“It’s our first time having someone walk our 5 months old puppy, and Nicole was super nice, communicative and respectful to our puppy ( we had very bad experience with the dog care in Schaumburg). Nicole was above and beyond and our puppy was very happy with her, that’s everything we wanted.”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with German Shepards my whole life and have experience with training and walking them. I also have 7 years experience with in home pet/house sitting dogs of all sizes, from Jack Russel Terriers to Saint Bernard's. I find that keeping the pet in their own home helps with the stress of their owners being away. I have no problem administering medication as I’ve done that before. Every dog I take care of immediately becomes family! I am currently an online college student that works part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! Walking dogs keeps me active and overall spending time with fur babies keeps my spirits high! I have no issues following any type of schedule your fur babies are on! Rain or shine I always stand outside with the pups whenever I let them out to go potty. I take weather/heat advisories into account before we go on walks and I always bring water for the doggies on walks. Whether they’re a bedtime cuddler or crate trained, I am flexible and will make sure to fit your fur babies needs.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and I’m comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I can help with walks, feeding, and making sure your dog is safe and well taken care of. I’m responsible, patient, and I will follow your instructions closely. I can also send updates if needed. I’m available and flexible with my schedule. 🐾🐕🦺❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m available most of the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can also accept last-minute bookings when needed. I make sure pets are always safe and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and any routines the dog is used to. I keep a clean and calm environment and always make sure doors and gates are secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything as I found it. I pay attention to the dog’s behavior and needs, and I can send updates if requested so owners feel at ease.
About: My boyfriend and I love dogs. We have been looking into getting one but figured we would wait just a little. We both have grown up around dogs and many of our friends ask if we could dog sit their dogs. Which we love. We live in a 2 bedroom spacious house with a big backyard. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks and we have a large park with trails right at the end of the block which is perfect for dogs also. We love to spend time outside. We will make your dog feel loved and like they are our own. We would not be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, which is perfect for letting the dog out when needed.
About: My experience with dogs and their care is extensive. I have several friends who call on me when they have to be away. I have stayed in their homes with the dogs who are more comfortable in their own environment. I am confident in what these families' would say about my care. I have cared for disabled dogs and am comfortable giving medications. My personal hobby is horse backing riding where I have learned a lot about reading animals. Each animal is unique and loved by their family. It is this belief in family member which is my business moto. Under my care your pet will be loved, protected and exercised while your away. In choosing me, I am certain that I will exceed your expectations. Thank you for reviewing my profile and I look forward to hearing from you. Caring for your pets basic needs will be my top priority. Together with my husband and my 18 year old daughter, we can assure plenty of walks and exercise will be provided throughout the day. Of course there will be snuggle couch time, if that is what your pet needs. We live in a "lived in Home" that is filled with love. My whole family loves dogs and enjoys playing with them. The yard is unfenced and we leash walk if required. I am a retired active grandmother that truly enjoys spending my days with dogs. Your pet will be treated like family with my loving family. We offer a fenced yard for play time and several poddy breaks throughout the day. Your pet will be fed, exercised and get peaceful rest.
About: Growing up, I had two small dogs of my own who have moved on to puppy heaven. To fill the gap in my heart, I began watching my neighbors and cousins dogs both big and small. I have experience with shitzhus, chihuahuas, pitbulls, labs, akitas, dobermans, and more. I believe that dog behaviors are a product of their environment, I am dedicated to making your furbaby feel comfortable and relaxed while I take care of them. Since I don’t have a dog of my own quite yet, I have adopted three amazing cats! My three furbabies are my entire life. I am a self-proclaimed cat mind reader and can tell when your kitty wants to play or wants there own personal space. Additionally, I can read cat behaviors well as I identified a disease in my own cat - FIP. I cured my cat by daily injecting it with medication subcutaneously. I am grateful everyday he is healthy, happy, and alive. I would be comfortable administering medication to your furbaby, as I know how stressful it can be leaving them alone. I would love to get to know and love your kitties! Additionally, last but not least, I am a fish lover! I am a freshwater aquarium keeper and have experience maintaining 40+gallon tanks with live plants. I would be happy to take care of, feed, and even clean your fish tanks. I currently work remotely Monday-Friday from 9-5PM. I am available before or after, on weekends, or even throughout the days on my lunch breaks. I am flexible throughout the day. I treat my clients home’s as I would want someone to treat mine. I also understand that their pet is an equal homeowner and may take some time to adjust to me! I respect pets boundaries and can read their behaviors well so that they are the most comfortable and happy.
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!
“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! 💖”
“Lana was amazing with our dog Atlas. She kept me updated during the walk sending texts and a video. It made me feel good that our dog had such great care. Lana is fun and reliable!”
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. They get all my love and attention while in my care. I enjoy playing and teaching them new things.
About: I trained my German Shepherd, Dakota, and taught him all 25 of the tricks that he knows! I have trained and lived with that 80lb pup with behavioral issues, so I am confident even with the biggest, craziest dogs! I have a soft spot for big dogs because of Dakota, but I also grew up with 3 Chihuahua mixes and a Border Collie which cemented my love for dogs of all sizes and temperaments! During the school year, I have college classes Monday through Thursday every week, but they are spread out if I needed to let any dogs out or take them for brisk walks in between! On the weekends, I don’t ever have a strict schedule. In the summer, my availability varies moreso by week! I let the animals warm up to me first before petting, picking up, or feeding, as to keep them as comfortable as possible. I love playing with cats and dogs indoors or outdoors. I have lived in Wheaton for my entire life, so I know the Wheaton area and all of its surrounding towns very well so I can take pets on longer or shorter walks as need be!
About: Hey there! I'm a dog mom and certified dog trainer committed to caring for all dogs I meet in the best way possible! Aside from being a certified dog trainer, I work full time in a daycare/boarding facility and have experience with so many different temperaments and breeds. Working with dogs is my passion. I have three high energy dogs of my own and I understand how important our family furbabies are, and I care for every dog I work with as my own. My entire life involves animals and pet care. I am very fortunate to be able to provide more care while seamlessly adding to my routine! Safety is everything and I take it very seriously! Aside from strictly following any safety protocols you give me prior, I will put safety first in every situation! In addition to be being consistently attentive and with your dog, I will always take extra precautions such as frequent safety checks around the home, securing doors, back up leashes if asking for walks, and of course monitoring any changes and updating you throughout the day. Most importantly I will listen to your dog's body language at all times and give them any space needed. Keeping your dog physically safe, comfortable and free of fear are my main priorities always!
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 10 for my neighbors! I’ve worked at a dog daycare as well as a veterinary clinic, so I have lots of experience with animals! I’m currently a college student doing classes online, and I would love to spend some of my extra time hanging out with your sweet furry friends! :) I am always thorough in my work and never careless. Animals are precious and should always be treated as such. I always personalize my care according to your wishes and instructions!
“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”
“Maddie was wonderful! Duke was very well taken care of and I was informed and communicated with the entire time. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was in good hands. 10/10 recommend!!”

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.
She was so professional and kind and knowledgeable when she picked up my little guy. There was a mixup with the pictures and I’m not gonna lie. I got frustrated, but when she came back with my dog, we were able to clarify everything she was again, professional, and kind When we were working things out. I would definitely recommend her and I will definitely use her again!

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.

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.
