“Catherine did not hesitate to walk my dog when I needed someone last minute! She was caring and listened to my requests when it came to my pup! Will definitely be rebooking her for the future!”
About: I’ve always have pets in my life since I was young. I’ve cared for cats, dogs of all sizes, fish, birds, mice, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and small snakes. This includes cats and dogs with special medical needs. My family, friends and coworkers often turn to me to care for their animals when they leave town, I’m always delighted to help. I promise to love your pets as much as you do! I work a PT with a rotating schedule alternating AM and PM availability. I’m more than happy to accommodate to meet any specific time constraints! I have a small fenced in yard and access to large grassy areas for exercise if boarding at home. I’m very respectful of personal property and will follow any specific directions left to care for you home as well as your pets.
“In the short time that Elise helped me with my dog she was very responsible and truly helpful. She was always very communicative and very positive. I will definitely look for her again. Very reliable!”
About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 14. In the pass 8 years I have acquired paid experience. I have and still volunteer at local animal shelters when time permits. Most of my experience has been with fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I also have experience in medication administration. I currently work part-time so my schedule is flexible especially for drop in visits. My weekends are limited but weekdays are open with more flexibility. I like to follow owners instructions on caring for their pet in their environment. I will never place your pet in a dangerous situation. I will make sure all safety gates are in place and keep harmful materials away from your pet.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my house since before I could walk and have been actively caring for them for nearly as long. I have two cats of my own now, 5 and 4, (my dog, almost 20, recently passed) that are my pride and joy. Caring for animals has been a staple of my life; I can’t wait to meet your babies and give them the best care too! I have a bit of a variable schedule between part time work as a barista, but for sitting stays I would never be away for more than 8 hours in any given day. I take college classes online but that can be done anywhere that I can access the internet, meaning I can be with your fur baby for more quality time! I have two cats of my own that I feed a mixed diet of wet and dry food twice a day, so I know attention to detail is a priority when caring for your fur baby! With that said, I can have my roommate feed my boys while I’m on overnight jobs, meaning I have more time to provide top quality care for your fur baby.
About: Growing up with both dogs and cats gave me a lifelong love for animals. Caring for them has always come naturally to me. I'm kind, patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect I'd give my own. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a college student who works part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. During the summer, I have open availability, and throughout the school year I carefully plan my time to make sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. I keep my Rover calendar updated and will always communicate clearly so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care in the comfort of your pet's own home, where they will always be supervised and treated like family. I carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I keep fresh water available at all times, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!

I am happy to accommodate your pets schedule to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I understand how stressful it can be having someone care for your pets. At my home, you can have piece of mind that we have a fenced in yard. If caring at your home, I can offer drop in visits, or stay there. Daily check ins will be provided.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parkville
Michelle has been super communicative and prompt when responding to requests. She's kind and patient with Artie abd has been more than flexible with her time. Artie has a very small circle of people that he trusts, so generally it takes a long time for him to warm up to new friends. Michelle was able to put the leash on him and walk him immediately, which is no small feat. Michelle will be house sitting for us soon, and it makes me feel relieved to know Artie will be in good hands.
We loved having Michelle sit for Penny! The whole experience was completely seamless. Michelle followed Penny's normal walking routine perfectly, so Penny barely noticed we were gone. She is super responsive and wonderful with updates. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Sophie was wonderful with my pup!! She was kind, patient, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. What I appreciated most was her flexibility. She was willing to meet with me and my dog on short notice, which meant a lot!! She was friendly, reliable, and her communication was top tier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. I am rebooking her right now :)
Anyone who can take my dogs when it comes to walks is special. Not to mention he came even though it started to snow to the point where it's a really wet snow. I'm very grateful because they seemed extra down and bored today. I definitely will think of him in the future.
Carrie was great! Prompt in replying and caring for our dogs, especially without having had a meet and greet beforehand. Carrie was through and handled our detailed instructions with care! We felt safe and happy having her care for our 6-month old puppy and our older dog and we’d happily book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Parkville on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,920 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Parkville. 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 Parkville. 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 Parkville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Parkville. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
