my own and any additional instructions you may have for me to follow.
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. While I don’t claim to be a professional trainer or have specialized senior pet care certifications, I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, reinforce routines you’ve already established, and make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a mom of three, I’m already used to being responsible, organized, and maintaining consistent schedules. I enjoy being active, so dog walks and outdoor play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply spending time keeping pets company, I’m happy to provide the attention and routine they need. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure they get any medications as directed, if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I keep the home clean and secure, follow any house rules, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants when needed, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring their owners know they’re in caring and dependable hands.
About: From looking after a Leonberger throughout his life to now loving a Goldendoodle and Coton du Tulear, my pet care experience spans dogs of all sizes. This diverse background not only deepens my understanding of their unique needs but also enhances my ability to connect with dogs of all sizes, ensuring they receive the most attentive and loving care. I’m currently home from college, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for morning walks every day of the week, and for drop-ins most mornings and afternoons. When caring for pets at a client's home, my top priority is ensuring a safe and trusting environment. I follow all owner instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to specific care routines, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I conduct regular check-ins and updates to keep owners informed. My approach is to treat every home with respect, maintaining cleanliness and order during each visit, and focusing on providing attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs.
About: *AM NEW TO ROVER, SO CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES & PHOTOS (apologies for so few reviews).* I have had the privilege of caring for small animal's from a very young age, as had working dogs on 15 acres of land. Have had experience with American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Mastiffs and multiple other breeds. Currently only have one canine, George whom is two. It is a family tradition to care for canines especially as my great-grandmother raised catahoula hounds and I am honored to keep that legecy alive. Hope to add some walks and cuddles to your four-legged/ fur-babies life, thank you for reading! I have dedicated my life to caring for all creatures that I come into contact with, along with caring for the nutritional and environmental health just as much as you would a human child. As my career in the military was cut short due to an injury,I have shifted gears to working for self via animal care and house sitting and taking care of my father. Have training in small animal nutrition and basic animal psychology from two years spent as the manager of Natural Paws (a luxury pet grocer) before they sold to a larger corporation. Have a background in insurance also so understand how absolutely important safety is during all times, as well as situational awareness. This is my primary career. Hope to be in contact soon and thank you for reading! I do not allow walking any distance outside of the home off leash and only allow off leash in the safety of the client's yard if properly fenced in.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Hills
Chris is super sweet and incredibly responsive. Since she lives so close, scheduling was really easy. I was a little apprehensive at first about having someone come into our home, but she was extremely professional and immediately made me feel comfortable. She picked up Angel, took her on a long walk, and followed my directions exactly (I saw on the cameras). When I got home, Angel was totally tucked out and clearly very happy. 10/10 I’ll definitely be booking with Chris again, and I highly recommend her!
I recently relocated to Austin and found the perfect walking partner for my Yellow Lab Wyatt. Although Wyatt is a sweet dog, he can be a challenging walk. He has a mind of his own and on occasion, he is sometimes less than cordial when encountering another canine and their walker. When David came to our home for a meet and greet, his patience and knowledge interacting with Wyatt was apparent Each morning of a scheduled walk, Wyatt watches for David looking through the front door window. When David pulls up into the driveway, Wyatt gets so excited, his tail is wagging like a metronome, and he starts this little "whining sound". When Wyatt leaves for his walk with David, I know it will be another new adventure and he will be ready for a long day of rest and napping when he returns. David's communication is clear and timely; he is always punctual and has been very flexible with scheduling and last-minute changes. After every walk, David posts his comments and at least one picture of their adventure. David is professional, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. Wyatt loves every walk.

The average cost of Dog Walking in The Hills is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per walk.

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 The Hills. 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 The Hills 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 The Hills. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
