“Tia was amazing! Super responsive to text which was great and took amazing care of our dog! Our dog loved her and looking forward to using her in the future for walking or dog sitting”
“We can’t recommend Luke highly enough. He came to meet us and our dog the afternoon before the first dog walk. Luke asked important questions and we provided information about our dog and our rig. He was flexible in scheduling another care time. Luke sent pictures from the walks and played with Zelda after each walk. Other dog owners in our group were equally impressed.”

About: I have worked in animal care for close to four years now. I worked in an animal shelter for two years and I am now on my second year of working at a vet clinic. I have worked with all sorts of animals with all different types of needs! I am currently quite flexible. Only days that are weird for me are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday mornings. I also fully get that certain meds are needed at certain times! I will completely respect your home and take the best of care of your fur baby! Any information and instructions I’m sent will be followed to a tee!

About: What sets me apart from others? I managed a humane society and owned a dog transportation business. I have 2 girl dogs that are 11 and 3 yrs. I have always had dogs and pets. I’ve sat for friends and family a lot. I put my dogs through training so I know basic commands and how to interact with dogs well. Also I can handle dogs in unexpected situations in a safe and careful manner. I think caring for dogs is fun and relaxing. I started taking care of dogs when I was 3 and have almost always had one or more dogs. My dogs love other dogs. I will walk, play fetch, and jog with dogs. I love meeting all kinds of animals and dogs and have no problem cleaning up after them and following any type of schedule they might be on. We live in a great area for walking dogs. I have 10 years of professional dog walking and pet sitting experience. I have taken care of pets with many different needs. I had my own dog transporting business for a year but I got tired of being on the road. I managed at a humane society for 2 years as well. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with pets. I have a flexible schedule. I usually have 3 days off a week and have lunch breaks on the days that I do work. I have 2 playful, friendly pups. I also have lived with cats most of my life. I understand the dynamic of a multi pet household.
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am a full-time college student with a busy schedule, but most of the time, I am free after 2 pm from Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Tuesdays and Thursdays I can do at 10:00 AM. And weekends I am free. Currently not working at the moment so don't hesitate to reach out! 😀 I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
About: I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, routines, and energy levels from energetic pups who love to play and explore to laid-back dogs and independent or cuddly cats who prefer a quieter environment. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can count on! Flexible schedule, willing and able to provide check ins, pickup/drop off. I am aware every animal lover has different needs, I can assure great communication and updates as needed. I personally love to go on hikes and long walks. Open large yard ideal for dogs who love to play ball and frisbee. Family friendly dogs are encouraged to stay. Our home does have small children and 2 friendly dogs.
About: I've been taking care of dogs fairly recently, my mom owns a malamute who she had to train herself now he's the most well behaved boy- my mom's been giving me insight for a year or so back when I had a reactive pitbull terrier and had been able to mellow the terrier out till her passing. That terrier helped me believe with the proper equipment and patients, dogs and cats are amazing companions As for cats I haven't had much interactions with just yet but I'm willing to befriend and get to know your cat(s) :D Currently unemployed for now, however I am in school but if changes happen I'll give that heads up and make changes to this profile. But for now I check in on your cat(s) or dog(s) whenever during the weekdays up until 6pm Safety and comfortabality is what will come first for your cat or dog. Need your dog(s) or cat(s) checked up, watered, fed, or taken out for a bathroom break? I'll be on the way!

Millie loves her walks with Michelle- how do I know- because I routinely get photos of Millie looking out the window waiting for Michelle to come walk her :) We appreciate knowing that Millie gets some attention and a walk while we're away at work during the day and I love seeing all the photos of the walks! Thanks Michelle!
Jayde is absolutely amazing with my dogs, and I completely trust her with my fur babies. Knowing that my dogs are in such caring, loving, and capable hands gives me so much peace of mind.

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 Rock Island. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
