About: Hello, my name is Brianna and I love animals! I worked at Petsmart for six years and have always had dogs in my home. I think dogs need love, attention, social situations, and lots of exercise to truly thrive. I had my own Pomeranian /poodle mix dog named Diesel for 10 years that I absolutely adored before his recent passing. I have met and worked with many types of dogs throughout my life. I currently have a very open schedule as I am between work contracts for a couple months. I have a lot of time to help care for your buddy! I have taken care of my own dog for all ten years of his life. I loved to cuddle with him and play with him. I love all dogs and love to see them happy.

About: Hi, I am Belle! I have always had a love for animals. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur-baby especially with a stranger. I love & treat my clients’ pets as my own. I have a bachelor's degree in animal behavior. I have taken various animal classes such as animal enrichment, welfare, cognition, dog/cat behavior, and positive reinforcement training classes. I am experienced with dog & cat behavior. I worked at a dog & cat boarding facility/doggy daycare. I interned at the SPCA Serving Erie County with their behavior department working with the dogs & cats. I worked with many fearful, reactive, and under socialized dogs. I also worked with under socialized/fearful cats & kittens. I am experienced in administering medications. I mostly pet sit dogs & cats but I have cared for fish, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, chickens, and would be open to other species! I have 5 purrfect cats of my own at home! WEEKLY VISITS & WALKS: I am currently accepting new clients in need of weekly drop-in visits or dog walks. I have availability Monday-Friday. MY SCHEDULE: I work a part time job that is very flexible with my pet sitting schedule. This allows me to work shorter shifts when I am pet sitting. Drop in visits and walks are scheduled within a 2 hour time frame determined between myself and the client unless a pet requires medication at a specific time. HOUSE SITTING: Basic House Sit: (Non-Constant Daytime Care + Overnights) Rate: $100 per day A “Basic House Sit” includes overnight care and non-constant daytime care. I will spend a minimum of 8 hours overnight but typically I will be with your pets for 10-12 hours. Most days I will need to leave for 6-9 hours during the day. Dogs will never be left for longer than 8 consecutive hours. I guarantee that I will be at your house at the agreed upon times to feed your pets breakfast & dinner. If your pet(s) cannot be left alone for up to 8 consecutive hours there will be additional fees. DROP-IN VISITS 30 minute visit - $30 1 hour visit - $45 DOG WALKS 30 minute walk - $30 + $5 each additional dog 1 hour walk - $45 + $5 each additional dog - Walks may be shortened and finished as drop in visits in severe weather conditions determined by myself. CONSTANT CARE 3 or more consecutive hours: $20 per hour Rover does not have an option to request visits longer than 1 hour. To request hourly care please send a “drop in visit” request and message me to discuss details. Prior to booking new clients I require a meet & greet with you and your pets in your home. This will allow us to determine if we will be a good match for each other.

About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.

About: My biggest concern while I’m away on vacation is “how are my dogs doing?” They are like my children. I have used Rover in the past to watch my dogs and home while I’m on vacation. I want to be that trustworthy person for someone else. I have ALWAYS been an animal lover! I have rescued dogs, I’ve fostered dogs and watched dogs for friends and family. I have two Golden Retrievers at home who love to have company come over and play in the fenced in backyard. I am looking forward to taking care of your Furbaby like they are my own I work Full-time but am able to leave for lunch to take care of any pets needs during the day. Right now I go home everyday on lunch and spend time with my dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 Golden Retrievers who love to have company! At this time, if I watch your dog in my home, he/she would need to be crated while I’m at work. They would be crated no longer than 4 hours unless I make other arrangements with my job, where I could come home more frequently.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years growing up as I had family pets and other families pets. As a patient care assistant and nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable providing individualized care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll treat them like family. I work part-time while attending school, which allows me flexibility for pet care. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I communicate regularly with pet owners and can provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and strive to create a calm, positive environment. As someone with healthcare experience, I understand the importance of being observant, dependable, and prepared for unexpected situations.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up so I know basic care and would like to be able to do more and help others who need it! I work part time, but right now my schedule is up in the air. I am ready and able to make just about anything work! I am unable to house any dogs as I live in a campus setting. However, I am happy to walk them in a safe area, cuddle with them, and play with them!

About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

I have taken care of many different types of animals including birds, cats, dogs (big and small), bunnies, guinea pigs, lizards, chinchillas, squirrels, fish, and more!

I can care for any type of animal, small, big, feathered, scaled, furry, etc.! I am extremely careful when working in other peoples' homes, I know how nerve-racking it can be! I will care for each and every animal to the best of my abilities, making sure every animal receives the love and care they deserve. When I am watching your animals, you don't have to worry! I can promise they will be in the best hands possible!

About: I’ve taken care of a couple different dogs for around three to four years now doing basic care takings needs such as playing, walking, and feeding. I have also had a Shih tzu of my own for 3 years now. I work part time and I am a full time student. My summer schedule has classes and work several days of the week. I’m generally free most mornings and after 9pm on days I work. I let my dog walk around our home freely. However in our backyard I have a leash for him so he can walk around while not being able to run off! When I am dog watching when I am away I would crate the dog if im gone for several hours and let them roam if its for a short amount of time.

About: I have experience taking care of pets, as I have owned a dog myself. I've worked in animal care most of my career, working for institutions such as The Buffalo Zoo, Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, Pet Supplies Plus, dog kennels, etc. I love being around animals, and intend to do so the rest of my life! I'm currently working as a personal trainer at Catalyst Fitness, so I am needed when clients have training sessions. However, this will never extend for more than a few hours (at most maybe 4-5) at a time. So even if I need to go to a training session(s), I can be right back to take care of the animals afterwards! I can constantly provide your pets with enrichment. Whether that be through walking, playing, or just general outside time. I love nature/the environment, so I love getting outdoors. So if that's what your pets enjoy I can absolutely provide! However, I realize animals have a wide spectrum of emotions and preferences, so I am very flexible to provide whatever is best for your pets!

About: Dog owner for 18+ years, trained as puppies and love to walk and play! Owner of a sweet, playful large breed dog who is great with kids and other dogs. She loves to make new friends! Let me take care of your precious pet while you're unable to. Love to go for walks and can accommodate overnight. Can also administer meds if needed. Car rides available to pets who love the wind in their face! (Portable steps used for ingress/egress). I will accommodate a single dog at a time, or multiple dogs from the same household. Can work with puppies in an open area or crate training. I would love to get to know and establish a routine with your pet, or just an occasional visit as needed. Can't wait to meet your furry friends! Daily time with my dog is a must, so I know how important it is that your pet is given the attention he or she deserves. I'm mostly available in the afternoon after work and weekends, with occasional extended availability. I have an open yard with a cable/pulley so dogs can run freely without being too constrained. Inside we use gates to limit what our furry friends can get into while providing the majority of the house to roam. Large crate is available for private time and soft blankets for a place to relax!

About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.

About: If you have decided to keep your pets at home, where they are most comfortable, hire a person who will shower them with love and keep them safe. I'm retired from banking and loving the simple life, enjoying what I truly love.... caring for pets. Besides caring for my own pets, home, and family. I am available all days and will do my best to meet your needs. My three precious furbabbies-a very funny cat-Miss Kitty and two Pomskys-Sheeba & Earl-are my pride and joy. My Pomskys are escape artists which makes me hyper-aware. I understand the importance of protecting them and ensuring their safety. I love all fur babies with all my heart and treat them like children. I love to walk my dogs along the Niagara Falls Gorge trail and ArtPark in Lewiston. I have a bike trailer and take my dog and cat for rides.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pekin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Pekin on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 907 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pekin. 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 Pekin. 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 Pekin.

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 Pekin. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
