About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.

About: Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently have three cats of my own and many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I’m patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. For pets boarding in my home, I understand that some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. If you prefer, I can keep my three cats completely separate from your pet for the entire stay, so your pet can relax in a safe, quiet environment. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: As someone who regularly helps care for a German Shepherd-Husky mix, I’m comfortable with large energetic dogs and the responsibility that comes with them. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine and preferences. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by treating every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine so they can feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a clients home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also respect my clients’ home and make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and exactly as they left it.

About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.

About: What sets me apart is my dependability and communication. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while providing regular updates so you can enjoy your time away without worry. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention while making sure your pet stays comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all instructions, maintain their normal routine, and ensure they always have fresh water, food, and a clean environment. I'll keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of attention, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits but have also cared for guinea pigs, turtles and fish. Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. I am available most days and times. My open availability leaves you with piece of mind knowing there's someone that can help any time of the day. I have a big yard and will be spending lots of time outside. Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in and outside the home. Even had my own cat (Princess) for five years before she passed. I’ve never been paid to take care of animals for people outside the family but I’ve done plenty of animal care for family members. I am on my off season for work till August 26th. My daily routine for when I’m off work like this is going to peddlers malls, parks, and hanging out inside reading or watching shows. Usually free during the week any time and the weekends I am generally more busy. I do not have the facilities to bring any pets back to my apartment but I always respect people’s wants for their pets especially since you’d be paying me to do a good job.

About: I’ve worked in animal shelters for more than a decade! Experienced with difficult behaviors, including arousal, resource guarding, stranger issues, and more. I use positive reinforcement only. Let me know what treats your pup prefers (or any allergies, special diets) so I can come equipped. I have dogs, cats, and exotic pets of my own. I love animals have dedicated my life to their wellbeing. I’m a skilled handler, my own dogs all present their own challenges (especially on walks). Experienced in administering medications, including injectables. I run with my dogs and would love to run with a client’s dog who is up for it! I’m also up for hikes, long walks, or just a slow stroll for my senior dog friends. Cannot accept client where I will need to use a shock collar, sorry. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility to be home or check in on animals. I love to walk and be outside, so if you pets enjoy sunbathing while I'm on zoom calls, they'll love my set up! I have a fully-fenced half acre yard and friendly animals. For drop ins and services in your home, I will follow your instructions to a tee!

About: I have nearly 10 years of hands on childcare experience and have cared for pets alongside families for years, so safety, structure, and attentiveness are second nature to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and ability to read behavior cues quickly. I am experienced with puppies and young pets who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and extra monitoring. Special skills include: • Puppy basics and reinforcement of training routines • Crate training support • Maintaining structured feeding and potty schedules • Senior pet support and comfort care • Administering oral medications • High energy breed management • Detailed updates with photos and communication you can rely on I treat every pet like they are my own while respecting your household rules and routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nanny, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule. During the school year, I often have breaks in the day while the child is at school or activities, which allows me time for drop in visits, walks, and check ins. I do not work late evenings, and my weekends are typically open, which gives me consistent availability for overnight stays and extended care. Because I’m already in a caregiving role professionally, being attentive, reliable, and routine oriented is built into my day to day life. Caring for animals complements my schedule well and allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and household rules exactly as outlined. I am extremely respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. Cleanliness, security, and clear communication are very important to me. You can expect reliable updates, photos, and prompt responses while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, low stress experience so your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their familiar space.

About: I have owned dogs since I was little. Now I have my very own dog and hopefully will have another in a few years. I have watched my friend's dogs before and helped care for sick dogs. I have a very fun and young Lab named Pheona. She’s a good first dog to call my own but I have learned so much from her. It also made my love for dogs stronger. I do not mind coming in and checking on dogs or cats. I also love going on walks with dogs and definitely would love to take dogs for a walk. I can also help keep up training or help out with training. I am comfortable around pretty much all sizes of dogs. I myself have a larger-sized dog but I have lived with a variety of sizes of dogs. I’m a very friendly individual so don’t be afraid to reach out to communicate with me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Buckner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Buckner on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,079 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Buckner. 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 Buckner. 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 Buckner.

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 Buckner. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
