“Griffin is amazing!! So very glad we found him. He is fantastic with dogs (including our high energy black lab big “puppy”). He is incredibly reliable, great communication, and goes the extra mile. He leaves detailed notes with tons of pictures about our pup’s walks and really cares about our dog and her well being and health. Thank you, Griffin!”
“Chris was absolutely a wonderful dog walker for our two dogs. He always came on time, and the dogs really looked forward to their walks with him. He is a great communicator so he and my husband were able to communicate through Rover and that was very helpful.”
“Michael is literally the best dog walker I've ever had for my little floof. He's almost always available, prompt, respectful of your fur baby and your home and leaves a great report for their walks together!!”
About: Hi! Since a little girl, I have had a passion for animals. I have made it my mission to help all pets in any way possible. I have years of experience with all animals, including dogs, cats, small animals, and reptiles. I have worked in animal welfare, doggy daycare, and vet clinics. As a certified obedience trainer, I have the extensive knowledge of canine and feline behavior and know what makes them comfortable. I am trustworthy and reliable. I have the perfect home to host your furry loved one! I currently stay home full time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup and give them all the attention. I am happy to keep their schedule as similar to what they are used to at home. I have a large fenced in back yard that they can have all to themselves to run and play ball. My kids love throwing balls for whoever will fetch them!
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and proud dog parents to our pup, Gus! We’ve both grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. We’re comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing the care and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and well cared for. We both work full time and have different wfh days during the week, along with flexibility! I work 10 minutes from our home, so going home during lunch is very easy! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and take dogs on daily walks. Crate-trained dogs are preferred, and we’re happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions. Pets are welcome on our furniture and treated like part of the family. Our dog, Gus, is a friendly companion and loves having a playmate! We’ll do whatever we can to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and feeling right at home while you’re away.
“Kylie was so good with my girl who is often afraid of strangers. She took lots of pics and gave a great update. It’s obvious she really loves dogs! Will definitely have her back.”
About: I have raised two french bulldogs from their first month, so I have a familiarity with puppies as well as full grown dogs! 4 years of dog sitting experience, and an unyielding love for all of our furry little friends :) I currently am just here in the city auditioning with no side gig, so I have almost a completely free calendar! I usually hang around in my area of Washington Heights but am able to travel any of the five Burroughs as needed. I care for everybody’s pets as if they were my own babies. I make it a priority to not only follow the instructions of their needs, but also spend quality time with them so they do not feel like their whole world is different while you are gone.
About: Hi, I’m Madison! Animals have always been a big part of my life. My mom owned a grooming salon, so I grew up around dogs and learned early on what it means to care for them. In 2009, I became a professional dog groomer and have spent years working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My grooming background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of meeting each pet where they are. Whether it’s a confident puppy, a senior dog, or a pet who needs a little extra patience, I enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I’m also a cat owner, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Along with walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, I offer my professional grooming experience for services like nail trims. I know how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care, follow your pet’s normal routine, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I look forward to getting to know your pets and providing the kind of dependable care I would want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-ins, and attention throughout the day while keeping pets on their normal routines. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy making time for them. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’m also a cat owner, so I understand the importance of a calm, safe environment and individualized care.
“Stephanie is a huge help. She walks Arthur twice a week and feeds him/ gives him more water while I’m gone. She’s super friendly, knows how to care for a dog who tries to eat everything and even puts my trash bins away on trash day. I would recommend Stephanie 100% to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs for 10 years and regularly help friends and family with their fur babies. I am the first call when friends need their pet cared for. Mostly just love dogs and want them to be my best friend. I currently work part time and from home several days a week. Drop ins are easy and house stays can be planned easily and quickly! I want to make sure your pet never feels like they are left unloved or unsafe. I want to keep their comfort and routine so no one is worried!
“Elena was wonderful - This was the first time we used Rover after a negative experience with a private dog-walking service, so we were a little nervous to try someone new - but Elena was exactly what we needed: punctual, responsive, attentive and caring toward our dog, noting and following all instructions on food, water, walking habits, etc. She gave us every assurance and confidence - Would highly recommend her and would definitely be using her again if we travel out of town again!”
About: I offer small-group, in-home boarding, designed for pet parents who want something more personal than a traditional boarding facility. I intentionally keep the number of guest dogs small and manageable. While I do welcome pets from multiple families, I don't believe in packing a large number of dogs into one space. My goal is for every dog to receive individual attention, supervision, affection, and care rather than simply being one of many. Our home is spacious and set up to give dogs room to relax. We have two living rooms, a large unused basement area, and a fully privacy-fenced yard. Someone is almost always home, so your dog isn't spending the majority of the day alone. I have two senior dogs of my own, and I'm very intentional about maintaining a calm, safe environment for everyone's comfort. Because this is our family home, I do have a few house rules. Dogs are not allowed on our beds and I use baby gates or separation when necessary for safety, feeding, introductions, or simply giving a dog some downtime. My nightly rate is intentionally priced below many local boarding and daycare facilities, while still providing the advantages of a home environment: a smaller group, more individualized attention, a spacious home, a private fenced yard, and someone nearby most of the time. If you're looking for a place where your dog can be cared for as an individual—not just another dog in a large boarding group—I'd love to welcome them into our home. ❤️🐶
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, and they're like family. I live in an apartment right now, but when I have a home with more space and a yard, I am absolutely adopting a dog(s). I have a lifetime of experience with pets and am comfortable around different sizes and breeds. I’m willing to accommodate any special needs your furry friend might need (just please message me in advance). If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I look forward to hearing from you! I have two kids and do part time freelance work. I make my own schedule and work remotely so I am able to do both without having to worry about being double booked. Inviting someone into your home to take care of your pet is an important responsibility and I take it very seriously. Any guidelines or boundaries you may have in your home or with your pet will be adhered to. Your furry friend will be in good hands!
About: I have had dogs since I could barely walk. I think they are such amazing animals who deserve all the love in the world. To me, animals are like people, and I will treat your pets like they're my own kids. :) I pay attention to detail and I will make sure your pet is always happy and healthy in my care. I have experience with very small dogs, very large dogs, and everything in between(I have 2 of my own)! If your dog is in my care, you will have absolutely nothing to ever worry about. We will be busy having the time of our lives! Of course, we will frequently update you about our adventures together. I can't wait to meet your fur baby. I’m currently working part time, and so I have a ton of time to spend with your pups! I am an early riser and spend as much time with my pups(and yours) every day. I have an easily accessible apartment with a dog wash and a small dog park, and I’m only 5 minutes away from Leawoof Dog Park. I can’t wait to show your pup!
“I can’t say enough about how great Piper has been with our dogs and cat. She walked our dogs four times a day for seven days. I have one dog that has high anxiety around strangers, she worked with her the whole time and was able to become best friends with her. If you need someone to help with any of your pets, Piper is your best choice. Thanks Piper!”
About: I've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.

Kris made sure not only my dog was comfortable the entire time, but he also eased my anxiety with pictures and updates!! My dog is a strong stubborn lab, but Kris was the perfect fit. Highly recommend him to anyone who also has anxiety about their puppy like me.
Elena was wonderful - This was the first time we used Rover after a negative experience with a private dog-walking service, so we were a little nervous to try someone new - but Elena was exactly what we needed: punctual, responsive, attentive and caring toward our dog, noting and following all instructions on food, water, walking habits, etc. She gave us every assurance and confidence - Would highly recommend her and would definitely be using her again if we travel out of town again!
Jennifer is thoughtful, dedicated, and takes great care of our dog. She’s particularly good at communicating with us about questions and happenings during her visits. Our dog is triggered by other dogs and she does an awesome job managing him, calming him, and loving him. He loves when she visits!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lenexa is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 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 2,617 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lenexa. 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 Lenexa. 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 Lenexa 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 Lenexa. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
