“Taylor did a good job walking Danny, even though she really didn’t wanna walk very far. She was very gentle with her. I would definitely have her walk Danny again.”
About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING PET/HOUSE SITTING** I want to clarify that I do not typically provide traditional overnight house sitting. Instead, I specialize in drop-in care and can provide multiple visits throughout the day to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. For example, I may visit in the morning, again during the day, and then for a longer evening visit. This works especially well for pets who don't need someone staying overnight but still benefit from consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. If you're looking for overnight house sitting, I may be open to discussing shorter stays (3 days or less) after a meet & greet, depending on the situation. If you're unsure which option is best for your pets, feel free to reach out! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy caring for all kinds of animals. My experience includes dogs and cats, as well as small pets such as rabbits and other small mammals, reptiles, and horses. I also have hands-on equine experience, including equine bodywork, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and responsive with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I follow routines closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter care, habitat care, and all the little details that matter—and I adapt my approach to each animal's personality and needs. Whether your pet is social and energetic, shy and routine-driven, or simply prefers to do their own thing, I meet them where they are. You can expect clear communication and consistent updates while you're away, so you always know your pets are safe and well cared for. I am currently looking to fill in some gaps in my schedule and should be able to accommodate most pet owners and their pet care needs. I follow care instructions closely and treat both your pet and your home with respect and care. Safety, routine, and clear communication are always my priority. If anything comes up or you have questions, I’m easy to reach and will keep you updated while you’re away.
“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”
“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”
About: We have experience of raising our 4 year old pitbull since a pup! She loves company and we work from home allowing us to provide all the care to any dogs in need! We work from home so our schedule is super flexible. Any specific routines or schedules that your dog needs just let us know and we’ll make do! Our dogs are allowed throughout the entire basement and first floor. We have an unfenced yard for them to play and also have an additional crate. This is a dog-friendly neighborhood with perfect paths to go on a walk.
About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.
About: I’ve been a house sitter and dog walker for other people for years, while also taking care of family rescues also! Puppies and kitties of all ages and sizes, from Great Danes to Bichon! I’m currently studying so some fur friends to keep me company are very welcome! My days are very busy, so I’m mostly available on night sits, otherwise drop in sits are good! I’m very attentive and caring, good at cleaning up after the pups and cleaning the house. Walking them and very good about handling strong dogs on walks, never getting angry at them.
About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.
“Hanna was wonderful with Jaxx on his first walk. He was shy at first since he’d never had a walker before, but her calm and patient approach helped him warm up quickly. She let him walk at his own pace, shared detailed updates, and even sent a picture, which I really appreciated. I felt very relieved and will definitely continue using her services”
About: Ive worked with all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve worked with fearful and shy dogs, aggressive dogs, and 10/10 good dogs. I’ve fostered numerous dogs as well as medical cases. I am well versed in dispensing medication if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m used to balancing responsibilities while making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my day! I like to discuss the animals needs and personality with the owner prior to meeting them to make the pet more comfortable. I care for every animal the same, like they are my own.
“Hello Walkers. For the 10 days I hired Lois as a walker for my Belgian Tervuren lko. I could have not been more pleased, confident and secure with my choice of Lois. She is a good kind soul who has a natural ability to gain trust of even the most leary of dogs. Thank you Lois! Thank You Rover! I wouldn't consider using another service.”
About: I grew up in a home always having at least 2 pups running around & have always enjoyed being around animals. While I have always helped out with our own animals ever since I was little, I have been house sitting/pet sitting for others since I was 10! I also have experience with a wide age range, from puppies to senior pups. I have a few families I regularly dog-sit consistently that I’ve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my “dog family” & love on your pup while you’re away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm. I have full availability on Fridays and weekends for all the cuddles, walks & fetch games we can fit in! I have a cat - Luna - who is the sweetest ball of fluff you will ever meet, however, she is very anxious and shy. While she does very well with other cats, she doesn’t do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.
“Carly did a great job and was flexible with the plans. My dog loved her. Even my maid met her and spoke how wonderful she was. Will use her again and will recommend her to anyone. Ray. Sylvan Park.”
About: My love and experience with animals starts at home with my own two pets, who I care for as part of my family. I’m very hands-on with their health and happiness, from preparing homemade dog food and treats to making sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and love. Over the past three years, I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering approximately 33 dogs with Border Tails Rescue, Tiny aln Tall Rescue, Chicago Rescue Authority and Anderson Humane. Fostering has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, routines, and needs. I understand that some dogs need extra patience and time to feel safe and comfortable, especially when adjusting to a new environment. Whether I’m boarding your pet, taking them for a walk, or pet sitting, my goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I give my own pets. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I am currently a Special Ed Paraprofessional at a local high school therefore I'm available late afternoons, evenings and open weekends. I’m comfortable giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care while making sure they feel safe and happy. My schedule does vary, and on certain weekdays, weekends, school breaks, and days off, I may be available all day. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you can easily see my current availability. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care! Over the past three years, I’ve fostered more than 30 dogs through organizations including Tiny N Tall Rescue, Anderson Humane, Border Tails Rescue, and Chicago Rescue Authority. This experience has allowed me to care for dogs with many different personalities, backgrounds, and needs, teaching me patience, consistency, and how to help dogs feel safe in a new environment. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I also have a private, fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine and strive to make their stay feel like a comfortable home away from home.
About: Being around animals makes me happy! My volunteer trainings and the past experiences of being around animals and genuine patience and empathy can give the best care to your fur babies that come my way. I have volunteered with local animal rescues since 2007, and am currently on the board of a small NY based rescue. I am a cat lady at heart but adore all animals! As a flight attendant and have been flying professionally since 1997, I know the anxious feeling of being away from my fur babies and missing them so so well (longest period was a month) where the only thing that gave me solace were the numerous pictures and descriptive texts from my sitter. I would like to provide that comfort for you when you are away from them. Please contact me whenever you need someone punctual and reliable, and enjoy giving updates to the pawrents to ease their heart! Pet care is my daily life. I do not have a problem at all making the life about the fur babies because it is. It's true that I work to give them a better life! Just by being loving and trying to give them what they need at the time they ask for it! Also for the owners I will give as many pictures and update texts as they want (because for me, it was more the better when I was on the road). Being safe and having trust is the very base of what I represent and that is nonnegotiable.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have had four dogs of my own, including two larger dogs that I helped train and care for. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, playing with, and giving lots of attention to dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also dog sat before and truly enjoy being around animals. I’m very patient, responsible, and passionate about pet care because I plan to become a veterinarian in the future. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available most days for walks and will always do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m very patient, caring, and understanding with dogs because I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level. I believe in positive care and creating a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. I also value communication with owners and will always treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
About: I am a reliable, responsible and attentive sitter. I love animals so always make sure they ate and have play time. I understand every dog has different needs so am always sure to follow directions owners give me. I work from home so will be with the dog/cat I am watching for the majority of the day.
About: I’m an animal lover through and through! I’ve been house sitting for 6 years. I am experienced with dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I am also experienced with senior animals needing medication. I just moved to the area and I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I am working a full time job but it offers flexibility. I also have different days off each week allowing me to work into your schedule. I work evenings allowing availability during the normal work day. I love spending time with cats and dogs. Whether that be in your home or taking your dog/s on a walk to enjoy the weather!
“Sarah has been to our house for a meet and greet and a walk with my two dogs. She has been great with communication prior to and following both appointments. She also had a wonderful way with my polar opposite personality dogs. She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”

Olivia has been wonderful with Bear and Bella! She’s only walked them a couple of times so far, but I’m already very happy with her. She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job with both of them. I feel very comfortable having them in her care and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️

The average cost of Dog Walking in Deer Park is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Deer Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Deer Park after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Deer Park. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
