“Emily has been a lifesaver in walking our very strong and energetic pointer puppy. Sammie is excited to see her arrive each time. Emily has good communication and is reliable. I can recommend her without hesitation.”
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”
“Julie took Rory on a long walk every day we were out of town, even in the pouring rain. They did brisk walks so Rory got good exercise, and was happy. We appreciated her flexing her walk times to find breaks in the atmospheric river rain event.”
“I am so incredibly grateful for Alicia. I had an unexpected emergency and had to rush to the hospital, she was able to step in and take care of my dog on such short notice. During an already stressful situation, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in caring hands. What touched me even more is her thoughtfulness, compassion, and willingness to help when I really needed it meant more than I can say. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. ❤️”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs in the house, even one gerbil! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals since the age of 12, and I have experience administering medication and feel comfortable with any extra care your pet may require. I am a freelancer and my last contract ended recently. I am appreciating this downtime, which means I have an open schedule to provide care throughout the day for your pets. I would like to meet your pet in their own environment to keep continuity, and am happy to set up a check-in schedule with you for updates about your pet’s day and routine, including pictures if requested.
“Nadine was super responsive and flexible when I needed last minute help with walking my dog. Nadine was great at communicating before and during the walk if there were any questions and being patient with my stubborn boy. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! My mother was a dog breeder, meaning I have experience with puppies! I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have a dog in the house growing up, wasn’t till recently that I haven’t had a pet in the home. I’m a single mom to an animal loving 3 year old, who would be my little helper. I currently work in the medical field meaning I’m comfortable administering all kind of medications, whether that be topical, oral, or injectable medications. I have done pet sitting in the past, I have taken care of many kinds of animals, dogs, cats, horses, livestock, you name it I’ve probably taken care of it! I currently work full time, but I am home on evening and weekends, so I’m home starting Friday night to Sunday night to take your pup out as often as possible. During the week I am gone typically 12-14 hours a day, but if your pup is use to that I can make it work to let them out in the morning and then rush back to let them out once I’m home. I live in a duplex with a small fence in area that I can do quick potty breaks and then live close to walking trails for longer outside times. I have a 3 year old daughter who loves to play with animals. I also love close to parks that I can take dogs to if owner is comfortable with me transporting them. I also live close to my sister who has an active dog who loves friends to play with so that is an option if you have a high energy dog that likes friends.
About: Hi! I'm Nate, and if you've got a dog who needs a walk, a cat who needs a buddy, or a pup who just wants a solid hang — you've found the right human. I didn't just grow up around animals — I grew up with them. We're talking dogs, cats, birds, and full-on farm animals. At any given point in my childhood, our place was basically a petting zoo with a roof. I've hand-fed, cleaned up after, played with, and genuinely loved more species than most people have on their bucket list. These days I'm a proud dog owner myself, and I've also fostered for multiple rescues and organizations — including the Puerto Rico Dog Fund and Many Miles from Home Animal Shelter — so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your fur baby. What does all of that experience mean for your pup? It means I'm calm in chaos, patient with personalities, and I actually enjoy watching animals just... be themselves. Whether your dog is a zoomies-at-6am type or a "I will sniff this one blade of grass for 45 seconds" type — I'm here for all of it. My goal is simple: to be the person your dog loses their mind over when they hear my car pull up. Walks, hangouts, check-ins — whatever your pet needs, I bring the energy, the patience, and the genuine love of animals to back it up. Your furry friend won't just be in good hands. They'll be having the time of their life. 🐕 I work from home, so your pet gets real quality time — not just a quick pop-in between meetings! I'm also an early riser, so mornings mean walks, fresh air, and getting those zoomies out before most people even hit snooze. Whether I'm at your place or mine, I follow your rules — feeding schedules, routines, preferred spots on the couch, all of it. You know your pet best and I'm here to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. If your pet stays with me, they'll have a fully fenced backyard to roam and my 4-year-old smaller German Shepherd to show them the ropes — she's basically the ultimate icebreaker.
“Christine was amazing! She was so patient with ozzy from the first time she met him! She took the time to get to know him 🥰 she was timely, caring, and would love to have her with ozzy again!”
About: I had two golden retrievers that I loved so much. I hope I can provide the care to them as they provide so much unconditional love to us. Right now I am on vacation. I can do pet services during the weekdays and weekends. After August 15th I will do weekends and/or holidays. I like to walk with them. Cuddle with them, play with them. Talking to them . Be sure that the fur babies are comfortable and taken care of.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. I love going on walks, playing, giving plenty of cuddles, and making sure each dog feels safe and loved while their family is away. I currently work on weekends, so I have plenty of availability during the week for pet care. I’m flexible with my schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention and care they need. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. I follow your instructions carefully, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands
“Thank you for taking care of our dogs! We have been looking for someone we can rely on in the coming weeks to help walk our dogs and feel so thankful to have found that someone in you!”
About: I work at a pet hospital that specializes in the care of cats and dogs, where I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with a variety of medical conditions and specific needs, including dietary restrictions and medication administration. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have about 2 and a half years of pet-sitting experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 I am available primarily on weekends, as I work full-time during the week. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your pet's safety and their environment with the same care and respect I would give my own fur babies. I follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines closely, making sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and stay on their regular schedule as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home and keep things clean and tidy while I’m there. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide loving, attentive care that ensures your pets feel safe, comfortable, and nurtured while you're away. With hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it's gentle senior care, administering medications, or helping puppies through basic training and housebreaking, I bring patience, consistency, and affection to every interaction. I treat every pet like family, keeping their routines, comfort, and happiness at the heart of what I do. You can count on me to keep you updated and your pet well-loved until you return. As a college student returning home for summer, pet care will be part of my daily routine through feeding, walking, grooming, and spending quality time with your pet(s). Caring for your pets in your home is a responsibility I take seriously. I tailor my approach depending on the type of service you book, always prioritizing safety, comfort, and trust. Every pet is unique, so I customize my care to meet their needs and your preferences. My goal is for you to feel confident—and for your pet to feel happy and safe—every time I visit.
About: As a college athlete, I’m active, responsible, and used to sticking to a routine. I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love giving pets attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m patient with nervous or shy pets and happy to match each animal’s energy level, whether that means a long walk, playtime, or a cozy day at home. I am comfortable handlings dogs of any size. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care is already a regular part of my everyday life. I take care of my cat daily and help keep our 2 family dogs happy, active, and well exercised. I’m used to being attentive to their needs, keeping up with their routines, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so adding pet care to my daily routine feels very natural to me. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable environment, follow their normal routines, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure doors, gates, and other entrances are secure. I also keep pet areas clean and communicate with owners if anything seems unusual. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re away.

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 Gladstone. 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 Gladstone.

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 Gladstone. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
