“Hayley was totally awesome!!! I would highly recommend her. We have 4 - yes 4 dogs - and she did an outstanding job. She was fantastic at our meet and greet any did a great job getting to know our “quirky” dog to ensure the comfort level for both of them. She followed instructions perfectly and communicated if there were any questions. But most importantly her truly kind spirit and loving nature is evident right a way. Our dogs loved her and so did we! You can tell that this job starts from her heart. She was beyond wonderful!!!”
“I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.”
About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
“Katherine is an excellent dog walker. My dog absolutely loves her, and she is always on time and does everything I’ve asked of her. Katherine gives me great peace of mind that my dog will be walked and played with when I’m at work all day.”
“Sheena was great and went above and beyond to make sure my fur kiddo was well taken care of. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away.”
“Wow Jonathon is amazing! He takes my dog on a walk every morning during the week. It gives me peace of mind knowing he is in good hands with him. Outstanding knowledge and experience second to None! Thanks for the great work my friend.”
“Awesome walker! Easy communication, on time, went above and beyond to make sure our pup was dried off and our home was tidy. Definitely will be using again!”
About: I am a dog lover who would love to watch over your pet while you’re gone. I have a house in Norwood Park where dogs have free range to roam about and a large fenced in backyard to explore. I am self employed and spend a good amount of time at home. I love dogs & want to use our space to welcome fun visitors! I am home most of the day & am able to let dogs outside & go for walks frequently. If I do need to leave, dogs have free range of the house to explore.
“Karina has been one of the top consistent walkers over the past year. Maisey simply adores her and we are blessed she is part of our routine. I would highly recommend her.”
“I had back to back bunionectomies & was unable to walk our dog while my husband was out of town. Patrick came & saved the day……excellent with our 85 pound Shepherd/Goldendoodle mix!! He went above & beyond!! So grateful definitely will be using Patrick again!!”
“Pat has a wonderful way with dogs. He’s always punctual and reliable, rain or shine. He’s so good I think he should have his own doggy daycare. My dog is usually very impatient to begin his walk at certain times of the day. But if I tell him Pat is coming, he sits by the window and waits very quietly and patiently until he arrives, and then lavishes Pat with all the affection reserved for his favorite friend. You can’t put a price tag on the way he looks up at Pat with adoring eyes. Highly recommended!”
About: I’m a pet loving individual here to help and protect your fur babies in your absence. My name is Cynthia and I currently have two cats, one beagle/hound dog, one hermit crab and a beta fish. I am patient, flexible, caring and have dog and cat training experience, since I grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds. I’m flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal and will treat your dog/cat like our own plus accommodate as necessary. I’m active and love going on dog walks or cat sitting and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. Happy to provide references. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of more than one pet. I’m also flexible either morning or evening works good for me. I have a big fenced yard and two crates (size small and medium) if needed. I also have a friendly dog who can play and keep your fur baby company.
“Erin was super accommodating and communicative about the scheduling of Caleb's walks. Her knowledge of dogs - especially rescue dogs - is fantastic and she helped us get Caleb ready to go tohis new adoptive home where he was going to need to be walked instead of having a yard like here. Caleb sat by the door waiting for her and came back tired and happy. If I could give more stars, I would! Will definitely use Erin for all of my foster dogs!”
“Michael was great with my 3 dogs and keeping my foster dog separate and taking him for a nice walk. He even sent me a photo. The dogs seemed to really like him! We will definitely be hiring him again! Thank you, Michael!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.
“Isaiah responded quickly to my last-minute request and was able to walk my dog, Molly, when needed. He did a great job and we would love to have him walk Molly again.”
About: I am a sound healer, wife, mother to my toddler and animals. My husband is a city of chicago worker and we love the chicago area :) We are very active and love to go on long walks and love being outside with our dogs! I absolutely adore cats and love to spend time feeding the feral cats in my neighborhood. In my spare time I also love to go to the local park with my daughter to watch the squirrels and birds. I love nature. I am good with all types of animals and they love me! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and some chickens in our backyard. Our dogs are very friendly and love making new friends whenever they can. I truly love watching and meeting new animals and enjoy this type of work. Your pet will love and I cannot wait to meet and take care of them. Please reach out so I can help you with your pet needs! My schedule is open and flexible. My sound healing job varies but typically does not get in the way of pet sitting/ dog walking. Most days I am at home with my toddler or we are out exploring the parks. We have many pets in our home that we care for. I love to work with lists to help me to ensure all tasks are completed and that I am organized.

Michelle walked my 5 month old puppy the last two nights and I’m so happy. I don’t get home from work until close to midnight so it’s so nice to not have to go for a long walk right now. The walk got her crazy nighttime energy out and now I’m able to catch up on love island comfortably on the couch instead of having to go on a long walk at 1am. Michelle sent some picture updates which was cool. I obviously will be booking again. Thanks for making my life easier.
Elizabeth was an amazing care taker of our dog Sammy. She was very friendly and always on time. She even gave him extra care when he was having tummy issues. She also took the cutest photos of him which really touched our hearts. I would highly recommend Elizabeth for her wonderful care taking services! Excellent job!
We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.
Erin is absolutely incredible!!! We have two amazing pups, one who is a nervous, recent rescue. Our newer girl was struggling with a different walker, snapping and growling at each visit. Within minutes of meeting Erin, our little lady had clearly welcomed Erin into the fold. Erin is helping our girl to settle into life and gain more confidence with each walk! I would recommend Erin to anyone!!!!
Suzy has such a gentle aura! Wally made himself right at home. She was great in sending updates and photos. Suzy also made a point to adjust to Wally’s schedule and his training needs; this was a major point for us when looking for a dog sitter. She is reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Harwood Heights on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 Harwood Heights. 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 Harwood Heights.

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 Harwood Heights. 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.
