“Olivia has been wonderful with Bear and Bella! She’s only walked them a couple of times so far, but I’m already very happy with her. She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job with both of them. I feel very comfortable having them in her care and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”

About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! ❤️ I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves a long walk, prefers a leisurely stroll with lots of sniff breaks, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! 🐶 Why choose me? ✨ 15 years of dog experience ✨ Comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities ✨ Safety and your pup’s comfort always come first ✨ Lots of patience, playtime, and cuddles ✨ Reliable communication and updates for pet parents ✨ I treat every dog like they’re my own I want every walk to be more than just exercise—it’s a chance for your pup to get fresh air, enrichment, attention, and a little extra love while you’re away. 🐕💕 I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their favorite part of the day! 🐾 I have open availability, and will always be open about any updated schedule changes. ☺️ Taking care of pups is my full-time job, so I am here when you need me with notice. ☺️ I know all dogs have different temperaments. I would make sure boundaries are respected, and the dog feels comfortable. I will make sure water bowl is filled, go on a walk for potty breaks, and give treats if allowed by owner. 😊

About: I am DEFINITELY an animal person! I live a very active lifestyle so I am more than happy to go out and play with your pets, but also just as satisfied relaxing and cuddling! I have had dogs my entire life and think they truly are a mans' best friend. Growing up, I have taken care of the two dogs I have had (maltese and pitbull) a lot, as my parents have gone out of town for work. I have dog- and cat-sat on and off over the past 6 years so am very comfortable. I currently work remotely, so I have loads of flexibility to care for your pet! I enjoy being active so am more than happy to take the time to care for your pet! I take great pride in caring for your pet in your home! I am very respectful to the household, owners, and animals and am very tidy and follow the directions from the owners.

About: I have had dogs, cats and pets of all types since childhood. Often referred to as “The chosen one” in my own home because of my relationship with our dog and cat. I am frequently asked to look after our neighbors dogs. Experienced at administering injections and IV fluids as well. I am recently retired and find myself with far more free time. Weekdays are a particularly good time for me to be available to care for animals I have a dog (Bandit) and a cat (Dublin) who are given love and attention to the point of being spoiled rotten. They are fed regularly and responsibly with the highly sought after treat from time to time. Walks are non negotiable for Bandit and both get a heavy dose of play time as well as some quality chill time together.

About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.

About: Hi my names Marielle! I have always had pets growing up and have done a lot of pet sitting throughout the years including many animals such as cats, dogs, small animals and even farm animals such as chickens and donkeys! In addition to pet sitting I worked in the veterinary field for 7 years so I have a wide range of animal experience. I am a nursing student but have a fairly flexible schedule as I do online school. We can work out the best time for me to come by that works for the both of us! I do have my own dog at home so I couldn’t stay overnight at your house but would love to come by for a dog walk / play time or drop in sitting! Safety and well being of the pet is my top priority! I will strive to make each visit fun and stress free! Letting me know the best way to approach and take care of your pet will help me make it a great experience for them! I am a full time student but my program is online so I have fairly flexible hours during the day and evenings! I’ll be sure to spend the proper amount of time with your best friend! I always treat someone else’s home and belongings with respect, leave it how I found it and let them know of any concerns I may have.

About: I truly believe every dog deserves to feel loved, comfortable, and understood. I have experience caring for dogs through all stages of life, including seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive to their individual personalities and routines, and I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ Dog care fits naturally into my routine! I love getting outside for walks and spending time at the nearby dog park, which is just 5 minutes from me. I’m especially available for evening walks and weekend visits, and I enjoy giving each pup plenty of exercise, attention, and love. 🐾 I keep things comfortable, safe, and consistent with their normal routine. I follow feeding and walking schedules, give plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment. Fenced in back yard. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.🐾❤️

About: As a dog owner, playing with your dog every day might not be easy. But, there is another way to make them happy. I and my dog Grady welcome your furry friend and play with and guard them while you are not around. I’m mostly open during the daytime. I offer periodically a daycare and a boarding. I take a walk with your dog to get to know each other. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions or concerns! I have a fenced yard and a dog (WPG). He welcomes furry friends and spending time with yours. Our kids love to see and play with yours also.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — playful pups, mellow seniors, and everything in between. My experience started with helping my sister care for her dogs, and over the years, I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a quiet home and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. With me, your dog will be loved, understood, and truly cared for — just like they deserve. I mostly work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for daytime check-ins, boarding, and doggy stays at my place. I can also pick up and drop off your dog if needed — making things easier for you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help. I offer a calm and loving environment with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need space or lots of cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, understood, and cared for — just like they would at home.

Olivia has been wonderful with Bear and Bella! She’s only walked them a couple of times so far, but I’m already very happy with her. She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job with both of them. I feel very comfortable having them in her care and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️

We booked Allegra for a house sitting service and dog walking service. She was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of our little diva, Francie, and was incredibly responsible and self-sufficient throughout her stay. She left our home immaculate. Honestly, it was like she was never even there! We would definitely hire her again for future house sitting.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lake Barrington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Lake Barrington on Rover is $24.98 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,353 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Barrington. 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 Lake Barrington. 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 Lake Barrington.

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 Lake Barrington. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
