About: With over 20 years of experience as a devoted dog mom, I have a deep love for animals and a natural ability to connect with them! I specialize in caring for small dogs (up to 30lbs) and truly enjoy spending quality time with them whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company. As a college student with flexible afternoon and evening availability, I'm reliable, attentive, and eager to provide your pup with the love, care and attention they deserve! My friends and family have always trusted me to care for their babies! I always make sure that their little ones feel loved, fed and safe while their away. Whether your dog is playful, shy or a senior in need of gentle attention, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs! I'm currently attending college part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I have a secure fenced yard and a sweet 7-year-old Maltese who loves naps, watching TV and keeping other small pups company. If your dog needs their own space, I'm also happy to crate them as needed to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: About this sitter: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I’ve always felt that animals have a special place in my heart—sometimes I even say I love them more than humans! 😂 I’ve cared for pets my entire life, but I’ve also had the privilege of caring for animals professionally for over 15 years. Over that time, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, needs, routines, and little quirks, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one as an individual. For me, caring for animals has never felt like a chore or simply a job—it’s a passion. I genuinely love spending time with them, giving them attention, playing with them, making sure they’re comfortable, and knowing they feel safe and loved while they’re in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to trust someone with your baby. After more than 15 years of professional experience, I bring patience, responsibility, compassion, and plenty of hands-on experience to every pet I care for. My goal is always to give pets a happy, comfortable experience while giving their parents peace of mind knowing their babies are being loved and cared for. I work remotely, and my job offers a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day and evening. This flexibility gives me plenty of opportunities to provide consistent care, attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship for the babes. I’m able to work my schedule around their needs and make sure they receive the love and care they need throughout the day, rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can safely play, explore, and get some exercise, along with plenty of toys and space to relax. I’m also able to keep pets separated when needed, whether for feeding, rest, introductions, or simply to make sure each pet is comfortable. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while they’re in my care.

About: Hey! I was introduced to animals of all kinds at an extremely young age. I’ve taken care of everything from dogs to cats to exotic animals such as reptiles! There is no limit for me, I am open to caring for any and all animals in any way possible. I take a lot of pride in caring for animals and humans alike, it is very fulfilling to me. Tell me what you need and you got it, I will give you peace of mind when it comes to your precious ones! I’m currently free just about 24/7 for animal care as I am working on making my own company and it is a slow process. It is possible to even do same day scheduling with me frequently! I have 1000sqft apartment with two corgis of my own and two chinchillas! Ideally I am looking to go to a client’s home, but it’s possible to take in a pet with me as long as the pet is cooperative enough to respect my own dog’s space when needed.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I love being around animals and truly believe dogs make the best companions because of the unconditional love, emotional support, and endless cuddles they give. My first family dog was a German Shepherd, and growing up, neighbors with larger dogs would often ask me to help walk and care for them while they were away. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and needs. In 2020, I brought home my dream dog, Mochi, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves to play and cuddle. Later, I rescued Gigi, a Dachshund-Pomeranian mix, and eventually added another corgi named Boba to the family. I absolutely love my little dog tribe! When I care for someone else’s pet, I treat them just like I would my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while their family is away. I’m always happy to help however I can and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I currently work part-time because I am a student taking online courses at home. I have a very flexible schedule and can accompany to you and your pups needs! I am available Monday-Sunday. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs around the neighborhood next to our complex and they also burn energy by going to a park.
About: I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets. They depend on me to bathe, brush their hair, check for fleas, feed them, give them treats and take dogs on walks. I’m currently working other flexible jobs, so I have time to care for pets at this time. I have time to visit, have sleep overs at their home, have visits to feed them and walk them. I am able to care for your pets safely and you can trust me because I am very detailed oriented and pay attention to anything that may be dangerous for your pets.
About: I take the time to understand their unique needs, personality, and routines. Whether it's ensuring they get the right amount of exercise, providing mental stimulation, or offering extra cuddles and comfort, I focus on making each dog feel safe, loved, and happy. My commitment to reliability, attention to detail, and regular updates for pet owners also ensures peace of mind while you're away. I am available for dog sitting on weekends. I offer personalized care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I prioritize my dog’s physical and emotional well-being. I ensure they get regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation, along with a balanced diet and routine vet checkups. I also make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their environment.
About: I’ve had dogs for years and love them very much, I enjoy walking and caring for them. I would love to do the same for your pets!! I do currently have a full time job from 7:30 to 4:00 but I am definitely available Friday to Sunday all day or any weekday after 5pm. As a walker I plan on making sure your pet is as safe as possible by avoiding any situations that could cause them harm or stress, and keep them on a leash at all times.

Kyree did amazing for her first walk with both my dogs. More like my dogs did amazing for their first walk with Kyree. My younger dog typically is very picky but he walked very well with her, happily emptied out all his bowels got home and slept like a baby. I would hire her again.

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 Arcola. 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 Arcola after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
