About: I am an Animal Science Major at ISU and worked at a vet clinic recently! I am looking forward to having process in my career and loving what I do best! I am full time in school and the rest of the day throughout homework and studying I’m up and about with my animals fitting in their needs and care. I value their space when giving me signals of stress and being overwhelmed as very excited with them when that is what they need. Full energy dogs are so loving and we have the best time as well as calm and old souls who needs more naps.

About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.

About: I’ve spent years caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s energetic pups that love long walks or independent cats that just need some company, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with feeding routines, administering medication, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of love, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own (Rigby, my senior cavapoo, and Dante, my 1-year old black cat, would attest if they could)! Whether you're heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work part time until mid-May, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Please DM for specific hours, as they will vary slightly! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I always treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I keep things clean, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, keeping everything as normal and familiar as possible.

Lana is so amazing and great with pets. She showed up on time and did the full 30 minute walk. My dog definitely enjoyed her company! She did so great with providing pictures and ensuring she was fitting for all of my dogs needs. If you want a great dog walker or pet caretaker I recommend Lana!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 18. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets and I can watch animals at my house or stop in to yours to take care of your beloved pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehogs, lizards, and fish! I work as a nurse but still have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pets whether in my home or yours and will give them plenty of attention! I would be able to let out quick in the morning but no walks and can let out in the evening and do a walk. I have a large fenced in back yard for your dog to run and play in. I have two dogs both of whom are laid back and gets along with other dogs. I have the space to be able to set up a crate if needed to crate your dog while I’m away. I am able to let your dogs out in the morning and evening and spend time with them each time as well as feed them. I can watch your small animals at my house since I have a room designated for small animals since I own two ferrets! I have 3 sweet kitties who get along great with dogs and other cats!

About: Growing up on a farm, you learn responsibly. I have been around animals of all sizes since I was four. When I was eight, I started working at a family-owned dog kennel, which I still work at today. At 16, I started housesitting for neighbors and family-friends. I am very trustworthy and have years of experience. Your animals will be in good hands! I am a college student at ISU, so my schedule revolves around my classes, but there isn’t more than 4 hours where I won’t be able to take care of your animals! I will take care of your pets like my own. I will feed them on schedule if needed, and need to all instructions given. And give the necessary pets when needed.

About: I love to play and love on animals, and my daughter loves to research breeds and find what they like the most. And care for them that way. Your pet(s) will be well welcomed to our fun loving home. Welcome! I am working full time, dogs will have full access to backyard at their leisure. If they are unfamiliar with a dog door, I will train them. Litter box cleaned daily. And in the morning and evening some love and play time. I have a fenced in yard, dog door ( that locks) shelves and hiding spots for cats. I had made this an oasis for my cat and dog while they were still with us. Our free time is spent at the cat cafe, and the humane society. We will go walk the dogs there or play with the cats at both places. Any animal in need of love and attention, we are thrilled to provide it. Our dog passed of cancer 3 years ago and needed to be put down as it had spread and she was in terrible pain. It was a slow, and hard for to let go A year ago, our cat had this disease, and she became immobile immediately and was in chronic pain. It was such a quick loss. So I have been a little hesitant to bring another animal in full time. However, all animals are welcome and we look forward to building a safe spot for you and your pet while you are away.

Brandon and Courtney are absolutely the best! We have a very high energy pup who is currently learning his manners ;) Brandon and Courtney came over ready to learn his cues and they have been absolute life savers for us on long days while we are working or away for an afternoon. We would recommend them over and over again!

About: Brittney is a stay at home mom and dogsitters. Our daughter was born in February of 2020 and is great with dogs, she thinks she is one of the pack as she has been raised with dogs. One huge benefit of booking with us is that someone is almost always home so your pup (all dogs are pups no matter the age) will be lavished with attention. We live in a house in a quiet neighborhood and have a decent sized fenced in yard that includes a dog run. We have a doggie door that is open during the day while we are in the main area of the house. We do watch several dogs at a time and so it can be a zoo here sometimes. Pets are family and we would love to watch your family for you while you travel or work. They will be treated like one of our own. Someone is almost always home to pay attention to your pup. We play outside a lot when it’s nice out and everyone gets plenty of exercise running with the other pups. We treat your pet like we would ours. They are allowed on furniture and able to sleep in our bed if that’s what you’d prefer.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Barnes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Barnes on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Barnes. 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 Barnes. 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 Barnes.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Barnes. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
