About: Hey friends! 🐾 For over 3 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through Rover, working alongside an experienced, highly rated sitter behind the scenes. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, building the knowledge and confidence needed to provide safe, reliable, and personalized care. I’ve decided to create my own Rover profile to offer my services independently and connect with more families in the Joplin area! I’m an active, dependable, and hardworking individual who enjoys staying busy and spending time outdoors. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone around for companionship, I’m happy to adjust to their individual needs and routines. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, with the possibility of house sitting in the future. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. That’s why I prioritize safety, consistency, communication, and attention to detail. My goal is to make sure your pets are comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I take pride in being someone you can count on, and I look forward to building lasting relationships with both you and your four-legged companions! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my active lifestyle! I only work evenings a couple days a week, leaving most of my days open for walks, drop-ins, and providing thoughtful, personalized care for your pups! I prioritize providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. While I’m not currently offering boarding services, I hope to expand into boarding in the future! In the meantime, my focus is on providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care through dog walking and drop-in visits. I respect each pet’s individual needs, routines, and comfort levels, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to give every pet the attention and care they deserve while providing owners with peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trustworthy hands! 🐾
About: I have always loved dogs and taking care of them for friends and family. I have taken care of a variety of dogs from the size of a Chihuahua to a Labrador. When my grandparents would go on trips, they always trusted me to care for their dogs. I have taken care of puppies and older dogs, some who have needed medicine or special care. I have house sat for my sister while taking care of her lab and husky for a week. My previous roommate recommended me to her friend to take care of her dog and cat several times. A couple times I have housed a friend's dog when he goes on trips. I recently started helping train a friends puppy who is full of energy. Every Saturday for about 4 years, I helped my parent's neighbor take care of the foster dogs she housed. I would help feed them, take them outside, and put them in crates when they were off to be adopted. One time she had a litter of puppies, so I would go and help take care of them or help the mom rest from the puppies. I am currently looking for work, so I am free during most of each week. I attend church Sunday morning and have church group on Friday nights. These activities will not get in the way of me taking care of your pets. My husband and I have a senior dog that is an Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix. My friends and family who have dogs, consider me one of the first people to take care of their dog while they are out of town. I will follow the routine and house rules that you have set for your pets when I take care of them in your house. I am able to take your pets on walks or to the park, if allowed.

Aisha was absolutely perfect! She was great with my dogs, walked them in the time frame that I requested, and carried water for them since they are used to that (thank you so much!!)!!! I would highly recommend her anytime, and if I need a dog walker in the future, and she is available, I will be using her again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Joplin is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Joplin. 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 Joplin. 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 Joplin 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 Joplin. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
