“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”
“Sydney was fantastic! And it makes going away so much easier knowing that Mia is in good hands with someone who meets Mia as she is and is patient as Mia takes her time to warm up”
“The absolute BEST dog walker we've ever had!!! I have two crazy 12 year old Husky mixes with very different needs. One is high-energy, loves to run, get into trouble and chase anything with fur or feathers. The other is arthritic, vocal and very stubborn. Sarah has been able to keep them properly exercised, entertained and above all SAFE for two years :) We are so lucky to have found her--she is an absolute GEM! I would recommend her in a heartbeat, but after seeing the 90+ glowing reviews, she doesn't need it.”
“Leah is the best! She goes above and beyond for scooby and genuinely can tell she loves animals. She takes him on great walks and adores her from all the photos I see! 💖”
About: I love dogs with everything in me, and I have two of my own at home- a lab mix and a pitbull mix. I love dogs of all age, size, and breed, and would love to help out. I dog sat over the summer last year and it was one of the highlights of my summer. Just spending time with dogs is a gift! I work part time at a pizza place, and try to work as much as I can. But I would be available most days either in the morning or evening depending on my schedule. My home has a fenced in yard for our dog but I would prefer to not have other dogs at my home. My dog is usually great with other dogs but I don’t want to risk putting anyone in harm.

I cannot wait to give your dog the attention you want them to have while you’re away! I promise to take care of yours just like they are mine.

“I was in a last minute pinch and needed a dog walker when our sitter left early, and we were out of town. Kristen responded promptly and was very understanding and helpful! She was easy to communicate with, flexible, helpful, responsible, and trustworthy. We appreciate you!”
About: I have 20 years experience in house sitting and walking for multiple families and pets. Currently at home we have 6 year old Cocoa who is a blue healer. 15 year old cat named Diva and a 1 year old dwarf bunny, Midas. I am currently available for weekday and weekends walks and play. My weekend is available to all pets who need me. Overnight pet sitting is available weekends. I’m available on holidays as well. I will respect your home and pets as if it was my own.

“Vivian has been our dog walker for the past couple months and has been getting along well with our dog Maxx. She communicates well and responds promptly. Maxx seems to really enjoy his walks with her by the cute pictures we get from the walk. My dog Maxx can easily be scared and doesn't always like to stay out long, but Maxx seems very comfortable with Vivian since he walks around a lot and stays out long. You can tell she works well with dogs especially with her experience taking care of her own dogs. I love the rover cards we get and will definitely use Vivian again in the future. I highly recommend if you need a dog walker!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carol Stream
Max had a wonderful walk with Rebeca. She was even kind enough to help with his bootie during his walk. I don’t tighten it correct and it fell off. But she got it back on. I truly appreciate the pictures provided as well. Max seemed to be very comfortable with her. We will be booking Rebeca again.

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 Carol Stream. 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 Carol Stream.

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 Carol Stream. 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.
