“Jordana has been a great walker for my stubborn 11 year old Shihtzu. She has been incredibly patient and has spent time building a relationship with Ellie so that Ellie is now comfortable walking with Jordana. Jordana asks questions to ensure that she is meeting my expectations and caring for Ellie appropriately. Highly recommend!!”

“Lauren was great! We needed a dog walker last minute and she responded really quickly. She was great with communication and photos and Benson seemed to really enjoy her giving him a walk! Will definitely use her again!”

“What an amazing person! She communicates so well and is so sweet. Pupperton loved her! He looked so happy coming back from his walk. I am so glad to have Jacqueline for him!”

About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of animals was a part of my daily routine. I have had pets my whole life, including: cats, dogs, and bunnies! My friends and family have trusted me to take care their pets when they’re away from home. I help my great aunt and uncle with their collie puppies every year too! I am currently a student at Iowa State University entering my senior year! This summer I am looking to help people out and fill up my schedule with your fur babies! I currently live in an apartment, so I won’t be able to house any pets. I will be able to keep your pets company when you’re away or even check on them throughout the day.

About: I have always loved dog sitting for friends and family. Unfortunately my cat does not allow me to get a dog. But I would love to meet all the dogs and go for all the walks! I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule that can be changed very easily. Going on long walks is already part of my daily routine. Unfortunately I do have a cat so I won't be able to board. I can adapt to the clients pets needs very easily and pay close attention to detail. Cleaning up a big mess is sometimes part of the job and I intend to always leave the pets space cleaner than I found it!

“Audrey has been awesome for the several visits she's held so far. Kind with the home, wonderful with our pup, communicative and professional. Super happy to have met her!”


About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.
“Caroline is the absolute sweetest! She came over to do a meet and greet with Toffee before watching her. She asked questions about her medication regimen, health conditions and preferences. It means so much to be able to find someone you trust to watch your fur baby! We will definitely be a repeat client.”
About: I'm an experienced pet care professional with over four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments! I've worked in an animal shelter, a dog boarding and daycare facility, and a dog training facility, giving me experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and pets with unique needs. I'm currently earning my animal training certification, which continues to strengthen my understanding of animal behavior and positive, reward-based handling techniques. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, attentive, and compassionate care while making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved when you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I provide pet care full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention and care they deserve. Whether you need weekday walks, weekend care, or holiday check-ins, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and ensuring your pet receives the time, attention, and companionship they need while you're away! When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible! I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. With over four years of professional experience in animal care, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and every pet as if they were part of my family. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive, compassionate care while you're away.
About: Hello there! My name is Coty and I am here to help provide exercise, care, and happiness to your beloved fury ones! I grew up with at least one, if not two dogs in the home at all times. I currently have two dogs and they mean the world to me! I have a 13 year old Terrier-Chihuahua mix. His name is Oliver, or Ollie for short. He is a rescue dog and is my absolute pride and joy. He’s slowed down quite a bit in the last year and his health has also declined. Fortunately, he still loves going on walks and getting cuddles! With that, I have experience caring for and providing medication to senior dogs. My other fur baby is a four year old Bernadoodle, named Gus. Gus has completed our little family with his playfulness and love for humans. If Gus could talk, he’d tell you that he’s a 70 pound lap dog! He absolutely loves his walks, catching his beloved football, snuggles, and any time outside! Dogs are such a huge part of my life and I truly wouldn’t have it any other way! I am currently working full time but am free during the week after 4:30pm and available any weekend I’m not marked as not available any time. I treat others homes and animals with the same respect that I treat mine with. To a lot of us, our pets are our fur babies. I treat them with care, patience, and compassion.

About: I am an animal lover. I’ve had pets (cats & dogs) all during my childhood. I am a current Cat Mom and a former Dog Mom. Our pets are family members, and it can be worrisome & stressful when we are away from them. It can ease the mind to know they’re well taken care of in your absence, and we can all relate to this! I work a full-time job remote, and my hours start early in the day. This allows me some flexibility to help during lunch and after work hours. I used to have a dog, which I would take her on regular walks around the neighborhood and the park. I currently have 2 cats at home, ages 9 & 16. They are both fairly independent but they still love scratches, cuddles and pets.
“Abigail is the best! My dog loves her! We came from out of town and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease looking after our pup. She was quick to respond, competent, professional and thoughtful. My partner accidentally locked her out and she was patient and went out of her way to wait for him to let her in. We will be rebooking her again and you should too! 10 stars!”

About: I have been taking care of family and neighbors pets since I was about 12. Growing up I already had every kind of critter I was allowed to have. My love for pets continued to grow as I got older. Previously I worked at Adel Vet Clinic for almost three years and I absolutely loved it. I had my son in January and am staying home with him, but still wanting to be able to get out and care for animals throughout the day. I currently am a stay at home mom with my three month old son. I am available during the week as well as weekends. I have a family whose dogs I take care of during the lunch hour and would love to have some more dogs or cats to see during the day. I currently have two cats and a dog which I am able to spend my days with playing and snuggling. I have some dogs I currently care for and get to go play outside with them and get some good belly rubs in. Whether you are wanting a mid day potty break or snuggles and care well at work or out of town, I’m here for it all.

About: Hello! My name is Noah and I am a middle school teacher during the school year and have extra time in the summer doing what I also love, spending time with pets! I have a dog of my own (Tini) who is well trained. I have experience dog sitting/walking in the past with numerous animals and families and I would love to take care of yours! I’m a teacher during the school year and don’t have any official commitments in the summer so my schedule is very flexible! I like to spend my free time working out, playing with my own dog, gaming, and seeing my friends. I have a 6 year old black lab rescue named Tini. Through a lot of hard work, I have helped Tini overcome her past experiences through building trust and spending lots of time together. I will take care of your pet as if it were my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Waukee 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 1,118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Waukee. 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 Waukee. 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 Waukee.
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 Waukee. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
