About: I have worked at a dog boarding and grooming facility for three years, and used to work in the kennels at a veterinary clinic. I'm used to working with dogs and cats and am comfortable with their body language and different temperaments. I am currently open for every day at any times but would prefer to discuss so I could work around my work schedules, I have my own transportation so I am able to visit any time needed I am willing to go visit your pet, walk them, play with them, and possibly bath them. I love spending time with dogs and like walks, runs, or just sitting and enjoying the weather with your fur baby.
About: I've adored animals of all kinds my whole life, and have rescued animals as well as petsat for friends and family prior to Rover. My own home is filled with the ornery-ness of two cats and a dog, along with experience caring for my super senior from kittenhood. She is why i have such a soft spot for older pets. I've been lucky to have reptiles and rodents and feel comfortable providing care for a wide variety of animals. Animal behavior and care is a passion of mine, so I love to continuously educate myself and keep my knowledge up to date on the latest care. This helps me keep an eye on body language to make sure i know your pet's wants. needs, and mood. My calendar stays up to date, and my day-to-day is flexible. I am currently studying while also pet sitting, so I am able to focus on making sure pets and their parents are comfortable even when plans change last minute. My studies will eventually lead to me working from home so i plan to continue to work and pet sit as well, meaning there shouldn't be a change in my plans. I honor house rules and follow directions well. There are never too many notes for me to follow and refer back to. I want your pet to be safe and well cared for, so even the slightest concern i will double check with you via Rover.
About: I love animals! I’ve had my dogs for five years and when I was growing up I was always around horses and dogs even cats! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three dogs! Every dog deserves love! I have a huge fenced in yard they get to run and play in! They are super well taken care of and have tons of toys. They will be loved and taken care of! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three adult dogs. I’m always trying to keep myself busy on my days off to watch your puppers & keep them safe. I love doing it in my free time.🤍🤍 I have a huge yard for them to run & play. Also keep an eye on them when they are outside. Plus they will have time to eat and rest after a day of playing.
About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!
About: I’m a Mexican-American professional that works in Joplin, MO, but I frequent NWA area for leisure activities. I could help with basic training. Also willing to learn more training skills to help you at home. I’ve had multiple pets growing up including dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and even hermit crabs over the years. I have a female cat of my own. Had her since she was a kitten, she was a stray and got her shots as soon as we were able too. I would greatly enjoy taking care of your pets! I know pets help reduce stress and anxiety and are very important companions for families big or small. I will do my best to treat your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love, respect, and care they deserve. I work part time in Joplin and am open about my work schedule and let you know when I would arrive at your house to care for your pet. If you agree with those times then I’ll book.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 27 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Afton. 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 Afton. 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 Afton 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
