About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! And cats more recently (within the last 4ish years). I always had dogs growing up and have pet-sit since I was around 14! Can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I’m a student and I work part-time. But I will definitely make time for your fur-babies! I will most likely take care of them in after classes, or before and after work shifts! I have plenty experience in informally training dogs, spending time with animals, and feeding and playing with them! I will work together with you to take care of your pet with whatever plan you decide!

About: Hello, my name is Eden. I grew up around both cats and dogs of different breeds and sizes, so I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. As a full-time college student, I’m used to staying organized and following schedules, which helps me provide consistent and reliable care. From walks and playtime to simple companionship, I’ll make sure your pet is well looked after and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, or overnight companionship, I’m committed to giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your home, keep everything clean, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. My priority is your pet’s safety and happiness, and I am committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care that you can count on.

About: I’m always that person at the party who hangs out with the sweet dogs. I’ve always had pets in the house. When your pet is happy, I’m happy. I enjoy getting to know them! I’m currently on a very flexible schedule. Having a position like this brings me great joy. I’m also a flexible personality, and an excellent communicator. I am very thorough with communicating with you about your pets needs. I feel very comfortable being in the pets home. I can imagine it’s hard for an animal being in a new home with totally different and unfamiliar scents. I’d be happy to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Getting to know them, and what they enjoy, is one of the best parts about this position!

About: Ever since I was little, I have had a passion for all animals, big and small, of every kind. I have 4 pets of my own, 1 cat and 2 dogs (a Shih Tzu and an American Staffordshire) and a guinea pig! I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years. Anytime a family member or friend will be out of town, they all know they can count on me to provide unconditional love and care for their pets, because they know... PETS ARE MY PASSION. THEY ARE FAMILY! I am open and flexible with my schedule, and can accommodate most needs. I have experience with puppies, kittens, birds, bunnies, older cats, and older dogs, (and sick pets too 😞) I have lost a few pets in my life, but all have lived long healthy lives with so much love. I'm familiar and comfortable with giving pets their medicine if needed. I have lots of love to give, to all the animals I meet! Rest assured, your pets will be cared for! **AVAILABLE ON HOLIDAYS!** I am a self employed house cleaner, so my schedule is very flexible. I can and will work around your schedule to provide the utmost care for your pets when needed. I ALWAYS provide photos and keep you updated on your pets!! I understand that time is a valuable thing, so I always make sure my pets, and others are always taken care of. I take pride in my pet care. I am honest, and patient, and it makes me so happy when pets get excited to see their owners, or guests.

About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family! I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I love giving pets plenty of love, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾💕 Hi! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable, caring, and would treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to help with walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting! 💕 I have a nice-sized home and prefer pets who enjoy being indoors. Your pet will have their own comfortable space in my home, and you’re welcome to bring a crate or kennel if they’re more comfortable with their own setup. I can also provide their usual food if needed. I have two children, ages 2½ years and 7.5 pmonths. My older child is very mature and understands boundaries and directions. I’ll always gradually introduce her to your pet and only allow interaction if you’re comfortable with it. Otherwise, your pet can have plenty of quiet space downstairs with me. I also have safety gates on my stairs to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life! I’ve had dogs, cats, a bunny and a hedgehog! I’ve worked for an independent pet sitter before! I’ve taken a couple training classes with my own fur babies so I know a little bit about training. I’ve helped nurse kittens as well! I work M-F 8am-5/6pm & have weekends off. I do sometimes change my work schedule around for pet visits so I charge a cancellation fee for cancellations that are 2 days before. My own pets are kenneled throughout the day when no one is home. They go outside regularly about every 2 hours when someone is home. I feed them early morning & when I get home from work. We work through our training exercises daily! I take care of my clients pets however they have asked me to and treat them as if they are my own fur babies! Your pets will know nothing but love & fun when I’m with them!

About: Hello! I have previously built a small dog sitting clientele in the city of Columbia between the years of 2017-2019. In 2019 I moved to STL and worked through Rover for about two more years until I got a full time job. Currently dipping my toes back into pet care! Although I am in St. Louis I am willing to travel to areas including, but not limited to; St. Charles, Wentzville, O'Fallon, etc. My set days off are Sunday and Monday. I do still currently have a fulltime job, so for the time being I will only be able to do drop in visits and walks. I am comfortable working with either dogs or cats. I have a 4 year old orange cat that I rescued at just 2 weeks old, so I have experience working with very small kittens as well. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work about 30 hours a week, but will not let this effect how I care for your pet! My days off are always Sunday and Monday, and I am available at anytime either of those days, as well as most evenings and certain mornings. I unfortunately cannot offer services in my own home, but I am more than willing to provide pet watching in the clients home. I am able to do drop in visits, feedings, hair brushes, playtime, walks or whatever your pet needs while you're at work or just out for the day.

“Catelyn stepped in to walk my dog, Princeton Antonio, for a few mornings while our regular walker was away and she made a wonderful impression in such a short time! She was communicative, punctual, and kind, and she treated Princeton with such care and attentiveness. On her last day, she even left a thoughtful thank-you card, which speaks volumes about the kind of person (and professional) she is. Though our time together was brief, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind-hearted dog walker.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Edwardsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Edwardsville is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $26 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 October 2026, there are 1,999 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Edwardsville. 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 Edwardsville. 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 , 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 Edwardsville 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Edwardsville. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
