About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and needs! I also have experience caring for felines and chinchillas! I am experienced in administering medications! I currently work from home but am available for short potty breaks in the Lombard area! Also available nights and weekends! I can also do house sitting! I have worked with people who have fenced in back yards and people who do not and utilize leads and am comfortable with either. I like to watch potty breaks, even if the yard is fenced in to making sure nothing is ingested outside!
“Our dogs loved Carly! She seemed to really care about the specifics of our dogs' needs. They have some special needs so we worry about leaving them with other people-but Carly put us at ease. She was on time, asked questions, took the cutest pictures, and sent us a detailed report to say how the visit went. Our pups can't wait to see Carly again!”
“Beth was an amazing pet sitter for a weekend that we were out of town! She was always on time, sent amazing pictures, and exactly followed the care instructions. We can home to very happy and healthy animals.”
“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!”
About: I have owned a cat/cats, for over 40 years. I have cared for and loved them more than they know. I love having animals in my life. I am a retired veterinary technician so you have no worries. I’m a newer dog owner. Charley is only my second dog but I have been around dogs since I was a child. Once again I have vet tech experience so I can help you not worry while you’re away. I am a homemaker and have all the time in the world to love your babies. Please give me the opportunity to spoil your little ones. I feed my babies twice daily and love them all day. I would gladly do the same for you. My time is yours to utilize.
“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”
About: Ever since I was 17 I’ve been taking care of dogs from family friends to school friends! Ive had over 7 dogs of my own and have trained most of them with my brothers help! I do work at an animal hospital so I’m qualified to give medications as well as being able to notice and take care of minor medical situations like digestive issues. I’m able to give nail trims and do eat and eye cleanings do to my experience with my 3 Maltese and I’m able to handle bigger breed dogs with a lot of energy since I have had several pit bulls and retrievers! I’m always keeping parents updated since I know how much we miss our fur babies! Very open to accommodations! I’m currently working at the animal hospital during the mornings on weekdays and some weekends but I’m always able to switch shifts around if necessary :) When at your home I will make sure your pet feels safe around me and doesn’t feel like I’m Intruding in its home! (Please feel free to leave me notes on your pets personality so I can better adjust the way I interact/play with them to make them feel as comfortable as needed!)

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old, and I’ve cared for 6 dogs over the years. My first dog was a Golden Retriever named Rambo ❤️ I currently have 2 dogs Buddy and Duke that stay with my mom. I’ve also had experience with senior dogs, including helping dogs with hip problems and adjusting their care as they got older. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and understanding their personalities, whether they want to play, go for walks, or just relax and have some company. My main job is part-time, which gives me flexible availability throughout the week. I’m generally available on weekdays, especially during mornings and afternoons, and can often accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, fresh water, exercise, and a clean environment. Their safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale Heights
We have been lucky enough to have Ashley multiple times and will continue to use her as our walker in the future. We also recently needed help with only a few hours notice and she swooped in and saved the day. 10/10 She is very communicative, my dog loves her and her commitment to getting good pictures of my guy is unmatched! It makes my heart happy knowing he is having fun and I know in good hands when I’m working.
Clarissa provided excellent care for our senior bichpoo while we were away on our summer vacation. She is dependable, kind, bright, very responsive, and conscientious in her attention to my requests/instructions for taking care of our Butterscotch. Knowing our beloved canine family member was in excellent hands while we were away provided a calm without measure. I would highly recommend Clarissa for all of your pet care needs. 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Glendale Heights on Rover is $20.33 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 13,829 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Glendale Heights. 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 Glendale Heights. 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 Glendale Heights.
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 Glendale Heights. 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.
