About: I'm a current college student at Harper College looking to go into Veterinary Medicine. I've had some prior experience at Ness Exotic Vet Clinic as a Veterinary Intern. I've also worked as a dog breeder assistant and kennel tech helping to maintain kennels and provide daily care for the dogs. Most importantly, I love working with animals of all kinds and caring for them. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your furry companions! I am available Monday-Thursday anytime after 12pm. Fridays I’m free pretty much all day! I’m also available on the weekends to do drop in visits. I have plenty of experience with handling, walking, playing, and cleaning. Depending on what you and your pet need, I can offer different services to help make your life a little easier.
“My wife and I met Lauriel only briefly to introduce our dogs and cover their specifics and immediately knew she would be a great fit.. We are very happy to have met Lauriel and are excited to have her continue to help take care of our boys... Thank you for all the you do! - highly recommended based on: patience, warmness, reliability”
About: I have owned, raised and loved all kinds of dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personality types! Dogs have always been apart of my life and bring me so much happiness! I have trained my own dogs to walk on leash. I have also trained them to perform tricks such as shake, sit, lay down and “ready”. I have attended obedience classes with my own dogs and learned how to deal with behavioral problems such as overactive issues, jumping and potential aggression. For dog sitting I will ensure your dog or cat is safe, happy, and well cared for every time I come and visit. I would be so honored to come and walk or pet sit for you.
“Deepthi was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby. She sent me frequent updates and pictures. My dog warmed to her very quickly. I would use Deepthi again as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She was truly great.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 13 years, ever since I got my own pup. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets—walking, feeding, playing, and keeping them company while their owners were away. I truly love animals and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog that needs extra care, I’m attentive, patient, and always reliable. I’m a college student at USF, so I have classes Mondays and Wednesdays. However, my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m always open to working out the best way to take care of your pets! I’m very attentive and gentle with pets, always following your instructions. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for as if they were mine.
“Rena helped me out last minute when I needed a walker after a family emergency. She was quickly responsive and able to pick up the shift and I couldn’t have been more grateful!”
About: Hello! I’m Ashley, I’m a Licensed Veterinary Nurse in emergency medicine with over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I care for both dogs and cats. If you have exotics, I can care for them as well. I have experience working with animals of all ages, with a strong passion for senior care and supporting animals with special needs. Overnight Stays: Unless requested to stay full time in your home for house sitting, I do go home during the day to check on my animals, run errands, etc. My overnight hours are 5/6pm-8/9am unless otherwise discussed :) I work 3 nights a week at the ER, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you are comfortable with your kiddos being home at night to sleep during times I work, that is an option. For smaller pets I can always make it so they can hangout with me at work. I offer pet sitting over nights, drop ins, and walks. I cannot currently board at my home since I have my own pets, but will do whatever I can to make sure your family pets are safe and happy while in my care!
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little and grew up caring for family dogs long before having my own. Being around different breeds, personalities, and energy levels has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make dogs feel safe and comfortable. Now I care for my own dog, Bruce, who’s taught me even more about trust, consistency, and understanding dog behavior. I’ve spent a lot of time working on training, recall, leash manners, and reinforcing good routines with him, which has made me even more attentive and confident around dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, leash handling, and making sure dogs feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also understand how important reliability and communication are, so I’m always happy to provide updates and photos along the way. Spending time with dogs has never felt like a job to me — it’s something I’ve genuinely loved my whole life. I recently graduated from college and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Because I’m doing this full-time, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to give pets the time, attention, playtime, and companionship they need instead of rushing through visits. I’m also reliable with communication and happy to provide updates and photos so owners always feel comfortable and informed while they’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while in my care. I’m attentive during walks, careful with leash handling, and experienced around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Working with my own dog, Bruce, has also given me experience reinforcing leash manners, recall, and consistent routines, which has helped me become patient, observant, and confident around dogs. I keep a clean, calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, potty breaks, and comfortable places to rest. I also understand how important communication is when trusting someone with your pet, so I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and at ease while they’re away.
“Arsh was great with Zaza! I could tell as soon as he walked in that he was kind and caring. Zaza took to him immediately. Because I live in a neighborhood with no sidewalks, so that dogs have to be walked on the street, I had a fairly long list of "rules" to follow in order to keep Zaza safe from vehicles (and actually having to think through these motivated me to up my own game). Also because of having to walk in the street, I asked him to wear several forms of LED lighting after dark. He immediately understood and each time he walked her, he made sure that all of these precautions were followed. He was on time for every walk and always very congenial. I absolutely would recommend Arsh as a dog walker.”
About: I grew up with pets my whole childhood and since moving out, I’ve adopted a cat and a dog. I’m great with animals and I have watched the pets of my friends and family many times. I know pets tend to miss their owner when they’re away, so I try to give them as much attention as possible to make them comfortable and happy while also sending the owner updates on their furry friend. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable with both large and small pets and enjoy taking them on walks, no matter the size! I went through obedience training with many of my animals so I know how to handle them in many situations and moods. I’m also a certified nursing assistant so poop and vomit don’t bother me and I have no problem cleaning it up! I’d love to watch any pet, especially yours :) I have two jobs but I tend to have more availability during the week than the weekend. I prefer to have at least a day’s notice so I can confirm my availability We have several pets so I’m more comfortable doing drop in visits rather than bringing animals into my home. I’m great when it comes to cleaning up after pets while still allowing them to play and get their energy out while you’re away
About: My parents close friends/family members and even some of my best friends have trusted me to watch overnight their pets such as dogs and cats,etc and along with boarding them at our house as the owners were out of town. I have lots of personal experience with my own pets, along with experience with dog watching and walking dogs outside my family dog. I grew up living with dogs and have always had a passion for animals and would love to be able to take care of peoples furry friends. I have a part time job currently so weekdays would be best since some shifts I get off in the afternoon so most evenings I’m free so if I know in advanced when people need me that would be great to work around my schedule. Some mornings I am also free. We have a big back yard but it does not have a fully fenced in yard due to our garage but it is safe and we have a leash to attach dogs too so they can be safe while also roaming in the yard. We also have a dog bed too. Not many toys because our dog is getting older but we can provide treats if needed and make sure they have everything they need. They will also have a furry companion which is our dog Bella. Whenever I watch a dog at someone else’s home I make sure to check and see what instructions they leave for me, make sure they are fed and let outside, and also make sure they are played with.
“I can't say enough about how reliable and friendly Evelyn is. She has been walking our dog for months now and has never missed a walk. She is extremely dependable and very very easy to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking!!”
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, nice to meet you! My daughter and I are long time pet lovers and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I'm relatively new to Rover and have only had a few clients so far, but I am not new to the pet scene. My daughter and I have been volunteering with a local dog rescue for 5 years as handlers and fosters and we have also volunteered for 2 of our local cat shelters / rescues for about as long - cleaning and helping to socialize the cats, as well as doing some local trap and rescue and fostering as well. I have helped take care of small exotic birds of all sorts, from socializing, to changing and caring for cages, food, water etc and even helping to feed newly hatched birds. As a teen, I volunteered at a local camp and helped care for the animals there, from lizards to ferrets to Guinea pigs. Needless to say, I love animals and will care for yours as if they are my own. We have dogs and cats at home and safety is is our biggest priority (along with making sure that everyone's needs are met - social, emotional, physical and otherwise) If you intend on booking a stay, please let me know if your dog or cat is pet (dog and cat) and child friendly. Please let me know if there are any issues with gaurding, anxiety, reactivity, handling, accidents, toy obsession or anything else that might be important to know or watch out for, as it is important to me to keep your pets and mine safe and free from incidents. Please let me know what works best for you and your family and so we can determine together if it's a good fit. I want you AND your pet to be comfortable and will do my best to accommodate for their care. It can be stressful for pets to be away from home andI want to minimize in that as much as possible! I live in an apartment, so space can be limited. Because of this, I only book one client at a time and will turn off my availability to new clients if I have a new repeating client, as I like to take time to get to know each pet that comes in our home especially if they will be returning often. Both of my dogs are friendly and great with new dogs, they love to play and help provide lots of exercise for new friends! We have shelves on the walls for the cats, if they'd prefer to be away from the dogs, and a special space that is off limits to the dogs, so the cats have a place to relax if they don't want to be bothered.
“Zoe has been so great and reliable. I have a 4 month old puppy & was worried about how anyone new would handle her energy level but Zoe took on the challenge and was so wonderful. Would definitely recommend her for any dog of any age.”
About: Hello! My name is Michele and I would love to take care of your dog. I have grown up with dogs for most of my life. I love animals of all kinds, and I understand how important it is for your furry friend to be treated like one of the family. I work as a teacher full-time, but I can be available as early as 4 and as late as 10 or 11 during the school year to make sure your dog gets the care he or she needs. During the summer, I am free anytime! I would be happy to dog-sit, take walks and/or runs, and, of course, play with your dog! I’m also available for care on weekends! I will ensure that your dog gets the best possible care and endless amounts of playtime!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoffman Estates
Sana has been fantastic taking care of my dog Rocky. He was sick the first day she started working for us and she communicated quickly, alerting me to what was going on, and followed up on his wellbeing. Fortunately, he's recovered, and Sana continues to care for him. I really appreciate her loving care for my fur baby.
Kace did a great job as our dog walker. She communicated well throughout and followed all instructions exactly as given. She handled both of my dogs with no issues, including my larger pitbull, which I really appreciated. She also made sure they were fed, had fresh water, and were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and I felt confident leaving them in her care. I would definitely recommend Kace for future walks.
Jackie is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about using/trusting rover since it was my first time using any kind of dog walking app. We did a meet and greet and she was fantastic with my two elderly boys. She was extremely gentle and let them take their time to feel her out. She sent pics and a really detailed note when taking them for their walk, which made my day! She really eased my anxiety. Overall, a great person. So happy I found her!!
We had a wonderful experience with Alina. She’s professional, thorough and handled our dog Nitchky’s routine perfectly. We really appreciate the detailed report cards after each visit. She genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend.
Arsh was great with Zaza! I could tell as soon as he walked in that he was kind and caring. Zaza took to him immediately.

Thank you so much for your flexibility & accommodating my last minute request before my trip! I truly felt no worries while you were walking them, and knew each day they would get their exercise and go to the bathroom on their walks which gave me such relief. Wonderful to work with, will absolutely book again in the future with Oriana!! She is the best and I could tell my dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hoffman Estates 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 13,487 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hoffman Estates. 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 Hoffman Estates. 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 Hoffman Estates.

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 Hoffman Estates. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
