About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had experience with animals since I was growing up. I had a dog, a rabbit, and birds, and I currently have a cat that I love and care for. My aunt and uncle also have a small farm with lots of roosters, so I often help them take care of the animals, raise them, and spend time playing with them. Caring for animals is more than just a responsibility to me; it is something I genuinely enjoy and have a passion for. I’m always willing to make time in my day to give animals the love, attention, and care they need. I always make an animal’s safety and well-being my top priority. I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.

About: I've grown up around animals all shapes,sizes and personalities and have grown to love them all. I don't mind the more "in your face" fur babies (literally and figuratively) and have plenty of energy to keep up with them or address any of their needs. I work a pretty standard 8am-3pm schedule and free on weekends to provide pet care. I also live an active lifestyle and frequent the local parks for runs, so I do not mind a furry companion tagging along. I understand every pet is different and their personality may vary from person to person. So, I am open to visiting beforehand to make sure you and your fur baby are comfortable and that trust is established.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for a puppy, so I understand the patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs require. I know that every dog has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions carefully. During walks and drop-in visits, I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving loving and responsible care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to walks and drop-in visits. I am available during weekdays and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or early evening visits. I can also offer some weekend availability when scheduled in advance. Having pets of my own has already made feeding, walking, playtime, and attentive care an important part of my everyday life. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives dependable, unrushed, and personalized attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, routines, and any special needs. Before every walk, I make sure the leash, collar, or harness is properly secured, and I remain alert to traffic, weather conditions, other animals, and anything that could make the pet uncomfortable. During drop-in visits, I respect the client’s home and privacy. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, and I never leave a pet outside unattended. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment while giving each pet personalized attention. I will also send photos and detailed updates so pet parents know their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I was born into an animal loving home with dogs filling my childhood! My earliest experience with dogs outside of my home was volunteering from 8-13 for my sisters rescue. I was trusted very young to walk, and take care of the rescues dogs as I was taught from an early age. I volunteered for other animal rescues until I turned 18 and could finally work in the pet industry professionally, I worked as a dog bather for 3 salons, I worked as a doggy daycare attendant at 2 different doggy daycares, and have had a few other miscellaneous jobs in the pet industry along with walking dogs for people I know and now have decided to bring my experience+ to Rover! Thank you for giving me a chance! I currently work part-time and am pretty flexible about times and what I can do! I am very open when it comes to communication, just let me know what you're looking for and I will do my absolute best to provide your dog with the best time of their life. I do not offer in home care as my home is a rental and I cannot allow pets on the property. But your dogs safety and care is my number one priority anytime they are with me

“We made last minute plans to be out of town all day on a Saturday and Jade was awesome to let us book at such short notice. She met us for a key drop off and our pupper was a happy guy when we got home. She is great with communication and she very clearly loves dogs and knows how to care for them. We recommend her and are booking her for some overnights soon. Thanks Jade!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 8,790 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 your 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 , 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 , 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 .

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
