“Mary has been amazing walking my dog everyday while I'm at work. Unfortunately I was laid off so I won't need a dog walker, but if you can get Mary to be yours she will be amazing!”
“Julia has walked our excited beagle Bella for the last week as we’ve adjusted to being new parents and she’s been perfect- shows up on time every day, takes Bella for a 60 minute walk in the freezing cold, and provides thorough reports afterwards! Super professional and prompt, we couldn’t be happier and look forward to continuing to use her services!”
About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!
“Chris was great & attentive. He showed care for my furry friend’s limitations after surgery, and took adorable photos throughout the walk! My dog returned home noticeably happy.”
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.

They are gems and we are so lucky to have we found them!!”

Julia has been great with our dog Bumi. We were a little nervous because he hasn't walked with anyone outside the family in a couple of years (he refused to leave the house), but he has been going out with her. And she helps him get going if he's a little hesitant in the beginning. We get pictures and an update on how we did after every walk. We highly recommend Julia!
Abby is absolutely wonderful! My large energetic dog is blind and doesnt have the best manners! My dog pulls on leash and is a wild child! Abby is so kind, has the patience of a saint, and is dependable! If your on the fence, dont be, your pets will be in great hands!
Greg was awesome with the dogs\! He was very flexible with our schedule, and the dogs absolutely loved him—especially Zion, who usually doesn’t like anyone\! 😂 That says a lot. Thank you, Greg, for being so patient, kind, and great with them. We really appreciate you
Matthew has been awesome with my pups! He walks them every weekday like clockwork, and I never have to worry because he’s DEPENDABLE. The highlight of my workday is getting THE BEST PICS he sends—they always brighten my day. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies, Matthew. We really appreciate everything you do!
Brijana was an absolute rock star with our pets. With twice-a-day visits, Brijana walked, fed, played with, and – most importantly – cared for our girls. She was attentive to their needs and keep us updated all throughout. We are so happy to have trusted both our pup and cat with Brijana. We will absolutely call on her services again - and you should too!
Lindsey has been amazing with my 2-year-old pup, Max, who just started walking with her. She goes above and beyond—sending about 10 photos and videos each visit that truly show how much time, care, and activity she gives. She even thoughtfully brought her dog, Paco, to help socialize Max, which made such a positive difference. I’ve had other walkers before, but Lindsey stands out for her attention to detail, genuine care, and the way she treats Max like her own. I highly recommend her to any dog parent.

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 Barrington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
