“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!”
“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong pet lover and owner with pet-sitting experience for family and friends. Their dogs always walk away from my pet sitting with lots of walks, belly rubs, and playtime! I'm comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler pace. I'm also an avid runner, so if your pup has energy to burn, I'm happy to take them jogging instead of just walking. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. Can't wait to meet your furry friend!I I currently have an open schedule, which means I can be flexible with walks, visits, or sitting whenever your pet needs me. This means I can do mornings, afternoons, evenings, or last-minute requests. I will make sure I make the most of me and your pet’s time together. Fresh water and food, playtime, daily exercise, and lots of affection. I’ll send pictures and updates throughout the day so you can check on your pet!
About: I grew up with pets my whole childhood and since moving out, I’ve adopted a cat and a dog. I’m great with animals and I have watched the pets of my friends and family many times. I know pets tend to miss their owner when they’re away, so I try to give them as much attention as possible to make them comfortable and happy while also sending the owner updates on their furry friend. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable with both large and small pets and enjoy taking them on walks, no matter the size! I went through obedience training with many of my animals so I know how to handle them in many situations and moods. I’m also a certified nursing assistant so poop and vomit don’t bother me and I have no problem cleaning it up! I’d love to watch any pet, especially yours :) I have two jobs but I tend to have more availability during the week than the weekend. I prefer to have at least a day’s notice so I can confirm my availability We have several pets so I’m more comfortable doing drop in visits rather than bringing animals into my home. I’m great when it comes to cleaning up after pets while still allowing them to play and get their energy out while you’re away
About: I truly enjoy animals! I had an amazing dog for the past 14 years. Sadly, she passed away this past year. I miss her dearly. I’m looking forward to giving love and care to your pets! I do not work in the summer time and thus have time to care for your pet. I’m pretty flexible and available most hours of the day. My dog was a significant part of my life. I would care for your pet as one of my own. I am responsible, passionate, patient, caring and playful towards animals. Looking forward to caring for your special pet.
About: Since I was 11, my neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs + cats. I have handled very large dogs but also small dogs without struggle, with a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. I have worked with multiple special needs animals and can administer any kind of medicine. I am a student so I have summer off right now, but start school august 25th. Most important holidays I will be gone out of town for. I am in a boating family, so most weekends we try to get out onto the lake during the summer!! Mostly only free during summer and Christmas break, I try to keep my calendar up to date but feel free to always reach out! I have a fenced in yard with enough space for your pups to run around and play. My neighborhood is a very safe and quiet area. I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!
About: I had a dog in my childhood home, have a cat now as an adult. Constantly spending time at rescues with dogs and cats. As well as looking into veterinary profession so I have clinic experience as well. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I make it a priority to give every pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs and behavior. With experience in animal rescue and veterinary settings, I am comfortable recognizing concerns and ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have experience medicating, socializing, walking, bathing (ear cleaning and nail trims too), and house sitting dogs and cats of all different ages, needs, breeds, tempers and sizes. I currently work/volunteer with rescue dogs and cats for around 9+ years and absolutely love it! I also used to work at a veterinarian hospital for 2 years. I know how to maintain basic dog obedience and read cat and or dog behaviors very well. I always love to send report cards with you via email or text. This way you know how each day went with your lovable furry family member(s). I also enjoy sending cute and fun photos or short videos of your pet(s), wether it’s during our walk or house sitting. My goal is to always make it a pawsitive experience for you and your pet. Before work I will always have a check list making sure your fur baby is at home with everything he/she may need. After work I will go straight home to him/her and make sure they get the best care for the rest of the day. Making sure your furry family members are happy and having all their needs met makes me smile knowing they are having a pawsitive experience. I always make sure to monitor any pet in my care closely. Their safety, comfort and happiness are my biggest priorities. Cuddle time is an activity I enjoy doing with all pets. Seeing your fur baby happy with unlimited pets and affection is very rewarding to me.
About: I will be as obsessed with your dog as I am with mine! I adopted my 10 year old Terrier when she was 3 months old. I have pet sat for many friends throughout the years. I have grown to learn how to walk even the stubborn dogs (mine doesn't like to walk in rain or snow). I understand the uncertainty an owner may feel to have someone walk their dog because I felt the same way when I first started using Wag. I know that your dog is part of your family and will tream them as I would treat mine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Elk Grove Village on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,707 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.

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.
