“Kelsi has been the perfect dog walker for my pup! I know my dog enjoys getting outside with Kelsi - on my busy days, she is a lifesaver. Kelsi has always been very communicative and responsive, as well. Highly recommend her if you are looking for genuine care for your pet.”
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: I currently own 3 energetic dogs that adore! I am responsible for all aspects of their care. I have also dog sat for friends and family in the past. I am a graduate student so there are some times that I am not available, but most weekends and early morning and nights I can be available! I usually have breaks between classes that I can be available to check in on or walk your pet. At a client’s home you can count on me to make sure your animal is safe, loved, and cared for. I will do everything in my power to make sure the animal feels comfortable and not too out of routine.
“Taylor was great! She came over the day before to meet the doggies. Even though the times I originally requested were a little difficult for her schedule that day (it was last minute,) she did all she could to make it as close as possible- and ended up being there about the time I had requested anyway. I scheduled two visits in one day, and while I said the second visit only needed to be a feed and let out in the yard - she asked if they could still go for a walk. :) She was also very observant and noticed a small scratch on one of my dogs, sent a photo, and asked if I wanted her to treat it. I really appreciate all the attentiveness; and the above and beyond she provided for my babies. Most importantly, the dogs seemed to really like her too. :) We are already planning for her to return. Thank you!”
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.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since highschool at the age of 14. I’ve am also a veterinary assistant since 2023! I have my own pet that is a very active German Shepherd! I am a college student working at a vet clinic 15+ hours a week in the evenings! I am very flexible during the day time. Most days I don’t work until 3pm! I can easily monitor your pet and make sure it has a blast when in my care! The care I provide for my own pet is something I pride myself on and would love to care for yours!
“Jennifer does amazing with Flash and she oftentimes has her own leash and poop bags. She is also really flexible and oftentimes can take last minute walk requests which is truly helpful!”
About: I have been around pets since I was a kid. I did take care of elder dogs in the past time. I did dog-sitting the puppies. I had experience with foster dogs and my housemate in the past. I have experience with deaf dogs myself. My family and I raised a deaf dog; she is now at peace. I am currently working from home. My schedule has some flexibility that I can take care of other things such as taking care of pets. I always make sure the pets feel safe and secure in their space. I care about their boundaries in their daily routine and develop relationships with their pets.
“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 dogs most of my life. I'm not the best trainer but I try the best I can! I love dogs, they mean the world to me. I'm always love and take in any type of dog when I get the chance. I'll treat it like its my own I'm usually home all day since I work from home. I have a dog of my own who likes to be outside so thats where I spend most of my time I have a big fenced yard and one old little dog who can keep them company! I have a walkable neighborhood with a park near by to play
About: I have taken care of my own pets and others almost my entire life including feeding and watering, giving medicine and shots, helping with birthing, and bathing. I seem to just be able to get along with almost all animals which definitely helps for my desired field. I can go out and play with animals, stay in and relax with them, or do a little of both. I am a student and I am currently taking summer classes, but they are mostly online so I will likely be able to schedule around them. I do also like to workout and do some activities with friends, but I can schedule around that some as well. This fall I will be full time student at MU so I will not be able to do most things, but I may have gaps then that I could fill. I do not currently have pets at my home in Columbia, only in Sedalia. Back in Sedalia, we live more in the country so my dogs have full range of wherever they want to go. They go in and out as they please but we always make sure they have food and water when they are home. They get lots of lovin's when they are home as well. Here in Columbia I will only be able to sit at the owners house and I can follow however they would want me to take care of their animal(s). I love to pet, play with, and cuddle with animals so any kind of care or environment works for me.
About: I am a vet student at Mizzou who is open to becoming your go-to person for pet-sitting needs! I am very flexible and willing to negotiate whatever you need to feel comfortable while you are away. This summer I am working at a research facility in which I am only there a few hours a week. So my schedule is pretty open! I live in a duplex house located Northeast of COMO. I'm more open to in-house visits rather than pet sitting where I live, but I'm flexible.
About: Hi, my name is Becca. I live with four dogs, two Yorkies(Cocoa and Buddy), a Pit mix and a Beagle (Doobie and Maribel)! I love to play in the backyard with them and take them on walks. I think that it’s important to show dogs you care about them, by spending time with them. I enjoy long walks especially with dogs, it’s more fun when you have a furry friend with you! I look forward to getting to know your dog and learning more about their personality. Don’t hesitate to tell me if your dog has special needs or requirements. My schedule is somewhat flexible. I am currently in paramedic school. My classes are mostly in the mornings, but my schedule is pretty flexible during the afternoons on week days. I have a fenced-in yard, and all dogs have plenty of toys to play with! I often run around in the backyard with them to help get some of their energy out!
About: When I was younger we raised Pit Bulls and I was very involved with the raising, training and caring for them. As an adult I have had several small breeds thru the years and loved every one of them. I also had a cat for 18 wonderful years and several horses thru the years. They are all like my kids! I work from home most of the time (I'd say about 80% of the time). Occasionally find myself needing to work onsite in Columbia or the surrounding areas. I would not schedule an overnight during those times just so I can be sure to give 100% of my time to our guest. I live out in the country but we do not have a fenced yard that would contain a dog. My littles go out on a tether most times however we do walk the country road on leash and we frequent the dog park in Fulton. I would be sure and hand walk your baby throughout the day. My two littles are the center of my universe. I have a long haired Doxie and a Pomeranian mix, both males both fixed and utd on all their vaccinations. I believe that dogs are to be spoiled and loved on as much as possible. My guys go where I go, they sit on furniture, sleep in my bed and run the house. When I am not home they are secured in one room of the house with tile floor just in case of accidents. I have a lot of love and time to give to any guest we may have in our home.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I've been an animal lover since I was born. I am ver patient and do good with animals. I am available on weekends and weekdays when I'm not working. Just text me and I'll let you know if I am available. I can walk even when it is a bit dark. I always make to check on them every once in awhile to make sure they are good. I make sure to give lots of cuddles. For dogs, I make sure to occasionally see if they need to go outside. Water is always available.
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 have recently graduated with my Bachelors of Health Science degree and I’m currently in a professional program at my Mizzou to graduate with my OTA degree! 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 and other animals my entire life, and I recently worked at a small animal ICU. Due to this, I am fairly comfortable working with all sorts of dogs and temperaments, and could recognize any problems that may arise with the pet! I am currently taking classes part-time at a vet school, so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups! I will vary how I take care of the pet based on the animal! I love wrestling, playing with, and running around with the young pups, but I also love a calm snuggle sessions for the less energetic babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Youngers on Rover is $8.33 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Youngers. 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 Youngers.

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 Youngers. 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.
