“Really happy to find a person that’s comfortable with a big, strong, and willful dog! Makes it easier to leave for work knowing that Michelle will give Maddie great care on her walks!”
“Tia is GREAT! I booked with her when my normal reoccurring walker had to take some time off. She came early before the walk and stayed late to make sure my dog was doing well. She leaves good notes about the walks and communicates very well. I would HIGHLY recommend booking walks with Tia!”
“I landed in the ER and needed someone to walk my dog while I was in the hospital because my 92 yr old mother couldn't do it. I found Luke, who actually lived very close to my home. Luke is a very friendly, polite, courteous, and caring person who loves dogs. He took excellent care of my 15 yr old dog while I was in the hospital for a couple days and for two days after, which really helped me a LOT. Luke loves animals and I never worried about my dog while he was in Luke's care. Thanks so much Luke for all you did!”
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: I have experience with more difficult dogs and I am more than willing to help calm their nerves and take the extra time with them. I can do basic training animals but am most experienced in leash training. I am fear free certified and understand dog body language. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant for over a year before my current job working as a veterinary assistant at Animal Family Veterinary Care Center. I am currently working and doing school. My schedule can vary from day to day working a variety of hours. If given at least two weeks notice I am more than happy to take a day off if needed! I am more than happy to take care of your animal in your home! I am willing to do whatever you would prefer to keep your dog comfortable and happy!
About: Experienced dog owner for 25 years, offering dependable care for busy pet parents. I provide extra walks, attention, and love so your furry friend stays happy. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m newly retired and have a very flexible schedule. I can offer up to three walks a day—morning, midday, and early evening—and I typically avoid late‑night hours. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and can walk your dog alongside my friendly 18.5‑lb Aussie Doodle, or give your furry friend my full attention if that’s a better fit. I care for my own dog with a mix of daily exercise, enrichment, and fun. She gets a long walk every day—usually a couple of miles—and plenty of yard play. When the weather cooperates, we explore the riverfront or Duck Creek trails. She’s an energetic 18.5‑lb Aussiedoodle, so we add ball‑chasing, simple training games, and confidence‑building activities like hoop jumps. I always keep her leashed for safety.
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.

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: As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a personalized and compassionate approach tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in puppy training, I help young dogs build essential habits.

Because I’m here throughout the day, I can easily adjust to each pet’s unique schedule and needs, whether it’s for feeding, exercise, or a quiet moment to relax. When pets are in my home, I provide a cozy, secure space where they’re treated like family. They have access to safe, pet-friendly areas for playing, resting, and exploring, along with daily exercise tailored to their energy level.

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. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust completely to care for my pups. She truly treats them like her own, and I couldn’t recommend her more!

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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
