About: I accept dogs, cats, and rodents (Rats, ferrets, ect)! I've taken care of all kinds of animals throughout the years, studying their body language and health signs to know and understand them, every animal is different and has their own personality, even then I've learned to connect with each through caring for them, training, and more! I'm currently very free! I don't have anything holding me back from being the best caretaker for your pets as I can be, I'm free every day of the week! I have a fenced yard and lots of toys and entertainment, though I am not currently looking to bring animals into my own home! In your home I can do my best work, letting out on a schedule, feeding at feeding times, playing and entertainment and any medications they may need! All animals are different, some may have different quirks or traits that need extra care or special routines that I can follow!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was in middle school starting with my own dogs. I eventually started volunteering at shelters which lead to working at shelters, rescues, and animal hospitals/ clinics. I can train dogs in basic skills such as “sit” or “paw.” I currently take care of my senior dog and young pup. I worked in a dog daycare of about 25-35 dogs per group and remembered everyone’s name as well as their personalities, likes and dislikes! I am an all around animal lover! I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups! I have a business on the side so I have a lot of open availability. I am open to taking your pets to parks or even playing with them in the comfort of their own home. I love cuddling with pets or even just being in the same room if they are not so cuddly.
About: We have always had pets growing up. Both cats and dogs. I've had a pit bull in my early teens and had also adopted a 10yr old senior dog. I have experience giving my senior medicine and being extra gentle when it is needed. I currently have a reactive German Shepherd so if you're looking for someone to watch your big dog that pulls a lot, I have tons of experience and am strong enough to hold him or her. Basically I have had experience with animals in different stages of their life. Im still learning as Odin has training classes and I use what I learn to help with other pets. I've watched pets for friends and family in the past and have done drop in visits for years now. I am able to travel further distances if you aren't able to find someone local just send a message. I do work full-time so I can come before or after work through out the week. I'm off two days out of the week and if you would like to schedule a weekly walk schedule or drop in visit I will work closely with you to make my schedule accommodating for your pet. Ex. If you would like a certain day or if the week for me to walk and visit your dog I can request those days off if far enough in advance. Currently I am not doing overnight visits or day care but it's important to keep pets on their original schedule. For drop-in visits and walks, I think it would be best to stick to their original route and if they don't yet have one, a walk with a nice game of fetch is usually good enough to tire them out a bit. I will always send pictures when your pet and I are on our adventures together.
“We are so grateful for the extra special care she gave our little pup! He had an accident in his crate, and she went above and beyond to not only clean up his crate, but also make sure Milo was cleaned up and comfortable. Despite the unexpected mess, she still took the time to take him outside, give him attention, and make sure he had a happy and cared-for day. It was clear that Milo was in such good hands. We couldn’t be more thankful for her kindness, patience, and genuine care for our pup. Highly recommend!”
“Tasha is very responsible and reliable. I appreciate her communication. She sends pics and I really like the map of the dogs walks. She is respectful of my requests and my home.”

About: I am 28 years old and I have experience taking care of 1 dog and 3 cats. I raised and trained him from a puppy and I would love to be able to help other families with their pet needs. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live across the street from a dog-friendly park and bike trail. As an avid dog lover, I will make sure your pet receives his/her adequate amount of exercise and play within a safe environment.
About: My mothers has had multiple dogs for as long as I can remember. I love caring for animals in all situations. I’ve taken care of teeny tiny babies and huge old dogs as well. From super hyper- to the laziest of dogs. I work from home and I have plenty of time to help you look after your babies. I’m home a majority of the time so this will be no problem. Plus I have my own fur baby that I’m taking care of anyway. I have a huge backyard that my dog loves to run around in( fenced of course). I also have a crate that I don’t use any longer but I can pull it out of storage if need be.
“She is absolutely wonderful patient and kind very attentive to my fur babies follow all instructions give them a full walk and report i love her I only book with her”
“We are so glad we found Stephanie! She has walked Luna for us a few times now. It's so nice to be out of town and know that our dog is completely taken care of. Thank you!”
“Gillian communicates well and answers my messages in a timely fashion. She is on time for her visits. My pup Ransom is usually hesitant the first few times around a new sitter, but warmed to Gillian and went on a walk with her no problem. Thank you.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have walked them, bathed them, cuddles , massages, gave medications you name it. I absolutely love the feeling and genuine love that dogs give so I protect and love them at all cost! A stay home wife with no children home currently, so I’m free a lot! Needing a new hobby I enjoy to consume my days now. I have small babies so the house is already baby proofed! Also can purchase whatever is needed to make them feel comfortable! Not big on dogs being in crates and cages but if that’s what your prefer that can be arranged as well! Long as the dog is comfortable I am happy!
About: I have an extensive history working and volunteering in the animal field. I’m currently an Animal Control Officer for a municipality. Thank you for giving me the amazing opportunity of caring for your dog or cat because I know they are one of the family. I currently am a senior in college in Bourbonnais and I also work weekends at a doggie daycare. I love spending time with all animals. I will provide whatever care you as an owner instruct me too, but of course I look forward to giving your pet lots of love
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
“Maraid did a wonderful job with my puppy Reggie. She played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk and spent a nice hour with him so that I could go to work and not leave him in a crate all day! I felt very comfortable with Maraid! She’s fantastic!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 10,606 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Glenwood. 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 Glenwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Glenwood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Glenwood. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
