About: I have two years of experience working in dog training with Good Dog, where I developed valuable skills in handling, caring for, and understanding dogs with different personalities, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Through this experience, I gained knowledge of positive reinforcement, basic obedience training, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with every animal. My experience has prepared me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing companionship, I am committed to treating every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I am temporarily away from my regular job while recovering from a work-related injury. This allows me to dedicate more time and attention to providing quality pet care. I am generally available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I can accommodate extended house-sitting arrangements and provide pets with consistent companionship, feeding, attention, and care. I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As both a dog and cat owner, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. Caring for my own animals has taught me the value of patience, responsibility, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Along with my two years of experience in dog training with Good Dog, I have developed strong skills in animal handling, recognizing behaviors, and building trust with animals. I prioritize maintaining a clean and secure environment, providing fresh food and water, following established routines, and ensuring pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every animal has different comfort levels, and I always respect their boundaries while helping them feel safe and relaxed. Whether caring for pets in my home or their owner’s home, I am committed to treating every animal like family and providing owners with peace of mind knowing their pets are in responsible and dependable hands.

About: I grew up taking care of many different kinds of animals on my families farm. I have experience dealing with medical care for dogs as well as larger animals. I started dog sitting in college and I found a great love for providing dogs a loving experience while their families are away. I’ve enjoyed dog sitting more full time for the past 6 years, and I feel confident that I can provide pets a fun experience as well as give owners peace of mind while they’re gone. I am currently working fully remote, so I’ll have ample time to love on your fur baby. I enjoy going for walks and playing with toys in the back yard. I think it’s very important for dogs to get as much exercise as possible/needed. I am comfortable using crates, or whatever method you and your dogs are comfortable. If you and your dog have used shock collars or electric fences I am confident in using both of those methods.

“My dogs and I adored Preslee. She is a very sweet person and you can tell she really cares for animals. My husband was out of town for five days so she walked his German Shepherd while I walked my terrier mix. She handled that Shepherd like a pro. And believe me, Heidi can be a handful. I would highly recommend hiring Preslee for any of your animal needs! I know I will be definitely using her in the future.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bannister

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 301 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bannister. 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 Bannister. 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 Bannister 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 Bannister. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
