“Gabriela was great with my dog! She was also super helpful when we had a last minute cancellation and she swooped into the rescue and really helped us out! I would recommend her to anybody!”
About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.
About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver. I’m a stay-at-home mom to two kids, ages 8 and 11. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I spent many years working at the Humane Society, where I gained extensive hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. I worked in a busy kennel environment with multiple dogs at a time, including dogs with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and difficult past experiences. I’m excited to be back on Rover after taking several years away to raise my two kids! Now that they’re both in school full time, I’m happy to have more time to get back to doing what I love, caring for animals. Our family has always been passionate about rescue animals. Over the past few years, we sadly lost our three senior rescue dogs and our senior rescue cat, all of whom were very loved members of our family. We now have one sweet, outgoing rescue cat, who is an important part of our family. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I believe in patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement, and I take the time to get to know each animal as an individual. I’m comfortable working with everything from energetic, playful pups to shy, nervous, senior, or special needs pets. What I Offer I’m home most of the day, so your pet will rarely be left alone while in my care. My schedule is also very flexible for walks and drop in visits. I offer: ● Dog walks ● Drop in/home visits ● Playtime and enrichment ● Feeding and fresh water ● Medication and special care routines when needed ● Plenty of attention, affection, and companionship Whether your pup needs a quick walk around the neighborhood, a longer adventure, some playtime, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! A Little About My Family My husband and I are huge animal lovers, and our pets have always been part of the family. Our two children have grown up around rescue animals and have learned to be gentle, respectful, and loving toward them. Our pets have always been treated as family with lots of walks, adventures, training, playtime, and plenty of love. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Working with animals is extremely rewarding for me! I’m home most of the day, so your pet will rarely be left alone while in my care. My schedule is also very flexible for walks and drop-in visits. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine and specific instructions carefully, while making sure they’re comfortable and secure. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and treat every pet like my own.

About: Dog owner for 17 years, cat owner my whole life. I’m very active love long walks and cuddles. I just lost my 15 year old dog so I’m familiar with senior care and we currently have a puppy so I’m dealing with that so I can handle anything. I work from home so I can do before work (early mornings), midday and afternoons. I can stop in for feedings and or walks. Maybe just cuddles if that’s needed. Fenced yard, 2 friendly dogs. I can stop by for feedings/walks. Very trustworthy mom of 3 grown children. My pups are my world and I know you feel the same about yours.
About: My wife, son and I have taken care of pets our entire lives. Currently, we have only one elderly cat with special medical needs. Recently retired, we would love to adopt a dog but our frequent travel (to visit grandchildren) makes that a challenge. That travel helps us understand the stress and anxiety of leaving a pet in the care of others. We enjoy walking and playing with dogs (and cats!) and enjoy being in our yard, which opens to a field in the back, perfect for fetch. We will fill the day with a lot of activity and attention in a safe and secure environment. We are home full time and will have plenty of opportunity for walks, play time and potty breaks. During the school year, but my wife and I are home... and in summer months, our young-adult son will help as well. We have a spacious yard but it is not fenced so we would keep your dog on a long leash while outside. At night, we can easily crate, depending on the pet-parents preferences.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Glendale Heights is $20
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.

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
