About: Hi! My name is Madison and I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities! I have had dogs all my life and currently have two cats of my own, Willow and Daisy. From volunteering at local animal rescues to previous work at a doggy daycare center, I have experience with a broad range of temperaments and can quickly adapt to meet the needs of individual pets. As a pharmacy technician, I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medical needs such as insulin or medication. I work full time and am able to stop before and after work. My shifts are about 8 hours with a 1 hour break if an additional stop is needed during this time. I am able to adjust my out of work schedule in order to prioritize your pet! I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets in my care by maintaining a pet-friendly, secure environment. At my home, I ensure all potential hazards (like toxic plants or dangerous objects) are kept out of reach, and I provide designated areas for rest, play, and meals. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions regarding routines, diet, and preferences, while also ensuring their home is safe and comfortable for the pet. I aim to establish trust through clear communication, regular updates, and by respecting the pet's needs and boundaries, making sure they feel comfortable and at ease throughout my care.

About: Ever since I was young I have been surrounded by animals and have always found a connection with them. I have watched and cared for pets owned by friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care and entertain your furry friends! I work 2-10pm some days, but message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am flexible and can accommodate accordingly. I prefer to take care of animals in the comfort of their own home. I am very respectful and a trusted individual so your animals and space are safe with me.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was born and now I have my own. I have also dog sat for people and treat them like my own. My job is very flexible so I can come and go as needed to spend time with your babies! I work during the week and have the weekends off! I do offer constant care but higher prices will incur. I have a semi fenced yard and can take them out on leashes to be safe. I also have a fur baby to keep your dog company.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I regularly help care for a German Shepherd, including feeding, administering oral medications, and providing frequent potty breaks and attention. I’m also experienced with smaller, high-energy dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. In addition, I have my own cat, so I’m very familiar with feline care, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and giving lots of attention to more vocal or affectionate cats. I also care for my own pet gecko, which has given me experience maintaining consistent routines and meeting specific care needs for animals. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and needs, including pets that require extra care or supervision. I’m available Thursdays through Sundays for full-time care, and can also care for pets on my workdays after shifts. I’m experienced with adult dogs, cats, and pets with special needs, and I always make sure they receive attention, feeding, and potty breaks according to their schedule I provide attentive and loving care for pets, whether in my home or theirs. At a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, give pets regular attention and potty breaks, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment with plenty of love, attention, and safe spaces for pets to relax and play

About: I have always had cats and dogs in my own home. Life long animal lover. I will treat your pet like my own while you trust them in my care. I am a social worker (not a 9-5 job) so I have the flexibility to check on your pet at various times throughout the day. I have a fenced in back yard. I am also strong enough to walk your larger dogs. I can also just sit down and give them all the love and pets they need.

Erik was so helpful, as I can walk some of my dogs but not all. He took the one that I couldn't & gave him a good workout. He communicated well, asking if could come early as his schedule opened up. I will use him again.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a freshman in high school. I have 5 of my own dogs which is a lot of work but has helped grow my experience. I’m a college student working part time and majority of my classes are online. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands if you need me to check in or stay over. I make sure your dog is safe and happy while also following the list of instructions given by you. If you need me to stay over I can maintain a clean environment

About: I have grown up surrounded by my loving animals. Dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters just to name a few. I have worked in the past at a veterinary clinic as an assistant & I loved it. I have large dogs and a tiny Chihuahua so I understand the difference between the needs of various dogs. I have 4 cats and I absolutely adore them. Cats bring me so much joy! I am currently available anytime for your pet care needs! I am an early riser for anyone that needs early morning care. I can clean up after your pet, walk your dog, play fetch any & all needs to make your pet happy. Studies show even a 30 min walk helps prevent excessive boredom for your dog. I am able to provide long walks & play time for your pets. I can change & disinfect litter boxes. Play with your cats & love on them as much as they will allow!

I do get a break in the middle of the day to take care of any of the animal’s needs! I currently do not have any pets in my home. Crate/kennel training or a fenced in yard isn’t necessary.

About: Hi, I’m Raven! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for animals. As a dedicated dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet’s care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I currently own a Catahoula Leopard Dog, so I’m familiar with energetic breeds and the importance of daily exercise, enrichment, and consistent care. I currently work as a Family Support Specialist and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day, including walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, and companionship. I work both from home and in the office, giving me flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs. I cannot have other dogs in my home due to my Catahoula Leopard being protective. I have always kept an eye on dogs when they go outside and I even go outside with them to allow them to go the bathroom and also play with the them.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I believe pets deserve a high quality of care. I have adopted dogs and cats in the past. At the moment I only have cats and miss having a doggy friend to walk and give rubs. I am comfortable with all sizes of animals and whatever special needs they may have, just wanna keep the fur babies happy. Currently my schedule allows me to be available: Saturdays and Sundays 10am-7pm Mondays-Friday 8am-6pm If you need different time accommodations message me and I can see what I can do. I don’t offer pet sitting in my home because of my 3 cats. I don’t want to create a stressful environment for any animals. In my clients home I will make sure they have plenty of exercise thru play and going for walks, clean water and sufficient food (accommodating special diet if necessary). Provide a safe environment for them to feel comfortable. I will abide to any and all rules the client has for their home and will keep my own footprint in their home small and clean up after myself.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Emily and I am a huge animal lover. I am located in Cedar Rapids and almost always available. I have about 15 years of experience with both cats & dogs and have 4 dogs of my own. I have 3 little girls who are 5, 4, and 9 months 😊 We live in a ranch style home and have a fenced in backyard. I am an active person and will give your pet plenty of love and attention. I will also take dogs on walks if they enjoy that. I have never had an owner unhappy with their pets stay. I have a Facebook page as well with pictures, information, and reviews. Please feel free to call or text with any questions or to book. I work from home so I will be there most of the time to make sure you fur baby gets plenty of attention and play time! I have a fenced in yard so dogs can be out there and play around as much as they want to when we’re home. If they enjoy playing with other dogs I have 1 bigger one and 3 smaller ones. They will be crated whenever we are not home to ensure they’re safe unless they’re used to free roaming and won’t have accidents or be destructive.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cedar Rapids

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Cedar Rapids on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 550 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cedar Rapids. 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 Cedar Rapids. 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 Cedar Rapids.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cedar Rapids. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
