About: I have been babysitting and dog sitting since I was in middle school, which has given me years of experience in being responsible, attentive, and patient. I love staying active and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to take pets for long walks or keep kids engaged with fun activities. Whether I’m following a specific care routine or just providing some extra playtime, I pride myself on being dependable and treating every home with respect. While my schedule varies with my part-time job, I am very flexible and able to work around my shifts to make accommodations for your pet's needs. I am a full-time student taking online courses, which allows me to be home frequently and maintain a presence for pets who need extra attention. I am dedicated to coordinating my time to ensure your furry friends are never left without care and get plenty of playtime throughout the day. I provide a safe and loving environment for every pet I watch, no matter where I’m at. Having been around animals since middle school, I understand the importance of trust and consistent routines. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks or playing outdoors, ensuring they stay happy and healthy. I am also comfortable following any specific safety instructions or crating needs to keep your pet feeling secure.
About: I’ve raised dogs my entire life and my one year old golden loves to walk, play, travel and meet other dogs. I am retired and happy to be of assistance! I was also a ER nurse for over 25 years. I am retired and have plenty of time to help care for or walk any other dogs. I love to walk on a daily basis and maintain a healthy life style. I live in a very pet free home where food is put away and nothing dangerous is accessible for my dog or any others to get into.
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
About: I’ve have taken care of 2 mastiffs and 3 labs within the past 30 years and also a Siamese and bengal and two tabby cats. I love caring for animals of all sorts. I follow all directions well. I will take the time on your animal. I’m caring and sweet and provide excellent care. I can’t wait to watch your animal. I do have two kids that would be there off and on but they love to help out also. I can travel up to 50 miles from me. I will give medication if needed. I’ll watch over your animals well and take care of them properly. I maintain a consistent pet care routine built on three foundational blocks to ensure pets stay healthy, mentally stimulated, and secure. Having this information ensures a safe and stress-free experience for both you and the animal. Caring for pets requires a tailored approach depending on where care takes place and the specific service provided.

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 Galesburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
