About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life! I’ve had dogs, cats, a bunny and a hedgehog! I’ve worked for an independent pet sitter before! I’ve taken a couple training classes with my own fur babies so I know a little bit about training. I’ve helped nurse kittens as well! I work M-F 8am-5/6pm & have weekends off. I do sometimes change my work schedule around for pet visits so I charge a cancellation fee for cancellations that are 2 days before. My own pets are kenneled throughout the day when no one is home. They go outside regularly about every 2 hours when someone is home. I feed them early morning & when I get home from work. We work through our training exercises daily! I take care of my clients pets however they have asked me to and treat them as if they are my own fur babies! Your pets will know nothing but love & fun when I’m with them!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

About: I've had my own cats for almost 6 years, I've volunteered at the Belleville Area Humane Society for around 4 months, and I do occasional dogsitting and housesitting for family friends when needed. I am currently going to college and will be occupied with classes Mondays-Thursdays in the mid afternoons. Aside from that, I will be doing work studies for my degree so I will let you know when I can what my schedule will be. I will be completely free on weekends aside from outside events. I appreciate detailed instructions on any specifics needed when caring for your pets, such as medications, feeding times, bathroom breaks, regular walks, or any other schedule they need.

About: For years my neighbors have relied on me to take care of their four dogs when they are away for weekend trips or even for trips that last over 2 months. Each one had their own personality and I was able to adapt to it and get along with them well. Over the years I have also had my own pets and have taken care of others. I have taken care of animals from cats, snakes, guinea pigs and most of all dogs. I am patient and contempt with taking care of dogs. In all, I've had a lot of experience with animals! I adore animals all the like and have had the best experiences taking care of lovely pets. I'm a part time worker at a different job which often schedules me around 5 pm and until close which is at 10:30 pm. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I have school in the morning from 8 am to 11 am. Fridays and Sundays I am completely free. That leaves me plenty of time in the day during the week and weekends to check on your fur babies. I will be able to drop in later at night at around 9:30-11 p.m. If ever in emergencies, I have a fenced yard that is very very roomy for a dog who loves to run around and play outside. I am more than happy to drop into the clients home and even help clean and pick up after the place for comfortable living for their fur baby. I don't make messes and will no matter what pick up after myself. I will always address to the client in emergencies.

Pet care is something I want to make a full time career. I genuinely enjoy working with animals, building trust with pets and owners, and being part of their daily routine.

About: I’ve been a go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and I truly love spending time with animals. Whether it's going on walks, keeping pets company while their people are away, or sticking to a strict feeding schedule—I bring a lot of patience, care, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is how present and observant I am. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, from playful pups to shy cats, and adjust my care style to make them feel safe and happy. I’m also highly reliable and communicative, so pet parents can feel totally at ease knowing their furry family member is in good hands. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I’m great at managing my time and can easily build pet care into my routine—whether that’s morning feedings, afternoon playtime, or evening walks. Since I’m saving up to adopt a pet of my own, I’m excited to dedicate consistent time and energy into caring for yours! I always plan ahead to make sure I’m fully present during visits and can give pets my full attention—your pet’s comfort and routine will always be a priority for me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort always come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs or boundaries before visits begin. I also make sure to keep feeding, walking, and medication schedules consistent to reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect—cleaning up after pets, following all house rules, and making sure doors, crates, and gates are secure at all times. I send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-safe, and calm—free of hazards, with cozy spots for rest and plenty of time for play and affection. Building trust with both pets and owners matters deeply to me, and I work hard to ensure you feel confident and worry-free when you leave your pet in my care.

About: Hi! I’m Chelsea, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a year and a half old mix named Jake, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, training, and making sure dogs get the physical and mental enrichment they need. I take pet care seriously and always aim to create a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets feel comfortable. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing and keeping them company. My background working in behavioral health has also given me a lot of patience, awareness, and the ability to stay calm in different situations—skills that translate really well to working with animals. When your pet is with me, you can expect: • Lots of attention and supervision • Updates and photos while you’re away • Respect for your pet’s routine and training • A calm and caring environment I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re gone. My availability is currently open and I will keep my Rover calendar updated. I will always make sure to communicate clearly about availability before confirming bookings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision while you’re away. I respect my clients’ homes and always keep things clean, provide regular updates and photos, and communicate promptly if anything comes up.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 2 years. As a military member, I’ve often helped fellow military friends and counterparts care for their pets while they were away or working long hours. I currently have two rescue dogs. One terrier mix and a chihuahua, and they are my all. I have also had plenty of pets my whole life. My home was always full of pets, especially beagles. I had 5 beagles growing up and a Lab mix, it was always fun spending time with them and growing up around them <3 Spending time with animals genuinely makes me happy, and I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. I’m also fully bilingual and fluent in both English and Spanish. I am currently in the military, so my schedule may vary each week. However, I usually have more than 12 days off per month, giving me plenty of flexibility and time to provide dependable and caring pet services. I am also available to provide services inside SCOTT AFB. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get exercise, potty breaks, fresh water if needed, and plenty of attention and care. For drop-in visits, I can feed pets, refresh water bowls, provide potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and make sure everything is clean and secure before leaving. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also enjoy sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease while they are away.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday, so im available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life from cats to dogs to toads, I love them all. Over the years I have always had indoor cats and dogs in my care that have ranged in age from newborn to senior, energetic to unwell and everything in between. When I’m not caring for my pets or others, I’m a work from home artist and volunteer at the humane society as a foster and dog walker. Take comforting in knowing I would treat your best friend right. Currently I work from home as an artist (predominantly pet portraits) and can set my own schedule leaving me with ample availability for bit time or day and days throughout the week. I have a three acre yard with a large fenced in area, my dogs are extremely friendly and there is lake access that my own dogs use for swimming very often

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our dog walker! From day one, she has been reliable, caring, professional, and truly treats our dog like family. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my dog is in such loving and capable hands. She is always punctual, communicates well, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and that passion shines through in everything she does. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate to care for your pet, I highly recommend her services.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Shiloh

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Shiloh is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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 2,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shiloh. 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 Shiloh. 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 Shiloh 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 Shiloh. 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.
