I work long hours at a stressful job, so having a reliable, caring walker for my fur kiddo is invaluable to me. Elizabeth has exactly what we needed. She is prompt and communicative, and she takes good care of my pup. I highly recommend adding her to your pack!

My dog liked Chloe immediately and I wasn’t afraid to leave him. She arrived promptly for his walks and spent the entire time with him each time, posting pictures of each visit. He was a happy dog when I got home, not at all needy. I will call Chloe again!

About: Hi there! My name is Liane, and I’ve spent most of my life and career caring for animals with love and expertise. I worked as a veterinary technician at a non-profit low-cost clinic for 7 years, where I cared for sick pets, assisted veterinarians during treatments and surgeries, and administered medications. Before that, I had the unique experience of working at a zoo after earning my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I’m experienced in handling pets with special requirements and ensuring their health, comfort, and happiness in both professional and casual settings. With me, your pets will receive attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. I particularly enjoy caring for pets that are exotic or require a little extra attention. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual, and active. Your pet’s happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to giving them exceptional care and companionship. If my schedule works for you, I’d be delighted to meet you and your pets to see if we’re the perfect match. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—I’d love to chat! I work full-time Monday through Friday but am available during evenings and weekends to care for your pets. The amount of time I can dedicate will depend on the distance, so proximity will play a key role in my availability. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in the environment they know best. My goal is to minimize any added stress while you’re away by maintaining their regular routine and keeping them in familiar surroundings. Sticking to their daily schedule as much as possible is a simple yet effective way we can ensure they feel safe, loved, and secure in your absence.

About: I have experience with large and giant breeds including Belgian Malinois, Husky, Labrador and Great Pyrenees. As I'm familiar with the needs of a big, high-energy dog (ones who are stubborn and get destructive if under-stimulated), I'm able to handle situations like pulling on the leash and giving them a structured environment. I have my own pup, a Great Pyrenees, and you can rest assured I will be treating your dog just as well, if not better, than my own. I work from home, so I'll have all the time to devote to your pet. If I do leave, it's usually for dinner or to run an errand, so I likely won't be gone for more than 3 hours. I have an unfenced backyard (with stakes and a 30ft tether) that is by thick brush, perfect if your pet loves sniffing about. There will be plenty of toys around the home to keep your pet occupied — I've got anything from treat-dispensing and squeaky toys to lick mats and super-chewer tough toys, they can take their pick! My neutered great pyrenees is friendly and will give your pet a warm welcome to our home. He is lazy, has a very low prey drive and likes to sleep but is always down for a good time if initiated by the other pet. If I stay in your home, you can rest assured that I will be a dream guest, as I will ensure that I leave no trace!

Please share any details about your pet’s routine or specific needs in advance so I can provide the best care. I like to do meet-and-greets beforehand to meet both you and your pet, helping them feel comfortable and relaxed when I visit on my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well. I have a fenced yard that’s a decent size. I let my dog out several times a day, sometimes we take car rides. I rarely use a kennel but if your pet is not house trained or can get destructive, I would recommend you bring a crate in the event I have to run to the store or something.

About: I've had pets my entire life, and I love getting to interact with animals of all kinds. I've helped take care of a few family cats and dogs over the years, with the most recent being my mom's dog Athena. I've spent many nights over to watch her while my mom has to be away. I work a full time job at a nursing home, with a slightly strange schedule. I'm off every other weekend and each week switches between me being off on Tuesday or Thursday. It depends on the pet. I've had to deal with a very stubborn dog, and escape artist, and a few other interesting personalities. Each one has to be cared for in slightly different ways. It also depends on the rules set by the owners. I don't want to do something that would go against what an owner has taught their pet unless it was abusive.

About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

I have 2 dogs, black/tan coonhound Waylon, and Black/tan mini dachshund Molly, and my orange tabby cat Garfield. Through my interactions with animals, I have developed patience, responsibility, and strong observation skills, allowing me to recognize changes in behavior and respond appropriately to their needs. I am comfortable handling animals in a safe and compassionate manner and understand the importance of maintaining clean living environments, following care routines, and ensuring animals receive proper attention and enrichment.

I currently have 2 dogs at my house that use an electric fence and they use kennels as well. When I take them out, I use a good leash and make sure to have a tight grip.

Very nice and friendly. She didn't walk Loki for the full 30 minutes but he's a lot to handle so I can't blame her 🤣 And he was pretty worn out and seemed happy upon his return. So no complaints from me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Jefferson City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Jefferson City on Rover is $16.05 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 360 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jefferson City. 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 Jefferson City. 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 Jefferson City.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Jefferson City. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
