Alexis was prompt and attentive during her visits. Her communication with us is great and she has gone above and beyond to take care of Ranger. She knows how to handle dogs and has done really well with ours! We will definitely request her again.

Wendy was beyond amazing. She was super available last minute to help me with my plans, and even came by before so my reactive dog could meet her and I could show her things. She sent me great updates and photos about what they were doing, like a very cute one of my dog sniffing flowers! I could not recommend her more highly.

About: I was raised arounds all kinds of animals since I can remember. I love indoor and outdoor pets just the same! I’ve dog sat and house sat many times for friends, families, and strangers who have all asked me to come back because of my low rates, flexibility, and playful attitude. I love caring and loving on animals, walking dogs, and giving them the best care possible, no matter ages and sizes. I am available for walks and drop-ins as early as 6am through until the evenings. My weekends are usually flexible, so let’s talk about it! I would be so excited to have an opportunity to love and care for your dog(s) and/or cat(s)! I am a nanny in Cookeville, I am free for drop ins and walks M-F before 8am and after 1:30! Weekends are flexible, so just check with me. Sometimes I can be wherever I am needed within a couple of hours. I treat each pet with the care I would if they were my own. I can respond to a number of needs. I can bring them to a park to run if they are active. Or I can let them out at home in their own space.

About: I grew up in a house where the dogs ran the show, so I’ve been living in their world my entire life. I’ve loved and lived with everything from massive, goofy Pitbulls who forgot how big they were, to spicy Miniature Schnauzers who thought they ruled the neighborhood (plus a whole bunch of chaotic, wonderful mutts who deserve all the trophies). I also have a massive soft spot for the "golden oldies" club. Having loved and cared for my own senior dogs, I know exactly what it takes to look after an aging pup. I’m totally comfortable with strict medication schedules, lifting them into the car, or just going at a snail's pace on a walk so they can sniff every single blade of grass. Whether your pup is a high-energy land shark who needs to burn off steam, or a sweet senior who just wants to snooze on my feet while I watch TV, they’ll be treated like absolute family. Because I primarily take online classes and have a minimal school schedule, my calendar is incredibly open! I have a ton of free time throughout the week and even more flexibility on the weekends, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. The only time I am unavailable is for a few late-night classes three days a week. Other than those brief windows, I am completely free! Because my schedule is so open, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine. Whether they need a mid-day walk, morning medication, or just someone around to keep them company while you're away. When your pet is with me, their safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I treat every animal in my care exactly like a member of my own family, which means a secure environment, lots of supervision, and zero stress for you. My home is a pet-friendly, loving sanctuary. Because I have my own pets and have experience with fosters, my space is thoroughly pet-proofed (no loose cords, toxic plants, or easily reachable snacks!). Your pet will have plenty of room to lounge, explore, and find a cozy spot to nap. I am incredibly respectful of your space and will strictly follow whatever house rules you have in place. I make sure doors are locked, gates are secure, and routines are followed down to the letter. And I will NEVER assume anything about your pet!!

I care for animal in any clients home based on exactly what their pets are In need of which is explained to me by the clients themselves, whatever the pet needs is exactly what they will get and more. I am more than a bare minimum pet sitter, I am a pet and animal lover which makes all the difference!

About: I’ve grown up around multiple animals, having dogs and cats and other exotic animals. I also used to watch neighbor’s pets if they needed me to. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.

Austin was a life saver for us and our new adopted pup. Austin is responsive, professional, and really good with our dog. He gives him treats and belly rubs after his walk, uploads pictures, and even offered to work with him on some commands we’ve been working with him on. Highly recommend Austin.

About: I don’t just watch dogs — I care for them the way I’d want someone to care for my own. I’m experienced at reading body language, honoring routines, and creating a calm, safe environment where dogs feel secure and loved. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or just wants extra snuggles, I adapt my care to them, not the other way around. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Dog sitting fits naturally into my schedule, allowing me to give focused, unrushed attention throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection and supervision. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routine, providing attentive feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of comfort, safety, and affection

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a 8 years old. I specialize in senior dog care and special needs care. I love all animals. I'm at home full - time. I'm available 24/7 to take care of your pet and love on them as if they were my own. I would take your dog out on a leash everytime for potty breaks. My dog, Chico, uses a tie out chain, but that's his routine and only used for him. I would personally take your pet on a leash and never let them out of my sight. If your pet needed to be in a crate, I have a small size and medium size. I let animals on furniture for naps and cuddles and on the bed for any overnight stays.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Baxter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Baxter on Rover is $26.64 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 179 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Baxter. 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 Baxter. 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 Baxter.

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 Baxter. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
