“Helen was absolutely amazing with Chombi! From the moment they met, I could tell Chombi felt comfortable and safe around her. She was attentive, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Helen kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she went above and beyond to make sure Chombi was happy, well cared for, and sticking to her routine. When I got back, Chombi was relaxed and clearly had a great time. I would 100% trust Helen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Helen, for taking such great care of Chombi! 🐾💗”

About: Hi, I’m Kyree, a dedicated dog lover with one year of experience caring for dogs. I’ve dog sat before, including a week-long stay, and I’ve personally raised my own dogs to be well-behaved and smart through daily care, patience, and consistency. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy being outside and staying active. I plan to do this as a part-time job, and dog walking allows me to combine my love for dogs with exercise, fresh air, and positive interaction. When I care for dogs in a client’s home, I treat them like my own. On walks, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, and lots of positive attention while following the owner’s routine.
About: My house (and my life) is full of furry babies - two cats and a dog that I adopted and adore, and I’m usually the favorite aunt to many in my family. I have patience with animals that I sometimes won’t have with people :) they just awaken that sweet side of me. I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters and did private sitting for clients. I am familiar with most breeds and behaviors as well as most common medical emergencies and needs. I have experience in canine behavior, and I can be extremely patient with shy or somewhat aggressive dogs and cats. I don’t stress easily, and I’m very resourceful if needed. I value your trust deeply, and I will care for your babies like I care for mine 💜 I work from home 3 times a week, so I am pretty flexible with my schedule, and I have reliable transportation. I can offer in house services, drop off and pick up your baby from the vet, grooming salon, training session and more. I have a large backyard where your babies can run as they please. I have a large crate if needed, and plenty of space and trails around the neighborhood to take them out for walks.
About: I’m 33. I’ve had animals in the house for as long as I can remember. I’m the kid who took home all the strays. Besides watching neighbors’, family, and my own animals, I don’t have any experience. But I’ve had all sizes of dogs, I’ve had cats, fish, and guinea pigs. I love animals, and spending my day caring for them is what I live for. I have two dogs and two cats. And 3 children (9,10,12) who enjoy animals too. I’m fully available any day , any time to care for your furry family members. I can do daily drop ins, daycare, dog walking, and boarding. I have two friendly, loving dogs. With a huge fenced in back yard. A house with plenty of room to run and play. And a walkable, shaded neighborhood.
About: As a caring part time register nurse I’m trusted to care for patients that same compassion, reliability, and attention keeps your fur babies safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently completing higher education as a nurse and working part-time at an outpatient clinic, which gives me flexible days off. On those days, I love staying active and spending time outdoors walking and caring for your fur babies is a meaningful and enjoyable way for me to unwind while still helping others. I treat every visit with the same reliability, compassion, and attentiveness I bring to patient care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I review feeding schedules, walking times, medication instructions, and any special preferences ahead of time, and I provide calm, gentle care with lots of positive interaction. I’m attentive to behavior changes, hydration, and safety in the home and during walks, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. If I am caring for a senior pet or a puppy, I adjust pacing, activity, and play to meet their needs whether that means slower walks, extra reassurance, or structured potty breaks. My goal is to treat every pet with the same compassion, patience, and attentiveness I use in my nursing practice, so they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.

“Carlie was awesome overall as a dog walker. Communicated well from the start about expectations for her and our border collie Dottie, was flexible on timing and gave great report cards afterwards. Very friendly, good with our dog and reliable. Would definitely recommend!”

“Dameng was awesome!!! The pups enjoyed all of their walks, he even gave them treats afterwards. He was friendly and on time. I would give him a 10/10 and highly recommend him for your pet walks!!!”

About: I’m a 20-year-old college student with three years of dedicated service on Rover and have had plenty of experience with all kinds of animals throughout my life especially dogs, my house was always full of dogs whether they were being temporarily fostered for rescues or adopted. I have two dogs myself, Enzo and Prada which I love more than anything. I provide personalized care tailored to each pets needs. I also prioritize safety well-being, ensuring pets thrive under my watch. Whether it’s leisurely walks, playing around or administering medications, I approach every task with enthusiasm and dedication so your puppy gets the best treatment possible!

As long as your pet is under my supervision, I will do everything to make sure they are in good hands and safely taken care of.

“Erin did a great job walking Pepper! Pepper was excited to walk with her everyday she came. From Day 1, it was obvious that Erin loves puppies, which helped her to quickly bond with Pepper! Pepper is very energetic and so is Erin, so they were both able to walk at different speeds which was good exercise for her. I’m very pleased with Erin and plan to use her again next week!”

About: I have never worked professionally as a dog sitter or walker, but all my life I have grown up taking care of animals, dogs in specific but I don’t discriminate. I love all animals and I’m willing to learn/adapt to each owner’s preferences as well as their pets. What sets me a part is I will care for your animals like they are my own. I currently just graduated high school early so I have a little bit of more unexpected time on my hands before hopefully going to college for nursing in the fall so in the meantime, I wanted to spend my free time doing something I like, which is taking care of animals and giving families the feeling of relief and trust with their pet sitter. I personally have two English bulldogs both over 50 pounds who I take care of every single day from Vet appointments to the basic and extra responsibilities and I love them with my whole heart. At my house we have a fenced backyard that they normally run around in with my supervision, but as well as walking them around my neighborhood.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arcola. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
