“Jacob is great with our rambunctious girl. She knows exactly what to expect when he shows up and goes straight for the door. He also gives her meds and feeds her for us. She gets so excited to see him.”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took the time to visit before starting and was very communicative throughout the week. She is an animal lover at heart and her warmth and care shines through. Thank you so much 😊”
About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.
“Florian is the best! My pups love him and look forward to seeing him. It gives us peace of mind knowing someone like Florian is there to care for our pups while we are away! Highly recommended and pup approved!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with years of experience dog and cat sitting. I recently moved back to Crystal Lake from Nashville and would love to help care for your pets while you're away! I have three cats and two puppies of my own, so I’m super comfortable around animals of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just chilling on the couch, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My dogs love beach walks, hiking trails, and anything else adventurous and enriching-we’d love to bring your dog along! I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages so you know your pup is doing great! I am available Monday-Thursday after 1 pm and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day! My dogs love to go to the dog park every day and play frisbee so that is also part of our routine! I have a huge unfenced yard where my dogs love to play. I have two friendly puppies to keep your dog company! I have a crate if your dog needs to sleep there at night. Otherwise my puppies normally sleep in bed or on the couch!
“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 11 years and have also dog sat for others multiple times, including overnight stays in their homes.

About: As a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, I bring reliability, patience, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I know every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm an experienced dog owner and understand everything from energetic puppies that need structure and exercise to older dogs that benefit from a slower pace and extra patience. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their needs and stick closely to your routine. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the same way I'd want someone to care for my own. I'm retired from the U.S. Navy, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I build my day around their needs, whether that's morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or evening visits. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so regular walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care and make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved every visit. I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. During walks and visits, safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashing practices, pay close attention to each dog's comfort and behavior, and never rush their time outside. I clean up after pets, keep fresh water available, and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and shown it in the care I give. I started my pet care experience at 14 by watching family members' pets, as well as my mother's coworkers' animals. From there, I expanded into word-of-mouth clients from friends, and finally opened up a Rover account when I entered my 20s. I treat all pets I care for like my own, and have experience with several animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals, and even horses. I love learning and continue to expand my knowledge for caring for animals by researching and taking classes where I can. I currently work full time, which is Monday through Thursday from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. I am always willing to work things into my schedule, so please contact me to do so. I love when owners leave me notes regarding their pets care and little trick and habits that will help the pets feel more comfortable. I ensure safety and care to any pets I sit or walk.
About: Hi! My name is Riley, and I can’t wait to take care of your pet(s). My connection to animals goes back as long as I can remember—I’ve donated to/volunteered at my local animal shelter many times, am an active member of PETA, and have been a vegetarian for 11 years now. I have always had a love and passion for all animals, but unfortunately my family has never been able to get any due to the severity of my father’s allergies. Now that I’ve found platforms like Rover, however, I am thrilled that I will finally have the opportunity to spend time with furry friends on a daily basis! I can’t think of any job that I would enjoy more. Despite never having a dog or cat in my household growing up, I actually have a very decent amount of experience with them. I have taken care of my neighbor’s dogs on several occasions when they’ve gone on extended vacations, and I am often the designated pet-sitter when family friends need someone to help out. Additionally, since joining Rover and Wag, I have gained a ton of experience with dogs, and I also have plenty of experience with cats now that I’ve adopted two for myself. You can rest assured that I will take care of your pet as if it were my own and give it all the love and attention that it could possibly ever need. Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend(s)! I am currently self-employed and therefore have a pretty flexible schedule! Generally, afternoon/evening/night bookings work best for me since I do work late, but I can definitely make mornings work too. As my client, I want you to rest assured that both your pet(s) and your home are safe in my hands! I do my very best to make your animal feels calm, protected, and comfortable while they wait for you to return, while also making sure that they obey all of your household rules. I will be sure to keep them plenty occupied so that time flies by and they never feel sad, anxious, or lonely. At the same time, I will keep a close eye on them to make sure nothing and no one gets hurt!

What I offer: Tailored Care: Flexible scheduling to meet your pet's specific personality and energy level.

My flexible remote schedule allows me to give your pets frequent, consistent attention and companionship all week long. I maintain a clean, secure, and completely pet-friendly space with zero escape routes and plenty of cozy spots to relax.

Brian has been a life saver for us! We had a complicated family emergency and Brian has been an invaluable and professional asset during this period. Brian has been such a great friend to Charlie, our dog. Charlie is so very excited when Brian comes, and since he's a big dog, we've really appreciative how well he responds to Brian. Brian has also been 100 percent reliable, extremely communicative, and very flexible. He has even helped my elderly mother bring in packages and other things that have become difficult for her. He's just a good human being! Brian is great with dogs and also with people. We so appreciate his help over the past several months.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Prairie Grove is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per walk.

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 Prairie Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Prairie Grove after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Prairie Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
