About: I come from a farming background, and have cared for dogs and cats in a variety of environments. I worked as a livestock manager for farming operations a total of 5+ years, besides having owned and raised many of my own pets since I was a kid. I have often volunteered to pet sit for friends and relatives, including both dogs and cats. I can handle all basic daily needs, feeding, walking, monitoring, and even administer medications if required. I am on a seasonal break for the holidays, and looking to supplement my income. I can visit daily within a reasonable distance, or stay overnights when required. Aside from some dates I will block out around Christmas, I have open availability! I will come to you for pet care. Cats will be fed according to their schedule, litter cleaned daily. Dogs will be walked at or near feeding times, and let out for potty breaks as needed throughout the day. Lots of love given at all times! If there are other medical needs I will need details of their care when setting up an appointment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11yo. I’ve cared for Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Rat Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Papillions, Irish Wolfhounds, Pit Bulls, Bichon Frisés, and more. I have four dogs now: German Shepherd Mix, German Shorthaired Pointer, and two Pembroke Corgis. I’m familiar with small and large dogs. I’m non-judgmental and understanding if your baby has separation-anxiety. I work 8AM to 4PM Monday through Thursday, but am free to watch your babies in the evening and Friday through Sunday. I provide drop-in visits and house-sitting. I have a fenced-in yard, two crates and four dogs all ready to be their new best friend! I do prefer to watch them in your home, not mine as I have one dog that isn’t the most friendly.
About: When I’m pet sitting your best friends, they will receive Play Time, Constant Attention, Affection, Love, as well as a safe environment to be in. Animals are my passion and are a ginormous part of my life. I will go above and beyond for your four-legged best friend 💪🏽 after all…. It’s what they deserve for their undying loyalty. I’m currently a student who studies virtually from home. I have open availability throughout the entire week. Being a student allows me to have a lot of free time. Your fur babies will be exercised, loved, and be safe at all times with me. I look forward to taking care of your best friend I have a dog named Bear who’s an absolute sweetheart. His daily schedule is eating supplements, vitamins, and his food once in the morning and once at night. He takes 1-2 hour daily trips to the Dog Park, and well as receiving constant affection and love. Your dog deserves the same treatment.

About: Hi, I'm Danny! I’m a dog trainer and enrichment-focused sitter based in Nashville, TN. I’ve been working with dogs for over 20 years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them happy. While I do great with all dogs, I especially have a soft spot for high-energy pups and strong personalities — the ones people often say are “a lot of dog.” Whether it’s a German Shepherd, Malinois, Rottweiler, or just an energetic family dog that needs more structure, I’m here to help them succeed. My approach is simple: your dog doesn’t just get watched — they get engaged. Every visit includes some level of enrichment, whether that’s structured walks, light training, play, or helping reinforce good habits. This keeps your dog mentally stimulated, which usually means a calmer, happier pup when you get home. I’ve also worked with: Puppies who are still learning the basics (potty training, routines, etc.) Senior dogs who need a slower, more patient approach Dogs with special needs, including hearing or vision loss Reactive or strong-willed dogs that need someone confident and consistent No matter the dog, I adjust to their needs and energy. I work from home full-time, so your dog gets real attention — not someone rushing in and out between a busy schedule. I also make sure you stay updated with photos, videos, and clear communication so you always feel at ease. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs calm companionship or someone who can match their energy, you can count on me to show up with patience, structure, and genuine care. If you think we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out — I’d love to meet you and your dog! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, complementing my outdoor adventures and entrepreneurial endeavors. While I cherish my time in nature, I ensure that my furry friends receive ample love and attention during indoor moments, especially as I work on e-commerce platforms that celebrate my profound affection for dogs. Whether it's romping through the great outdoors or nurturing my digital ventures, pet care remains a cherished priority woven into the fabric of my life. At both my home and my client's, your pet's well-being is my top priority. They'll receive constant supervision under my watchful eye. If I need to step out briefly, your pet will either accompany me or stay in our specially designated play area. This secure space is equipped with all the essentials: water, a cozy bed, doggie TV for entertainment, and a camera for continuous monitoring, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. Your pet's happiness and security are paramount in every aspect of their care with me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when we adopted a stray that was pregnant. Throughout Sweetie’s pregnancy, birthing, and weening, and our raising of her puppy Zorro, my mom taught me all about dogs, since her dad used to breed pugs and cavalier King Charles spaniels. Before Sweetie came to us, I had been wanting another dog, as our previous golden retriever, Jasmine, had been stolen. So, my mom bought me several books on all the different dog breeds, so I could educate myself on what to expect and what I wanted when we got our next dog. I learned so much throughout this time, and have only continued my education and experience with dogs. I love dogs so much that sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. Every dog I meet, no matter how old, will always be a puppy to me. I sometimes think that the closest we will ever get to experiencing a physical manifestation of the love of God, is the love dogs have for us. I’m self-employed and currently don’t have any pets, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog(s) routines! Noting and being aware of any specifications, such as meds, their usual routine/schedule, unique preferences, and any special requests the owner has made. Consistency is so important in maintaining mental health and stability for your pets!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carthage is $3 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $11 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Carthage. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Carthage after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 92% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
