About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and love them more than people so let me put all my dog-loving energy into spoiling yours! I work in education so am off during summer break (all of June through mid-July) and available to meet your dogs needs whether it’s a puppy working on training or a senior who needs to take it slow :) I work full time in education so have long break availability (winter and summer break). During the school year, I am mostly only available on weekends but can be flexible with some evenings during the week. Just let me know what you need! I will be respectful of your space when in your home. I can come in and out or sit and stay awhile to keep your pup company.
About: Hi! I'm Brooklyn, and I've been around dogs my entire life. I've cared for my own Bulldog and Pitbull/Mastiff mix, giving me experience with both strong, energetic dogs and more relaxed companions. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some exercise, or just a little extra love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in great hands! I'm available for dog walking on weekends and enjoy spending my free time outdoors. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or some fresh air and attention while you're busy, I'd love to help. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and flexible so both you and your dog have a great experience. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks, I'll always keep your dog securely leashed, follow any instructions you provide, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I'm experienced with larger breeds and understand the importance of staying alert, using proper leash handling, and ensuring every walk is both safe and enjoyable. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.
“Whitney is AMAZING with my puppy. He’s 2 months old and a lot of work but she’s sooo good and patient with him. She’s very reliable and punctual. I love getting his pictures and a summary throughout the day while they are on their walks. She’s such an animal lover. My puppy and my kitty just love her. I trust her and recommend her 100%.”
“Sarah has been a staple in our house for almost a year now! She’s so great with Milo and he loves his walks with her. She is so responsive to every message and always sends cute pictures at the end of every visit :). Couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve loved animals of all kinds since I was a kid! For the last 8 years I have worked as a veterinary assistant working hands on with pets of all kinds including anxious pets, special needs pets, and geriatric pets. I’m comfortable giving medications or following specific directions for pets that need just a little more attention. I of course love pets of all ages whether that’s playing with young pets or giving older pets more accommodations. I’m currently working part-time at an animal clinic, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I go for walks twice daily already and your pet would make a perfect addition! I live in an apartment with my 13 year old cat, Juliet. Juliet is a very sweet cat but will typically hide when other pets are boarded in the home. My apartment is located in the Volker neighborhood with parks and plenty of walking trails nearby. For in home boarding, pets are welcome on my furniture including the bed. I am happy to follow any and all requests for boarding / caretaking inside your home, including giving medications either orally or injectables.
About: Hi! My name is Briah, I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I obtained an animal science degree with an emphasis on companion animal care. I also have 5 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant in local clinics, as I’ve recently transitioned careers I miss seeing furry friends on a daily basis. Unfortunately I don’t have pets of my own at this time, but I would love to help care for yours! I currently work from home 3 days a week, and spend most of my time at home on the weekends. I am able to provide walks and ear scratches throughout the day. I do not have any pets of my own in my home, I live in an apartment with a park conveniently located right out front for walks.
About: I strive to care for all animals with the utmost respect and kindness! I am very patient and will always interact with your pets as if they were my own. I have 4+ years of experience caring for my own cats, cat sitting for friends, and volunteering through KC Pet Project. I currently work a regular 8-5 M-F. I'm available most evenings and weekends to care for your pets. I am also usually free and in town during holidays. I am happy to accommodate your busy schedule! I take a calm and gentle approach and will respect and accommodate any needs of the pets I care for. I understand that all animals are unique and am excited to cater my services to your pet's personality.
“Kat was amazing. My girl is scared being normally a country dog moving to the city. Kat was patient and kind with her. Ms Lagertha just adores her. Kat is a wealth of knowledge and provided me with some tips and tricks to help. I would recommend her a 1000%.”
About: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa, raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, horses and the occasional raccoon! I have experience from bottlefeeding newborn baby animals up to senior pets. My schedule varies weekly. I am a professional photographer that works on site and from home. My “home work” location is flexible as long as I have Wi-Fi! I can be fairly flexible with times as well as staying with your pet. For pets in my home, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and there’s a river trail nearby for longer walks along with a pet area at my complex. I have previously stayed at and checked daily friends, family, and clients homes while they’re out of town/at work to care for their pets as well as farm animals. I have a wide array of experience working with different animals from regular in-home pets to many farm animals with feeding, walking, and giving medication if needed.

Wow! Derek is great. My boys, an exuberant Cardigan Welsh Corgi and a reserved Aussie foster, both enjoyed their walks with him. I can recommend Derek without reservation. He is very professional and easy to work with. Most importantly, he has a great way with dogs. You can trust Derek with your cherished companion.
Kushi was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate me and my dog last minute this weekend due to a medical procedure, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was incredibly attentive to all the details, right on time, and super responsive with communication from start to finish. She really showed up for us when we needed her most, and that kind of reliability and care means everything. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Kushi enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kansas City on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,563 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kansas 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 Kansas 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 Kansas City.

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 Kansas City. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 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.
