About: I am experienced sitter with both dogs, cats and other animals of all ages! I am happy to talk through special requests and how I can accommodate you and your pets needs! I work at State full time Monday - Friday. I am able to be there full time on the weekends and can come home during lunch time for potty breaks. I would keep your home clean and leave exactly the way I entered it. I will make sure that food/objects are not within reach for curious pets.

About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pet sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home all my life. I’ve taken care of them and cherished them. I love playing with them and taking them for walks. I love all dogs of all sizes. Im a proud mom of three dogs; two labradoodles and one schnauzer! I am currently in school, but my schedule is mostly open! If your pet can be at home alone for a few hours then we will be a perfect match!! I’m very comfortable with whatever you prefer for your pet. Leaving at somewhat detailed instructions would be ideal. If you own cats I will scoop the litter box if needed. I will always contact you if I don’t understand something so you can rest assured that everything is being done correctly.

Sydni was amazing!!! She took care of my girl so well. I was so glad to know that she was in good hands with Sydni! Sydni is awesome with communication, and even small things as noticing May’s food bowl was empty! My girl has been tired and happy from her walks with Sydni! Thank you so much!

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, I am also experienced with farm animals (including large animals) and some exotics (specifically birds and rodents). I am currently working at an animal hospital and am applying for vet school soon. I am also a member of the American Kennel Club and have experience with animal behavior. I would love to take care of your pet! I work full time at a clinic so my availability is before and after work. Weekends I am often available so just check my rover calendar and send me a message! I am willing to accommodate to your animals needs. If they need to be leash walked at your home, or need someone to watch them in the yard I can do that. I am also experienced with many medications and know how to administer them. Your pets needs are my top priority.

Morgan is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dog walker! Our pup took to her immediately when Morgan came for a little meet and greet. The next day Morgan came to care for our dog while we were gone. She was punctual, polite in her messaging to us, and sent us pictures of our dog getting plenty of belly rubs. She really set our minds at ease leaving our dog in good hands for the day. Thank you, Morgan!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. They are an absolute joy. Friends have trusted me to look after their pets many times, and their pets absolutely adore me just as much as I adore them. I believe in giving pets ample love and attention, as well as activities so they get exercise and they're not bored. I do not work my full-time job on weekends, which gives me the opportunity to give my undivided attention to your fur baby. Although I work during the week, I will take breaks to check in on your pets and allow them to take potty breaks. I am happy to have dogs in my home, or keep them company at your your home. I will keep them active by going on walks and visiting the dog park, if that is something you think they would enjoy. I do not have children or other pets, so your pet will be 100% safe.

About: Hello I have worked at a veterinarian clinic in my home town for 3+ years now and I am looking for some jobs here in Starkville while I am away and would love to help take care of any animals. As a full time student I think pet care will be easy to fit into my schedule daily or weekly any time that is needed. You can trust in my care of your pets as I worked at an all animal clinic so I have experience with many different animals and things to do in emergency situations.

About: With my experience working at a Doggy Daycare for the past two and a half years, I have taken care of wide variety of breeds ranging from puppies to senior dogs, and I would love to care for your pup too! I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty open and flexible, especially during weekdays and particularly in the afternoons! I will be available every other weekend. As a guest entering my client's home, I will respect the privacy of their home and the boundaries of the dog. I will complete tasks as preferred or directed by the owner.

About: •Worked at a dog kennel for 5 years •Two years of veterinary school before pursuing another career •Years of animal handling and care experience •Comfortable with all breeds and temperaments •Price negotiable based on number of animals, temperament and amount of care needed •We can discuss hours of care upon request. During the week I have a full-time job from 8a-5p. I have an hour lunch that I could walk pets during. On the weekends, I try to be with your pets as much as possible. I may need to run random errands. Your pet won’t be unattended for longer than you are comfortable with. We can discuss what your specific needs/wants are prior to pet care. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I know each person cares for their pets in different ways and I try to accommodate any requests made •I live with my fiancé, who is a big animal lover. I will be taking care of your pets, but for full transparency like to let you know there’s another person in the home. I also have a cat, she minds her own business. I can always keep her separate from your pets if they are not good with cats. When sitting, I try to not schedule any other events so I can be with your pet as much as possible. During the week I work 8a-5p with an hour lunch. On the weekends I normally leave it open for pet sitting and will not go anywhere besides a random errand if needed. I accommodate almost all requests no matter how unique. Special diet, nightly routines, or any activities you do with your pets I try to follow

About: Hello! I have been a volunteer with the Humane Society since 2018 and have experience doing all sorts of things! I have overseen meet and greets with new owners, fed/watered dogs on a schedule, cleaned yards, walked dogs, watched over playtime in the yards with multiple dogs, dealt with puppies, trained puppies, handled senior dogs, and handled cats as well. I went through orientation and training in order to be in this position at the shelter, so I have a good understanding of animal behavior and treatment. I also have two dogs of my own back at home and have been around dogs my whole life. (I’m okay with snakes too, I’ve had one of my own). I have been a pet sitter for family friends as well and have been told that they love the way I care for their babies! I am an avid animal lover and plan to become a veterinary surgeon. I am currently at Mississippi State University in the pre-vet concentration of my animal and dairy sciences major! I am home from college for the summer, so my schedule is super open! I work part-time and shifts are only about 4 hours, so that leaves me plenty of time to give your pets the quality time that they deserve! I will be very dedicated to giving your fur babies the best care possible. My own dog is super active and she gets walked for an hour in the mornings, another shorter walk mid-day (weather permitting), and then another hour long walk in the evenings with plenty of play time in between! I will send daily updates and photos if you are away from home and I am doing drop in visits! I know that when pet parents are away, pets can become lonely and feel left out but I am here to make sure that they have fun and have a happy time! I have such a great passion for helping pets and will treat your babies like they’re my own!

About: Since I can remember I’ve always been surrounded by animals especially dogs. I’ve had about 3 dogs of my own but have cared for well over 20 in my entire life. I remember growing up with my grandparents I would always wake up early to go out into the yard with my grandfather to tend to his 8 maybe even 10 dogs (he has a big heart for animals so maybe it was a lot more). I’d go and greet them all, I enjoyed every bit of it, they’d even have to yell at me to come inside to rest or eat.( I definitely caved) But growing up like that, seeing my grandparents love for animals carried over to me and I one day was able to give all that love to puppies of my own. I now have the privilege to do so with other peoples pup and get paid??! Sounds like heaven to me! I am a full time student with no job so the time and days I have set really fit my schedule. Im always ahead on my work so i’m usually just laying around doing nothing or in the gym here and there so to be able to spend that time outside with a pup would do me some justice! I am always keeping an eye out for my pup ensuring he’s having fun but also safely. Charlie (my puppy) is leash trained but also can walk without one so I definitely have to keep an eye on him to be sure he’s not getting into things he shouldn’t. I can guarantee that I will do the same for your pup as I do my own!

About: I have a half acre fenced in yard, a 20x10 run pen, have fostered senior dogs and puppies for the shelter near us, I have worked with trainers before on how to get tips for our own dogs so I can be better equipped to care of others as well. I can also care for almost any animal at my house while you need a sitter. Small to tall! (Sorry I don’t have the set up for horses) Fish to big and small dogs, all the way to reptiles! I have experience with all of them. Daily, your animal will be watched 24/7. I strive to make sure every animal in my care is cared for like my own. So, your animal will never be left for more than a hour or two (the occasional doctors appointment). They will also be taken care of just like my own in they will get PLENTY of exercise! My dogs and dogs I watch are crated when we are not home. (Of course without collars on!) I spend at the very least 2 hours per day exercising with my dogs in the backyard. High energy dogs need outlets! I have experience from Yorkies to Shepherds to Belgians.

About: I’ve worked in a vet clinic for 4 years where I have learned how to properly take care of animals. I also dog sit for neighbors and friends which include feeding, bathing, administering medicine, walking and spending the night with their animals. I will be able to stop by between, before or after classes. I will also be able to stop by on weekends or on my lunch break. I do work a part time job and I am a full time student but I will fit this into my schedule between classes or after work. I will build up a trust with your pet and treat them like one of my own. I will either leash walk them to go potty or let them out in a fenced in back yard.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Starkville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Starkville on Rover is $16.65 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 83 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Starkville. 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 Starkville. 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 Starkville.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
