Emma was great. She was a last minute fill in because the previous walker we hired had some medical issues. Roux was happy to be walked and Emma handled our rambunctious pup well.

We interviewed a few walkers on Rover, and Taylor was the one who stood out above the rest. She was much more clear and descriptive about her approach, her style of managing dogs, and her specific techniques. She is very organized, highly responsive, and I highly recommend her for your pets!

About: To be completely honest, I do not have professional experience with offering dog services. The most I have done is to drop by & feed my boyfriend’s pup, but other than that, nada. Apart from that, I have been known to have a lot of energy to keep up with any energetic pet you have! I’m currently working full time, so any pups that need attention during the weekend, I will be available, but on weekdays I am available after 1pm! I unfortunately am not allowed to have dogs at my apartment, but I can safely and reliably travel to your home! Any pup who loves car rides will have a blast with me!

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: 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: 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.

Catarina has a general niceness about her and was able to connect with our dog Miley quickly. She understood the little things that would help make Miley feel comfortable. We truly appreciate having found her and will miss her, as we have moved to Florida, but we will continue to let people know about her. Thank you Catarina for everything, especially the peace of mind you gave us while we were away from our girl.

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with years of hands-on experience, I offer a unique combination of reliability, compassion, and personalized care. I've been the proud owner of a Shih Tzu Bichon since 2018 and have cared for two cats since 2015, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s managing special diet or maintaining a familiar routine to ensure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat each pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each pet's personality and preferences, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away. Your pets' well-being is my priority, and I strive to provide the highest level of care, whether it's cuddling during quiet moments, engaging in playtime, or taking them for walks. With me, your pets are in trusted, loving hands. I have mostly online classes this semester and I only have to be in person for about an hour on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30, so the rest of my days can consist of all type of pet loving Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for your pets. In your home, I respect your pet's territory and routines, and I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure they remain comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure to lock all doors and windows, monitor your pet closely during walks or playtime, and take extra care when administering medications or handling special needs. Communication is key, and I’ll send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy in my care. Above all, I build trust with both pets and owners, ensuring peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

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.

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.

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.

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.
