About: Hello, my name is Eden. I grew up around both cats and dogs of different breeds and sizes, so I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. As a full-time college student, I’m used to staying organized and following schedules, which helps me provide consistent and reliable care. From walks and playtime to simple companionship, I’ll make sure your pet is well looked after and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, or overnight companionship, I’m committed to giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your home, keep everything clean, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. My priority is your pet’s safety and happiness, and I am committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care that you can count on.

About: Hi! My name is Helen. I enjoy spending time with animals, and taking care of them. I have experience looking after 2 dogs in the last couple of years - Charlie, the Labrador, for my brother; and Freya - a glorious mutt - for my friend. I've looked after them while their owners were away overnight, as well as hung out and taken them for a run in the park or the beach, just for fun. For pop-in visits, feeds and walks, I am available from 4.30am to 9pm. I can also stay at your home overnight, or take care of your pet in my home. I can look after the pet in my home, and I have 2 beautiful, friendly dogs (Poodle and Poodle-Shitzu cross) in my home for your pet to play with, if appropriate.

About: I’m always that person at the party who hangs out with the sweet dogs. I’ve always had pets in the house. When your pet is happy, I’m happy. I enjoy getting to know them! I’m currently on a very flexible schedule. Having a position like this brings me great joy. I’m also a flexible personality, and an excellent communicator. I am very thorough with communicating with you about your pets needs. I feel very comfortable being in the pets home. I can imagine it’s hard for an animal being in a new home with totally different and unfamiliar scents. I’d be happy to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Getting to know them, and what they enjoy, is one of the best parts about this position!

About: Hey friends! I graduated with an AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2019 from Muscatine, Iowa. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2020 and I absolutely love it. I have a large passion for animal care and know that they deserve as much love as people do. My family and friends have always had animals as well, so I’ve helped with them here and there. I’ve done quite a few jobs on here and it’s always been a great experience! I am CPR trained for both cats and dogs and know how to give various medications in various ways. I worked at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, IL for over 2 years and recently quit this year due to my CF, but I still keep up to date with my licensure! I can work with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, etc. Don’t worry, you can trust me with all of your fur babies!!! As previously mentioned, I quit working as a Vet Tech in 2023 do to hardships with my Cystic Fibrosis. I still do Rover jobs, so feel free to ask me if you need me! I had a baby earlier this year in April, so my schedule will depend on him and that of my hubbys! Other than that, just let me know and ask me! I don’t watch animals at my home due to our dog, Chief, being dog aggressive but I’m always happy to come to your home and visit your pets! I’m happy to follow a schedule or do whatever you need while at your home!

About: I have 14 years of dog handling experience. I have participated in my local 4-H dog care and training group for 10 years and local FFA ( Future Farmers of America) chapter for 4 years. Between 4-H and FFA, I have received many awards for my dedication for dog care. Within the years, I have interacted with different temperaments from reactive to calm. I am currently working towards a degree in Animal Health. I currently have an internship at a local farm. I have a weekly routine set up, that does not interfere with my internship; and your dog is able to have the best experience. Taking care of pets require routine, animals thrive with the stability a routine provides. Pets also need enrichment, which can be play sessions, clean areas, attention, and walks. A pet- proof home helps with safety and well- being of the pet.

About: From Puppy or kitten care to Adult/Senior Pet Care of all sizes; My knowledge as well as 20 years of personal experience around animals is more than sufficient to love and properly care for your animal as I do my own. I currently am a stay at home mom and had to step away from my job while my husband works a new scheduled shift. On a weekly basis throughout the day I maintain a home routine to be available daily. I have a fenced in yard for a safe retreat. As now with no animals that utilize it currently there is more than plenty of room. It’s a large enough space for playtime, exercise, and personal space for quiet time to lounge and relax.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Saint Jacob

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Saint Jacob is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 1,595 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saint Jacob. 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 Jacob. 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 Jacob 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 Jacob. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
