“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.
“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”
“Mari was great with our pet, Mali G. He is quick to respond and Mali G really enjoyed their walks this week. We received the report cards and it was easy to communicate via the Rover app. We look forward to having our pet in good hands with Mari the next time, he is great with pets!”
About: I am Happy and Joyful always and dogs deserve the happiest day as possible! They are the sweetest creatures on planet earth. It’s my pleasure to be there for them! I am the mom of two dogs and I’m currently a student online so I have availability all throughout the day seven days a week! My pets are allowed on the furniture, and they have dog beds and clean water bowls. They get homemade meals, we go on tons of walks in the summertime. They get new toys and fresh femur bones, biweekly and they are not just our pets. They are our family members.
About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.
About: I’ve personally had both dogs and cats just about my entire life. I also have over 2 years of experience working at a cage-free doggy daycare and boarding facility. I worked both day shifts and overnight shifts where I would look after up to 35 dogs at a time by myself. I would entertain the dogs, complete full body health checks, and feed the dogs myself. I have plenty of experience administering medication safely to dogs of all sizes and ages. I also have a week of experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I provided general care for the cats and dogs. I just recently moved to Rushville, IN. While I am still looking for a regular job, I am completely available for pet care during the week. I am very attentive to the client and pet’s needs. I pay close attention to detail while providing authentic love and affection for pets. It is important to me to treat clients pets as though they were my own.
About: You can also go to my business page on Facebook. Haylie's Whiskers and Wags Pet Care I have cared for many different breeds of dogs. Whether that be just feeding, to training and grooming. I have had my personal pets for over 10 years. I have a very open schedule and I am open most of the time. I could fulfill a full or part-time schedule for any owners in need. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs eat off a feeding schedule. I have also potty trained all of my dogs. I bathe my dogs once a mouth to every two mouths as well to keep them not matted and promote hair and skin health. I do this full time. Whether that is boarding, drop-ins, doggy day care or grooming. I love my job everyday spending time with the fur babies. Getting to know them and their mom and dad. I have a fenced in backyard with a fenced portion in the front. The dogs are constantly able to be observed through the day because I do this full time and when I'm not able to they are if needed in a crate. Like my pups are when I have to leave at anytime.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have knowledge with working dogs, police, dogs, rescue dogs, all of the above. I have a retired police dog and a rescue pup along with three cats. I’m familiar with young dogs, senior dogs dogs that need medication, all that fun stuff. I’m very passionate about helping and taking care of animals and I thoroughly enjoy meeting all different types of animals and getting to know their personalities. I just graduated high school so I am free every day. I’m willing to do overnight days, weekly stays drop in visits. My schedule is always very flexible. We don’t have a fence so one dog goes outside on a leash and the other dog has recall so he doesn’t need a leash. In clients homes I always follow the checklist or rules that are sent to me. I don’t wanna risk anything bad happening. I feed on schedule, give meds when needed, provide multiple potty breaks, and always make time for playtime.
About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 16 years, passionate about animals since a kid. Skilled in all areas including medicating, health care, special dietary needs ect. I work from home, and would love to spend time with your fur baby. We can go on nice long walks early in the morning time and throughout the day. Contact me with any questions about specific needs. In my home animal boarding is best for me but I can be flexible. Send me a message and we can come up with a plan together!
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life. I have lots of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I have worked with high and low energy dogs, puppies, and older dogs. I am off of work in the summers and have free time in some afternoons and weekends during the typical school year (August through May). I am dedicated to pet safety and giving them lots of love. I scan the environment I am in to ensure safety of everyone involved.
About: I have watched and taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I have great experience with animals I first meet, even if they seem a bit mean. I have raised my own dog for the past 10 years with issues in anxiety, from pup to adult pup! I understand feeding times and how important they can be to making sure medication is delivered appropriately. While i travek with my wife, i have dealt with a wide variety of dogs from the app, nothing has been to hard to deal with or anything i couldnt handle! With patience and adaptability is how I persevere. I am also LGBTQ+ friendly! I do not discriminate and want to foster good relationships with my clients so they know I can be trusted to take care if their pet! (Or home, in the event I house sit!) I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!
About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!
About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats for over 8 years now. I’ve taken them to the park, feed, bathe, etc. I have been relied on by many different people and I never like to disappoint a client. I am a recent college graduate with plans on going back to school to further my education and working part-time mostly in the evenings so I would be available during the day and Im also available on weekends. I have two dogs myself that are trained and when it comes to a clients dog, I would be make sure to abide by their rules only and make sure they are comfortable with everything. I’m currently a student and working part time so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your pups! I will always work my schedule around the pets that I am watching to make sure they come first! In a clients home, I will play with the dog(s) by either running our back with them or throwing a ball and in the house by playing with toys and giving all of my attention!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, starting with my own pets and helping neighbors with theirs. Now that I’m 18, I have two pets of my own and have trained them myself using basic commands like sit, stay, shake, and more. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, love, consistency, and attentive care, and I’ll treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I enjoy keeping a consistent routine, which helps me provide reliable care for every pet. My mornings typically begin with feeding, potty breaks, and a walk or playtime. Throughout the day, I make time for exercise, enrichment, fresh water, and lots of attention. In the evenings, I focus on another walk, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable before bedtime. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily life because I’ve always had pets and enjoy spending time with them. Whether it’s walks, play sessions, training, or simply giving them love and companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also administer any medications if instructed, keep their living area clean, and respect your home by leaving it just as I found it. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos for your peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,717 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carthage. 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 Carthage. 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 Carthage.
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 Carthage. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
