“Crissy has been great! She takes great care of my dog and they are really getting along. Crissy is very communicative and let's me know how things went when she comes to see Yuzu. I'm very happy to have found Crissy to help me with Yuzu.”
About: Whether you’re traveling for work or just need a helping hand, I provide trustworthy and loving dog sitting in a safe environment. With reliable communication, updates, and plenty of care, your pup will feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I work part-time from home, and my husband also works from home. We have 3 kids who are in school, and love animals as much as we do - so your pets are guaranteed lots of snuggles! We have a fenced-in yard with one indoor/outdoor cat, Molly. We offer lots of yard play time, and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. Molly is used to other animals being around, but can easily enjoy some time in our finished basement, should they have any issues getting along.
“Stephanie is always wonderful with my puppy and she took both of my dogs out today and she is wonderful!! Highly recommend her to anyone seeking care for their dogs.”
“Zana is an incredible pet sitter/walker who we’ve used multiple times. Our dog loves when she comes over and she sends many updates and pictures. We look forward to using her in the future.”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs for years. I rescued one cat to later find out she had seizures. She got proper treatment, love and attention, and lived to be fifteen. I am retired and available days, evenings, weekends, and most holidays to meet your pets needs and your schedule to keep on your pets routine. I have a medium size backyard with shade trees and room to play. During bad weather I use the basement for play time and activities.
“Maria really helped me out with my two dogs on very short notice. She was responsive and kind. Maria provided several pictures during the walks with realtime updates. I'd definitely trust her again with my dogs!”
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.
“Elise is fantastic! She is so reliable and respectful. Her communication when taking care of my pup is always so reassuring! 10/10 would recommend her for any of your pets!”
“Denise was so fantastic with my dog! She is very friendly, trustworthy and great with animals. I appreciate that she came for a meet and greet before the walk and was very thorough in getting information about my dog, home and care instructions. He had a great time on their walk and I will definitely be booking Denise again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and personalities—2 hamsters, 2 fish tanks full of aquatic friends, 2 cats, 3 dogs, and even a few adorable bunnies! 🐾 I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them comfy and happy while you’re away 💕 As a student on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can keep a close eye on pets, ensure they stay safe and comfortable, and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have two friendly dogs and a cat. During our meet-and-greet, we can see how our dogs interact to ensure everyone is comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space, or if you would rather keep them separate, I’m happy to accommodate that throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and make sure they feel at home while you’re away. 🩷
“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 grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible 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!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Dog walking was my first "job". I now have a pet of my own that is my world that i trained myself. Dog sitting/ taking care of animals is the best job out theree. I am currently returned from the peace corps and in between jobs. Taking care of your pets is a first step back into the work force. I will keep your fur baby calm, comfortable, and loved. I am a guest in their space and will not over bare. Doing what they love most is how I will build that relationship.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 6. I grew up around a lot of strays that were neglected and abused and it always felt necessary that I give them the love and treatment that any living thing deserves. I’ve continued this in my adult life, having raised pets of my own as well as cared for other’s pets. I have some skills in training puppies from my own research, and I’m very diligent with the health, cleanliness, enrichment and love for ever animal within my care I have an open availability at the moment, so I am free from early mornings to late nights, whichever meets your needs. I am open for repeated scheduled sits or last minute sits. I follow the advice of each pet parent regarding their home or backyard space. I dedicate time to playing and enrichment, correct feeding portions and times, and cleaning up after them as needed.
“I’m so grateful to Elliot for helping me out in a pinch! He went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was well taken care of. At first, my dog was hesitant and wouldn’t let him get too close, but Elliot was patient and persistent, working to gain his trust without pushing too hard. Before long, my puppy warmed up to him and they had a great time together. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Elliot put in the extra effort to make sure he felt comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated dog walker!”

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!
Denise is very caring, kind, patient, and loving towards Dusty and Malala. As Malala can be a handful and her attention span is all over the place, Denise just knew what to do to keep her track in the most kind and loving way. We’re so lucky to have had Denise as our walker. We will be using her more often. She also gave a detailed report card, and lots of pictures which is helpful to see how their walks went. Thank you for all your help, Denise! ❤️❤️❤️
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 5,121 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.

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.
