“John was wonderful with both our dogs! He was on time, got to know them first, and won them over very quickly. Even our older dog who is very skittish took to John immediately for a walk this week. Would highly recommend!”
“Veronika came to the rescue on very short notice. She handled my very timid chihuahua mix without any difficulty. She arrived right on time, sent photos of each walk with my dog and demonstrated an understanding of my dog's needs with much warmth. I found her to be a trustworthy and capable. I would hire her again without hesitation.”
“Ryann is conscientious, thorough and friendly. Our Border Collie loves her! She takes her on lovely walks and gives me a thorough report afterwards. She was great even when it was pouring rain ! We'll be asking her back frequently!”
About: Since the day I was born I’ve been surrounded by animals. Everything from chickens and ducks to cats and dogs to even reptiles!! I’ve always been trusted to watch the animals because I believe animals love me as much as I love them!! I currently attend online school so I am free 100% of the time to help. Let me know if I can help with your fur baby! I live in an apartment with a small back yard, but my courtyard is very grassy and open with plenty of room for your pup to run around. I have a cat named Haven and she’s fed twice a day. She is good with dogs but does take awhile to warm up to them
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet.

I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently help care for a French Bulldog, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding, and just keeping them happy and comfortable. I really enjoy being around dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and will treat your dog like my own while you’re away. I am home full time so my schedule is pretty flexible, I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what you need. I also can accept last minute availability! I can work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and play time. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and at home, whether I’m in your space or mine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs so they feel safe and relaxed. I’ll stick to your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and anything specific your pet needs. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure they’re getting the care and attention they deserve.

About: Long term dog owner and cat lover, have taken care of my dogs since I was 12 years old. Have two cavapoo dogs one 7 and one 13, so I have experience with senior dogs. I only Rover when I have a fully open schedule, so I ensure that I will be able to provide full attention and care to your pet. I was often the one in my family to take care of our dogs during the summer, and I ensure that they have full attention and all needs are met including food, bathroom, entertainment etc.

Current home-from-college student looking for extra work with open availability during the week for dog walks, pop-ins, and house sitting anytime after 9am.

“Morgan and John were lifesavers taking our chompy little puppy for a nice long walk to burn some energy in the middle of the day when we had to return back to work full time. We’ll definitely be using them again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with big dogs, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, energetic personalities, and dogs that need structure, exercise, and attention. Back home, I regularly dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routines. I’ve also lived with cats, so I understand their personalities too — from playful and social to independent and observant. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, which gave me valuable hands-on experience with animal handling, administering medications, and recognizing when something might be off. I currently volunteer at the Bloomington Animal Shelter and have experience as a wildlife rehabilitator, both of which have made me especially patient, attentive, and calm in all kinds of situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a steady, reassuring presence, I’m happy to provide safe, reliable, and loving care! My availability is: • Monday: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM, 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Tuesday: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Wednesday: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Friday: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM • Saturday: 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM • Sunday: 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM I currently do not have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide a calm, low-stress environment and give your pet my full attention. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and safe, with plenty of space for a crate if needed, as well as room for pets to comfortably explore and relax. I also have convenient access to multiple dog parks and safe walking areas, making it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of routines, instructions, and household preferences. I aim to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule, whether that involves walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship. My priority is always creating a safe, secure, and stress-free experience for both pets and owners.
About: I am an incoming vet student and have worked and surrounded myself with animals my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked with vets, and was a dog handler and a doggie daycare over the past few summer years. I have experience with cat, dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles, and more. I love hiking and spending time outside as well, so hikes with dogs are more than welcome! I currently am only working an internship three days a week, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry, scaly or slimy friends! I also don’t work weekends at all so my availability if wide open! When working with animals in they’re own homes, I think it’s important to understand you’re coming into their space and to work slowly to earn their trust!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them! I currently have an 8-year-old pug who’s a beloved member of the family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and gentle care. I understand how important it is to give each dog the attention, love, and routine they’re used to, and I treat every pup like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy incorporating dogs into my everyday life. I love going on long walks and having a furry companion by my side, whether we're exploring the neighborhood or just relaxing on the couch for some snuggles. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve throughout the day. I strive to create a home environment that is safe, comfortable, and stress-free for dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and part of the family. I also place a strong emphasis on healthy, nutritious eating and always follow the pet parent’s guidance when it comes to diet and feeding routines. Every dog has unique needs, and I do my best to meet them with kindness, attention, and consistency.
“She is absolutely amazing! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates quickly and clearly, and always prioritizes safety. I really appreciate how she reinforces our dog’s training and handles dogs with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely and feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have a 6 year old frenchie myself and grew up watching my neighbors, friends, and families dogs as well as volunteering at my local humane society! I work part time in the mornings until 10:00 but am typically available om the afternoons and evenings. I will be constantly updating my schedule so make sure to take a look!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hinsdale
Veronika came to the rescue on very short notice. She handled my very timid chihuahua mix without any difficulty. She arrived right on time, sent photos of each walk with my dog and demonstrated an understanding of my dog's needs with much warmth. I found her to be a trustworthy and capable. I would hire her again without hesitation.
Ana has always done an amazing job caring for my fur baby, Dakota. I’ve worked with her locally many times and was so excited to see her join Rover to continue growing her dog‑sitting career. Ana truly cares about the animals she works with and always takes the time to listen and understand what each pet needs. Dakota is not an easy dog to care for, between her cancer‑related medical needs and her reactive fear of other dogs and children, she can be complicated to leave in someone else’s care. Ana has always risen to these challenges and made us feel completely at ease trusting Dakota with her. This year, we went on a two‑week vacation to Italy, and Ana stayed in our home to care for Dakota the entire time. Not a single walk or medication was missed, and Dakota was loved and cared for as if she were Ana's own pet. I will always trust Ana with Dakota’s care and would confidently trust her with any pets we have in the future. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hinsdale on Rover is $27.75 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 13,469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hinsdale. 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 Hinsdale. 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 Hinsdale.

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 Hinsdale. 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.
