About: I have had animals my entire life. I have taken care of cats and dogs and rodents. I have been trusted to house sit for others and take care of many pets at once. I loved doing it every single time! I am working to be a full time artist so my schedule is very flexible. I can accept last minute jobs easily. This is my main source of income currently I have two wonderful cats at home that both get a lot of love in the ways they need. Greg is my cuddle bug who loves to be close and snuggle. Bella is my independent baby who loves pets on her terms and playing with her many toys. I also have a hamster named Rickey who has his own spoils. I can check in on small animals too, even if they’re not on the app specifically.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets comes very naturally to me. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs — many of them rescues and foster dogs — so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also helped raise and train puppies, giving me experience with younger dogs and basic training reinforcement. I’ve also helped care for senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to 17, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care older pets may need. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve house sat and pet sat for families and friends for years, caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m a recent college graduate and have a very flexible schedule this summer, so I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week. I currently work at a Pilates studio on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but outside of those hours I’m available and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them lots of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, extra cuddles, or a calmer environment for senior pets. I also make sure homes are kept clean, secure, and respected at all times. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident while in my care.

Best walker I’ve had yet! Actually took my dog to a nice trail instead of just walking around the neighborhood, and sent plenty of pictures that showed she was clearly elated! I can tell she has a true love for dogs :)

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 taken care of animals since I was a child. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. Friends and family have trusted and relied on me to make sure their pets are loved and taken good care of. I’ve taken care of puppies, cats, and even senior age dogs. I’ve seen it all and have experience with animals who have cancer and can try my hardest to make them comfortable and be able to enjoy their time with me.

I am married and my husband does work remotely from home for those who board or book daycare with me, your furry friend will be with him and I and our pups Scout and Luna. I have a fenced in yard and a lovable puppy ready to make new friends! I can adjust to what your cat or dog may need to be comfortable in a new environment. Whether that be with meet and greets beforehand or just lots of love and space to help them feel comfortable.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Prathersville

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.
