“Max is always happy to see Kiffin and she is very easy to communicate with about what you want for your dog. Max needs to be urged along and not sniff every 2 seconds. Kiffin makes sure he gets some decent exercise!”
About: Hello, I'm Angela and I have been a dog and animal lover my whole life. I have watched dogs for family and neighbors for many years. My background is in psychology and I've definitely used that knowledge in understanding my own dogs and those I take care of. I'm currently undergoing a career change, so I have plenty of time on both weekdays and weekends to watch and play with your furry family members. I try to keep my availability as up-to-date as possible within the limited settings Rover has. I am adaptable to any routine that your pet is used to, such as feeding times and walks. I am familiar with rescues and the variability in their behavior and comfort with new people.
“Haley was great with my dog! She asked great questions to get to know her beforehand and was very knowledgeable about bigger dogs. I will definitely have her come back!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets. I am able to administer meds or whatever is needed. I work from home, so I am very flexible in my schedule. I can go to your house for boarding, or your pets can stay here. I love having toys around for the pups to play with. Very pet friendly environment. I do not have any other pets in my home. I only have one booking at a time. I want to make sure to give your fur babies all the love they deserve. Its only me at my home. My son is in college.
“Mike is fantastic, he communicates and sends updates with pictures every time. We have a large (85lbs) German Shepard that is reactive towards other dogs and Mike is always very careful and gives him lots of attention - our pup loves him! He also takes care of our cats and feed them 2x a day. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”
“This is the second time I’ve hired Amber for dog walking and just like the previous time, she did a great job, She’s very skilled with my senior dog and her visits are usually the highlight of my dog’s day. She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”

“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”

“Rachelle and Christopher took such great care of my pups while I was at work. They went Above and beyond, also great communication. Highlight of my busy work day was seeing the pictures from their walks! Thank you”
“Candace has been great to work with! She's very communicative, reliable, consistent, timely. Not to mention, she obviously cares very much about my Harvey and takes great care of him! She goes the extra mile to play with him and pet him, depending on his mood, and always cleans up if he's had an accident in the house before she arrives. Candace also takes very cute pictures of Harvey on their walks, which I always appreciate.”
About: I was born into a dog loving family. I have extensive experience with puppies all the way until their passing as I have had my childhood dogs for 15-18 years. One of them sadly passed away 2 years ago and the other needs extensive care now with medications every morning and night. Potty training experience with puppies and senior dogs who need diapers. I know what it's like to take an energetic puppy on a walk to a senior dog who just needs a short walk to get some movement in their legs. I have recently started my own business but still want to pursue my other daily passion in my life as a life long dog lover. I have more dog beds and toys than I can count. Plenty of pee pads, diapers, gates, and a big yard for play time and potty breaks.

Kiffin came through for us in a pinch and was able to walk Palmer on very short notice while we were both stuck at work. She was incredibly communicative, sent a detailed update, and clearly took great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Palmer seemed to love her, and we’ll absolutely be reaching out to Kiffin again. Highly recommend!
Fiona was amazing with our dog. She was able to work on short notice, and was flexible. She showed up on time, and our dog was in great hands. She also hung out with him, and sat on the front porch with him - which was a nice touch showing that she cared deeply about animals.
Capable, reliable, and friendly to people and pets. It was easy to communicate with him and coordinate the care of my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy. It's obvious that he has experience and enjoys dogs. If he can care for my energetic, bouncing puppy then I know he will take excellent care of your older pets. I plan to keep his name on my rebook list. Thank you for helping me out.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Des Peres on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 .

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 Des Peres. 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 Des Peres.

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 Des Peres. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
