About: I've grown up around dogs and even helped train my mom's service dog. I am comfortable with cats, but I have a mild allergy, so I have never owned one. I've had small and large dogs, and I know how to handle both! I was a caregiver for a family friend's dogs for a few years, and it was amazing! I've also interned at a veterinary clinic, so I've worked with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I'm currently home from college for the summer, so my schedule is pretty free! I'm looking at part-time jobs, but if I get enough clients here, there will be no need. Either way, I am willing to be as flexible as possible with anyone who selects my services. I am great at reading animal behavior, and will pick up on cues your animal gives me so that I can make sure they are more comfortable! I have only ever rescued dogs, so I am used to handling fearful dogs, and I have no problem giving them space! I will follow all specific instructions about feeding and potty times to ensure that both you and your pet have the best experience I can provide.
About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was little and have many years of experience. I'm currently a dog, cat, and turtle mom and would love to take care of your pets, too! I also have experience with high energy dogs, seniors, puppies, and giving medication. I have a flexible work schedule so I have a wide availability to take care of your pets. I am also available without much notice for last-minute requests. I have a fenced in yard with space for your pet to play if they are at my house. I can also take them for leashed walks around the neighborhood or to a particular area if requested.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Evanston on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Evanston. 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 Evanston.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
