About: I am a reiki master. I love providing healing to animals. Hugs, belly rubs ,you name it!! I dont mind providing medicine also. I also prefer over communication. I can swing by on my lunch break for potty breaks. I also can coordinate walks. Weekend time frame I also dont mind dogs of smaller size over to stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for my 2 dogs. Very clean environment. I have a 11 yr old Australian shepherd and a 6 yr oldhound that are friendly.
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 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: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing lots of attention and playtime. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they receive the care, patience, and love they deserve. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule. I provide reliable, attentive care and make sure pets receive regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of affection. Whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or holidays, I’ll communicate with you and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions, keep a clean and safe environment, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise, and a calm, loving atmosphere. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Reta, and I look forward to meeting you and so many new animal friends. At home, we have our seven-year-old St. Bernard, Moose, and Tobi, an eight-year-old shepherd/husky/lab mix. Every now and then we have a foster or an overnight dog friend added to the mix. Volunteering with a dog rescue organization, I have experience with dogs of all ages and breeds with different temperaments, needs, and skills. Services provided: dog socialization, check-ins, feeding, walks, play time, general needs, overnight stays at yours or mine. I am an animal lover. I’m the person at the party hanging out with the dog. To able to do that professionally is the dream. Allow me to put your mind at ease whether it’s walking, feeding, checking in on your pet, or an overnight while you’re away. I work evenings in the restaurant industry so my schedule is flexible given time ahead. Any questions, please ask away! I work nights in the service industry so my schedule is fairly flexible with time given in advance. Daily check-ins, feedings or walks I am available daily until 4:00, if it is a work day. Pet sitting overnight or for extended stays, I would make proper arrangements. If boarding, I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs at home. When staying over, all animals eat from different bowls, and are fed separate from fosters or guests. We work on our manners and listening, as well as walk and play. Crated by request. Dogs can be kept separate if needed. If checking in, we would have covered basics and expectations during our meet and greet. Your space and your home, I treat with the utmost respect. Enter quietly, greet the pet, and proceed with walks, feeding, etc. I ask that we lay out all required services, copies of pet vaccines, and emergency contact information ahead of time.

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’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and knowledgeable to keep your pet content, safe, and occupied, and to keep your mind at ease while you’re away, look no further! I will house sit for or check in on any type of animal! I have taken care of all kinds of pets including rats, reptiles, tarantulas, ferrets, cats, dogs, and more since a teen. I have experience with volunteering at cat shelters, administering medications, first aid, and rescues. I am first aid certified which also teaches how to perform CPR on dogs. This is my second year pet sitting on the Rover app. I will also make sure any pet messes and toys are tidied before you arrive home every time! ***If you need a sitter for a small animal please book as a cat and then specify in your message to me the species and specific care needs. I have weekend and evening availability, so I can watch your beloved pets while you go on a weekend getaway! I can also do stop ins before 8 am, mid day, and after 4 during the week for feedings and walks. I can do pick ups, drop offs, and overnights weekends, evenings, and holidays. I have a unfenced yard where I will walk your pups. I am also close to parks and the river where I can take them to play. I have both medium and large sized crates, and plenty of extra pet supplies. I will also brush and bathe your babies and administer medications as needed. I don’t mind if your dog doesn’t like other animals and will take special care when walking in the neighborhood. Your pets will be in good hands!

About: Growing up around dogs of all sizes and ages, dogs with disorders such as anxiety or epilepsy, and dogs that just love to eat any and everything, I've learned how to handle almost any tough situation. I also have pervious experience working as a cashier at a pet store. I am a full-time student with a part time job. The good news? Most of my afternoons are available to be spent with your furry friends! I will spend a good portion of the time playing with your furry friends and helping them get all their wiggles out! If you have a fenced in yard we'll probably spend a lot of time outside (weather permitting!). I will of course ensure your friends have plenty of water, are fed on schedule, and take any medications they need.

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals my whole life and would love to spend time with yours! I regularly house sit and do overnight stays for local families and take care of their pets while they’re away. While I can’t have other pets in my home, I am able to stay in yours so that your pets are comfortable and can stay in their routine. I work full time during the day but am able to stay overnight to provide morning and evening care. I understand that pets are family and take extra care to ensure their safety and comfort. I make sure they feel loved and get ample attention. Your home will be respected and taken care of, and I always clean up after myself.
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: My first formal pet sitting experience was taking out and playing with my uncle’s black lab puppy after school, my senior year of high school. Then, that same year I pet my aunt’s 2 cats in 2016. During the pandemic, for over a year, I stayed at my friend’s house while she was away at work. I would take her precious pup Lala out for walks, give Lala and her cat-sister Sophia their meds with breakfast, and treat them like the princesses they are. I recently left law school, so my availability is completely free until I find a full-time job! I would love to set your mind at ease by visiting your home as often as you’d like! I would care for my clients’ pets the same way I care for my cat-son, Remy. I give him all the attention he desires, and I do the less-than-desireable things (like washing his litterbox monthly, clipping his nails, and brushing his teeth) with a smile because I know it’s what’s best for him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Pekin on Rover is $21.09 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 878 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.
