“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.”
“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!”
“Jennifer is absolutely wonderful, so attentive and thoughtful with our pup. She’s the perfect peace of mind to know our pup is happy, safe and having a great time. Her communication is superb and her kindness is unmatched. So grateful for her!”
About: Dog sitting is new to me, but my love for dogs is not. After recently losing my own dog, I felt called to give back the same unconditional love he gave me. I provide calm, loving, and reliable care, creating a safe and comforting environment for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Although I work full time, I’m able to step away throughout the day for check-ins, cuddles, potty breaks, and quality time. Mornings, evenings, and breaks are fully dedicated to making sure each dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow feeding and care instructions closely, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles, and make sure they feel secure in their environment. My goal is always for pets to feel at ease and cared for, just like family.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and shown it in the care I give. I started my pet care experience at 14 by watching family members' pets, as well as my mother's coworkers' animals. From there, I expanded into word-of-mouth clients from friends, and finally opened up a Rover account when I entered my 20s. I treat all pets I care for like my own, and have experience with several animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals, and even horses. I love learning and continue to expand my knowledge for caring for animals by researching and taking classes where I can. I currently work full time, which is Monday through Thursday from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. I am always willing to work things into my schedule, so please contact me to do so. I love when owners leave me notes regarding their pets care and little trick and habits that will help the pets feel more comfortable. I ensure safety and care to any pets I sit or walk.
“Jessica did an amazing job walking my pitbull! She was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with handling dogs. My pup came back happy and well-exercised. She was also very communicative, giving me updates during the walk, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.
About: I have had dogs and cats since childhood, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, taking dogs for walks, and making sure they have fresh food and water. I am patient, responsible, and caring, and I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are very important to me. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats has taught me how important love, patience, and proper care are. I am a kind, responsible, and attentive person who enjoys spending time with pets and getting to know their unique personalities. I would love to help care for your furry family members and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I will always treat your pet with patience, kindness, and care. During walks, I will keep your dog securely leashed and pay attention to our surroundings. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, routines, and special needs. I will also keep you updated and send photos so you can feel confident that your beloved pet is in caring hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was little. Ranging from a huge house hippo, to a tiny little chihuahua. I have worked in numerous dog daycares picking up on all different dog behaviors, as well as basic puppy training. I am a certified AKC S.A.F.E. dog groomer as my full time job so I am constantly around all different breeds, temperaments and size dogs! :) I am currently working Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and every other Saturday 9am-4pm, as a dog groomer in Barrington. But I still have plenty of free time to spend with your furry friends! Just shoot me a message and we can figure something out! I can assure you in my care that your furry friends will be well taken care of as well as supervised during outdoor playtime, feeding, and anytime that is needed :) They will be treated as one of my own.
About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I'd love to care for your dog or cat! I have grown up with multiple dogs at a time my whole life, so I am very familiar with both trained and untrained dogs of all sizes. I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and a half, and have always been the first call of friends and families to watch their dogs. I also worked for a dog walking company when I lived in the city, and our specialty was catering specifically to dogs and pups who live in apartment complexes or high rise buildings and owners cannot easily let them out to potty or come home for lunch. I know you love your dog but also have to work long hours to provide the nice life for them - let me be the extension of your love by being the walk, potty break, and care they deserve! I currently work full time and loosely make my own hours, so I have availability in mornings, lunchtime, afternoons and evenings to care for all the sweet pets! I work best with a list of clear expectations from owners about how they prefer their pets to be cared for and all the rules of the house - no list is too long, the more details the better! I am big on communication and sending you a daily photo and check-in of my time with the pet, as I know I would appreciate that from my pet's caretaker too.
About: I am new to professional pet care, but I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time with dogs. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I am excited to provide safe, caring dog walks and drop-in visits and treat every pet like my own. My work schedule varies from week to week but I’m flexible and always make time for pet care. I’m usually able to fit in dog walks and drop in visits on most days, depending on timing. I enjoy being active and spending time with pets, so I will do my best to accommodate requests and keep communication clear. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, attentive presence during walks and drop-in visits, making sure each dog feels secure and cared for. I stay alert to surroundings, use safe handling practices, and always respect each pet’s individual needs and personality.
About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
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.
“Joseph arrived early for his appointment and was great with the dogs. He asked about their special needs and took them for a grand adventure around our neighborhood. I will use him again and I recommend him.”

We are so grateful to Maggie for taking such wonderful care of our dog(american bully)! Our pup always gets so excited when it's time for their walk. Maggie is reliable, punctual, and truly cares about animals. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dog walker!
Wendy is gentle, attentive, and kind. She brings a comforting presence which my dog needs, and I enjoy. Wendy followed special instructions perfectly. She has excellent communication skills, especially helpful when arranging scheduling. My dog loved Wendy right away, during the Meet and Greet (no awkwardness). Looking forward to booking Wendy again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,527 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Dundee. 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 East Dundee. 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 East Dundee 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 East Dundee. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
