“Sarah was really friendly to meet and great at communicating when we were away. She sent us pictures of the pets. We felt good that someone was dropping by the house while we were gone. Additionally, we loved that our dogs were getting worn out so they didn't focus their energies on the couch! I will most definitely be contacting Sarah again when we travel.”

About: I have had pets all my life and can’t imagine life without them. I’m one of those people who sees a dog and gets excited. My own 4 dogs and 1 cat are my world. I have experience with dogs who have seizures, dogs who have liver shunt disorders and dogs with anxiety issues. I know how hard it is to find a sitter when I have to go out of town. I would love to give pet owners the peace of mind they need to enjoy their time away. Now that I have retired from teaching, my availability has increased. I’m available for twice daily visits/walks. If you’re in the Carthage area, I can do more than 2 visits if needed. As retired teacher, I am now able to do twice daily visits and more if you live in the Carthage area. I can do mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I would love to care for pets in their own environments. I would take the time to spend with them making sure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.

About: I have always loved dogs and taking care of them for friends and family. I have taken care of a variety of dogs from the size of a Chihuahua to a Labrador. When my grandparents would go on trips, they always trusted me to care for their dogs. I have taken care of puppies and older dogs, some who have needed medicine or special care. I have house sat for my sister while taking care of her lab and husky for a week. My previous roommate recommended me to her friend to take care of her dog and cat several times. A couple times I have housed a friend's dog when he goes on trips. I recently started helping train a friends puppy who is full of energy. Every Saturday for about 4 years, I helped my parent's neighbor take care of the foster dogs she housed. I would help feed them, take them outside, and put them in crates when they were off to be adopted. One time she had a litter of puppies, so I would go and help take care of them or help the mom rest from the puppies. When she would go on vacation, my family would take care of her own dogs. I am currently looking for work, so I am free during most of each week. I attend church Sunday morning and have church group on Tuesday and Thursday nights. These activities will not get in the way of me taking care of your pets. I do not have any dogs of my own, but I am considered an aunt to many dogs by their owners. I will follow the routine and house rules that you have set for your pets when I take care of them in your house. I am able to take your pets on walks or to the park, if allowed. I can watch your pets while they are roaming around the backyard, if needed. I have some experience crating dogs.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Carthage on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 102 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.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
