About: I am a college student looking to help out! I started working with dogs at a very young age. I helped my aunt out taking care of foster dogs and dog sitting. I also worked at a dog bored and play daycare facility. I have dealt with every breed of dog. I have dealt with dogs being the most shy and nervous, to some of the most “aggressive” dogs. I also am very good with puppies, and senior dogs. Dogs have helped me, so I want to help them! I want to help you with your dogs. Leaving your fur baby is hard and stressful, but I hope that I can help ease the stress just a little by assuring u they are in good hands with me! I have 2 dogs of my own and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies. I unfortunately don’t have a fenced in yard but because I don’t it allows me more walks and to be able to take them to the park to play. And I can do the same for your fur baby.
“Corai absolutely loves Maricella!! Maricella tends to special needs, interacting with Corai & protecting her based on Corai’s history of abuse. Maricella gives Corai her pill daily right down her throat, as per my instructions. Maricella is kind, compassionate, and very caring. She is ALWAYS punctual & she comes three times a day seven days a week. Maricella puts me at ease & is friendly. Highly Recommend!”

“Liz has been watching our Husky Stella for over two years and we can't be more grateful for her! Stella absolutely loves her, and we always know she is in good hands when we go out of town. She is great at communicating with us, and takes the best pics 😄 Highly recommend!”
About: I have been a pet owner all my life, and I have helped my mom with pet sitting ever since I was 10 years old! My schedule is completely open at the moment, All week days, as well as weekends, day to day I’m available anytime between 9am to 7:30pm! At the moment I only offer dog walking services within a walkable distance of my home. I am very familiar with the Elk Grove Neighborhoods!
“Carly is amazing! Our dogs Cooper and Mateo love her. She is friendly, easy going, excellent communicator and kind. I’ve had a difficult time navigating the app and she’s been so patient and helpful. During the meet and greet we were able to share specifics about what we are looking for and she has met all of our pups needs. I have rebooked her and will continue to rebook with Carly! You have been a life saver Carly! Thank you!”

“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”

“I cannot say enough nice things about Natalie! I booked her last minute when the regular walker couldn’t make it, like less than an hour and a half. Not only did she reply right away, but she basically headed straight there. She was incredibly patient with Caesar who can sometimes be reluctant to go on his walks with new people. I booked her for an hour walk, but she went over that time to allow him to get comfortable with her before walking him. She communicated throughout the whole session and made me feel less anxious. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Natalie. I will definitely book her again and you should too.”

“Jillian took great care of our dog for walks! She was on time, following all care instructions, and made sure our pup was safe in the extreme heat. We’ll definitely use her again!”

About: I grew up around many dogs. My parents LOVE English Bulldogs and we always had 2-3 in our home whether we were fostering or they were ours. A few years ago we found a cat in the woods and decided to add to the family! After moving out, I have decided to rescue two cats of my own and they have been such a blessing! I also watch my friends dogs and cats from time to time. I am currently studying to be a personal trainer and work at a gym opening a women’s fitness program. My schedule is pretty open currently as I am studying for my personal trainers certificate! I am also a bodybuilder so my life really revolves around the gym! My schedule is currently very flexible. I currently have two cats, and I play with them often. They have many toys and cat trees. I would consider myself very playful. I also love to walk dogs! My bulldogs at home love walks 1-2 times a day which I have been able to help out with when there. I hope to offer similar services!
About: Why do I do what I do? Because there's no feeling like receiving that first tail wag, head bump, or slobbery kiss. My calling is to advocate for the ones who can't do it themselves and to care for them. Having 6 cats and some reptiles of my own and being a Veterinary Technician is what my life consists of and I love it. Being a Veterinary Technician aids me in many ways while pet sitting. Being able to read animals body language and understand their ways of communicating allow me to bond and build trust with my pet friends. I'm comfortable with all breeds, temperaments, special needs, and feline friends(spicy ones too). Building that bond with all my furry friends is what brings joy to my soul. Making sure every pet is happy, healthy, and feels safe are my main priority, always! I have the luxury of creating my own schedule so fortunately I am very flexible. Lately I have been sitting, walking, and doing drop-ins on a more regular basis. I do have a part-time job, but that schedule is made according to my business schedule. Pet care comes first! It's all about your pets safety and comfort thats my main priority. All of my services will be done in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your pets. I am more than happy to do your daily routines as you would and care for every pet as if they are my own.
About: Hi! We are a husband/wife with a loving 3 year old Golden Retriever named Gavin. We have raised him from 8 weeks old and trained him ourselves. He has not met a dog yet he doesn’t like and can’t wait to meet yours! I'm available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week/weekends except for on Tuesday and Wednesday and can be flexible. I will follow any schedule/routine provided for peace of mind and have my cell phone readily available for any updates. We have an adorable 6 year old golden retriever and take him on multiple walks a day and can ensure peace of mind from years of experience with owning a dog.

About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.
About: My house has a large backyard stocked with a puppy pool and dog toys thanks to my 2 residents dogs. Not only have I raised my 2 girls (2 Doberman)since they were just a few weeks old (now 3 and 1.5), I’ve previously had a boxer (she passed at 13 years old). I’ve also pet sat both large and small dogs and plenty of cats! I have a cat of my own (Meowth 6yrs). I work remotely from my house most days—let’s talk schedule when we chat! I typically won’t introduce my picky girls to new pups right away. Thanks to my husband and niece, they get lots of attention and love. If the vibe is right, we can def do some pack walks and slow intros. Slow and steady wins the race! Plus, with my husband watching my babes, I can give yours a more TLC while you’re out. If that doesn’t work, I’m also open to pet sitting at your home—whatever you pet needs! I’m an overprotective pet mom myself so I totally understand the need to make sure your pet isn’t only safe but also happy while you’re away. I’m happy to send picture and video updates while your pet stays with me (or during a walk/drop in). You can call, text, video chat anytime. I typically send at least 4 updates with photos and videos a day. I’m also close to the vet in case any emergency arises! Not to mention I’m an avid hiker and a (very novice) canicross runner—my pups love to run and hike! If you’re comfortable with your dogs going on a long hike with me, I’m happy to take them on an adventure to one of the nearby forest preserves. Or if frisbee is more your pups thing, I have a 100yd leash and a huge field near me that my dogs also frequent. Don’t be afraid to mention any behavioral problems, just let me know and we can find something that works for everyone. I’ve had experience with reactive dogs. I’m happy to continue your training while your dog is with me. I currently work mostly remotely! I’m home with my girls all day long and happy to host your pup, too. With enough notice I should be able to work fully remote when your baby is over—but let’s discuss! On the weekends, we love to spend as much time outdoors/on trails as possible. Your pet is my priority. I focus on how they are acting individually and with others so they can stay happy and safe. Attention and urgency with everything is key to me.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Elk Grove Village on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 13,220 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elk Grove Village. 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 Elk Grove Village. 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 Elk Grove Village.
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 Elk Grove Village. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
