So great to have Kristina look after our pets again. She went above and beyond. Super trustworthy and even took care of a busted fire alarm while we were away to make sure our animals were happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like a member of my own family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm experienced with puppies and can reinforce basic training, potty schedules, crate training, and positive behaviors through consistency and patience. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets, including administering oral medications, accommodating mobility challenges, and providing the extra attention and gentle care they need. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special requirements, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently a college student so I can provide pet care before and after classes. I am also free every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Most people see a cute, silly, playful baby, but we see that AND personality! Every animal has their own language, their own stories, and their own little world, and our job is to learn that world to help them feel safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. Our names are Kaeli and Will, and we’re a young husband and wife animal care duo with years of hands-on experience working with peoples’ four-legged (or no-legged, two legged, or 6+ legged!) family members. We’ve worked professionally together in daycare, boarding, kennel care, and canine behavior environments, caring for hundreds of dogs with all different personalities, needs, and temperaments. Our experience includes: working with puppies learning the world around them, senior dogs needing extra patience and accommodations, large breeds and high-energy dogs, shy, anxious, fearful, and behaviorally complex dogs, and dogs requiring medication and specialized care. Through the years, we’ve gained a great deal of knowledge on animal behavior, body language, positive reinforcement techniques, enrichment, and creating safe interactions based on each animal’s comfort level. We understand that trust is earned, not forced. Our care experience also extends beyond dogs; we share our home with three cats, a large dog, and reptiles. We understand that every species communicates differently, and requires careful attention to their unique environment. We don’t just have professional experience though, in our younger years we each pet/ house sat whenever a family friend or neighbor needed the assistance. We are experienced with walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, feeding routines, refreshing water, enrichment, cleanup, oral medications and subcutaneous injections (between the shoulder blades), basic pet care needs and house-sitting tasks, cats who need patience and trust, and reptiles, amphibians, and other unique family critters! Our passion is getting to know WHO your animal is, so when you leave your sweet little baby with us, you have peace of mind knowing they are being cared for by people who notice the little things! We also have experience with some light grooming as well: baths, brush outs, nail trims (with a dremel and clippers), teeth brushing, and ear cleaning, so if you or your dog has a favorite shampoo, a preferred brush, or doesn’t mind a little nail trim, we can assist there as well! My husband and I are recently unemployed in the attempt to become self employed, so we have a completely open schedule and unlimited time to care for your pet needs! We are available for late night, overnight, frequent drop-ins, daily walks, and longer stays during the day. At our own home, we have a two bedroom duplex with a huge fenced in backyard that our big, goofy Pyrenees mix, Unagi, loves to patrol and hang out in several times a day. We also have lots of cat toys and towers/ scratching posts for our three cats to explore, play with, and have ultra fast paced races all around the house! In client’s homes, we conduct ourselves with the utmost respect, integrity, and professionalism- ensuring we follow all guidelines and expectations. If we were to have any comments, questions, or concerns we would let the client know with clear and respectful communication. In the case we would be spending the night or making late night visits, we would ensure a quiet and calm environment, taking into consideration any neighbors or sensitivities your pet in our care may have, and making sure your home is treated with the utmost dignity. This is YOUR space, and we want to help you have the most relaxing peace of mind you can achieve!

About: Our dog of 14 years passed in 2024 and our dog of 2 years passed Dec 2025. We arent ready for a permanent new fur baby, but our hearts long to love on yours! Our kids love to run around in the backyard to wear your rambunctious puppies out! We also have experience in administering medications to animals and being gentle to older animals. I am a stay at home mom! Pet care easily fits into my day and nights. I am free to care for pee training puppies as well as needy older dogs. Animals have free reign of our house as we love them to snuggle on the couch with us! However, if your rules and training requires otherwise, we respect and honor that!

About: I want to be involved in dog walking and pet sitting because I have loved dogs my whole life. I grew up with a dog from the time I was five years old, and that dog became my best friend. Being around dogs makes me happy, calm, and full of joy. Because of that, I would love to help take care of other people’s dogs too. I understand that owning a pet can sometimes be stressful and time-consuming, and I want to be someone others can trust to give their dogs love, attention, and care when they need extra help. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am currently in college and have gaps between my classes with a lot of free time. Instead of wasting that time, I wanted to use it to do something I truly enjoy. Dog walking and pet sitting are a great fit for my schedule because they are flexible and easy to plan around my classes. I also come home often during the holidays, which gives me even more availability during those times. This makes me reliable and consistent when families need extra help with their pets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I take dogs on walks, play with them, clean up after them, and make sure they feel loved while their owner is away. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care and respect as my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors relied on me to let their dogs out while they were gone! I prioritize pet care and love to make sure the doggos get plenty of exercise and stay healthy! Give me the cat food recipe and I'll mix it. I leave everything as I found it when pet sitting in house and ensure that your fur babies have a safe and fun time! I send lots of cute pictures so that you can have plenty of cute updates to share with family, friends and coworkers.

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.

About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Usually when a friend or family member leaves town, I am always the first person they call. I have been an avid pet lover for as long as I can remember. Some might call me an animal whisperer. I have volunteered at the Sugar Land animal shelter where I walk, fed and cleaned the dogs or cats there. I am currently just taking some classes that can be completed on my own time and thus have an open availability. My schedule remain open throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with all the different pets I come in contact with. I always try to create any environment where it is enjoyable for the animal and a connection can be made with each encounter.

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Joliet

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 4,364 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Joliet. 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 Joliet. 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 Joliet.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 Joliet. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
