About: I am a big animal lover and I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I could remember! I am very comfortable around dogs and I am willing to adapt to how to best take care of your pupper! I would love to take them on walks around the neighborhood and to the dog parks so they could interact with other dogs while you’re away. As a side note, I have a pup of my own - an energetic miniature poodle who loves walks and cuddling. I am available on the weekends if you want to take a trip or on weekday evenings after 5:30 if you have a date night or need a night away! I provide dog walks, enrichment activities, and of course- lots of snuggles- during my care routine for dogs. Dog walks typically include 30 minute walks around the neighborhood to give your dog mental stimulation and get some sniffs in. Drop ins include potty breaks, feeding, medication (if needed), and lots of pets and belly rubs!

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

About: I have always grown up with pets in my life and love learning all about the different breeds and personalities a dog can have! I love spending time with animals and find that the best parts of my day involve playtime and cuddle time with my pup! I have a large backyard where your dog can play and get their zoomies out along with a dog pool for the warmer days! I have a quiet and calming area in my home for your dog to take a break or a nice long nap as desired. My flexible work from home schedule always ensure that a potty break or midday walk is never missed! When your dog is in my care, they will be loved just like my own! I currently work from home and make my own schedule. I am always available for any pet care that’s needed, including potty breaks, a quick treat, or just to give some belly rubs! Since I work for my laptop, I can work from any part of the house which includes being outside while your dog plays and soaks up the sun. During the weekends, I spend my time playing with my dog, going to the dog park, or cuddling on the couch. If this sounds like something, your dog would enjoy, they would fit right in! I have a partially fenced in backyard with only one side of the yard not being fully fenced. I have a yard steak that can be put in the ground that extends throughout most of the yard so that your dog can feel just as free as if the yard was completely fenced. When my dog is outside, I am either outside with her or watching her from the big windows in my home that face the backyard to always make sure she’s being safe. During the day, the doors are always closed and treats are always put up to avoid any overindulgence or escaping the home when I am unaware.

Iggy loved Megan. Iggy is not an easy walk (stubborn) but Megan showed infinite patience to get him well exercised. The bonus is Megan's deep knowledge of all things dog related so you know your buddy is in sure hands at all times.

About: I have experience in veterinary clinics, so I know how to handle anxious pets. My time in vet clinics and animal shelters allow me to navigate pets that I am meeting for the first time. I am a pre veterinary student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, so I spend a lot of time studying and attending classes. Pet care gives me a short and enjoyable break. I am very good at forming bonds with animals. I pay great attention to the body language of pets and respect the feelings they express.

I have my own car so I have reliable transportation. I don’t mind taking them out as much as needed to go for walks or to the bathroom, as well as just playing with them / keeping an eye on them indoors!

About: With a nurturing touch and an innate ability to quickly bond with animals, I provide exceptional pet care by treating them as cherished family members. Specializing in both puppy training and senior care, I ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Drawing from my experience of owning multiple dogs since the age of 12, I understand the unique needs and dynamics of canine companionship. After completing my morning workouts, basketball training, and studies, I have plenty of free time throughout the day. I find solace in spending time with pets during these moments of relaxation. It's a genuine joy for me, and I'm always available to make new furry friends whenever the opportunity arises. I create a safe and cozy environment for pets, whether it's at my place or yours. I make sure there are no dangers around and follow your instructions closely. Your furry friend will get all the care they need, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

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: As a lifelong dog owner and current dog mom myself, I love all pups! I'm an early childhood special ed teacher who's looking to love on some fur babies this summer. Whether your dog needs a serious power walk or a chill potty break and snuggles, I've got them covered! I'm comfortable with basic command reinforcement, can stick to mealtime routines or a quick brush-out if needed! I'm happy to treat them as my own! :) I have not had cats before but am happy to feed or give your kitties some love as well! I'm a special education teacher on summer break which means my availability is flexible! I will be off of work beginning May 26th. I do have my own pup at home so I prefer to do check ins and walks as needed! Because I like to stay active with my own family, friends and pup during the break, I do require at least 48 hours of notice for bookings. I am generally available between 8am to 8pm. Since I have my own pup, I'm only doing house calls! Your dog will get my full attention in the comfort of their own neighborhood. I will make sure to check pavements before a walk and make sure collars/harnesses are firmly attached before we head out. You'll get plenty of photo updates!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Edwardsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Edwardsville on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,046 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 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 Edwardsville.

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 Edwardsville. On Rover:

  • 95% 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 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.
