About: I have always loved and had animals, both cats and dogs. An English mastiff and golden retrievers so I am good with big doggos too! Currently have 2 cats. I have worked in a vet hospital and did some schooling for vet tech in college. Also have some experience with ferrets, rabbits, hamsters and fish! I have open availability on the weekends and in the mornings or after 11pm on weekdays because I work evenings. I have my own vehicle as well I can walk doggos, feed cats, play with your animals. I have 2 cats who are vaccinated and chipped so I take my responsibility as a pet parent seriously
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats and am an Orange Level volunteer dog walker with KC Pet Project, where I’m trained to work with dogs of different personalities and temperaments. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pets like they’re my own! 🐾 I have a flexible 9–5 schedule with the ability to work remotely, giving me plenty of flexibility for morning, evening, and some daytime visits as well! I always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while keeping you updated with photos along the way!
About: Hi! I’m Rachel! I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have been watching dogs since I was 11. I have two dogs of my own, Wesley and Wally, and dogs truly are my best friends. 🥹🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you completely trust with your pup, so I’ll treat yours just like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including giving medications, following specific routines, and providing extra support when needed. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pup plenty of attention. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play or prefer a cozy day on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶🧡 I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and little pup reports so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and well cared for. I’d love to meet your pup and become their new bestie! 🐾 I work remotely, which means I’m home with my dogs pretty much all day and am always attentive to their needs. Dogs are already a big part of my everyday routine, so caring for another pup fits right in! I love having a dog around to keep me company while I work, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where the pups can safely run around and get some energy out, plus my two friendly dogs, Wesley and Wally, who love having a friend around! I’m also happy to accommodate whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable. If they’re crate trained and prefer their crate, we can absolutely do that. We even have a spare bedroom that can be their own little space if they’d rather have some quiet time away from the other dogs. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home here.
About: I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and other animals. In my adult life I have owned a cat, many dogs and a beta fish. I have worked and cared seniors, along with their animals, the last 6 years. I'm currently looking for a job so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I am single with no children or animals at home so I have a lot of flexibility to come to you. I will follow whatever instructions you give to me to take care of your animals. Also if I am staying in your home, I will respect all of your rules.
About: I have extensive experience in pet care, including specialized skills in training puppies and providing senior pet care. My background in animal behavior and first aid certification ensures pets receive the best care possible. Additionally, my personalized approach and attention to detail set me apart from other sitters. Incorporating pet care into my routine by scheduling daily walks, playtime, and feeding sessions. Morning and evening walks can help get an extra steps in, while playtime can be a fun way to stay active. Consider setting specific times each day to ensure consistency with your dog. Ensuring a safe environment, provide regular feeding, clean water, exercise, and mental stimulation. Follow specific care instructions, maintain hygiene, and build trust through consistent, gentle interactions. Tailor care to the pet's needs and the service offered.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs through the years and find joy in going for walks around the neighborhood and playing and meeting every single dog I see. I work full time, 3 12 hour shifts a week and my other 4 days I love having something to do whether that is going on walks, popping in to make sure dogs have everything they need and having potty breaks. During drop ins or walks I like to follow the owners instructions carefully so that each pet can maintain their normal routines and reduce stress. I make sure each pet has water, any food they need, toys if able, exercise, and attention. With walks I stay very mindful of potential dangers or triggers to avoid any unwanted situations and pay attention to any sins of overheating, exhaustion or discomfort. During drop ins if a pet uses a crate I always make sure it’s locked and checked before leaving as well as leaving the surrounding how I arrived and with locked doors. It’s always fun to send the owner updates and pictures of their pet while away to ensure they are safe and getting the care they need.

I will execute all your needs as desired. My goal is to make you feel assured that you left your best friend with someone who you can trust, appreciate and communicate easily with. Please reach out with ANY and ALL questions - thanks!! I work from home 3 days out of the week, with no time restrictions. So plenty of time to walk or drop in on your besties! I am also available most weekends! I have no problem packing my things and coming to you so your fur babies can feel comfortable.

About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!
About: I have had dogs my whole life and would constantly take them for walks and care for them. I love animals they make me feel happy! I'm currently a college athlete with a part-time job. I am comfortable around any dog and willing to work when I have the openings. I am excited to learn about your dog and what needs to be learned when becoming buddies with your furry friend :) We have a fenced yard, keep eyes on the pets, and make sure they are comfortable and happy with the environments they are in and safe.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from dachshunds to English Mastiffs! I grew up with a dachshund, Great Danes and mastiffs, and have spent years caring for them as well as having foster experience through the humane society. I also have a cat! I'm a remote worker who typically works nights and weekends. The nature of my job allows me to have the flexibility to move around with your dogs during the day, and throughout the shift! I am unable to house your pets at my own home, however, I am more than happy to take care of not only your pets like they’re my own, but also your home. I’m very particular about how I leave the house after my visits, and your pets safety is always a top priority to me.

About: Hi! We’re Jordan and Austin, and we’re getting married this February after recently moving into our first home together in Parkville, Missouri. We’ve both had dogs our entire lives and absolutely love them, but since we’ll be traveling a lot this year before getting one of our own, we’d love the opportunity to care for other people’s pets and get our much-needed dose of puppy love along the way! One of us is almost always home! I work both from home and in the field, and my fiancé works from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. We’re available on weekdays and most weekends, and if our schedule ever changes, we’ll update our calendar accordingly. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the playtime, cuddles, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, a spacious basement for indoor playtime when the weather isn’t ideal, and a beautiful neighborhood with great sidewalks for daily walks. Since we don’t have any pets of our own, your furry family member will receive our full attention, plenty of one-on-one care, and lots of love in a calm, safe, and comfortable home.
“Dependable, knowledgable and kind are the key words I would use to describe Jennifer's service. She has cared for our puppy twice, both times she walked him with her own dog, fed him and played with him. I came home to find a happy content puppy. Thanks Jennifer!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parkville
Maria is amazing! You just know she will be the perfect fit once you meet her. We used her for our 105lb doberman and she was so great with him and took some amazing pictures that we will always treasure. Our dog was on hospice care for an enlarged heart and she was confident with an emergency plan that really set our minds at ease while we had to work. The week she walked our baby we knew he was having amazing walks and being taken care of. She is personable, and we appreciate her great communication. I know we would have used her for a very long time.

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.

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.
