“Jack continues to provide excellent service walking our dog Benson. It was bitter cold a couple mornings. We have him scheduled for early in the morning and he was always on time. He took Benson for the whole scheduled walk not cutting it short even on the really cold mornings. Thank you Jack!!!”

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.

“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 experience caring for both small and large dogs, from energetic puppies to more laid-back companions. I grew up with dogs and have learned that every breed and personality has different needs. I’ve cared for and walked Morkies, Boxers, Rottweilers, Black Labs, Havanese, and many other breeds. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I enjoy giving them plenty of exercise and attention. When appropriate, I love taking dogs for walks, playing fetch, or visiting a dog park so they can get some extra playtime and socialization. I also have experience training my own dogs and have picked up helpful techniques for managing different behaviors. I’m comfortable with baths and light grooming when needed, and most importantly, I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule, which allows me to build pet care into my daily routine. I work from home several days a week and have flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and check-ins. I’m also happy to plan visits around each pet’s normal routine and needs. Outside of work, I enjoy getting out for walks and staying active, so taking dogs for walks or giving them playtime fits naturally into my day. I’m able to discuss specific schedules and routines with each pet parent to make sure their pet gets consistent, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications if applicable, and any specific instructions from their owner. In my home, I have two dogs of my own—a 7-year-old dog and a 6-month-old puppy. They are both accustomed to having other dogs around, and I understand the importance of making sure every dog feels comfortable and has time to adjust to a new environment. I provide a clean, welcoming space with plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, and rest. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family while they’re in my care.

Being able to take care of them during the work day isn’t a problem! Our apartment is near grassy areas and parks, easily able to walk and take them to pets to play. Plenty of space for pets to relax.

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: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of all kinds of animals and pets! I’m currently in school for Veterinary Nursing, and I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your pet! I understand the worry and anxiety that can come with leaving the care of your pet to a stranger and would make sure you’re always updated as fits your needs. I work part time currently while in school, and I actually am working towards making my clients here on Rover my full time job while in school! Currently, I will not be able to house any pets yet as I live in an apartment complex. I will be able to do walks and daily drop ins and hopefully expand to a house where dogs can stay and play! I do have the ability to do dog washes as well.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities, whether they love long walks, playtime, or curling up for some extra attention. Also I have had many reptiles so am very comfortable with the unique care that is needed. I am very comfortable feeding snakes, and lizards of all kind! As a full-time student, my schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and can easily work around your pet’s normal routine, whether they need walks, drop-ins, playtime, or some extra company. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your care instructions closely. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or spending more time with your pet, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

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.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and have frequently cared for friends pets while they were away. I used to volunteer for the humane society and have had various trainings for proper pet handling. I work full time but love to get in early morning or late evening walks. Our schedule is pretty flexible so I can talk with you to find something that works best. I have a large fenced in yard and one friendly dog to play with. We can accommodate kennels as needed. Dogs are allowed everywhere in our home, but we have pet gates in place to separate by areas of the home if needed. When your dog stays with me they become a member of our family. My schedule is currently flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, whether they need an early morning walk, a midday potty break, dinner-time visit, or evening check-in. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and respect both your pet’s routine and your space. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and known escape artists, and I take time to make sure pets feel comfortable with me rather than rushing interactions. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

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’m currently available full-time to do either visits or house sit. Watching your fur babies bring some excitement into my daily routine and give them the care they need. I am able to sit at the client’s house-or overnight stays at this time. I am able to have pets in my house as long as they get along with cats as I have two of them.

As of October 2026, there are 977 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Council Bluffs after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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
  • 98% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
