“Samantha did a great job taking care of my energetic lab. She arrived on time and Tula seemed happy to spend time with her. I look forward to working with Samantha again in the future.”

About: I’ve had various pets all of my life and have been very hands on caring for them. I’ve had everything from horses, dogs and cats, and rabbits and guinea pigs. I also have experience working as a Veterinary technician at our local vet office. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m mostly available throughout the week aside from occasional shifts starting after 4 pm. I live on a small hobby farm, so I have a large fenced property as well as a smaller, more private fenced area. I have friendly dogs of my own. I can easily crate your dog if wanted, bathe and trim nails, and take them for walks or any other requested activities!
About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.
“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”

I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs.

About: Hello there! Let me take the stress of having to find a sitter for your pets off of your shoulders! I love getting to meet new dogs and cats. I currently work at an animal shelter once a week so I feel very comfortable with handling different varieties of cats and dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of others pets. I know how to follow directions and make sure the needs of the pets are taken care of. Currently, I cannot board any pets. I can come to your home if needed to let your dog out, play with your cat and of course make sure your furry children have food to eat. I’d love to be your next go to pet sitter. Your pets will thank you. The only day I am not available is Tuesday since that is the day I’m working at the animal shelter. Other than that, my schedule is usually open. Currently I am not able to board any pets right now due to living in an apartment. I have 2 pets of my own already and cannot have anymore due to the apartment rules. For my own pets, I let my dog out at least 3 times a day and feed her twice a day. I also feed my cat twice a day and empty out his litter box when it’s full.

I will give regular updates, with a peace of mind. While treating your home with the same care and respect as o do your pets maintaining cleanliness and security. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is essential to ensure the health and happiness of my furry friends. we take morning walks. I provide fresh food and clean water at these times. We take evening walks or Playtime. I clean their bedding, litter box, or cages. We also take time out to buy pet supplies such as food, treats, and hygiene products. Remove hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. Secure Boundaries: I make sure the yard is securely fenced to prevent. For consistency, I like to stick to the pet's usual routines, including feeding schedules and exercise patterns. This consistency helps build trust. Daily logs of the pet's activities, are kept, including feeding, bathroom breaks, and any unusual behavior. I will share photos or videos with the pet owner to provide reassurance and maintain trust. Prioritize their safety, build trust through care and attention, and create a comfortable environment, and you'll provide exceptional pet care services.
About: I grew up taking care of my childhood pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian and an orange tabby cat! I loved taking my dog out for walks and playing with him in our yard. I also had a guinea pig growing up and I now have three amazing cats but love all creatures big and small! Exercise is important for your animal so let me be the one who keeps your pet healthy! I’m a stay at home mom so I have open availability to walk or check on your animals almost any day and time unless there is a prior commitment I have! I have two cats so I don’t offer in home services but I have a reliable vehicle that I can get to your home to walk and/or play with your pets in your yard!
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I also have experience taking care of freshwater aquariums, turtles, snakes, and birds. I love animals and am open to whatever your needs are. Currently, we have an 8 year old spayed lab, and two dog friendly cats. I have the ability to seperate sections of the house if your dog or cat is not cat/dog friendly. I have 18 acres to take dogs on walks, as well as a fenced in back yard with a pool for play time and summer swims. I don't mind providing baths to dogs that may need them and I also have experience bathing cats as long as they are generally tolerant to the process. I am a master's student so I am always home and won't leave your pet alone for hours at a time. My little zoo and I would love to meet you! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any special requests, questions, or concerns.
About: When it comes to family pets, from tiny little munchkin cat breed all the way to Irish Wolfhound, they all deserve the love and respect as a extended family member (or sometime even as our own fur baby). Being raised around Chows and Aussie Shepards, I have experience in both “aggressive” and friendly breeds. A critter is only as bad as the owner. As long as there is at least 24-48hr notification, I’m a pretty flexible person. Seven days a week I’d be available to drop in and say hi, play a little, feed and do potty breaks. Clean as I go to include litter boxes. If being asked to stay overnight, it would be at your location for the best comfort of the animal. My house is a fenced in yard. We typically, based on weather, have my pups run outside once very 2/3 hours. Outside of that, we do regular walks up to 2 miles at least twice a week (again, based on weather). We play games like catch and hidden treat games for enrichment. For the family cat, he is currently maintained by one of my kids but, we allow him free roam and sometimes trips outside on a leash. He has a XXL dog kennel that we will set up when we are outside and he wants to join us to ensure he is bird safe. He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.

About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!!

I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore!

About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.
About: Growing up on an animal farm introduced me to pet care early on. Continual dog ownership and constantly seeking improvement has helped me with my care for pets. Being prior service within my job scope I was directly affiliated with working dogs, service dogs, and basic training for both! I’ve always been the one to be called on in regards to family and friend. A hamster, a fish, a turtle there’s a friend for everyone here! There is no dog too big or too small. I am extremely grateful for the time you took to look at my profile and I want you to understand that your pet would be in caring, tender hands. I’m a stay at home dad and my wife owns a private personal training business. I’m always home, and when I’m not my wife is. We tend to our 2 dogs, 3 fish and multiple varieties of plants. We have a neatly cut tree line surrounding our 2.5 Acre property. The dogs are allowed to roam freely. The fish are not allowed to roam freely. We have a variety of dog toys outside, multiple sources of fresh water outside and inside. When the dogs are outside they are administered. When we welcome your pet here you can expect top notch treatment! I preform frequent grooming on my own dogs so I’m always happy to brush or bathe any other pet! I can maintain anything from a human baby, all the way to a spooky horse! (Huge difference there right?) A nicely maintained property that’s ambiance is accentuated with nature! Clean, fresh cool well water in the water sources every day. Inside is extremely welcoming for pets also! Pets are allowed to roam the house freely, where you’ll find water sources and plenty of dog toys. Our whole family thrives off of positive reinforcement, so we are always trying to progress our pets knowledge while having fun in the process!

I am experienced in giving medication, First Aid and CPR for dogs. I am currently retired so I am available 24/7. I can board dogs in my home under 40 lbs.

Our Westie gets 2 walks a day and we often go to the park down the street when the weather is right. My Westie is 18 months old so we are very engaged with her playtime and continued training. I have a fenced yard. My dog can play with your dog. She enjoys the company if other dogs. we play a lot of ball and tug.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was pretty young, working on Rover when it first came out. I worked at a dog daycare in Indianapolis for 5 years that I was a general manager at for 3 years of that time. I have a 6 year old mini Australian shepherd that I have experience with managing dog reactivity. I currently am in between jobs and have plenty of open availability. I structure my day around your pets’ needs and then prioritize admin work tasks once I have a schedule to work with. My own dog is selectively dog reactive so I am very aware of my surroundings and his triggers at any given time when outside of our home. I can and have always provided multiple daily updates, pictures, videos, and am very responsive to owners. I am more than willing to share my personal number to ensure trusted communication.
About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dekalb
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 280 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dekalb. 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 Dekalb. 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 Dekalb.
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 Dekalb. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
