“WOW Peggy H did a great job with Opie. Neighbor's actually made a point to let me know they saw her walking Opie and were very impressed. Opie can be high energy and easily excitable but my neighbor noted that Peggy responded effectively both firm and kind. Peggy arrived within my time requests, followed all instructions regarding food/water etc. and even made sure Opie did not track anything inside. Highly recommend and would and will use again in the future.”

About: I am a kennel technician at my local shelter and a current animal science student at the University of Illinois. I love all dogs and cats, especially those who need a little extra help! I’ve had great pet sitters for my past dog and would love to pass that on. I work part-time at the shelter currently. This is like my other part-time job. I am very flexible in my schedule and can most likely work around your schedule. I have two brothers in my home that also love animals. My dog also loves to have company. I do not have a fence, but I do have a large field and long tie-outs that I supervise the dogs on.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I am a school psychologist and very in tune with animals and people and have a passion for taking care of others, especially dogs. I believe dogs truly make a house a home. I am off for the summer so have all day to take care of your pet. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and would love to spend my summer with your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard. I have three teenage pet lovers who will also shower your dog with attention. I enjoy walking your dog if that is something your pet likes to do. I have a safe neighborhood with trails nearby. I will always be interested in your pet's personality. For example how they get along with other dogs and humans and I will always have their best interest in mind. I work full time but am off during the summer so I have plenty of time to play with your dog. During the school year I am not home from 7:30- 3:30 Monday - Friday. Howeyour family loves weekend visitors. I have a fenced in yard so your dog can play outside. I would like them to bring their own bed or crate so they feel secure at night.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs in veterinary clinics, doggie daycares, and grooming salons. Dogs have always been one of my greatest passions. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're a goofy puppy, an energetic adventure buddy, a shy rescue, or a senior who prefers a slower pace. One of my favorite parts of this work is building trust with dogs and watching them become excited to see me. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog enjoys a structured walk, extra sniffing time, playtime, or simply companionship during the day, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs. When your dog is with me, they're not just another appointment on my schedule—they're a member of the family. My most recent job with dogs was at a daycare for several years. I supervised dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This experience gave me extensive knowledge of canine body language, play styles, and behavior. I learned how to safely manage group interactions, recognize early signs of tension, and help dogs remain comfortable and successful in social environments. In my free time, you'll usually find me out walking with my own dogs, taking my kids to their activities, discovering new music, or learning about native plants and wildlife! My current schedule includes dog walking, volunteering at an animal shelter, and taking care of my two wonderful sons. Thursdays are a busy day with activities with them so those days are currently closed for my schedule. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and some Fridays are available to book. I am comfortable with whatever instructions you give me and what your preferences are whether it be letting them out in your yard, sitting down and hanging out with them, letting them sniff around, or taking them for a more structured walk.

About: I have about eight years of experience caring for friends' and clients' pets when they are moving or on vacation. I have a very open schedule and my lines for communication are very open. I live in a condo in Oak Lawn and own my own car meaning I have reliable transportation to any of the surrounding areas, if required for your needs. Pets seem to make themselves right at home even if they haven't been there before. I love long walks and don't mind laying around the house or jumping up and going out every hour depending on the pet's needs or desires. I am friendly and pets seem to warm up to me quickly. I have a knack for anticipating a pet's needs and go to whatever lengths I need to keep them safe and happy. I'm lucky enough to be able to mold my schedule around your pet's schedule. So whatever walking and feeding routine you have them on I can easily adjust to fit their needs. I follow every detail the pet parent leaves me to the letter. Even if your pet needs me to spin around 3 times and pretend to microwave his/her food or ACTUALLY has food that needs to be microwaved! I make sure to review instructions with the client the day of so we both feel comfortable that we are on the same page and their fur baby is getting the best care.

“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!”

About: I have owned a pup for 13 years and taught him how to be the best behaved dog at home - not to mention, I give the best doggy hugs and kisses :) My Fiance and I work from home all week so it’s usually not common for any dogs to be left alone. I give them all of my attention, and assure you are updated with all my pupdates!! I make sure to give them enough time outside, feed them, hydrate them, and of course give them unconditional love! Currently work from home and a very flexible job so I am able to provide most attention towards your pup and in general I have a lot of free time I got on multiple walks every day, I prefer walks over letting them out for potty breaks in a fenced yard. Getting their energy out on a long walk always calms them down a bit more throughout the day and I ensure they get all attention throughout the day :)

About: I've had dogs my whole life, helped with training, and often would dog and house sit for friends and family. I've attended several dog training courses with some of my own dogs, as well as researching and practicing on my own. I've helped a close friend and my sister do basic training with their own dogs. I also have 2 cats, and am careful to adjust treatment of all my animals to their personality and needs! I am available Mon/Tues/Saturday. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday with advanced notice. I am only available Sundays and/or Fridays upon request and with at least 3 weeks notice. I currently work part time in the service industry and am getting ready to go back to school for a career change. My schedule is mostly flexible, but I do have a commitment to my other job as well. I'm happy to work with anyone who needs me during unavailable days, don't be afraid to ask and we can see if we can work it out! My dog is not dog friendly, so I do not do any care at my residence. However, it means I am experienced with dogs who need a bit more awareness in their care than others! I'm attentive and firm, and am willing to go for a 2 hour hike or rest in the house depending on their needs.

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 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
