About: I have 3 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs of a variety of breeds, and have worked with puppies as well as older pets in home environments such as suburbs, cities, and rural areas. I am happy to cater to your pet's special needs, and I focus on respecting each pet's boundaries and getting to know them on a case by case basis, with the hope that they grow to trust me as much as they trust you! Since I am a writer who works remotely, I am open on a weekly basis and am able to be flexible in order to meet your scheduling requirements. I work hard to ensure that your pet's personal boundaries are not crossed while we take time to get to know each other. I especially care about learning their preferences in order to earn their favor and eventually their trust. Depending on each pet, I try to be very sensitive to any shifts in their mood or behavior, such as if they get anxiety when left alone or are afraid of loud weather.

About: I love taking care of animals but I also love truly engaging with your pets, and giving them extra love each time I'm with them. I try to make it a little easier for them with their family being away by making sure they are entertained and happy. I have very flexible availability, mainly mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I am always willing to discuss specific availability needs and I have a very flexible schedule. I love really engage and play with your pets and to send lots of pictures and share updates when I stay with your pet overnight.

About: i’m going into my second year of college pursuing a degree in science and mathematics. my goal is to have a career in wildlife rehabilitation or veterinary care. i also have experience within EMS & firefighting as i’ve been a volunteer since 16. i’ve always loved animals of any kind and have been in aw by my own pets. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs, but currently live with only my senior cat (i brought her along with me for college). shes very specific but i make sure to keep up on her needs and do whatever i can for my baby. i live in a smaller sized apartment so I don’t currently have my dogs living with me, but since being away i miss being around them. soon i will be an intern at a zoo for animal care so i’m really looking forward to this opportunity! i love looking after family and friends pets, everytime I just feel as joyous as can be. I would love to start taking care of more pets within my community and gain more experience! __________________________________________ little side note: i allow my pets on my bed and couch with me all the time, just for some reason I wasn’t sure how to edit that off my profile lol so just know your pet is more than welcome 👌 i’m currently on summer break working a part time job, but have a flexible schedule. i like to go outside to parks, find good places to hike, and staying active. with bookings i will make sure to keep myself available or work with your schedule, whether that be for mornings, evenings, or even overnight. i’m also available the weekends. once school begins i will still be able to remain flexible. my senior cat sofia is specific with her needs, whether that’s the food she eats, the places she sleeps, or the litter i get. whatever her needs may be, whether she likes her hard food or gets sick of and only wants wet food, i make sure to listen. when she’s having a stomach ache or under the weather, i’m alerted and get her the best care i can provide. when it comes to family or friends animals like their dogs i like to spend a lot of time with them outside, taking them to parks, and even to hike depending on the kind of dog and their energy level. for clients i’ll ensure to keep them updated on their pets and if their were special instructions on how they want their pet to be treated i will do my best to make sure they are safe and well cared for.

Rebecca was absolutely amazing with my dog, and my dog absolutely loved her! She went above and beyond, taking her to the park and on hour-long walks, making sure she got plenty of exercise, attention, and fun. I am always confident that my dog is in great hands with Rebecca and I highly recommend her to anyone.

About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.

About: My name is Heather, I am an old soul who has always felt a deeper connection with animals than with any person. I have 20+ years experience working with various species of pets including dogs, cats, birds, mice, rats, fish, snakes, hamsters, gerbils, goats, horses, and donkeys! Currently my husband and I share a loving home with twolarge Dogs: Bella and Wyatt. Two cats: Xena and Tarzan. Several fish and plants! We have a barn with two horse and two goats. We do not have a fenced in yard but we do have plenty of space to run around on leash! We also have close to 60 acres of hay fields we enjoy hiking with our dogs when the weather is nice. I have worked with special needs animals at an animal sanctuary. During my time there I learned how to administer medications to both dogs and cats. I have experience working with senior pets as well as pets with various disabilities. I feel it is very important to take the time to get to know the animal which is why I am looking forward to a meet and greet with everyone who is interested in using my services! Please feel free to message me anytime with questions, comments or concerns! I am currently a stay at home mom. As of right now my schedule is flexible. I am available for drop ins, boarding and doggy day care. I have three large dogs that are well versed with new dogs coming and going. Patches in particular is our younger pup and LOVES playing with other dogs.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I previously helped manage a busy dog daycare in Central Jersey, so I'm comfortable handling multiple dogs while making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own. I also offer grooming services, making it easy for your pet to come home happy, clean, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to get your pup out and get some energy out of them! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and medications (if needed) to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I am certified in Fear Free Shelter Training that allows me to properly care for animals in a low stress environment. I have also worked with a variety of species from house pets, rodents, exotics and farm animals! As of right now pet sitting is my full time job. I am available almost all times of the day. If I cannot do a specific day or time I will be sure to let you know in advance! I cannot bring your pets to my home as I have too many pets of my own. However, I am more than willing to take your pets out for walks, to play ball or just hangout at home with them!

About: I grew up around animals my entire life and have always had a genuine passion for caring for them. I have experience with both small and large breeds, from young puppies to large dogs like Great Danes, as well as cats. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy and hyper dogs and make sure they get the exercise, structure, and attention they need. I always follow your pet’s training, routines, and any special requirements to ensure consistent, safe, and loving care. I work from home, which allows me to be readily available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and any special routines your pet may need. Your pet will never be left without care or attention. I don’t have children, which creates a calm and stress-free environment—ideal for pets who may not be accustomed to kids. I know several enclosed dog parks where dogs can safely play, socialize, and burn off energy. My home is clean, secure, and pet-friendly. If I stay at a client’s home, I also provide light cleaning services to maintain a tidy and comfortable environment. I have a reliable car for any emergencies or vet visits, and I am attentive, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable space for every pet.

About: Hi there! I’ve taken care of many different pets of all backgrounds and varieties over my lifetime. Most were family owned, others I’ve sat for neighbors, friends, and family members. I’ve volunteered at 2 humane societies. As a 24 year old full time graduate student, I’m looking to spend any free time taking care of pets and it helps pay the bills. I love animals - no surprise there - and I wish to help out anyone who’s seeking it. I own a kitten myself. I am a full time online graduate student and could use any extra support during school, so what better way than to do it than to do pet sitting! I’m available most days of every week and can work holidays. I’m flexible and love all pets of all shapes and sizes :) We have proofing of our house and make sure our animals don’t get hurt. I would love to keep in contact throughout the day if an owner desires and make sure I can give the best of the best care by taking into account an animals preferences.

About: I have several years of experience with my adorable pup and lots of others! I would love to get to know your dog!! :) :) I am a college student home for the summer working at my part time job. (I work at a golf course as well.) I’m available everyday of the week, except for some weeknight afternoons and weekend mornings - but this changes frequently so my schedule is pretty open. I am extremely careful caring for pets, as I would want and expect for anyone to do for my dog as well. Nothing is ever left out for my pet to get into, doors/windows/etc are always shut, yard is fenced in and my dog is always leashed when I am with him, unless he is in our fenced in yard.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ilion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Ilion 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 158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ilion. 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 Ilion. 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 Ilion.

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 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.
