“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”
About: Love all animals! Big and small! Love to go on walks and let them have fun and play! I like to take pictures of them as well, and keep you updated along the way! I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule and can manage my time and make sure I am going to be available when I say I am and be there to attend to the pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. I understand that every pet is different and I am willing to accommodate each and every need they may have.
“Matthew showed up as scheduled to walk Oakley to give him a potty break and some excercise. After their walk he fed Oakley his lunch. It is so nice to know Oakley was care for while we are work. We will use him again.”
About: I am a licensed veterinary technician so I am professionally trained to know how to take care of your animals especially if there is an emergency! I currently work full time at Lincoln Memorial University. I can only do weekends because of my schedule, but I can also see what I can do to help during the week! I do not have a fenced in yard. My dogs have been trained to stay in the yard. I have 3 dogs, they are younger and very playful. I also have 3 cats. Even though I do not have a fence, I can offer walks in the yard or walking up and down the road and put them on the leash while they use the bathroom. I have a whole room dedicated for the animals where they can stay unless they are kept uncaged then they can have free roam of the house.
About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were a bit nervous, but it worked out wonderfully! Megan took such great care of Theo, took him for a walk, and even stopped by the dog park so he could play. We loved that she sent pictures along the way—it made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy. She even offered to come meet him the day before to get familiar with his routine and our location, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re staying at Anchor Down RV Park, she would be the perfect sitter to trust with your baby! We hope to use her next year!”
“Vanessa is great! She listened to our instructions for our dog, and provided updates and took lots of photos on the walk. We would love to have her walk our dog again.”

About: I have two dogs, one is three and one is six months. I adore them and spoil them daily. My oldest has very high energy so I am used to getting the energy out! They love going swimming at the lake as well! Though we do not have a fenced in yard, they go for daily walks and have fun enrichment activities inside. I am currently in college, but I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to walk your dogs! I am also available to board your dog anytime! I am home pretty much all day everyday except for my hour class I have to attend Monday and Wednesday. I have a pretty set routine with my dogs, as I wake up early (6am) to let them both out, and again around 9. I am very attentive with my dogs, as I would be with yours! I make sure they are comfortable and have a nice place to lay and have food and water at their access. If they need to go out, I’m on it! I imagine how my dogs would feel if my dogs were going to a new place, and want to make them feel as loved and comfortable as possible, as new environments can be scary.
About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.
About: I’ve taken care of my fiancés parents dogs for 5 years! I love them to death! They have nine dogs that range in ages from puppy to senior. I have done everything from administering medication to the basics. When they go on vacation I am who they trust to watch their animals. I can care for all animals even farm animals and I would love to care for yours!! I do currently work a full time job and my schedule is very scattered. However I work early hours and am usually off by 1:30pm. But I would love to watch them after work/ on my days off. I do not mind fitting your animals into my schedule. I love animals and do not care to take time out of my day to care for your fur babies!! I currently cannot care for animals in my own home, I am very sorry.

About: I have several years of professional experience working hands on with dogs in boarding, daycare, enrichment, and training environments. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, from young puppies learning appropriate manners to senior dogs who need a slower, more individualized approach. My experience includes dog training, enrichment activities, group play supervision, leash handling, feeding and medication routines, recognizing canine body language, and working with dogs who may be nervous, overstimulated, reactive, or simply need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable adapting care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to enjoy or respond to the same things. Most importantly, I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I currently have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and your pet’s comfort are always my priority. My professional experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language, stress signals, behavior changes, and each dog’s individual boundaries. I follow your pet’s established routine and care instructions closely and never force interactions they’re uncomfortable with. Whether your dog is outgoing, nervous, high energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable.
About: I will provide playtime, exercise, and companionship to your pet in a safe environment. Relax and feel confident that your baby is being treated like family in my home. I offer round the clock care. Someone is always home to rub a belly or take a walk. Hit me up and let's get started. I have a fenced in front and backyard. 24 hours a day comfort care and security. Rest easy knowing your baby is well cared for.
“Sydney did a great job of taking care of my pup, Mickey, while we were on vacation in Sevierville, May 8 -13, 2026. Sydney was good with Mickey and very reliable. She regularly drove Mickey to Patriot Park for walks. She even took care of Mickey on Mother's Day, which allowed my family and me to spend the day worry-free at Anakeesta Adventure Park. I hope Sydney's available again next year!”
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends. I can do evening runs, and the weekends are pretty flexible for me to walk. I have the softest spot for any animal! I’ve had birds, rabbits, hamsters, 2 dogs, a cat. I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I knew early on that working with them was where I belonged. Over the years I’ve gained hands‑on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with bathing, feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing general care to keep animals happy, healthy, and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something that’s been a natural part of my life since childhood. ⭐ Special Skills • Medication trained and comfortable administering oral and topical treatments • Experienced with bathing, feeding, and maintaining consistent care routines • Skilled in cleaning, sanitation, and keeping pet areas safe and tidy • Strong leash‑handling experience with dogs of all sizes • Familiar with animal behavior, body language, and stress signals • Comfortable caring for high‑energy, large‑breed, and small‑breed pets • Kennel‑experienced with structured routines and caring for multiple animals at once I’m an online full‑time college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. Because I study remotely, I’m able to build my day around pet care — feeding, walks, drop‑ins, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable. Caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm, and my online schedule makes it easy for me to be consistently available and attentive. While I don’t offer boarding, my home environment is fully set up for cats and reflects the way I care for my own four. My apartment is every cat’s dream with toys, towers, enrichment activities, and plenty of stimulation. This experience helps me understand what keeps cats comfortable, engaged, and stress‑free. Even though pets won’t be staying here, the same level of structure, cleanliness, and attention carries over into the care I provide for your pets in their own home. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow your routines closely to keep everything familiar and comfortable. I handle feeding, litter or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any cleaning needed to keep their space tidy. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior. I also make sure your home stays clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.

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.

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.

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.
