About: Hello!! I’m Brooke, a third -year veterinary student at the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine and a Texas A&M graduate. Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would with you. 🩺Experience: I have been pet-sitting for families for over a decade, and throughout the years, I’ve learned so much about caring for pets and, just as importantly, helping their owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and reassurance! Additionally, I have several years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, including working as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency settings. I’ve also cared for pets in boarding and shelter environments, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and needs. If your pet requires medications, I’m experienced giving oral, topical, and injectable treatments with care and confidence. This experience has taught me to recognize changes in an animal’s behavior and notice when something may be medically concerning. I’m attentive to the little things and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or anything that may need your attention. ** Any income will go directly toward living expenses and veterinary school loans, so I truly appreciate any opportunities, referrals, or recommendations. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to check availability- I’d love to help! 😊 ** ⭐️Availability⭐️ Weekdays: 7:00-8:00am, 12:00-1:00pm, and evening visits, typically after 5:00pm. This can vary depending on my schedule. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to adjust time frames and I would be happy to make things work for both of our schedules. Weekends: Flexible availability. 📸When you book with me, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages each visit so you always know how your pet is doing! I know being away from your pets can be hard, so I want to make sure you feel confident and at ease knowing they’re in caring and good hands. ♥️ 🏡 Staying overnight: For house sitting, I don’t stay overnight since I have pets of my own at home. I’m happy to come by and spend plenty of time with your pets and make sure they’re well cared for throughout the day—I just wouldn’t be staying the night. I always like to clarify that upfront so there are no surprises! 💰Pricing: My pricing is based on several factors, including current rates from local Rover sitters, my years of pet-sitting experience, my professional experience in the veterinary field, and Rover’s 20% service fee that is deducted from the initial booking charge. I always try to be very intentional with my pricing and keep it as fair and reasonable as possible while still reflecting the experience and level of care I provide. As a veterinary student, I bring an extra level of knowledge, attention to detail, and awareness when it comes to your pet’s health and wellbeing. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I always adjust my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. 😊

I am able to be flexible and I can complete drop in visits during over night stays. I have no issues checking in and letting your pets out during my lunch break to ensure they are relieved!

About: edit: slightly raised my overnight and walking rates. if you were a repeat customer before this change I can continue to honour my original prices if you wish. I'm a long time dog lover and lover of animals in general. Over the years I've lived in places or have visited places that have had dogs and I always get along great with them. My current job allows me to come into contact with several dogs on a daily/nightly basis and they always seem to flock to me. I'm an avid walker too so to be able to help someone with the walking of their own furry family member would be a great joy. I spend a lot of time alone and getting to spend some of that with someone's dog even for a couple hours I'm sure will benefit all of us greatly. I think I could be a great help to you all. Prices are negotiable!

“Makalli was incredible with my dog! I was so worried! I've never left my dog with anyone before. I am not local and was just passing through and needed someone to look after my dog while I went to an appointment. The appointment went long past expected and Makalli was so flexible and gracious about the whole situation! She put me at ease and did really well with my dog, who can be a bit of a rowdy one sometimes! Five out of five recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bishop Hills on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bishop Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Bishop Hills. 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 Bishop Hills.
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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
