About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. I started showing animals at my county fair when I was 9 years old. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life until I moved to Florida this year to live with and help take care of my grandpa. It would be a blessing to find some new animal friends to love on! I am currently working full time the at a Beach Resort as the Front Office Supervisor. My schedule is 3 PM to 11 PM so my mornings are free. If needed, I am also more than happy to swing by after my shift to walk/check on pets. I am unable to board pets at my house at this time, but I do not take going into other homes lightly. It is an honor that I treat with the utmost respect.

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily. My biggest stressor when traveling is finding adequate care for my boys, so I know what it’s like finding the perfect care solution for your pets. I do in house visits, walks, dog boarding, anything and everything your pet may need. I work a rotation schedule at work, so I’m 2 days on 2 days off, so my schedule is all over the place but also allows me to provide coverage during the week and weekends. I can do home visits, dog walking, dog boarding, oral medication, specialty feedings, dog enrichment, and anything your pet would need to thrive in your absence.

About: So many Doggies sat & spoiled via Rover so far! My dog care began with my precious little long-haired Mini daschund, from 6 weeks old, through his senior years, till he was 15❤️ Being a little guy, he needed frequent walks. Being spoiled and adorable, he needed lots of attention! I learned to train dogs from Caesar Milan, and reading books since I was a kid. I grew up with Boxers in the family. I helped train and care for a pack of French bulldogs for friends. I have frequently been the overnight doggy-sitter for friends & repeat Rover clients. Young & old Labs, young & old Pitties, an energetic Bull Terrior, double dogs, medium-sized mutts, Aussie Shepard. I also got to spend 3 years with a super smart Corgi roommate, often helping take care of him. I'm experienced with lots of doggies with separation anxiety, and special training needed for walks. *Medication giving *Immediate household stain removal cleanup *Communication frequencies & positivity *Cuddles, (or not if dog just needs me nearby) *Frequent walk availability *Baths *Runs - parks - beach *Training *Overnight stays I freelance, so I am available to devote my time to your Fur Baby. I don't have to spend the night if you only need me to hang out while you're working your 9-5, or out enjoying your vacation. I love to spend a day doggie-sitting, cuddling, walking, running, and getting my doggie fix in as well! Playing with dogs is the best part-time gig ever! Your Fur Baby will get lots of cuddles and baby talk between as many frequent walks/runs/outing breaks as they need. Movie watching, couch cuddles are the best :) I will come to you so your pup can stay comfy in their familiar space. I'm respectful of people's property, rules, & I'm a neat freak, so you will return to a clean home!

About: Working Wonders K9 officially began in 2024 but its roots run deep into the heart and the history of Kenna the owner. Throughout her childhood, she trained her pet dogs in obedience and could often be found learning agility and tricks with them side-by-side! As an adult, this passion lead her to train her rescue dog, Luna, as a service dog after developing an autonomic nervous system dysfunction that took away her safety and freedom. Under the guidance of a service dog trainer, she began learning the basics of training a working dog and found a calling. After apprenticing with a training company and spending much of her free time researching dog body language, training methods and training techniques, she opened Working Wonders K9 with the goal of making service dogs accessible to disabled individuals and helping pet parents train and build a strong relationship with their dogs. She offers knowledgeable pet care as well as training and support in obedience and behavior modification. I currently am attending school full time and have my own dog training business where I help clients train their pets in obedience and provide solutions to problem behaviors. During the day I have plenty of time to devote to pet care and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve! I offer knowledgeable and experienced pet care in the clients home. I have a background in veterinary care and dog training and have devoted many hours to understanding dog’s body language in order to care for them better. I provide on leash walking and oversight in homes and backyards to make sure each pet is taken care of and gets the love and attention they need!

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. My goal is to make your time apart easy—for your pet by keeping their routine familiar, and for you by knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ve been caring for animals for 15+ years, starting in high school by helping my mom with her pet-sitting clients and continuing throughout college and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from growing up with Labradors to fostering dogs and cats and working at a local zoo. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and more sensitive pets. Some of my most special relationships have come from caring for pets over the years. I’ve had families return to me time and time again while they travel, giving me the chance to build a genuine bond with their pets. There’s something incredibly rewarding about earning that trust and eventually being greeted like a familiar friend rather than a sitter. I work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship and attention. I naturally adapt to each pet’s routine, whether that means long walks and playtime or simply being a calm, steady presence. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and take pride in leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love to give your pets the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. 🤍 I work from home for a local tech company. I am very flexible with my schedule and am available for walks, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. Weekends and overnights are welcome too! Your pet’s safety and your home’s care are my top priorities. I’m a careful, respectful house guest who takes the responsibility of caring for both seriously. With 16+ years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I’m attentive to their routines, your instructions, and the little details that keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also naturally very tidy and take a lot of pride in caring for someone’s home. I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean, organized, and well cared for throughout my stay. To me, the job isn’t complete until you walk back through your door and feel like you’re coming home to your own space—just as nice, if not nicer, than when you left.

About: With over three decades of pet‑care experience while working in corporate positions, I bring a calm, steady presence to your home. I’ve raised and cared for both dogs and cats — including my Yorkie and British Shorthair — and I understand the unique needs of different ages, personalities, and routines. I’m very observant and proactive, especially with senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I communicate clearly throughout the day, sharing updates so you always feel informed and reassured. Your pets will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Some housekeeping…I hold dates for 4 hours. Please complete the booking and payment through Rover within that time so I can confirm your reservation. If you need more time, just let me know — otherwise the request will expire and the dates will be released. Currently, working part-time. So, I have plenty of time to fit into your routine. I am able to work between mornings and evenings each day of the week. Mid-day depends on the weekday schedule. I would like to drop-in daily vs. stay over or have your pet at my home. Living in an open concept home that is not big enough for many pets. Currently, the cat tolerates the Yorkie dog, so I like to keep the peace at home.

About: I live 5 min from the airport. My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love.

About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.

I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

It was my 1st time using Rover so I didn't really know what I was doing. Jonah was kinda enough to help me and flex with all my time changes. I was looking for someone to help do the longer walk for my Bear since Im getting out of a walking boot. When Bear came back from his walk he was tuckered out which was what I was looking for!! I would absolutely recommend Jonah!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oneco

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oneco is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 4,570 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oneco. 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 Oneco. 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 Oneco 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oneco. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 .

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.
