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. I only work part time. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2 pm - 6:15 pm and on Saturday 7:45 am - 2:30 pm. On Tuesday and Thursday I have class from 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm. With working and going to school these hours I am able to be with your animals all day! 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!

“I had some temporary health issues that is preventing me from walking my dog. My sister has used Rover in Des Moines and was pleased. I like Jeans bio and used her last week. She was timely keeping me informed when she was on her way and sending pics on the walk. My dog came home tired. I am pleased with the service and Jeans professional demeanor and love of animals. I will continue to use her.”

“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!”

“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!”


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!

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 free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a kid. I grew up in what my family and I would call a zoo! 3 large dogs 6+ cats. We’d take in strays get them fixed and find them homes, so the house was always loaded with furry friends. I’d help with feeding, grooming, and cleaning up pet waste. I’ve always had a love caring for animals of all kinds including hermit crabs, guinea pigs, geckos, even grooming and feeding horses at horse camp! It is a true passion of mine. Now as I’ve gotten older and childhood pets have passed, it’s just me, my mom, our Doberman Ruby and our 4 cats (all rescues) and we take Ruby on a walk 3-4 times a day together getting upwards of 15k steps and id love to do more! I am a new student at Black Hawk College in search of part time work to accommodate for my soon to be full-time school schedule upcoming in the fall. A typical day for me looks like morning coffee with my mom, walking our Doberman Ruby, going to the gym, & going for more walks lol. I am also a personal assistant caregiver for a friend of mine 6pm-8pm every other Friday & pick up evening shifts when needed. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment but may vary once securing another part-time gig and starting school I am very respectful and mindful when being in other peoples homes and tending to their animals who needs may vary. I am dedicated to your pets and ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I know I’ve mentioned how my mother and I care for our animals in our home but I do want to clarify that itll just be me when providing my services to your furbabies!
About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)

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!

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.

About: There has always been a pet in the house since I was the age of 10! As an adult now I still pet sit for my parents and care for their fur babies! I also watch over the pets of friends/family of various breeds and sizes! I have had pets that needed either oral medication or injections. I am a preschool teacher and have free availability for the summer. I have a clear schedule to take care of the most precious member of the family! I will treat your pet as if they were my own! Lots of love, care, and attention will be provided to ensure your pet has the best experience while owners are away. Whether it be an overnight or a check-in, your pet will feel loved! All animals are different and so are their demeanors. If there is anything that would be beneficial for the experience between me and your pet please let me know!
About: I have had dogs and loved them my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers and St Benards so the big ones definitely have my heart. I currently have two Border Collie X Australian Shepherd mixes that are incredibly friendly and smart. I started my pet professional career out in 2012 as a kennel technician at the Clinton Humane Society. I have worked for two different vet clinics as a vet technician giving medications, doing ivs, doing wound care, and being apart of surgery staff. I do some special handling dog training for anxious and semi aggressive dogs. My passion for special handling dogs started when I trained as a pet stylist. I got hands on experience helping stressed dogs relax and make situations better for them. I currently work in the Quad Cities as a pet stylist, working with both dogs and cats. I am very familiar and comfortable working with all kinds of animals be it furry, scaley or feathery. I do animal care for individual animals and also for hobby farms with chickens, ducks, goats, llamas and sheep. I am a very particular person when it comes to my own animals' care. Being very detailed oriented and handling your pets care is important to me. I think they deserve their care to be attentive and comfortable. Animals are not only something I am very passionate about but what I have revolved my life around. My days start around 5-5:30am. I typically take the dogs for a walk and have an hour to give them a bathroom break. I work as a pet stylist from 7-3:30. I can give bathroom breaks on my lunch break as needed. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I have a fenced in back/side yard where I monitor dogs so they can be off leash if they are able to be trusted. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid. I deep clean and sanitize everything frequently.

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.
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 Rock Island.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Rock Island. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
