Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
Lianna was truly amazing with our mini dachshund!! She kept us updated throughout each and every visit, sent pics and everything each time which I truly appreciated. Our dog absolutely loved her and so did we. We were very sad that she had to leave us for college but wish her all the best. 100/10 thank you Lianna for your patience and kindness with our boy🩷
Rasleen was AMAZING with our Shambho! We couldn’t be happier with Rasleen! We found her to be very reliable, caring, attentive, and truly wonderful with our dog. It was very clear to us that she genuinely loves animals. our pup fell in love with her as well I will highly recommend using her services!!!. She’s the BEST!!!
Easy to work with, helpful, on time, and responsive. We were going through an adjustment period with a newborn and my pup got a little down and anxious. Walks with Emily helped my pup be happier and get some exercise while was busy with the baby. I am very happy with the service and so is my pup!
Sabrila did an incredible job with our dog! We had to book her last minute, after our pug got sick and couldn’t be boarded, as planned. We were nervous to leave him when he wasn’t feeling well, but Sabrila took exceptional care of him - giving him his meds and reporting back on his symptoms each visit. In addition, she was prompt, followed all of our requested guidelines regarding care for our dog, communicated quickly and effectively, and cared for him like he was her own. She also sent lots of pictures each visit, which was so helpful in reassuring us that he was doing well. We will definitely book her again!
Amy was absolutely phenomenal with our two large dogs. One is a senior, and we were so reluctant to leave “just in case.” It’s never easy leaving fur babies behind, but Amy sent so many photo and message updates! She got to know our dogs really well, and it was clear to me that she truly loves what she does. She worked on training our young dog, and spent so much time and energy making sure they were well-cared for the entire time we were gone!
Excellent experience with Chirasvi. She was prompt, communicative, and clearly attentive to my dog’s needs. I appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me confidence everything was being handled well. My dog was happy and relaxed when I got back. I’ll definitely be adding her to my regular rotation.
Shelby has been a great dog walker for our two dogs. She walked our dogs while we were traveling and took them for long walks, gave them each specific medications, and alerted us when there was weather that could stress the dogs. She went above and beyond multiple times including to give them Benadryl before storms to help ease anxiety based on our instructions. She’s always responsive and communicative. We appreciate her taking such good care of our dogs!
Mera was wonderful with Jake. From the very first moment he loved her and was excited every time she came for his walks. She was always punctual, very kind, and clearly great with dogs. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Jake was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.
Ivy was the absolute BEST dog walker for my young puppy for 3 consecutive weeks. My puppy loves her and felt safe with her. Ivy is very communicative and will take the cutest pictures of your pups while she’s with them. We can’t wait to rebook with her when she is back home from university. Thank you Ivy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Arcola on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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.

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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
