About: Hello, I have had experience with dogs my whole life, especially giant dogs, from Great Danes to mastiffs, from Shepard to labs, my family has owned and trained them all. I love to spend time learning how to train and engage with dogs of all breeds, I am not discriminatory towards any breed! All our dogs were raised since they were weeks old. Walking, exercise, training, feeding, snuggling, I’ve done it all. I work as a mechanic 4 days out of the week from 7-6pm. My shift rotates I always have Sunday and Mondays off and every other Friday and Saturday. If you have questions about my availability I’ll be happy to answer, I don’t mind pet sitting at anytime. I am willing to work around my schedule. I am currently in an apartment, if your puppet has good behavior when I step out I don’t mind leaving them out. I am familiar with crate training, so I can also put your puppet into crate if you feel more comfortable. Since I am in a small home I would take the pup out 3 times a day for walking/bathroom/exercise.

About: Hello! My name is Michael, and animals have been a central passion of mine throughout my life. As someone with autism, people are less my forte, but caring and interacting with animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household where everyone was allergic to dander except me, so I got my animal fix by pet-sitting for friends and neighbors—both dogs and cats. I’m used to housesitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also have some higher education with veterinary assisting, which has come in handy with the animals under my care. I was only able to adopt my cat from a shelter a few years ago, but I am no stranger to all sorts of animals (reptiles, birds, small mammals all included—I have experience with caring for all wide variety of creatures!), all with a wide range of personalities. Every pet is different, and I take care to adapt to each individual’s needs. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I am in the process of applying for disability, during which time I am otherwise available outside of my appointments during the week. Tuesdays are typically my busiest days. I am most available on the weekends, where my days are completely free to devote to your pet(s)! I do not board at my residence, as my cat is an anxious fluffball. However, when it comes to client homes, I like to make sure that your pet’s routine is as familiar as when their pet parent is home. I work to make sure that although their people might be temporarily absent, it is a positive experience and not a devastating waiting period; every animal deserves to be treated with as much attention and care as they need, the more the better. Any particular treats they enjoy, toys, playtime, places to visit on outings, specific times for feedings—all are great information for me to give your pet the experience they deserve.

About: I have been working with animals of all kinds since I was a teen. Between working at pet stores and kennels, plus the zoo I have at my house. I provide invaluable experience and professionalism. I work for a local school district and have all major holidays off, plus every weekend. That means when you finally have the time to travel and do the things you love, I am here to care for your babies. In a client's home, I take care to make sure that nothing gets disturbed. In the past, I always scanned to make sure that nothing was broken or eaten. I always make sure there are no potty messes or hairballs, and I clean them up if there are. I also always make sure to message the owners if anything seems out of the usual. Updates on eating, potty, and litter habits. And of course, if they get into anything or have accidents.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and growing up with my own, I have always had a special soft spot for pets. While I haven’t provided pet care through an app before, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and community members’ dogs and cats, including house sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and walks while their owners were away. In addition to growing up with two cats and an dog, I have also lived in a home with two adult dogs and five puppies, so I’m very comfortable around dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m naturally attentive to animals and tend to gravitate toward every pet in the room! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m especially interested in walks and drop-in visits. I already love getting out and walking, so being able to spend that time with a dog makes it even better. Since I’m not able to have a pet of my own right now, I love getting my “pet therapy” by giving other people’s animals plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is for your pet to get more than just the basics—I want them to have a happy visit and feel like they had a little fun while you were gone. Please note my exact weekly availability: Mondays: 12:30 PM–4:00 PM (occasionally until 5:00 PM). Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays: 12:30 PM–7:00 PM.) Fridays: 9am-5pm I’m also available most Saturday mornings and into the early afternoon. I may have an occasional evening obligation, but I’m happy to try and coordinate around your pet’s routine and schedule. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable throughout our time together. I’m also respectful of your home and will communicate with you about how your pet is doing, including any concerns or anything unusual I notice during a visit.

“Katie was AMAZING! There was great communication and she always showed up on time with a smile on her face. Our dog absolutely loved her. He would wait at the window for her when I would tell him that she was coming. I felt very comfortable in having her walk him and had absolutely zero worries. I will definitely be using her again in the future for all my dog walking needs.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, dependable, and pay close attention to the little details that matter, from following feeding schedules and exercise routines to keeping water bowls full and giving plenty of affection. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, energetic dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable and consistent for pet care. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or spending quality time with your pet, I'm happy to work around their routine. I love being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether I'm in your home or taking your dog for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while also respecting the routines they're used to. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I always treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, happy, and loved until you return.

About: I’ve taken care of and had my own pets since I was little. Growing up being the oldest sibling I had to do majority of the work for our pets. I am also in college full time so I enjoy doing this during my spare time instead of getting a job that requires a lot more mental/physical work. I would love to spend time and take care of your pet while you cannot. Currently I work in a nursing facility Monday-Friday evening shift for 8 hours. I am available to go on breaks in between my shift so you’re pet does not go without a bathroom break. I would have a nice talk with the owner of the pet regarding care. Some thing I would want to know is if the pet runs off easily, bites, doesn’t like certain things, when the pet eats, etc. If I was taking care of the pet in the clients home I would of course ask a lot more questions regarding where I take for potty brakes, where pet is allowed to be/lay, etc. I would try and make the client and myself as informed as possible.

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for and training animals of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. Growing up with pets my whole life has given me extensive hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and understanding different animal personalities and behaviors. I have also volunteered at numerous animal shelters, where I gained experience working with animals of varying temperaments and needs. In addition to caring for family pets and my own friendly dog, I am comfortable handling energetic, shy, senior, and high-maintenance animals. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Pet care fits very naturally into my current routine because although I am a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule and a lot of free time throughout the week. My schedule allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Since I already maintain an active lifestyle and care for my own dog, incorporating additional pet care responsibilities is something I genuinely enjoy and can easily prioritize. I am organized, dependable, and able to balance school while still being fully attentive and responsive to each pet’s needs. Creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident leaving their animals in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always ensure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for with patience and attention to their individual needs and routines. With years of experience handling animals of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, I am comfortable adapting to each pet to help them feel safe and stress-free. I also maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment while providing plenty of affection, exercise, and consistent care so both pets and owners can feel completely at ease.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young child. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs and cats. I grew up learning how to take care of them anytime my parents were out of town. I have experience taking care of dogs of all types, from young to old, and from big to small. I’m an elementary school music teacher, meaning I have more time in the summer! I’m a teacher, meaning I have the summers off! I’m available to care for your pets while you’re on a summer vacation or if you just need someone to take your dog for a walk while you’re at work. During the summer, I have a very open availability schedule. I have three pets in my home, 2 cats and 1 dog. I am a very astute pet parent, always making sure the areas around the house are clean and safe for them. I take my dog, Percy, on walks often. I am very comfortable taking dogs on walks, crating them if they need to be, and playing with them so they don’t get bored at home.

Dillon has been excellent. He takes my two-year-old Airdale terrier on walks 2x a week and I am seeing great improvement in my pups energy level, and response to vocal command. He’s also very respectful of my house, I work from home, and both my dogs greet him when he comes in and it’s within enthusiasm to see him and no barking. I can tell Dillon has a great way with my pups, and really listens to their needs as well as giving them direction to be good walkers. We’re working up to having him walk both my dogs because they both enjoy time with him so much. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Grandview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Grandview is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,386 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Grandview. 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 Grandview. 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 Grandview 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 Grandview. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
