“Margaret was great and easy to work with. I made a last minute request and thankfully she was able to help. She made sure my dog had fresh clean water when she left and took great care of him!”
“I recently adopted a rescue who is having a hard time adjusting to new people. Kathryn did a great job with him! Despite him growling at her she was patient with him and helped him calm down so she could walk him. She was reliable and understanding. I then asked her if she could come again last minute and without hesitation she agreed! I would definitely work with Kathryn again!”
“Charlotte took my little Shih Tzu on a walk this weekend and did a FANTASTIC job. She was super patient with my dog and really listened to my dog's cues. Charlotte is absolutely amazing with animals. There's no one I would trust more than Charlotte with my dog. I hope and plan to use her in the future when I'm in Chicago visiting my mother-in-law. I would highly recommend her!”
“Desiree was amazing! She organized a meet & greet and I was able to walk her through my pets routine. She took notes & was in communication with me while I was away. I will definitely book again.”

I can do night care and weekends while you are away and base my time around animal care is needed I will follow all the rules and ensure your pet is safe within your home and care for them as they are my own pet
“Great experience from the start. Immediately received friendly response from Bentley. Definitely a professional who knows the right questions to ask and make you feel comfortable that they have the skills you need.”
About: I've worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility where I cleaned, fed, bathed, and medicated dogs of all kinds. Friends and family know that I'm their go-to pet/housesitter. I've had three dogs in my life, one after the other, so I've never been without a furry companion. I've even had strangers tell me that I have a welcoming and open aura when it comes to animals. I would love to meet your fur baby <3 I am currently working a full-time job on 2nd shift, from 3 pm - 12 am on weekdays. Looking to go back to school soon and earn my master's. I feel good with adapting to new environments and agree with the choice of keeping the pet where they are most comfortable, their home. My family and I did the same. I'm very particular and overly sensitive when it comes to people going through my stuff ( for example, like in a dorm room), so I respect people's homes and their belongings.
“Katie was so easy to communicate with from the moment we sent the dog walk request - even finding a time to do a video call beforehand :) We are so thankful that we found Katie to take care of Parker. We would definitely use her again!”

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 .

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 Goodings Grove. 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 Goodings Grove.

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 Goodings Grove. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
