I’ve hired Victoria a handful of time over the last couple months for dog walking, and she’s been great! She’s extremely flexible to my changing, military schedule, and always gives Nala extra love. She is very communicative and I look forward to the photos she sends me! Will continue to book with Victoria!

About: With 11 years of hands-on experience caring for both my own pets and others’, I specialize in cats and dogs — I know how to read their body language, keep them comfortable, and stick to their routines. Since I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. And because I don’t have other pets in my home, your pet gets my full, undivided attention — no competing for space, food, or affection with a resident animal. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, not just around it. My work is flexible, so I’m either home or able to come back frequently throughout the day — your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available all seven days of the week, so there’s no gap in coverage between weekdays and weekends. Boarding • Your pet stays in my home with no other pets competing for attention. I keep feeding and routines on schedule, and since I work from home, someone’s around for most of the day. Drop-ins • I follow whatever routine you’ve set — feeding, medication, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime — with a photo update after each visit. Walks • One walk a day, paced to your pet’s comfort level, on-leash and supervised the whole time. I pay close attention to their cues, especially with cats and small-to-medium dogs, where I have the most hands-on experience. House-sitting • I usually do NOT stay at clients homes overnight or for extended periods during the day! • I will check in with your pets in the AM/PM (as needed) and follow their routines so their schedule is consistent, and provide photos throughout the stay. *Every visit ends with a photo, so you always know your pet is happy and cared for.

About: I have been a lifetime pet owner, small to big. I helped raise 6 vizsla puppies in 2023 and continue to care for 3 of them when they need it. I have two cats myself that I love dearly. I also already work with dogs full time at a doggy daycare!! I am currently working full time so I will have time to take care of your fur baby in the morning and in the evening!! As a dog walker I will respect your home and space by not touching or wandering in spaces that I don’t need to be in. I will also respect your dog and their boundaries, I’m used to dogs that don’t like people and dogs that like people a little bit too much. There’s not much I won’t be able to handle!!

About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.

About: As a pet owner of 28 years, I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies behind for hours on end, and my goal is to relieve you and your pet of any worries! I love taking dogs for walks for stimulation and activity. Your dog will receive my care with attention to pacing, any health concerns, and lots of fun! My schedule changes weekly, meaning I am very flexible for your needs. Generally weekdays during normal working hours is when I am the most free!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, which has given me hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my natural comfort and understanding of animals—I’m attentive to their behavior, patient with their needs, and focused on making them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. I have experience with both energetic puppies and older pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s helping reinforce basic training for young dogs, sticking to routines, or providing calm, attentive care for seniors, I adjust my approach to fit each pet. I’m also comfortable managing multiple pets and following specific care instructions closely. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with reliability, compassion, and plenty of attention. I am currently working part time, so my availability is flexible for walks and drop-in visits! I do have my own furry friend, so I am unavailable for extended visits and overnight care. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own - frequent walks, play time, and all the snuggles! Safety is a must for me, so I promise your dog and home will always be safe in my care.

About: I've had the most honorable pleasure of being part of my own late fur babies (dogs) lives for 17 and 14 years. As well as my first ever cat, Catwoman (sorry girl, for the typical young child name). Then a few others as life went on, Anastasia, Callie, and Izzy (Isabella). Caring for and loving them was my pleasure and took me on many lifelong learning adventures. In order to make a difference for the loves of my lives I have decided to offer my heart to pet care. If given the chance, I can only hope to show your pets love like their own, trust, snuggles, fun, and more...everything they've ever dreamed of. Thank you for entrusting your very special babies to me. I look forward to meeting any and all of them. Due to being a stay at home homemaker it seems I have plenty of time to devote to loving and caring for your loves as if they were my own. I'm available and open to accommodate many different schedules. As of now I am available to care for your loved ones in their own setting where they're most comfortable. Your home is where I'm able to love and care for your furbabies. There are also many possibilities for walking, and I also offer vet visit care. That's as in being your pets' veterinary appointment partner.

Ellie has been helping us out by walking our dog, Wally, a few days a week. She is reliable and sends me a picture of Wally on his walks every time! Wally is a high energy dog and he is visibly calmer on days he gets to walk with Ellie! We can tell that he loves his walks with her and can tell that she treats him with love and kindness! He now knows her name and gets excited every morning when I tell him that Ellie is coming to see him later! We’re grateful to have a trustworthy person to spend time with him when we’re busy working. We will continue to hire Ellie as often as we can! Thank you Ellie!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I take them for walks give them a bath I’ll teach them new commands and my favorite of all is cuddling on the couch watching a movie. Welcome! I’m so glad you’re considering us to care for your pup. I work full-time Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule, primarily from home, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I work in the office, your pup will never be left alone for more than 3–4 hours. We also have a sweet, playful dog named Coco who loves making new furry friends, along with two children who adore dogs and are gentle, loving companions. Your pup will be treated like part of our family and receive plenty of love, playtime, and care while they’re with us. Our standard drop-off and pick-up hours are 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. If you need times outside of those hours, please send your request for the day before or after, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home and become a trusted part of their extended family! Our community is amazing there are plenty of dogs in our community that are extremely playful. We have a park about 3 blocks away. The park also has a walking trail. I take dogs for walks over there and we throw the ball quite often.

About: being around dogs is both a joy of mine but also a necessity! i have taken care of and grown up with many different breeds and sizes of dogs throughout my life and would love to continue to help you and your furry friend! as every dog is different and specific to their own needs, i will do my absolute best to take good care of your dog and make them feel right at home however you please currently, i would say i am working a pretty full time job with 6-8 hour long shifts but am flexible to adjust my schedule as long as you contact me a week in advance. however if this does sound doable for your pup i am generally available throughout the whole week except for mondays! i do live in an apartment, however there is plenty of grass nearby including the secluded neighborhood that it is in. i would be happy to take your dog on walks or to nearby parks. perhaps a dog park also if that is something they do well with and enjoy. i live in a fairly spacious, yet cozy space and and am willing to provide a kennel if need be.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Council Bluffs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Council Bluffs on Rover is $19.98 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 987 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Council Bluffs. 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 Council Bluffs. 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 Council Bluffs.

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 Council Bluffs. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
