About: Hi there! I’m a big animal lover and I would love to take care of your fur baby. I'm available weekdays as well as weekends. I live 5 minutes away from a park so going for little run or a nice walk will always be something fun to do. If you plan on leaving your dog with me more than one night I'm totally comfortable with that. We have a nice fenced in play area at the apartment complex for the dogs to run around. I am willing to take your dog to get groomed or bathed if your schedule is too busy. I'm your go to girl. If your dog is ready for some adventure then let's get this party started. Thank you. I work mornings full time from 7am-3pm. I’m free on Fridays and every other weekend. I always go home on my lunch break to check on my pets. My pets are allowed all over the house, they sleep in bed with me, and I let them on the couch as well. They are my roommates and have the same privileges as me lol
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life and bring a calm, patient vibe to every visit—but I love dogs just as much, so tail wags are always welcome too! I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, whether that means cozy cuddles, zoomie-fueled playtime, or just being a reassuring presence while you’re away. Expect plenty of pets, play, fresh food and water, and a sparkling clean litter box for cats—or fun walks, outdoor time, and belly rubs for dogs. I offer pet sitting and drop-ins across the metro area. My flexible schedule (and free weekends!) means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine. I’m experienced with oral and topical medications and treat every furry friend like my own—because they deserve nothing less 🐾 I'm currently on the hunt for a new Agency position, so my days and weeks are completely free currently. Able to be booked at any time. I tailor my care to each pet and the service you choose, because every animal has their own routine and personality. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible—sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite playtime activities. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with fresh food and water, and I keep their spaces clean (litter boxes, food areas, etc.). For dogs, that usually means walks, outdoor time, and lots of play (plus belly rubs, of course). For cats, I match their vibe—whether that’s interactive play or just quiet companionship and gentle pets. I’m also experienced with oral and topical medications and always keep an eye on behavior and health, so I can catch anything unusual early. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

All animals are a friend of mine! I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and abilities.

“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 a cat that I have been raising since June of 2024 since he was a little kitten. I love and cherish him and have learned a lot of patience over the past year while raising him. I also have a love for dogs and I have a little experience with them as well. I am a self-employed delivery driver, so I have a lot of free time, and I am flexible but right now I am only able to accept morning care for pets. I stick to routine and consistency when it comes to pets because that is what works best in most situations. If the pet has no structure in its life and its environment is full of chaos, then that leaves room for pet aggression and may cause the pet to be out of control. I also making sure to give them plenty of play time can reduce a lot of misbehavior and disobedience.
About: Have had many dogs and cats in a city environment and many in a country environment. Been taking care of them since I could remember! Pretty flexible and open, I work from home. I live with my girlfriend who is also on rover. Just reach out and we can talk about it! I recently moved into a great neighborhood!

I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
About: I've been working with animals since I was 12, from volunteering at shelters to learning how to groom from my sister! I currently work at the Hamilton County Humane Society as the Behavior Coordinator (and previously as a vet assistant), and also am earning my animal behavior degree. I have lots of animal experience with all different kinds of animals, including exotics! I have been working with and training animals with behavioral issues for 2 years now, and it's become my biggest passion. From resource guarding to stranger reactivity, I will always give any animal with any issue my love and support! I am currently working full time at HCHS. I have an hour and a half break during the day as well so I can visit and give potty & play breaks at least 3 times a day! I am more than willing to work with any rules you have for your animals and home! Your happiness and pet's safety is my number one priority. :)
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,673 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Emporia. 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 Emporia. 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 Emporia 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 Emporia. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
