“Michael has been a wonderful addition to our girl’s daily routine. She is so excited to see him in the morning, and comes back from her walks so relaxed and calm. I cannot thank Michael enough for his care.”

“Natalie did a great job with our boy, Chubbs. She kept us updated with any changes to his behavior or health. Great person to work with :) I would highly recommend and if I ever need a walker and she is available I will book with her.”

“James was walking my dogs for almost 3 weeks. He was remarkably punctual . I have two large dogs and James was able to handle them both at once. He was great with my dogs and they loved him, they are still watching the door waiting for him to come and get them for a walk. I would certainly recommend James to anyone who is looking for a responsible and punctual dog walker. I will definitely use his services in future.”

About: Hi, I'm Sophie! I grew up surrounded by animals and have been pet sitting for over 12 years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I regularly walk dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dependable, loving care so your pet will be in good hands. I work 3 days a week so I have lots of time to keep your pets happy! My schedule varies weekly and can be flexible. I follow your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection
About: My heart has always been devoted to dogs ever since I was little. We’ve always had a family dog(s) and I was blessed with my very own little furbaby April 2017. I have a 7 yo golden retriever who is a ball of energy! I am very active; love running and have volunteered at multiple animal shelters. I’m familiar with insulin injections and pill administration. I do work from home now and have a fairly flexible schedule. I recently bought a house.. for my dog ...and he loves his big backyard. It's fenced in and gives him plenty of room to run around and play fetch. Feel free to ask me any questions :) I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule during the day. My personal gets let out whenever he wants and am open to mornings, evenings and weekends Safety is first. I always check that dogs are not prone to jumping fences, are okay on walks or ask if there’s anything I should know (dart after squirrels or cars, pull, etc). When they stay over they are let out frequently and I’m usually home aside from running errands or going to dinner/ movies. Always fresh water.
About: Animals have been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember, literally since I was two! My love for them runs so deep that I even have dogs tattooed on me. 🐾 I’m a proud cat mom to Mishka, my adopted kitty, and I’ve been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family for years. I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs; from enriching walks and playtime to calm companionship, cuddles, and attentive in-home care. I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease while you’re away. That’s why I focus on dependable communication, consistency, and the little details that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Whether you’re traveling for a weekend or need ongoing support, you can count on your pet to receive the same love, attention, and high level of care I give my own. ❤️ I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for plenty of walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily work pet care into my routine and provide attentive, loving care without leaving your fur baby alone for long stretches! Your home and fur babies are in caring, trustworthy hands with me! ❤️ With my background in government security clearance, financial management, and veterinary clinic experience, I understand how important trust, responsibility, and attention to detail are. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, keeping them happy and comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away.
About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.
“Aaron was wonderful helping out with Mav. He came over before the first walk and met Mav in a nice, relaxed way. He spent time letting Mav get to know him and I felt very comfortable with him walking Mav. He came over when he said he would and gave Mav some good exercise on his walk. Very trustworthy guy and great with dogs!”

About: I currently have 2 cats, grew up with a dog, and have experience with fostering cats and kittens. I'm currently in medical school so I don't have time for a regular job but I am definitely in need of some kind of income to help me out during this stressful period. All my attention will be on your furry children. I am currently studying for an exam so I spend most of my day doing that. I also exercise daily at the gym. All cats will be in my bedroom. It's a large space which also has my two cats. They are up to date on all their vaccines and have no known health issues. Feel free to ask and I will show you the documentation :) I take them to the vet every year and they are friendly with other cats.

“Chandler was wonderful. Alton loved her right away, and he’s usually a good judge of character. Not only was she fantastic with Alton, she was easy to work with and sent so many great pictures! Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Kenzie, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! Animals have been a huge part of my life and work for years. I have five years of experience in veterinary medicine as a technician, where I’ve had the privilege of caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities… everything from dogs and cats to monkeys and mice! My veterinary background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I also have hands-on experience with puppy and adult dog obedience training, as well as canine scent work. I’m currently canine CPR certified and continuing my education through professional dog training certifications. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra attention during a drop-in, or someone to keep them company while you’re away. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one special. I’m insured through Pet Sitters Associates and always welcome a meet-and-greet before starting services. It’s a great opportunity for us to get acquainted, discuss your pet’s needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I know trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. I’m a pet owner myself, and I would never take that responsibility lightly. Your pets deserve patience, kindness, and the same thoughtful care I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! 🐾 My goal is to make this a full time job, as I am soon to be transitioning out of my current 9-5. My time is free, flexible, and available for your needs. While I cannot offer pets into my own home, I spend SO much time exploring the world with my current dog. We go on long walks, hikes to new places, swimming extravaganzas, and more. Whether its a short 30 minute walk, or a 45 minute, fully-enriching adventure, your pet will have the time of their life alongside mine.

About: I have had pets in my life for 69 years. My kids grew up with 4 Labs over the last 50+ years. Daily 1-hour walks with my Labs; I really looked forward to every day, year-round, in all weather conditions. I will be working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the in-house pet setting. I am not set up to board at this time. I am retired and have had pets my whole life. I do not have any pets myself right now in my life; I miss and love all 4 leged fur babies. I will take care of and love your pets like they are my own. I will come to your home and take very good care of it and your pet. Your pets will not have to leave your home while you are away, keeping them safe and happy. Plenty of love, walks, potty breaks, and keeping them safe and happy,
About: I have shared my home with various dog breeds and personalities since birth. I will love your dog as much as you do! I look forward to providing your dog with the same care they receive from you. Whether that's giving them long walks or playing with them around the house, I will maintain your dog's strictest routines. My flexible schedule allows me to visit your home multiple times a day to give your best friend the attention they deserve. My extroverted personality, attention to detail. and positive attitude will grant you peace of mind, and your dog a new best friend! Please do not hesitate to ask for my previous dog owners for their references. They were very satisfied! Now that I am working from home several days, my availability is more open. With my flexible work schedule, I am available to walk or check in on your pets. I am also available in the evenings when you need a break. I am happy to continue your routines when dog sitting to keep your pet comfortable. We can easily discuss what that looks like for you.
About: Growing up, I had 2 family dogs so I’ve been around dogs most of my life. In addition, I have pet sat multiple times for neighbors, friends and family with cats so I do feel comfortable with them too. Past experience includes home stays for families on vacation, drop in visits, etc. I have experience giving medications, walking, feeding, changing litter boxes, picking up waste, and staying overnight with pets. I’m more than willing to stay overnight @ your home, too. Please contact me with any questions that you have! I hope that I will be considered to care for your furry special loved one just like I cared for my own and others I’ve cared for in the past. During my time with your furry loved ones, I will make my schedule around what your pets need such as being walked, let out, fed, etc. In my client's home, I hope I can earn the trust while I am there to take care of their pets without having the owner feel worried. I will send pics of daily activities, feed them, let them out, take walks (if weather permits). In addition, I will leave the home cleaner than it was when I arrived.

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!”

“Alyssa was the first person I contacted when I came to Kansas City. She was immediately available and arranged to meet my dog Two Bit, who loved her. She took great care of him and kept me notified of what was happening. I have already arranged a second session and will continue to use her services.”

Could not recommend Courtney & Sara enough! They did so great with our new dog who has a tendency to be a little anxious and nervous around new people. I really appreciate their willingness to meet our dog before accepting the responsibility of walking him, and their communication during each visit. Thank you guys!

Kylee has been so great with our Great Dane, Hank! Hank is a very anxious dog, but Kylee has been able to gain his trust more than any other walker we have had before. She is responsive and thorough, and super reliable. Recently we went out of town and we were so grateful to have somebody we could trust walking our boy. Highly recommended!!

Aaron was wonderful helping out with Mav. He came over before the first walk and met Mav in a nice, relaxed way. He spent time letting Mav get to know him and I felt very comfortable with him walking Mav. He came over when he said he would and gave Mav some good exercise on his walk. Very trustworthy guy and great with dogs!

Jennifer does such a great job of taking care of my pitbull! I work long shifts and she’s able to take him for a walk and potty break when i can’t be home. I’m very grateful for the love and kindness she’s shown my pup, highly recommend her if you need help with your pooch ! I have a 90lb dog who pulls and she’s able to handle him with great care , couldn’t be happier with her services!

Emily was the absolute SWEETEST and BEST help with our girls while we’ve been out of town. She was so so understanding and good with them, our two loved her from the beginning and it was so comforting knowing she loved our dogs like her own. Could not appreciate her more!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Mission is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $27 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 2,599 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mission. 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 Mission. 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 Mission 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 Mission. 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.
