“My pup enjoyed her check-in with Ashley, as evidenced by her contented napping when I got home. Ashley was prompt and followed instructions to ensure my trained dog was obedient. 🤓”

“Jake was amazing. He helped me out with little notice and was so kind and sweet to my dog Skye. He not only played and walked with her he took time just to sit and pet her. He is a gem and we will be calling him again!”

“Aleah is the BEST! She responded so quickly, she asked super thoughtful questions about how to provide the best car for my dogs, shes so sweet and was so helpful, and she took really great care of my dogs! Absolutely will be hiring her again in the future and I highly recommend her, she’ll take the best care of your pets :)”

“Amy (and her beautiful family) did such a wonderful job with our fur babies while we were out of town. She kept us informed on their daily activities, fed them, walked them and sent us plenty of pictures. You can tell Amy genuinely cares. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and responsible dog walker.”

“Sarah has been a life saver. My wife and I just moved to Deale and were worried about finding someone to help walk our 7 year old Boston terrier during the day. Sarah came over the day we moved in for an introduction and started walking him the next day. She always sends photos and keeps us in the loop. 10/10 would recommend Sarah!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing extra snuggles for anxious pups. I have had years of experience, with having three labs currently to raising two litters of lab puppies. I have grown up with dogs and love being around them I am in school during the week Monday-Friday. Pet care fits best for me during the evenings or the weekends depending on the week of school. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and cuddle spots. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own space, keep their environment tidy, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: 15+ years of rescue work and fostering dogs/cats. Over 1000+ Fosters and boarders. Experience with all different ages, breeds, medical issues. Able to handle a large pack and individual needs I have flexible hours and can be there for all your pets needs on a case by case basis. I have a very structured routine. Safety is key, walking the property daily to ensure no escape routes and doing door/window checks to keep everyone safe. Keeping their routine as close to normal as possible is key to happy pets.
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid an have pet sit for people since I was about 13 years old. In my own life I have had and trained 3 puppies of my own (Tootsie is still currently in the training works). The most dogs I've watched in one household was four, one golden retriever rescue, one Labrador rescue, and two beagle mix rescues. I've worked with several different breeds of dogs over the years including pit bull mixes, pugs, labs, retrievers, beagles, great danes, etc. I currently am taking some time off from working as a Senior Accountant so have availability all day everyday for the most part, when im not spending time with my pets and hubby that is. 🥰 When I do drop in visits I follow what is requested for dogs regarding feeding time/walking habits. I normally talk to them because well idk, I talk to my pets because thats what you do as a pet person. 😂
About: I have been known for my love of canines since I was a young boy. All of my life, dogs have been members of my family. I am the owner of a local carpet and office cleaning company and certified to clean oriental rugs and upholstery, so no mess is too big for me to handle. Every year I house sit for over 7 days for a family with 5 dogs and a cat. I make sure the house and yard are fresh upon their return. Because of my cleaning business, I am trusted to be in homes and high security buildings without supervision. Your vacation or business trip can be stress-free, and you will have peace of mind knowing that I am taking care of your pet(s) and property. My wife and I are home the majority of the day. She works from home and I have my own business so I can make my own schedule. We don't have any pets of our own, so your pet(s) will get all of the attention. Our fenced in yard allows us to keep the dogs outside with us when we are working in the yard or swimming in our fenced-in pool. We love to play fetch with active dogs and are happy to sit with the older pups. At the client's home, if there isn't a fenced yard, walks are essential. They stay on whatever schedule you have developed for them at home and get lots of love. We are trustworthy to access your home with a garage code or key and leave a client's home better than we found it!!

About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.

“I only have great things to say about Linda! She has been incredibly helpful and has gone above and beyond. She is incredibly flexible, has come to walk my dogs at various hours of the day (late evenings sometimes too, which has been great!), and has been available on short notice as well. I have 3 dogs, of which, two have health issues. One has had recent ortho surgery and requires a lot of assistance/medication. The other has heart/blood pressure issues and requires medication/supervision as well. The third does not have health issues, but has behavioral issues and is very stand offish. Despite this, Linda has not only taken great care of them, but the dogs love her! She has also brought in my trash cans, my mail, and picks up dirty dog food bowls to soak in the sink while I am away. She always keeps me updated with detailed messages and photos. She is gentle and great with the animals. I trust her 100% and that is saying a lot as I am VERY particular when it comes to my babies!”

About: Hello! My name is Iyana, and I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around pets of all kinds. My family taught me how to properly care for animals and read their body language, which has helped me build calm, trusting relationships with them. I began pet sitting in high school while extended family traveled for vacations and work, and I’ve continued ever since. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds, and I’m comfortable with dog walking, daily visits, potty breaks, feeding, medication routines, litter care, and maintaining schedules. I also offer overnights, extended stays, and around-the-clock care when needed. I’m attentive, reliable, and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your pet while you’re away! Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m flexible, dependable, and organized, with strong time-management skills, so I’m able to consistently meet pets’ feeding, walking, medication, and check-in schedules. I provide attentive, structured care in both my home and clients’ homes by following each pet’s routine closely. I ensure timely feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and a clean, safe environment while giving pets consistent attention and comfort.

FAQs for Dog Walking - McKendree
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 13,868 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across McKendree. 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 McKendree. 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 McKendree.
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 McKendree. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
