“My dog is all muscle, and very excitable, so not everyone is comfortable walking her. Josie was a natural! It gives me great peace of mind to know my furbaby is in good hands, and I love getting her updates and photos. Highly recommend Josie !”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life ranging from puppies to tortoises. I know the hard work that goes into caring for animals and keeping them happy and healthy. My family and friends have relied on me to take their furry friends on walks or to just let them out for bathroom breaks. You deserve to be at ease when you’re at work or vacation. Don’t stress! With me as your pet sitter, you won’t have to lift a paw-I mean finger! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I am always available Saturday but my schedule varies week to week. I’m usually pretty free so just let me know when you need a sitter and I can work around my other job. I can take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood. I always bring water for them to drink and waste bags. I can easily crate your dogs if requested or leave out pee pads. I can play with your animals to keep them entertained and make sure they stay out of trouble.
About: I have been dog-sitting for friends and acquaintances for the past couple of years. I am very accommodating and flexible. Whatever you need or request, I will do my best to fulfill it. My daily schedule gives me the flexibility to help you out anyway and anytime. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I work a very flexible day-to-day job that allows me to venture out and take care of your pet at most times of the day. I am also pretty flexible on days of the week and times of year to sit. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I do my best to make space for pets to choose whether they want attention or to be left alone, and try not to force contact. I also look to socialize the pet as much as I can fit in my strategy whether that is being present, going on walks, or letting them outdoors.
“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: I love all kinds of animals! I have owned and cared for a wide range and animal's. My goal is to make animals have a great life. I am a full time student at Mizzou but my schedule allows for plenty of time through the day. I have many gaps between classes so I can check on anything in the middle of the day. I have lots of experience with many ages and levels of trainings of animals I have watched for friends. I am always up for a challenge and I am confident in taking care of your animals.
About: I have dog sat for the past 6 years in the Omaha Metro area and in Lincoln NE for several families. I managed the care of 3 large breed dogs for multiple days during several housesitting stays. I also have 2 dogs on my family farm, a Border Collie and a Mini Aussie, that we have had for over 6 years. I would love to help take care of your pets while you are on vacation or out of town! We recently located to Columbia MO and are looking for more dog sitting opportunities! I am a full time student in PA school. I usually attend class from 8-2 daily but then I am free from there-on to do tasks as need be which would give me the freedom to go and dog sit! I treat all pets with respect. I know that I wouldn’t want my dogs treated poorly by a new person watching them. I usually take the dogs for a walk or two and then fetch or whatever the usual regimen consists of. I also ensure that dietary restrictions are followed as written.
About: I have many years of personal care with animals. Although I have not professionally cared for pets, animals are my world and I would love to give each animal the care and love they deserve! You have my trust, responsibility, and punctuality guaranteed. I am currently completing nurse practitioner school full time in Columbia, MO & I am currently not working. I would love to spend my free time taking care of others’ fur babies! I have two dogs and two cats of my own in our home. Each of these animals are easily separable to your own pet if needed!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! I grew up with a mini dachshund and cared for him as he got older and became a senior pup. I’ve also cared for other senior dogs, and I have a special love for them, they deserve all the extra snuggles and attention. I also got a puppy when I was younger, so I know how to keep up with all that energy! With experience from puppyhood to senior care, I’m comfortable walking dogs, giving them plenty of love, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I recently moved to the area and I am looking for something to do. My schedule is pretty open and would love to fill it with pet care. When caring for a client's pet I always make sure to follow any rules the client has given me. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and snuggles while also keeping up with their feeding schedule, potty breaks, and walks.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have so much love for them. Whether it’s a playful day outside running around with my dogs playing fetch or a rainy, gloomy day where I was feeling down my dogs were always my best friend. Their comfort is unlike anything else and I truly feel they know when something is wrong with people and having that companionship is so helpful. We as humans may have multiple pets throughout our lives, but our pets only have us for their short time with us. It’s our responsibility to provide them with all of the love and care in the world. Their lives revolve around us and what we do, they deserve to live their best lives while they’re here with us. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work full time dog sitting and couldn’t ask for anything better! The best coworkers anyone could ask for! Multiple drop ins a day and many, many walks throughout the day! I treat every pet as if it were my own! Each fur baby gets individual attention as well as time to play with the others pups. I can keep them separated if/as needed. Each individual pet will be taken care of according to the owners preferences!
About: I have been a Farm Caretaker for over 5 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, goats & chickens, and limited experience caring for horses. I am comfortable administering various medicines and trimming goat hooves. I have a 9yr old Aussy Shepherd Service Animal, who is my best friend and who I also trained myself. I take pride in understanding animal speak. They tell us what they need if we listen! Each morning, our pup Foster dashes out the back door 1st thing for morning sniffs, our kitty Pepper lingers behind. They quickly trade places so Pepper can sip her morning dewy water in peace, while Fosty woofs down his expected breakfast inside. And by this time, we hear a rattle at our bunny Rupert’s pen, as he tells us it’s obviously time for his favorite morning pellets! Another morning in the life:) Daily, I play fetch with my dog son in our spacious back yard. We also take walks in the neighborhood & the park nearby. Kitty gets outdoor time at her request each day. Bunny enjoys free-roaming the house each day. All of our animals co-exist in peace, & even playfulness:) I respect & adhere to systems you may have in place to keep peace & balance:)
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether it’s training puppies, caring for senior dogs, or just giving plenty of attention and exercise, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I also volunteered at the Central Missouri Humane Society while attending college in Columbia, where I worked with dogs of all temperaments and gained experience handling a wide variety of personalities. With me, your dog will be treated like family, and you can count on reliable, attentive care every time. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate specific time slots each day for feeding, walking, playtime, and any additional care tasks based on each pet's needs. This routine ensures consistency and allows me to provide the best possible care while balancing other responsibilities. Additionally, I schedule regular check-ins and updates with pet owners to keep them informed about their furry friend's well-being. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets under my care. This includes designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playtime, as well as access to outdoor spaces for exercise and bathroom breaks. I adhere to any specific feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, or medication routines outlined by the pet owner. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routines. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, ensuring that their pet's daily schedule, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any medical needs, are faithfully observed. I also strive to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the owner's space while providing attentive care to their beloved companion.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Shaw is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Shaw. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Shaw after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Shaw. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
