“Sabrila is very kind, reliable and responsible. It was kind of a last minute booking and she took the time to come and meet my doggies before walking them. Will definitely be working with her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Ashley was fantastic! She was available for a last minute walk, and did such a great time with Lincoln - she was patient and helped him get some much needed outside time! Thank you Ashley!”
About: I offer a calm, structured, and attentive home where each dog is cared for with intention and consistency. Working from home full time, I’m able to provide continuous supervision, companionship, and a well balanced routine of play, rest, and enrichment. My home includes two well socialized dogs, creating a stable and positive environment. I’m experienced in oral medication, puppy care, potty training, and reinforcing essential commands such as sit, stay, recall, and leash manners. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established routine to ensure a seamless and stress free stay. Care is always tailored to the individual dog, whether they are high energy and playful or more reserved and prefer a calm, quiet setting. To ensure the best fit, I would like you to share details about your dog’s temperament, energy level, daily routine, and any behavioral tendencies prior to booking. This allows me to provide thoughtful, personalized care. Transportation (pick-up and drop-off) is available, with reduced rates for nearby locations. Complimentary drop-off is offered for returning clients. For the safety and balance of the home environment: 1. Dogs should be comfortable around other dogs 2. No severe separation anxiety 3. Potty trained preferred My goal is to provide a premium, reliable experience where your dog feels secure, respected, and genuinely at home ❤️ I work from home, so I’m with the dogs all day. Caring for them is part of my daily routine. Walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of snuggles. With two pups of my own, adding one more just means more love! I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. Inside, they’re truly part of the family, spending time with me and my two friendly dogs throughout the day. Dogs are welcome on the bed and couch during the day if they enjoy it. However, for safety, all dogs sleep separately at night. The entire first floor is fully pet proofed, and I spend most of my time there with them, so they’re never left alone or unsupervised. I follow each pup’s routine for meals, walks, medication, and rest to help them feel comfortable and at home. You’ll also receive regular photo updates!
About: I grew up in a household with 7 dogs and I've been watching my neighbors and my family's pets for years. I also worked at a dog boarding facility for several years. I currently have two very high energy corgis but currently have a lot of time and love for more animals! I currently work remote so am very flexible with my hours to match your pets needs, weekdays and week ends. I am also able to accommodate last minute (even day/hour of) requests no problem if I have availability As I work from home I'm able to give the pets a little extra care no matter the time of day and without having to rush off for my own job or family (my wife is perfectly able to handle my 2 doggies on her own!). Able to send as many updates and pics as needed to ease separation and can handle any special requests.
“My cautious pup happily approached Megan and welcomed her. I was so happy to see this! Megan has been a great dog walker for us, she’s even taken it upon herself to cleanup one of Sugars accidents. Thank you, Megan!”
“Haeun is a gem! 💎 She was responsive, flexible, prompt, thorough, and our pup Luna was a very happy camper when she got back from her walk. We would definitely book Haeun again for our pup!”
“We’ve been using June for walks while we’re at work and she is great!! Our dog Norbert loved her immediately! She is extremely communicative and leaves detailed report cards! I know Norbert is in good hands with June, and we’re lucky to have found her!”
“Emily was fantastic! She had excellent communications, was extremely punctual and I was very comfortable with her taking care of Goober. Even better Goober absolutely loves her!!”
“Stacy is one of the best I’ve ever worked with!! She is extremely communicative, punctual and my not-so-friendly-to-everyone dog LOVES every minute she gets to spend with her so much!”
“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”

I would love to care for your pets as my own! We do have a small Chihuahua mix named Fabel. She is great with all dogs and cats. I also have to be the ones that are 10 and 6 that are great little helpers. We have trails close by with lots of grassy areas to run around. We love long walks, play, & cuddles.

Cuddles. Whatever your pup is used to and likes we’ll follow along.
“We absolutely love Mera! From day one, it’s been clear how genuinely caring and attentive she is with my dog. Every walk is thoughtful and tailored, and my dog is always so excited to see them. I really appreciate the reliable communication and detailed updates, which give me total peace of mind. My dog always comes home happy, calm, and clearly well loved. You can tell Mera treats every dog like her own. I couldn’t recommend her more—trustworthy, kind, and truly wonderful with dogs.”

I want to be sure I can create a safe, comfortable environment so that your pet can thrive
“Cecelia & Andrew are the best!! They go above and beyond on walks with my girl - often spending more time with her than requested.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
Just moved and urgently needed a walker for a couple of days later. June was responsive immediately and set up a meet and greet. She was communicative the entire process and very accommodating. She shared a detailed write up and several pictures. Really appreciate her help and I’m sure Alfie had a great time!!!
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.

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.
