“Thank you for walking amber again. She is always so excited to walk with someone other than me and she loves it when you take her to the park. Hope you continue to enjoy Amber”
About: I have about one year of hands-on pet ownership experience and have been around animals my entire life. I’ve helped train and care for dogs, including Collies and Hounds, with experience in basic obedience, leash walking, crate training, and puppy training. I enjoy walking dogs and providing enrichment to support their physical and mental well-being. I also love bathing dogs too! I have experience with a range of dog personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, and those with special needs, such as medication schedules or mobility considerations. I’m adaptable, patient, and willing to adjust my care style to fit each dog’s individual needs. I try and build my routine that balances and fits my dog and me! This includes daily walks, 10 minute sessions of training, playtime, and decompression time. I also give snuggle and cuddle time, but only if the dog I work with initiates. I also love giving my dog a well balanced diet and hydration especially in this hot weather. I also believe that a dogs world is as big as we allow, and so I love bringing dogs to new adventures, like hiking or a day at the beach. I try to include these at least weekly or bi-weekly. I also love having doggie play dates, and have some minor experience with dogs meeting for the first time! I currently live in an apartment, so I only service for home visits and walking right now. I’m familiar with fenced or semi fenced yards and crating. I have my own dog that I love taking out for walks and training, so if you don’t have a yard that isn’t an issue! I work great when I’m giving instructions in writing or verbal that best helps your doggie!
“Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.”
About: As a Mommy and animal enthusiast - I take immense pride and joy in my care for ALL babies! We tend to forget that It takes a village to raise ‘em right and I’d be honored to be the chosen addition to helping you raise yours. I currently work “on-call” meaning I have ample amount of free time to invest in to my relationship with your fur babies. Whilst I am a devoted stickler when it comes to scheduling, I also understand that life happens and flexibility is a necessity. I can't allow pets in my apartment because they have a no pet policy allowed but I'm more than able to house sit in the client's home.
“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, with a special focus on small pups and senior dogs. Whether your pup needs extra patience, a specific routine, or just a cozy companion, I’m always happy to accommodate 🙂 I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule and have ample room for your dog to play. If you prefer to have your pup in their crate, please kindly let me know as I make my home, their home as well. I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, I focus on consistency, respect, and attentive routines that help animals feel comfortable. I also have a fenced yard for dogs to play freely.
“Nicole is awesome! She is very good with dogs. She bonded with our dog Milo for a week. Milo loves walking with her. I'm so glad we found her last minute. She was a great help. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Hayley is extremely responsible, has great communication and is on time for all scheduled visits. She did an amazing job with drop-in visits and dog walks and left us very comfortable while we were away. Will definitely be using her next time. Thanks, Hayley!”
“Jessica is professional and kind. My dog liked her upon meeting her. She is good with messaging promptly. She has followed my requests for how to go about interacting with my dog and locking up the house. 5 stars!”
About: I work as a wildland firefighter. In the winters I like to get the critter love I don't get in the summer. I enjoy practiceing training with pets, I watch friends dogs and cats while they go on vacation. Help with farm critters and house projects. It's nice to be around animals and help others out. I've got an open schedule the next few months. Love walking or running in the mornings and evenings. Weekends and Fridays are typically open during the work week. Pets are usually more comfortable in their own home. So I'd prefer to take care of them there. I have a very open place right next to the river with some space to play. For kitties there are plenty of nap spots in the house. There's parks within a short distance and trails to run. I’m currently doing mostly short term work and home projects so there is a lot off time for breaks to go for a walk or get some pets in. I have a nice open home with plenty of nap spots. I can crate your pet if needed. They will not be alone for extended periods of time and can join me most of the time if I have to be away for awhile.

I have a fenced yard and a friendly small dog to keep your pet company! We enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood and playing fetch in the backyard.
About: I fostered for two years multiple puppies. I taught them tricks and learned how to bathe dogs properly. I’m very patient and love taking multiple walks with my dog everyday! I have a very flexible schedule that I can accommodate to your needs! I am available for boarding on the weekend. And pet sitting on holidays. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. In the area that I live we have several dog friendly walking paths. I have a huge backyard as well.
“I've booked Jacqueline and Uriel a few times now and they are always great. Super flexible, communicative, reliable, and my dachshund Ladybug LOVES them. Thank you! 💗”
About: I have always had pets for as long as I can remember. I have raised puppies & kittens, fostered and loved on seniors of all kinds. Some pets include dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, guinee pigs, turtles, snakes and geckos. I teach full time from 7:30am to 3:00pm I am available to love on your four (mostly) legged babies in the afternoons, evenings, my days off, holidays and weekends. If there was a need to care for pets in my home I would have a separate space for your fur babies to rest comfortably.
“Haley was wonderful to work with and our dog jackson loves her. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. You can tell she really cares about the animals she works with. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, puppies, and senior dogs. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently a full-time nursing student, but I have my summer free and a flexible schedule for anything! I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs while giving them the attention and care they need. My priority is keeping dogs safe, happy, and comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and maintain pets’ routines to reduce stress. I’m attentive during walks and always provide a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Carpentersville on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 7,465 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carpentersville. 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 your Carpentersville. 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 Carpentersville.

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 Carpentersville. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
