About: Hi, I’m Nicole – dog mom, dog lover, and Duke’s human. We’d love to welcome your pup into our home. I’ve been pet sitting for over 20 years and have cared for hundreds of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Your dog is in experienced hands. I know firsthand how stressful it is to find a sitter you can trust – we’ve moved around a lot over the years, caring for dogs across the country and around the world, and we know how hard it is to rebuild that trust with someone new every time. When you book with me, that search is over. Every dog in our care is treated like family, full stop. Our home comes with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can go outside whenever they want – no scheduling, no waiting. Duke is a small guy who grew up around big dogs, so he’s relaxed and unbothered by dogs of any size. He’s great company and an easy housemate for visiting pups. I work remotely, which means your dog gets real attention throughout the day – walks, playtime, and plenty of downtime together. Big or small, shy or social – we’re happy to have them. We can’t wait to meet your pup. Nicole and Duke 🐾 Pet care is woven into my daily life! I work remotely, so I'm home most of the time with my dog, Duke. Our day naturally includes walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and lots of attention. Adding another dog or two just makes our days even better — more walks, more belly rubs, more joy! Caring for pets isn’t an "extra" task for me — it’s part of how I live every day, with lots of love, care, and companionship. 🐾 In my home, pets are treated just like family! They have free roam of the house, a large fenced backyard to play in, and lots of love and attention. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — whether that's meal schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home, and I always tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. Your pup will get plenty of affection, exercise, and of course — treats (if allowed)! 🐶❤️

About: Growing up from an early age my family and I have always had dogs and cats. The first dog I was around consistently was my grandmothers, Buddy.

My mother then got Adam to give Oscar a friend. My first dog I got from a local shelter, Lulu. Over the years I had a few more. A newfoundland Bernie who would wait patiently at the water bowl for the cats to be done. Norman, a black cat who had an old man meow. A German Shepard mix, Guthrie who was a ball of energy from day one, and 2 dachshund mixes, Joe and Axle who look completely different from each other but follow each other everywhere.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,759 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cook. 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 Cook. 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 Cook.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 Cook. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
