About: Ever since I was young, I've shared my life and heart with feline companions, embracing the joy and unconditional love that comes with being a dedicated cat owner. My journey as a passionate pet enthusiast took an even more delightful turn when, five years ago, I welcomed an adorable bunny into my life, creating a bond that added a new dimension to my love for animals. From the tender days of nurturing tiny kittens to the sweet moments of watching my furry bunny hop around playfully, the experience has been nothing short of heartwarming.. Im a fulltime video editor and videographer so I work from home most of the time. im typically available in the mornings and late afternoons I have a 3 story house as well as a nice size yard in the back of my house for the pets to play in
“Danielle went very much out of her way to give Nala a walk this past week- we had a scheduled 30 minute visit and while we were away she experienced car trouble- without bailing or asking if someone else could step in she went out of her way to Uber to and from our home just to make sure Nala was taken care of. I’m so happy we found Danielle- thank you so much again for going above and beyond.”
“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”
“Courtney is an exceptional dog walker! I needed someone last minute for my dog leia and Courtney was happy to accommodate and very easy to work with. I’ll definitely hire her again!”
“I am a helicopter dog mom so Sean is the only one I will let watch over our baby girl if we can’t get home on time! We live on 25 acres with active wildlife, open spaces, and wandering hikers so it takes a very special person to be able to handle all of this and keep an eye on our girl’s safety simultaneously. He has a calm demeanor and he is extremely knowledgeable. He eased my worries and concerns. He is kind and meets my high expectations of who I want interacting with my dog. Highly recommend if you’re as picky as I am about who spends time with our girl!”
“Thank you so much Molly! What a life saver you have been. Your kindness and punctuality is greatly appreciated. Your help during my recovery has been a God sent. Mercedes was so anxious seeing me in recovery. She has calmed down so much. Mercedes is very shy and she is so comfortable with you. Recovery has been hard but my little girl has gotten TLC and her walks have made everything go smoother. You are the Best!!”
“I re-booked Shanon for an evening walk for an entire week. My dog is always so happy to see Shannon. If I need help in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Shannon to re-book her again.”
About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
“Hadiya is great! She’s amazing with her high level of care, consideration, and attention to detail! I’m really glad to be working with her! My dogs love her 🫶🏾”
“Yoel was great as always! He always sends us photos of our pets to set our minds at ease. This visit he was even able to win over our pathologically shy, anxious cat and we were so relieved that she got some affection while we were gone. Yoel always seems to really enjoy our pets, which is a great feeling for us now that we have our hands full traveling with a baby.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life coming from animal loving parents and always surrounded by them. I love to watch and play with many different types of animal and always do my research. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with all the animals! I’m available to walk dogs anytime after 12pm on weekdays and boarding on weekends I have an open yard for dogs to run around in and have 2 of my own dogs which are very friendly and will give them many potty breaks and free time outdoors
About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I have been caring for pets around my neighborhood for about two years. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I have 2 years of hands on experience providing dedicated pet care through pet sitting for my neighbors and friends. My responsibilities have included caring for dogs, cats, and small animals of various breeds and temperaments. I follow detailed care instructions provided by each pet owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and special dietary needs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention every day. I do also work part time on certain days. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I begin by gathering detailed information about each pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical history, and behavior. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I respect their space by maintaining cleanliness and ensuring all areas accessed by the pet remain secure and organized. I monitor the pet closely, engage them in appropriate physical and mental activities, and provide companionship to ensure they feel safe and cared for. Whether at home or on-site, I am attentive, patient, and responsive to each animal’s unique needs, always aiming to create a nurturing and trustworthy environment.
About: I have 4 years of volunteer experience at my local animal shelter caring for cats and walking, feeding, and socializing a variety of different breeds of dog. I had a wonderful pitbull named Lucy for 3 years and I have an adorable domestic shorthair named Fate. I’m a great communicator, trustworthy, and lover of animals. I have a fully remote position that is very flexible. This provides me plenty of time to support your pet at various times and tend to their specific needs. I care for pets exclusively in the owners home where your pet will feel the most safe. I follow the advice and instructions of all pet parents and treat all people, homes, and pets with care and respect.
About: I usually connect well with dogs and kids I think I have a kindness with them that most people dont. I have owned a dog-walking business with my brother when we were kids. It consisted of us walking and watching dogs for the neighbors. It also showed me how to run a business and how to make my customers happy. Careful, professional dog walking demands technical skill, physical stamina, and in-depth knowledge of everything from dog behavior to pet first aid to knowing and understanding city laws. I think it is a wonderful oppurtunity for me to connect with animals again and show them there is love for them. they are such a huge part of our lives they deserve to be treated with care.

Courtney was amazing. I booked her on short notice. She canceled her appointment which was completely unnecessary to come in. Dogs hit my dog. She was professional and was sweet and loving to my puppy. She was confident and took charge, which is exactly what we needed. I will hundred percent use her again and I hope that you guys use her services. Your pet would be thankful that you set up an appointment with Courtney.
Thank you! You took great care of my two dogs, and accommodated my changes in schedule with ease. I so appreciate your flexibility, your punctuality, and how you checked in with me about the heat and my one dogs resistance to a walk. Thank you! I will definitely use you again.
I highly recommend Alexys for your pet care needs! I’ve been working with her for about a month, and she has quickly become one of my most trusted, go-to sitters. She is incredibly professional, kind, and communicates effectively, which I truly appreciate given my busy schedule. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of my dog; I can see how comfortable my pup is with her, and the frequent updates during bookings give me complete peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!
Overall good experience with Caitlin. My primary factor is how my dog responds and interacts with a walker. My dog seemed to be comfortable with Caitlin during the meet and greet...when I got home from my day trip he was a happy pup! Communication on the lead up and for the walk was good.

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 Fern Rock. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Rock. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
