“Jessica has been walking our dog for over a year. She is great with him and he gets so excited when she arrives. We have also had drop in visits that helped us out. Highly recommend her services.”
“So thankful I found Kathy! She was great with my puppy, giving him the love and attention he needed when I was at work. It was comforting to know my puppy was in good hands.”
“Cassandra was amazing and kept us up to date while we were out of town for the day. She took pictures and even left a sweet note for when we got home. Will certainly hire her again.”
“Lillian was great with our dog, Odin. I had her come and walk Odin while we were out of town. Odin loved her and was excited to see her come. She was flexible with her schedule and very dependable. I felt so much more comfortable leaving Odin knowing she would be there later to break up his day. I highly recommend her to others and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of diabetic dogs for family and also worked in a shelter. I bathe and have done special diets for dogs. I love caring for them. I currently work full-time but will take my open time to be walking dogs and taking care of them. My routine is to go on walks in the morning and evening. I would treat anyone’s dog with the utmost care. Dogs are someone’s children and they deserve walks and stimulating activities. Some dogs need longer walks while some need short walks and I am here to do anything to help.
“Nicole was so easy to work with! Very professional and asked good questions to ensure she had everything she needed to take great care of our pups. Will definitely use again :)”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.
About: Hi! I’m Rehleigh, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Whether they love to play, snuggle on the couch, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow any routines, medications, or special instructions to help them feel right at home. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your furry friend plenty of love and attention. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I’m available for drop-in visits during evenings & weekends and don’t mind stopping by on my lunch break. On weekdays, your pet will get plenty of love and attention before work, after work, and throughout the evening. Weekends are all about playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have over 7 years of pet sitting experience and treat every dog like they’re one of my own. I always follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay to give you complete peace of mind.
About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Dubuque is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 95 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dubuque. 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 Dubuque. 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 Dubuque 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 Dubuque. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
