About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.
“Martina is great! Our German Shepherd loves his walks with her and she is working great at getting our golden to warm up and go for walks, which might not ever happen but always appreciate the effort and initiative!!”
About: Hi there! I’m a third year vet student looking to help out local pet parents this summer. Because of my veterinary medical background, I am highly comfortable with everything from energetic pups and senior animals to administering medications and recognizing subtle behavioral needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and passionate about keeping your pets happy, healthy, and safe while you're apart. As a veterinary student, my summer schedule is highly flexible. I am available for dog walks, drop in visits, and overnight pet sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide expert care in your home. My veterinary training allows me to monitor health, manage strict dietary routines, safely administer medications, and understand both canine and feline body language to keep your pets safe and stress-free.
“Hanna was awesome! We had her watch our puppy three different times when we were in town for graduation weekend and she was amazing! It was so nice to leave knowing that Nugget was in good hands. I highly recommend Hanna!!!”
About: Hi! I have 6 years of experience as a dog owner of my Beagle, Bo. At home, I have an orange cat named Cheese as well. I am an active user of Rover for my Beagle when I am gone for work, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Me and my family have always been pet lovers, having different dog breeds and other pets growing up. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long, active walk or just some company and care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs and have experience walking multiple dogs at a time. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m available Sunday through Tuesday and have reliable transportation to get to you on time. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially at the beginning and end of my days. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and can provide flexible scheduling for drop-in visits and walks during those days. I’m used to planning my day around caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and playtime with my own dog and cat. I make sure to stay organized and on time so each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. During walks, I make sure dogs are always securely leashed and safe at all times, while also giving them the exercise and attention they need. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are comfortable, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, or calm companionship depending on their personality. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is left exactly as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.

About: Hi there, my name is Allie! Animals have always brought me joy and I love working with them. I worked at a local vet clinic for two years where I interacted with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I am certified level 1 in Fear Free handling of dogs and cats. I have former experience working at two local dog daycares. With my vet clinic experience, I also have a senior dog who takes different types of medication daily, and I am comfortable administering meds to your pet. I have pet sat multiple ages of animals in the past, from puppies needing additional breaks and training, to seniors who need a slower pace and medication. I am working part-time currently so I have open availability for your pet! I have all school district breaks off, so I will be open more during those times as well. In my experience with animals, I understand the importance of safety and comfort for your pets. I am a level 1 certified Fear Free pet handler, and I utilize those skills to ensure your pets safety and trust. It is my goal to treat your pet like my own, and give them the love, attention, and support they need.
“Jennifer walked my dog Malory twice a week for several months. She took great pictures and I always knew Malory was safe and being properly taken care of. Jennifer is wonderful and I highly recommend her services!”
“Donna is EXCELLENT with my dogs Charlie and Buddy. They're Maltese-Shih Tzu mixes, 7 and 3 years old, and they absolutely love her and they walks she takes them on. I've watched her with my boys and based on what I've seen, would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a walker with a great temperament and strong skills at dog handling.”
About: I've been a technician assistant for 6 years and am a current 2nd year vet student. In clinics I was able to medicate and administer different treatments based on the doctors recommendation. I am a full time vet student so my hours may vary. I see caring for your pets as as an honor and responsibility. If I take a shift I aim to honor it. I'm willing to help out and check in on your pets if needed. I'm able to feed, take outside to use the restroom, and medicate your pets if needed. Please let me know if additional care for your pet is needed so I can see if it is a task I am able to complete.
About: I’m a HUGE animal lover and have experience taking care of all sorts of animals, from dogs, to cats, spiders, bunnies, frogs, and more! I have six cats of my own and foster medically fragile/behaviorally challenged cats from the Humane Society. It brings me so much joy when I see a cat truly start to thrive again. Because of how long I’ve been caring for animals, I’m experienced in providing a wide variety of care. Your puppy is still crate training? I can help! Your senior four-legged friend needs medication? I can do it! Your socially awkward pet doesn’t like people? That’s okay! You have an animal that most people don’t know how to care for? I guarantee you that I do. Working with animals is such a fulfilling part of my life and that’s why I’ve been doing it so long! **Rover takes a huge percentage of earnings for sitters! Therefore, I request that we use Venmo or another payment method instead of Rover! I work an incredibly flexible job, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I work with my clients and around their schedules, making pet care as stress-free as possible! I usually care for pets in my client’s home, as my home is a bit of a zoo. I work hard to ensure we have trust and boundaries established so we both feel comfortable! One of the ways I do that is by doing a meet n greet beforehand. I love to get to know the pet parents and meet the pets before I start sitting.
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or a safe place to stay, I'm committed to providing the same love, attention, and patience I'd give my own pets. I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I'm happy to care for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I'm comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout each visit. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while giving you confidence that they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I am currently in between jobs, so my schedule is completely open to taking care of your fur baby while you are away. You’re dog will get plenty of attention while in my care. I have one playful, loving fur baby of my own to keep yours entertained. Can be crated if you prefer while i’m away from home. Will always have the option to water, food, toys, play time/outside time.
“Amazing help! 10/10! Will book again. Very friendly and great at communicating with me! It’s so nice to find someone you can trust in your home with your pup. Even when I had to be complicated she was very understanding. Thank you so much!!! Will be seeing more of her for months to come.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I got my own best buddy, Kacie (named after both the Kansas City Chiefs and Casey’s Pizza), two years ago. We love to run, hike and take naps! My sister also has a mix that I frequently care for. I’ll take care of your furry friend as I would my own! My full time job is very flexible. I can squeeze in a quick visit or walk with your pet almost any time in the afternoon/evening! I treat each pet as if they were my own. I treat them with kindness, respect and love. I treat every animal the way I’d want someone to treat my own.
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals my entire life. At home, I have two high-energy Golden Retrievers, which has given me experience with pets that have different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. One of my Golden Retrievers has severe storm anxiety, so I’ve learned how to stay patient, recognize signs of stress, and help calm nervous animals in a safe and comforting way. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have been looking after my neighbors’ pets since I was young, gaining experience with feeding, walking, playing with, and providing attentive care for a variety of animals. My lifelong experience with pets has made me responsible, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I work a part time job at a car wash. I work 3-4 5 hour shifts a week either morning or afternoon, and I will always be off before 7! I have always taken pet safety very seriously. When caring for dogs, I never allow them outside without a leash or properly fitted harness unless they are in a secure, fenced-in area. I make it a priority to closely supervise pets whenever they are outdoors to ensure their safety. I am especially cautious with small breeds and always keep a watchful eye on them, particularly at night. I understand the importance of preventing accidents and creating a safe, secure environment where pets can be comfortable and protected.
About: I LOVE animals of all sorts. I've personally had cats for 23 years. I also have a bunny. I have taken care of other people's dogs for the past few years, and have been cat-sitting and house sitting for about 15 years. I am currently working full time but able to make my own hours at work, to make sure that there is adequate time for your furbaby. I provide tons of snuggles, attention, walks for dogs (or cats if they are trained to do so) at your preference. Available for walks, drop-ins and overnights. I am currently unable to care for your pets in MY home because I have 2 cats and a bunny, but I can provide tons of affection, clean their litterbox and/or yard poops daily. If your dog or cat is playful, I am happy to engage with them in that way as well to exert energy.
“Jennie is awesome! We needed someone to come over and let our 2 dogs out mid-day, walk them and play with them a bit. She has gone above and beyond and has exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend her. She’s a star!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Prathersville on Rover is $20.69 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 365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Prathersville. 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 Prathersville. 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 Prathersville.
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 Prathersville. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
