About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and needs! I also have experience caring for felines and chinchillas! I am experienced in administering medications! I currently work from home but am available for short potty breaks in the Lombard area! Also available nights and weekends! I can also do house sitting! I have worked with people who have fenced in back yards and people who do not and utilize leads and am comfortable with either. I like to watch potty breaks, even if the yard is fenced in to making sure nothing is ingested outside!
About: I have taken care of various animals since I was 16, ranging from chickens, roosters and parakeets, to hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I have helped birth and take care of newborn puppies. I have open availability for either in-home care or boarding during the week and on Saturdays. I am available morning, day and night for either full care and company, or just a daily walk. I will take care of your pet or pets as if they were at home, whether they're actually at home, or in my own home.
“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”
“Velvet is AWESOME. Hugo loves her. She is on time, kind and affectionate to my furry. Thank you again and love the pesto gift she left for me. I would surely want you to look after Hugo on my next trip”
“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”
About: I understand how difficult leaving your pet with someone else can be! They are, after all part of our family! I’ve had pets all my life, from goldfish to parakeets, guinea pigs to bunnies, cats and of dogs from big to small, and special needs rescues. I have experience in dog walking, overnight stays, administering medications, seniors, and special needs pets. I can assure you that I will not only complete any and all tasks you request of me, I will also do them with love, patience, and above all, safety. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as comfortable, safe, and loved as my own! I will pay close attention to your instructions and keep your pet on its routine to ensure as little stress as possible while you are away. I am big on communicating, sending pictures and videos, and making sure YOU are as stress free as I intend your pets to be! 😌 I am also highly aware of how worrisome leaving the care of your home to someone is and can assure you I am respectful in each and every home I stay in, keeping it tidy and cared for as per your instructions. Besides adoring animals, I am passionate about my family, the outdoors, music and working on growing my other businesses. I was the owner of a small mani/pedi business and boutique in downtown Hinsdale, IL for 25 yrs.during which time I also studied and offered foot reflexology. It was also during this time that I first started caring for clients pets and homes while they traveled. Unfortunately due to health issues and the onset of Co-Vid, I was forced to close my shop. I do however continue foot reflexology massage for die hard clients in their homes today! My love for creativity also lives on in a hobby turned hopeful business of painting small pieces of furniture. A particular niche of end tables turned into pet beds is becoming my new favorite 🤩. I would love to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet! It is an essential part of the process for first time clients, as forming a bond with your pet and establishing a good fit for everyone is a top priority! I currently work part-time both from home and out of clients homes as described above, and have flexible hours. Traveling more than 8 miles from my home base of Villa Park for dog walks and drop ins are a bit more tricky, but overnights are not a problem for a distance up to 15 miles. While I currently am not able to board animals at my home, a good portion of my business is caring for them in yours. They are treated with patience and compassion, and receive all the love and attention that I give my own with safety being my number one concern. I will look after your home and be happy to help out with any extra needs you may have (water plants, check mail, take out garbage, etc.)

About: I love the quote by Mark Twain: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” That’s exactly how I feel about pet sitting.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Addison
Sara was absolutely fantastic from meet & greet to walking our two Dobermans while we were on a day trip. Our older Doberman is a rescue and does not always warm up to new people. He loved Sara immediately! Sara also handled our jump-y Goose, who is technically an adult but all puppy energy. Would highly recommend Sara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Addison on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Addison. 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 Addison.

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 Addison. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
