About: I have lots of animals and lots of love. I am great with all animals and even insects, reptiles and more. I am local to Crete, Illinois. I work a remote job, full-time job, so I am extremely flexible with your needs. I take care of my cats bright and early and throughout the day. I practice proper training, obedience, proper health care, lots of love and more. I use this application to provide services and also book services for my pets as well, so I expect my care provider to give the same top notch care for my fur babies.

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

As for clients homes, I am capable of taking care of up to 5-7 animals at one time from experience. Care can look like oral medicine administration needs, basic grooming schedules, potty training clean-up, as many walks as needed, and even weighing out food/having specific foods per animal if necessary!

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better. My dogs are like my children, so I love to know when he arrives, leaves and filled the dog bowls with food and water. He was very attentive. I will gladly be rebooking in the future.

About: Today, I find myself fully committed to my artistry. and I love to have fur babies by my side to accentuate the space with their beauty. With that being said, a professional photoshoot of your dog will be INCLUDED for FREE when your fur baby stays with me! Let me send you home with some memories to frame and moments that’ll fill your heart with admiration. I grew up in a 4-sibling family home and always cared for dogs. I have had 2 rescued Poodles, 1 Terrier mix, 1 rescued Pitbull mix, 1 adopted Husky and an Akita. All have lived with us for either temporary housing or til the end of their amazing lives. I have had a passion for pets since a young age and the passion only grows as time moves without us. I work part time as a homecare provider and work remotely when running my business. I have plenty of time and love to give to your pup to ensure they feel safe and protected. I have a private, enclosed back porch and several rooms in my home with doors to separate spaces. There’s plenty of room for running and playing, as well as safe areas in the home to keep the babies out of trouble!

About: I hope to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while their beloved owner is away. I have plenty of experience with animals being I have grown up with various pets. Whether it is for 30 minutes or 4 days I plan to love your pets as if they were my own! I currently do not have any pets of my own but my roommate has a medium sized dog but if I’m pet sitting they most likely won’t be home. I am a very outgoing and energetic person, I also enjoy being outside a lot. I hope to bring your furry friend to one of the many dog parks nearby. I like all animals small or big and would love to spend some time with your furry besties! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me or message me on here! Talk soon! :) I just moved to the city so my schedule is all open but I plan on getting a part time or full time job in the future I allow pets on furniture and beds we also have lots of extra toys. I am fully capable of feeding, walking, and covering play time. I also can implement good behavior training (non professional) but just basic sit, stay, paw. Please let me know if you are not comfortable with me taking photos of your pup or kitty ( I like to use them for my profile to show my diverse set of ‘clientails’) but of course that is up to you :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Goodenow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 8,674 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Goodenow. 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 Goodenow. 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 Goodenow.

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 Goodenow. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
