About: I have been around cats and dogs most of my life, and have had my own dogs for 10+ years. Right now I have three- a tiny Chihuahua, a medium Carolina mix, and a HUGE Rhodesian Ridgeback. I trained them myself and they are my whole world! I would be happy to work on some training with your dog, I really have a passion for it.💜 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22:37 I work full-time, so I'm mostly available in the evenings. I am usually off on Sunday and Monday or Sunday and Friday so I have more time on those days. I can do whatever is required for each specific dog. I have no problem getting dogs in and out of crates, walking any size dog while working on leash manners if desired by the owner, feeding and playing, whatever your pup needs!
About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!
“I've booked Jacqueline and Uriel a few times now and they are always great. Super flexible, communicative, reliable, and my dachshund Ladybug LOVES them. Thank you! 💗”
“Thank you so much for walking the dogs! Loved the pictures of them and the update you provided to me about how they did. Duke loves to mark his territory lol sorry about that! Glad they enjoyed you and their walk!”
“Norma seems to sense that Alphonse is on his way lo take her for a walk and when he arrives her reaction says it all! She’s a very happy pup! Alphonse is always on time and very responsive to any communication between us. If you need a great dog walker, contact him. I promise you won’t be disappointed!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities, ages, and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, some extra playtime, or lots of affection, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and give them plenty of attention. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can feel comfortable while they’re with me :) I’m a college student and healthcare worker who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. My schedule gives me availability throughout the week, including many weekends, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so you can easily see when I’m available. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping your pet comfortable with their normal routine. Every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes yours feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether you have an energetic dog ready for a walk, a senior who needs a little extra patience, or a cat who prefers affection on their own terms, I’ll care for them with the same kindness and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾🤍 When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive to each animal’s comfort level. I make sure food, water, and potty breaks are handled safely, and I always keep doors and gates secure. I also send updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away :))
About: I have an insane passion for all types of animals, big. small, furry, scaley, bring it on! All of my past jobs have been related to animals and animal care and im intending to keep it that way forever! I'm a recent graduate so all I have is time! I also am looking to adding more walking to my schedule so caring for your animals will be a huge plus for me 🙏 I intend to treat your pets exactly how they need. Playful? no worries! I love to play! Withdrawn? that's okay! I won't push their boundaries!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake in the Hills
We were struck by Hannah's genuine pleasantness and likability from the get-go. Our dog, a Belgian Malinois with an attitude and stubborness, sniffed Hannah and within moments rolled over to have her belly rubbed. Taking a walk with us and our dog, she listened carefully to our description of our furry family member, her characteristics, nuances, and nature. Over three visits, the walks became longer and easier, Hannah was able to coax our dog into wanting to explore. We look forward to her next visit and recommend her highly.
Alphonse is the best! He came today even though it was so cold. Had I known it was below 0 degrees I would have canceled today. Neither Alphonse nor my dog should have been out. They started their walk and Norma showed that she was cold and her paws were suffering. I’m so grateful that he had the good sense to bring her home before the scheduled end to her walk!

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 .

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 in the Hills. 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 in the Hills.

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 in the Hills. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
