About: I have done on and off sitting since childhood, predominantly medium and big dogs as well as cats, however all are welcome! I can administer medicine with food, and take special time playing or cuddling your sweet baby! I have a very open schedule! Any requirements I have outside of taking care of your best friend I am able to do virtually and at any time of day, so it won't prevent me from the care they deserve. I can keep a close eye on your pet(s), and I'll make sure to play with them so they don't feel restless. I try to show up with as much love and care I am physically capable of. I've always been drawn to animals, (even more than humans sometimes lol) so believe me when I say that my top priority is making sure your pet(s) are happy and healthy with me!

About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.

About: I have cared for dogs personally for the majority of my life. I also gained professional experience working at a doggie daycare where I got to play and cuddle with a variety of dogs! At the doggie daycare, I learned some helpful methods on how to handle and evaluate a dog’s temperament for a group setting. I’m currently working part-time and am available on the weekends from 12 pm till 11 pm! Due to having classes during the week, my best time to work is the weekends. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and live just down the hill from a dog park. My roommate also has a dog to keep yours company!

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have a deep love for pets and wild animals, alike. I have ample experience caring for a wide range of dog sizes, and I have experience fostering cats for Young Williams. I am patient and loving with even the timid pets. I am a graduate student, so I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of pets during normal working hours for most people. I also have a car so I can drive different places, and I love being outdoors so I don’t mind spending a lot of time outside with your pet. I am very vigilant with my own pet as well as other people’s pets. I always make sure that they don’t eat any plants or objects that could potentially harm them. I also always make sure they stay hydrated and pay attention to their body language.

I will make sure your pets feel safe and trust me, even when I'm new to them. I will make sure to follow any guidelines you've set for me so I can make sure that, even when you're not at home, they won't feel forgotten or lonely.

About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty and get exercise. I love cuddling and making sure they feel special!

About: Do your furry pals need to be walked/let out daily? Need AM to PM pet care during your vacation? 🦮🐕‍🦺🐾 I have worked for years as a professional pet sitter with a licensed agency as well as through Rover, and I have two senior doggos of my own. 💜 One of my dogs has severe arthritis and needs help to walk and encouragement to eat, so I am familiar with senior needs. I can help senior dogs walk and exercise, as well as administer oral/nasal/ear medications. I keep a pet first aid kit in my car at all times, just in case! ⛑️ I am comfortable around all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels 🐕‍🦺🐈🐩🐕🦮🐈‍⬛ This is my full time job and I love it! I can accommodate one off vacation bookings or daily visits/walks 🦮🐈‍⬛ Small to large, I love to care for furry friends 💗 I always want animals in my care to feel relaxed and safe, so I like to know all their words(go potty, outside, etc.) and their little quirks(loves to give kisses, hates tail being touched, favorite places to sleep, etc.) I need to meet an animal with their owner before I take care of them alone. I will only walk dogs on a leash, no off leash walking. I never wear headphones or use my phone excessively while taking care of your pet. I always use pet waste bags on walks and dispose of it in the proper receptacle at the end. I want your home to look exactly as you left it, with healthy, happy fur kiddos waiting for you when you return! Please let me know locations of cleaning supplies and trash cans so I can take care of any accidents that might happen.

About: I have had pets for my entire life. I have experience giving oral medications as I have had geriatric dogs. Your pets deserve to have as much of their normal routine as possible while their parents are out of town. I am available for full day care on Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, and weekends as a supplement to my full time job. I no longer have pets of my own and would love the opportunity to love your pets as if they were mine! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. They deserve to be comfortable in their homes, maintaining their normal routines. I would love to help!

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.

My walker has been fantastic with Olive. She’s reliable, communicates well, sends great updates and photos, and I really appreciate knowing Olive gets a good walk, some attention, and a midday break while I’m at work. Olive clearly enjoys her time with her, which is probably the best review I can give. Also, the detailed poop reporting has become unexpectedly important to me. 😂 Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful experience working with Alicia. She was reliable, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. My pup came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised after every walk. I also appreciated her communication and care—she treated my dog like her own. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Karns is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $22 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 of October 2026, there are 1,103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Karns. 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 Karns. 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 Karns 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 .

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
