“Daniel was really sweet with our high energy lab. He took Ziggy off our hands amidst the chaos of moving day and brought him home happy and tired, which made such a difference for us! We are happy to be moved into the area now and will definitely use Daniel again.”
“Iví follows directions perfectly, communicates clearly, and is incredibly gentle and patient with our dog. It’s obvious they truly love and care about animals, and we feel confident and secure knowing our girlie is in such capable, kind hands!”
“We are so grateful to Lori, who hopped in the car and came a long way to help us out at the very last minute. She took our high energy 3-year-old lab on a fun hiking adventure and took so many cute photos. We will definitely use Lori again!”
“We are so happy we found Abigail! She is communicative and extremely flexible- with scheduling and with our very different dogs. She is patient and responsive with our sick dog and also can manage our more wild dog, both with a calm gentleness. She clearly has a strong understanding of dogs as well as a deep love for them.”
About: I have lots of experience house/pet sitting and can provide multiple references. I love all animals and will dedicate time to making them feel comfortable with me. I am currently unemployed - looking to fill tons of time with pet care! If you need someone for a longer job or last minute help, let me know! I spend lots of time with the pets I watch and I am happy to provide any specific needs: dietary, scheduling, playtime quirks! Very committed to keeping your pup or cat happy.
About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
About: I grew up having dogs and cats and taking care of them. Now that I don’t have any pets of my own, I’d love to care for someone else’s! I have dog sat for all kinds of dogs and always enjoyed the time spent with them. I currently work as a full time teacher, so I have time for pet care in the evenings most days of the week and even weekends. I care for pets by trying to understand what they need and giving them lots of love and attention. I am also fit enough to lift a dog if needed.
About: Hello! Thank you for considering me as a new best friend for your fur baby! I will provide excellent care with my experience and understanding of animal behavior. I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. I worked for a dog walking and pet sitting company for 7 years and I also worked for 2 dog daycares and a mobile vaccine clinic for dogs and cats. I also have a degree in animal science. I am available in the evenings for dog walking or cats that only need one visit a day or any pet sitting in the evening if your morning person is unavailable for an evening visit and throughout the whole day on my days off. I work in the mornings as a baker and am home by 2:30 everyday. I am available for evening visits and all day on my days off. I currently am working as a baker at big y 5 days a week but I miss working with animals and want to be able to enjoy both the security of my current job and to do pet care which I also love! I am renting so can only offer services at your home but have an incredibly dog friendly dog of my own if a play date is something you would be interested in. I will respect any instructions you have about entering your home and will keep it safe and secure. I am adaptable and can do whatever you prefer that makes your pets day the best day ever! This can be playtime inside or outside or walks.
“Anna is super sweet and very communicative! She helped out walking my dog very last minute which I so appreciate. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future :)”
About: Need someone you can trust with your baby? That's me! Trustworthy, reliable, affectionate, probably too affectionate lol. Experience with big and small dogs, I am stern and loving and love to spoil with extra long walks and cuddles. I know it is hard leaving your loved one with a stranger so any questions or concerns are welcome. I am here to make your experience comfortable and worry free that is why i like to send picture updates of your little one having fun. Cant wait to make a new friend to keep me company while we go for walks, play fetch, eat meals together and snuggle and pet at the end of the day, or whatever your little guy likes! Thanks for your consideration :)
About: I am an active 20 something animal loving gal. Throughout college, I dog walked and house sat very regularly. Now I take on more long term house sitting gigs, but I am open to new drop in/dog walking clients. I am comfortable and have experience with all indoor animals (big and small) and some outdoor critters (think chickens, goats, etc.). I have familiar and comfortable with the needs of puppies and older dogs, I have experience taking care of both. Currently, I work part time so I an free throughout the day to visit your furry friends while you’re at work. Additionally, I don’t have many responsibilities at home (no fur babies or kiddos), so I have a generally flexible schedule for housesitting. I am comfortable caring for animals with any kind of needs. I am adamant about clear communication with owners to understand how to best care of their fur babies and keep them safe. I reciprocate this communication when caring for your fur babies and try my best to stay in regular contact with owners.
About: I am a 28 yr old college student living right down the way from the beach as well as golden gate park. I have worked at a grooming salon downtown so I know how to treat a pup :). I am currently (temporarily) dog free and missing my furry friends so much I had to get back on the app to help out anyone that may need an extra hand. I truly love dogs of all shapes and sizes so much, let me spoil yours! I work part time, and the days I am scheduled are consistently Mon, tues, and /or Wednesday. I am always free fridays and weekends for any services, and generally am free in the evenings and afternoons as well for walks and/or drop in visits. I would plan to remain with your dog for the entirety of my time with them. I do have a crate if that is something that makes your dog feel safe, or is needed. But I would care for the pets by following feeding instructions if that was included in the service, keep the pup entertained and happy with playful fun and lots of cuddling. Last but not least, as many walks as the owner /dog would desire!
About: My first job as a kid was taking care of the neighborhood pets. I’ve always had a close bond with animals and have experience with rescue dogs, special needs pets, and senior dogs. I have an extra special place in my heart for pitties and you can know that your bully breed will be safe and respected when in my care. I’m currently working a flexible part-time schedule so I have plenty of availability. I am available for regular weekly walks and play sessions, and with the summer months coming up I am also available for vacation or temporary sitting opportunities. I enjoy physical activity, being outdoors, and hope to spend time hiking and playing outside with your dogs. I can lift 120lbs and hold a current wilderness first aid certification and can confidently respond to any pet emergencies that may occur.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 908 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Deerfield. 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 Deerfield. 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 Deerfield.
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 Deerfield. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
