About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working at Simple EJ’s 4PM to 10 PM every night, but Sundays. I also have class midday Monday-Thursday. Other than that, the rest of the time is for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I bring more than 10 years of professional dog training experience and am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — including large breeds, high-energy working dogs, and bully breeds. I spent 10 years as a professional dog trainer and have extensive hands-on experience with obedience, behavior, handling, and working dogs. I’ve competed with my own dogs in obedience, agility, and Schutzhund, and previously managed a kennel specializing in German Shepherds. I also have experience personally training dogs for police work. Because of my background, I’m confident handling strong, energetic, highly driven, or more challenging dogs that may not be a good fit for every sitter. I understand canine body language, proper handling, structure, and the importance of maintaining the routines and expectations your dog is accustomed to. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy dogs and want owners to feel confident that their dog is being cared for by someone with extensive real-world experience. I currently have a light work schedule so I’m looking to walk dogs during the day. Can also accommodate mornings or evenings if and when needed Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. With my professional training background, I’m experienced in reading canine body language, safely handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and recognizing potential issues before they become a problem. For walks, I use safe, controlled handling and follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for your dog in your home, I respect your space and work to keep their environment and schedule as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable with large, strong, high-energy, and working breeds and will always treat your dog as an individual.

About: I've had dogs growing up and I continue to love and care for my family and friend's pets. I have had experience with large dogs, small dogs, and puppies. I have experience with training and in Behavior training. During covid I fostered 6 dogs and found them loving homes and during that time I potty trained and taught simple commands while they were in my care. I am well versed in many care styles and if I don't know something I will always ask questions and do research on how to provide the best care. If your pet has any special needs I'm fit to help as well as I have had many different experiences. I can care for all sorts of animals such as turtles, lizards, bunnies, and hamsters. I'm a teacher so weekends and summer care is my specialty. I'm a pretty flexible person to work with so I'm able to make accommodations where they need to be made. I live in a condo with no yard, but I have access to one if needed. There is plenty of green space around and a walking trail right behind my home. I do not have any pets of my own and have an 18 year old son with down syndrome. He will be coming with me on visits when he is not busy with his own social calendar.

About: Hi! I’m Brianne, and I’m one of those people who gets genuinely excited every time I meet a new animal. 🐾 I love pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior snugglers and independent cats to the ones who insist on being your personal shadow. As a longtime pet owner myself, I know that every animal comes with their own personality, routine, and little quirks. My golden retriever, Walter, has given me plenty of experience with the adventures that come with dog ownership, and I also have a very needy cat who has made sure I’m equally well-trained in the feline department. 😂 I’m certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so safety is always a priority. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, routines, medications and care instructions, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat mine, with lots of patience, attention, affection, and probably way too many pictures. I can’t wait to meet your little (or not-so-little) cuties! 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work full-time from home (7a-4p), but I have flexibility for walks and visits throughout the day. I love to get outside whenever I can! I have a fenced in yard, where my puppy loves to run and play. My house is already puppy-proof, and ready for more fur friends!

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! 🐶❤️ In addition to having a dog of my own, I worked at a veterinary clinic where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of dog care. I helped with daily tasks, took dogs for walks and bathroom breaks, assisted with post-surgery care, and handled the many responsibilities involved in keeping dogs happy, healthy, and comfortable. This experience taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and gentle with every dog, especially when they need a little extra care. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and always ready to play, adventurous and love going on walks, or total cuddle bugs who just want extra affection. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home! I know how much your pup means to you because I know how special that bond is myself. I would treat your dog like part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while you're away. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby is in caring hands with someone who has real experience working with dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new best friend! 🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pup’s needs! 🐶💕 I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and daytime pet sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday potty break, some extra attention while you’re at work, or someone to keep them company during the day, I’m happy to help! I know life gets busy, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is getting plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Having worked at a veterinary clinic, I understand the importance of being attentive, following care instructions, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so I can provide care that works best for them. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect the space, follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep food and water bowls filled as directed, and ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is doing well while you’re away! I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention, and I will always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾❤️

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

Kristy is the absolute best. Her summary of her walks with our dog and the photos we get are 10/10. I feel so comfortable knowing our dog is in good hands when Kristy comes over. They have their little ritual of stopping at a treat stand in our neighborhood. There have been a few times where we’ve needed her help last minute or to come back in the same day since our schedules changed, and she’s always so willing to help us out if she can! We love Kristy!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Saint Charles

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Saint Charles is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 12,332 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saint Charles. 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 Saint Charles. 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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
