About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy! I have a cat of my own, Archie, and a dog, Stella, who are completely spoiled, and I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, and boundaries rather than treating every visit the same. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐶🐱💕 I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the needs of your pets. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, playtime, feeding, and other care around your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, maintain their normal routines, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and needs and will always communicate with you if anything seems unusual.

About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets, ranging from dogs and cats to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, and farm animals like goats and chickens. My responsibilities have included: Daily Care: Feeding, providing fresh water, and administering medication as needed. Exercise & Enrichment: Walking dogs of various breeds and energy levels, engaging in interactive play, and ensuring mental stimulation for pets. Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste during walks, and keeping pet areas tidy. Special Needs: Caring for shy, senior, or reactive pets, tailoring my approach to meet their unique behavioral or medical needs. Communication: Keeping pet owners updated with regular photos and messages to provide peace of mind. Additionally, I have worked with pets that require extra patience or attention, such as rescue animals adjusting to new environments or pets with separation anxiety. My approach focuses on building trust and ensuring every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I am opening my own healing and end of life care practice, allowing me a somewhat flexible schedule. I usually am not gone more than 4-6 hours a day, and usually only a few days per week. I prefer to take care of pets in their own home and keeping to their usual routines. This gives your pets the most comfortable option while they get to know me.

About: What sets me apart is the way I care for each dog as an individual, not just as a routine task. I grew up with dogs and have hands-on experience raising and caring for two of my own, so I understand their behavior, needs, and how to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies and know how important consistency, patience, and structure are at that stage. While I’m not a professional trainer, I follow owners’ routines closely and reinforce good habits, whether it’s basic commands, potty routines, or leash manners. I also pay close attention to each dog’s personality—whether they are energetic, shy, or need a calm environment—and adjust my care to match. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping owners updated so you always feel confident your dog is in good hands. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to follow your dog’s usual routine closely—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and any specific needs—without long gaps or rushing. Because I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for extended periods and will have consistent care, supervision, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where your dog can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all instructions you provide—feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs—so your pet’s care stays consistent. I’m attentive to behavior and surroundings at all times, whether we’re at home or on a walk, to ensure your dog stays safe. I don’t take unnecessary risks, avoid unsafe situations, and always prioritize your dog’s well-being. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and genuine care, just like my own.

About: Hi, I'm King Dre! Im new to the LA area but I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life!!! I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 16 years both Varsity Highschool as well as Travel ball and in 2019 moved up here to North Carolina for my dads retirement and to be close to his side of the family. I recently worked at PetSmart for about a year and took care of many exotic pets on the daily! Whatever your needs are, pets are a breeze for me and you are more than welcome to message me your requests and we will work something out. Thank you and may God guide your spirit in Jesus name, amen!!! I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time!!! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore with all my soul lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves, I’m all for it!

About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂

The average cost of Dog Walking in Alton on Rover is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per walk. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,574 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alton. 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 Alton. 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 Alton 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.

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
