“I’m so thankful to Megan for coming in and walking my 7 week old puppy 3x in a day while I was at work. She kept in contact with me and sent the best pics of my Jack! Will be using her again.”
About: Former cat owner experienced in dog walking, with a passion for your fur baby’s exercise, safety and comfort ❤️🐾! Here to provide a fun little journey for your buddy. Currently my schedule is very flexible. My weekly schedule allows for me to accommodate my routine based on your fur babies needs. My goal is to build a consistent routine around your pets! I am not thinking of doing in house care just because my house is small and i don’t think it gives animals enough room to play in!
About: Safety is my top priority when caring for your sweet pup. I love to go on walks and play fetch with dogs. I enjoy loving on dogs and ensuring they are well cared for. As I have a sweet pup of my own, I am only able to offer 30-min drop-ins or walk sessions. Each weekly schedule varies, but I am happy to help out where I can. You can count on me to care for your pup the way I care for mine! I work 3 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital which leaves 4 days a week for me to be able to help care for your pup. My pup has a big playpen that he stays in while I’m away at work. Inside his playpen he has a large puppy cabin that he treats as his house. My pup has all the chew toys he could ever want as well as a large stuffed animal to play with! My pup is provided with stimulating toys to keep his mind engaged throughout the day. We love to go on walks and play in the grass each day.
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 had cats and dogs in my home since I was a young child and feel comfortable around all animals. I love that, through Rover, I can step in as needed to provide seamless care and attention to other people's beloved furbabies. I am a substitute teacher and, during the week, can easily fit in multiple drop-in visits with my flexible schedule. I also have most weekends free, allowing me to offer Saturday and Sunday services. I am comfortable feeding wet and/or dry food, refilling water bowls/fountains and scooping litter boxes. I will also use my time to provide cats with attention like pets, hair brushing and play time.
About: I have worked at a dog boarding and grooming facility for three years, and used to work in the kennels at a veterinary clinic. I'm used to working with dogs and cats and am comfortable with their body language and different temperaments. I am currently open for every day at any times but would prefer to discuss so I could work around my work schedules, I have my own transportation so I am able to visit any time needed I am willing to go visit your pet, walk them, play with them, and possibly bath them. I love spending time with dogs and like walks, runs, or just sitting and enjoying the weather with your fur baby.
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.
About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
