About: I’ve had private clients over the past two years consistent of house sitting and dog walking. Moving to a new area and switching to Rover to meet new pets to care for. I currently have open weekends and work a 9/80 schedule allowing me to be off every other Friday and available to help your pets! I provide attentive, loving care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring safety, clean environments, regular exercise, fresh water, meals, medication support, and consistent communication with owners.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines. I currently care for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home and closely supervise all pets at all times. I create a calm, secure environment and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 12 years, growing up in a home with dogs and other animals. From a young age, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they felt safe, happy, and loved. I'm currently studying biology in college with the goal of becoming a veterinarian, so caring for animals isn't just something I enjoy—it's the career I'm working toward. I'm passionate about animal health and well-being, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. I'm a responsible, patient, and dependable pet sitter who understands that every pet has their own routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment I arrive. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I'm committed to following their normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. I'm responsible, dependable, and always make caring for pets a priority. I'll keep you updated throughout each visit with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I'm generally available from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but I'm always willing to be flexible and accommodate your schedule whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions and your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed and instructed), and any household rules you have in place. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to make them feel comfortable while respecting their space and personality. I'll also keep your home clean and secure, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are properly handled at all times. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.
About: I have grown up with and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My wife and I both love dogs and hope to meet yours! My wife and I both work full time from home. We are home during the day at minimum 90%. We have a house with no kids and no other pets. We can provide as much attention to your dog as needed! I have a small fenced private patio, 2 dog parks, and 2 large parks within walking distance.
“Kayla provided great care for my pup for several weeks with walks and a weekend stay. She was attentive to my needs and my pups needs and even took her to get exercise at the park! She was prompt and followed all of my detailed instructions (and I can be a very picky dog mom). And, she provided lots of updates with adorable pics of my pup showing how happy and content she was while with Kayla. Kayla even went above and beyond after a day-long stay and brought me my car keys when I accidentally locked them in the trunk! Kayla is very responsible and trustworthy and I will be happy to have her back again when I need someone to care of my baby girl! Thanks so much Kayla! I really appreciate you!”
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
“Sarah is wonderful with my dog Nala. I think Nala looks forward to her walks with her. It helps to have someone reliable to come by and spend time with Nala while I am at work.”
“Leo is amazing! My DioG (Pitbull) gets so excited when he comes to pick him up. He’s a great Walker, Dog Trainer, and a Friend to my DioG. He checks in on Dio when we are away and makes sure he’s taken care of. I highly recommend him for any dog service.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Forest Park is $25

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Exceptional Care for Luna & Lola! I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. She took care of my Great Dane, Lola, and my Belgian Shepherd, Luna, and was truly incredible from start to finish. Her communication was beyond amazing she kept me updated every step of the way, sent so many thoughtful photos, and made sure I always knew how my girls were doing. As a dog mom, that level of communication meant everything. Most importantly, my dogs were not only safe they were genuinely happy, loved, and cared for. You can tell immediately when someone truly loves animals, and that was so evident in the way she cared for both of them. Luna is a high energy Belgian Shepherd, and Lola is a giant sweetheart Great Dane, so caring for both takes someone special and she handled them beautifully. I came home to happy, well loved dogs and complete peace of mind, which is priceless. I would book her again in a heartbeat and absolutely hope she’s available the next time we need care. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Chelsea always does such a great job and was available last minute this past week to walk our dog at various times! She is so kind with our husky, makes sure she has ample water, and gives her love and attention. We’re so appreciative for how she’s able to help out our busy household!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest Park on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,755 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest Park. 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 Forest Park. 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 Forest Park.

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 Forest Park. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
