About: I work at a doggy daycare have over 3 years of experience taking care of dogs, feeding and medications if needed. I can also basic training dogs. I currently work part time. Im free Thursday - all day, Friday - all day and Saturday - till 5pm. If I am needed for a bathroom break or feeding they will be well taken care of. I currently do not own a animal. I have learned with my doggy daycare experience that you have to keep your head on a swivel because some animals can get into what they shouldn't.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I know every dog is unique and needs unique care. I want to make sure your dog is treated with care and understanding while you're away! I have experience giving oral medications (both pills and liquids). I currently have an open schedule for summer! Whether you need a dog walk or multiple visits for feedings while you're away, I've got you covered! I want to build a trusting relationship with you and you're pets. For home visits, I will take time to ensure your pet is eating and drinking well, make sure litter boxes and crates are clean, and each pet knows I'm there to make them feel safe and loved. Is you're pet a little shy? No worries! I'll give their privacy after making sure everything is taken care of.
About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)
“Can always count on Chris to work his magic with Milo and make him feel comfortable. Always an enjoyable read on our dogs Rover Card too! Our go to for when we are out of town 🐕🦺”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.
About: I have 16 years of experience caring for others' animals. I worked for multiple horse farms until graduating college and all types of animals. Horses, donkeys, cows, big dogs, little dogs, pigs, bunnies, birds, I've taken care of them all! The bigger the animal the more comfortable I am with them. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule that I make. I travel all over Cook/Kenosha/McHenry/Lake/Dupage Counties so if you're in that area I can tailor my schedule to spend more time in that area the week you need to accommodate your pets needs with daily walks or overnights. I treat all pets like they are my own. I take the time to get to know what they like so they warm up to me. Their favorite napping spots or where they like to be scratched. I want them to feel as comfortable as they can be while their owner is not around. I try to be the fun aunt that comes to visit so they don't notice mom and dad are gone.
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.
About: I love both dogs and cats! I've never had a problem with any one of them except for that one dog that keep barking and running after me when I was 10 lol, but turned out the little guy just wanted to be friends. I am planning on doing this full time, so I'll have all the time in the world to play with your pets and to make them my besties. There is a park near my apartment that will have your pets tail wagging whenever we go for a super fun and exciting walk !
About: Hiya! I'm Rebecca and I was in school to become a vet tech, but now I'm going to school to be a mortician and I'm a tattoo apprentice. I live in Kenosha, which is 15 minutes from the beach and I live around the boarder of Illinois too!! I'm an animal lover I have two dogs at home, an 8-year old westie and a corgi/heeler mix puppy. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs! My friends have cats that I care for when needed. I have also taken care of horses, reptiles, rodents, and birds as well! My availability is pretty open right now, but I do have dungeons and dragons on Sundays, Friday and Monday nights. So I wouldn't mind if you needed me to do pop-in visit or walks! I can hold a small conversation in ASL! :) I cannot wait to meet you and your fur babies in the future!! :) I have dungeons and dragons on Sundays from 12pm - 5pm, Mondays from 6-9:30pm (online), and Fridays from 6-9:30pm so taking care of your fur baby will not be a problem if they can be left alone for a few hours. Otherwise, I'm available at anytime! I'm very flexible, so if you need an someone to do an emergency sitting for awhile, I'd be more than happy to look after your fur babies during that time! I treat your companions like my own pups, spoiled and treated like queens or kings. I will go to your house and stay there for the sitting including overnights. However, if you do not let your fur baby on furniture, I will respect and follow the house rules. I can take your fur baby for a walk, or we can go to the dog park if you're okay with that! If your furbaby needs medication or fluids, I would prefer to show me how you do it at home, so they can be the most comfortable when I have to give them their medication when you're away. I may a have a friend come by, but I will always ask first. I promise you that there will be no wild parties in your home!
About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and cats as well. I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve had golden retrievers, pit bulls, Rottweilers, and a mini golden doodle. We currently have a 3 month old Golden Retriever! I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to a 20 Month old little boy and a 7 month old Golden Retriever! So I’m available all the time! My son is a huge animal lover already and will be joining me on check ins and walks so please keep that in mind! Your pets safety is my first priority. They will get plenty of love and play time from myself and my son! You’re pet will be treated as if they’re my own!
“Isabella is the only person I would trust with my fur baby! You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and is so kind and helpful! My pup tends to be on wild side and has really poor leash manners. She is so patient with him and teaches him to walk nicely. I could not recommend her enough! Such an amazing person!”
About: Throughout the 20 years of life my family has always had a dog and I wouldn’t change it any other way. I feel a connection towards animals and enjoy trying to provide a better life for them every day! I am comfortable around all dogs and i’m always willing to learn how to care for your animal. I currently work part-time and go to school part time for my sonography degree. I have lots of open time willing to help make your life easier! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a dog that my family and I walk at least 3 times a day. There is lots of room in the house to play. When it comes to a clients home, I’m very respectful of the rules and follow them accordingly.
“Arcely was fabulous. She did great with my dog, giving him time to get used to her and making sure he got a chance to burn off some extra energy. I will definitely be using her in the future.”

Declan has been absolutely wonderful with Phantom! He’s reliable, patient, and genuinely seems to care about making sure Phantom is comfortable and well cared for. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that while I’m at work, Phantom is getting a potty break, some attention, and quality time with someone I trust.

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 Catherine. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
