“Alison has been great with our puppy for walks! She gives him lots of scratches and snuggles while we’re out and we feel better knowing she’s spending time with him!”
“Natalie was amazing with my dog!! I felt so at ease knowing she was there to walk Lily. She brought water on long walks and took plenty of pictures and my dog seemed so happy!”
“Rosie took my dog for a walk for the first time recently. My dog is extremely wary of new people, but Rosie managed to win her favor. She sent me lots of status updates and a video of my dog playing with her VERY happily, which is always a great sign. I'm sure we'll be using Rosie again in the future!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and learned from an early age how to care for them and handle them. I've also been recruited by neighbors to walk their dogs, check in on them, and pet sit. I've had a dog that's been in every stage of life (from ten weeks to 14 years) and love/care for them at all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love all breeds and personalities! I currently work part-time as a server, so weekends tend to busier. I am still willing to do check-ins and walks during the day, but may not have as much availability at night since I usually work dinner shifts, but if I'm available I'd love to spend a non-scheduled day with a dog. I always make sure I have access to the owner by phone, am aware of any medications needed and how to distribute them, and know the reactivity of the dog while on walks (and I have experience with reactive dogs).
“This is who you want! Rachel is fantastic. Great at communicating her arrival time, pet behavior and sending pictures, etc. As one of our first experiences with Rover, she put our minds at ease and comfortable with trusting our dog to a stranger for the first time. Thanks, Rachel!”
“Melissa helped us out on short notice and was amazing! She was on time and cared for Lady like she was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I grew up surrounded by farms and stray cats having babies on my porch that we would often take in. Most of the time my childhood home was full of 2 border collie dogs and 4-6 adopted cats. I have had my own cat for 3 years who I rescued (he has one eye and is the Cutest boy) and all my siblings have dogs and cats that I’m constantly loving like human nieces and nephews. Friends and neighbors have always regarded me as an animal lover and someone who is good with animals. I seem to attract them wherever I go! I am a professor so my schedule is flexible. All week days and weekends work for me. During the weekdays I am most available in the mornings and evenings. I am very respectful of everyone’s homes and their rules. I am good with details and feel comfortable following directions and wishes of any client.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 25 years and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Siberian Huskies and have spent my life around animals, both as a pet owner and caregiver. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs! My experience includes walks, feeding, administering oral medications, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or well-being while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums, including water quality monitoring and tank care, as well as basic indoor plant care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible part-time work schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active through walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking are a rewarding part of my routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs, from feeding schedules and walks to medications and favorite activities. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.
“My dog Loki had a fantastic time going for walks and romps in the fields with Lauren. He's a high energy puppy and I enjoyed seeing his daily updates Lauren provided, that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Definitely will use her services again. Thanks a ton Lauren.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats all my life before moving to the US, and caring for them has always been a passion. From playful puppies to independent cats, I’ve learned how to provide the best care with patience, love, and attention to their needs. Now, I want to bring that same dedication to caring for others’ pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends. I’m always available on weekdays and most weekends. I update my calendar every week. I live in a clean, cozy one-bedroom apartment with my husband. We have no kids and no pets. Our home is quiet, well maintained, and ideal for pets who enjoy a calm environment. Plenty of space for relaxing, supervised care, and comfortable downtime.
About: Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with their pets because of my exceptional communication skills. My superpower in the pet sitting world is providing frequent updates and photos that allow owners to feel completely at ease while they’re away. Alongside my energy and ability to comfort animals, I ensure that both pets and their owners are well cared for and connected during their time apart. Being self-employed in my primary career gives me the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet sitting as a cherished side hustle. This freedom allows me to offer personalized and attentive care on my own schedule, ensuring that your pets receive the best attention and love while you're away. My unique ability to balance both roles means you can trust that your furry friends are in capable and caring hands. When visiting pets at their own home, I focus on maintaining their regular routine and providing comfort in a familiar setting. My services include: -Daily Care Routine: I follow the established schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring pets experience minimal disruption to their daily lives. -Comfort and Security: I make sure pets feel safe and secure by adhering to their usual routines and providing a calming presence while their owners are away. -Frequent Updates: I offer regular updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pets' well-being and activities, giving them peace of mind while they’re away. -Household Care: In addition to pet care, I can handle minor household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the home remains secure.
About: I have 7 years of dog care experience, including caring for an adopted husky and other large breeds.

About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.
About: Looking for a cozy, home-like environment for your dog, whether it’s for the day or an extended stay? Look no further! I’ve been a lifelong pet lover, having cared for both dogs and cats. I’m also a proud volunteer with Home at Last Dog Rescue. My dachshund-beagle mix, Dixie, joined our family in 2020, and my beagle, Emily, was my very first foster fail! Our dogs love camping and exploring the great outdoors with us. Your dog will feel right at home in my fenced yard, a safe and fun space for running and playing. My senior pups will love having the extra company! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! My home is perfect for extended stays! I’ll keep your pet on a consistent schedule to maintain their familiar routine. While I work in the office three days a week, your pet will be safe and comfortable, either relaxing in a crate or spending time with my dogs in a designated area of the house. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who will enjoy keeping your dog company. If you’re comfortable with crate training, your dog can use a crate for quiet time when needed. On the days I work from home, my dogs stay with me in the same room, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks or zooming around the backyard. I also have a cat who tends to keep a low profile around new furry friends. However, if your dog enjoys chasing cats, my home may not be the best fit.
“So grateful for Melissa's kindness and expertise. We arrived home to find our pup Gidget to be happy and content. It's comforting to know that she was well taken care of in our absence.”
About: Within the last few years I dog sat for my aunt and my neighbor, but a year ago I’ve gotten more serious with it as I do it as a side hustle now. I have experience pet sitting dogs cats rats and even rabbits. I am going into my senior year at West Chester but will be commuting from my home in Phoenixville. I will also have a part time job but I can work around everything to watch your animals, especially this summer if I have enough notice I take off of work so the pets have my full attention. I currently am only offering care at the clients home but I will make sure to keep yours clean as I like my environment to feel safe and organized.
“Bri is a great dog walker! Highly recommended. She was very attentive to our dog (cockapoo), provided frequent updates for walks / feeding, and she is very punctual. We really appreciate how sweet she was with our dog. We look forward to booking Bri again.”

Sofia has been so wonderful with my pup. I’ll be a recurring client and I’m fortunate to have found someone reliable, kind, and detail oriented. She sends me a great Rover Report and I can continue my work in peace knowing that my baby boy is in great hands. Thank you again Sofia. We are grateful to have the pleasure to work with you.
Tim has been absolutely amazing with my German Shorthaired Pointer. As a high-energy breed, she requires a lot of exercise and attention, and Tim consistently goes above and beyond to make sure she gets both. He takes her on long walks, keeps her engaged, and genuinely cares for her like she’s his own. She’s always excited to see him and comes home happy, well-exercised, and well cared for. Tim is reliable, trustworthy, and great at communicating, giving me complete peace of mind whenever she’s with him. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog. 10/10 !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Arcola on Rover is $27.75 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 .

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 Arcola. 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 Arcola.
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 Arcola. On Rover:
- 91% 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 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.
