“Margaret (Peggy) has been wonderful! She is very accommodating, changing the schedule last minute to meet our needs. Our puppy is always happy and relaxed when we arrive home after a long day of work because of his mid-day walks with Peggy. We are so glad we found her. Thank you Peggy!”
“Amanda is awesome with our dog Leyla! This was our first time using Rover and it could not have been a better match. She is nearby, flexible and takes the extra time and effort to ensure our puppy gets in some good, quality, fun exorcise for the day. She is very experienced with animals of all kinds and makes me feel confident that my pup is in good hands. Highly recommended!”
About: I took care of dogs ranging from young puppies to senior lovelies!! No matter the age, I make sure to give the best care and love to your pets. I am available accordingly as I go to classes and have work. I have plenty of time to walk, play, and groom your loved ones if necessary. I have a big fenced backyard with a good neighborhood to walk around. I have a middle aged cat that is calm and friendly when introduced properly and a bunny that has a separated crate.
“Desiree was quick to respond and communicated with me very well. Showed up on time and listenes to me about Gator’s quirks, she was great to work with and I would recommend her services.”
“Anna walked our dog several times a week over 3 weeks in January while my spouse was out of town and I at work. She was always right on time and took great care of our little girl - putting her jacket on (frigid cold weather they both endured!), wiping her paws, giving her treats - and always ensured the house was secure when she left. I'm so happy that I have a go-to person we can count on! Thanks Anna!!”
About: Animal and Pet Experience: I currently volunteer weekly at a cat shelter where I interact with and take care of a wide range of cats. I absolutely adore working there and have always been an animal lover! I've owned and taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, gerbils, and at one point in my adolescence, a toad. I love and am capable of taking care of a wide range of animals. All of the cats I grew up with had feline leukemia, leading them to require extra care and medication. I am known for being very gentle and patient, and will give your beloved pet lots of attention, care, and cuddles. :) Flexibility/Location/Hours: I am very flexible in terms of pricing, hours, location, and last-minute bookings or cancellations. I know how chaotic life can be and how valuable flexibility is, especially when it comes to the care of our pets. I am willing to negotiate, make adjustments as needed, and will prioritize the best and most stress-free experience for you and your pets. General Qualities: I am a very fast learner, rule-follower, and problem-solver, and will not hesitate to communicate or ask questions if I have them. I want nothing but the best possible experience for you, the owner, and your beloved pets, as I know how much value they bring to a household. I am always happy and quick to communicate if you have any questions or concerns. I promise your furry friend is in good hands! I am currently in the market for an animal-related job, and I am waiting to hear back from several dog kennels and pet stores. In the meantime, Rover is my priority for income and further animal experience. On Monday nights, from 6-8 pm, I typically have a prior commitment, but it can easily be adjusted or joined virtually. For now, animal care and pet-sitting are my number one priority. I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but I am very flexible in terms of location and hours to do what is best for your pet at your own home. I can provide additional treats and toys if allowed or preferred, and will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will follow the rules and schedule that are provided and will update you with any questions, concerns, or updates. My main priority is providing safe, stress-free, reliable care that is personalized for your household and pet to your standards and expectations.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m choosing to offer pet sitting as a source of income, but it’s also something I genuinely love doing. I travel fairly often, so having a dog of my own isn’t the right fit for me right now. Spending time with other people’s dogs brings me a lot of joy, and I’ll give yours the affection, attention, and care they deserve.❤️ My schedule is flexible, so I can make time for walks, playtime, and keeping your pet company. I do travel occasionally, but I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings when I can give your pet the attention they need. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, and care. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.
“Caroline was responsive and flexible which I greatly appreciate! You could tell by the photos that my dogs felt very safe and comfortable with her. We will absolutely use her in the future!”
About: I have a special way of connecting with every dog I meet. I've rescued stray dogs from the streets in California since I was a young adult, and I’ve had dogs of my own since I was a little girl. I volunteered with Bully Rescue Fresno in California during college and worked there for a year. My love for dogs has always been part of who I am. A close friend and former Rover sitter encouraged me to sign up as a sitter on Rover. She believes I am good at caring for dogs, show them as much love as I did my own, and that I'm a fun person any dog could ask for. So here I am, and I want to gain experience caring for dogs. I'm a deaf mom of three girls and two dogs. I’ve been staying home since my third baby was born in August and working remotely. My work hours are very flexible, so I can take care of the dogs as much as I can while I’m home. I have fence yard, two adorable dogs, and three young children. We all love dogs and are friendly here. I can take care of dogs while doing errand at home since im staying home.
“Tess was INCREDIBLE! I felt nervous about leaving my pup for the weekend but she couldn’t have been in better hands! Tess was a great communicator, sent me lots of pictures and took such good care of my girl. I would absolutely trust Tess with my pet any time I need a sitter!”
About: As a long time dog owner, I can care for dogs of all different ages-or just visit with them for a bit! I am experienced with my own pets and am sure I can care for yours in the same way. I’m currently in a hybrid setting at my job so I work from home Monday and Friday and am flexible throughout any point of the day at that time. Tuesday-Thursday I get home at 6:30 or earlier so I can take your dog on a little afternoon stroll as well. With or without toys I can be sure to find a way to entertain your pet! Or we can take it easy and just provide some company and plenty of pats and snuggles for a drop in visit!
“Lucy was quick to accept my request for a same day walk and was wonderful with my pup Andy. She showed up on time and he loved his walks with Lucy. I will definitely be using her in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I don't believe in naughty pups, I believe in high energy pups 😂 . Let's go for a hike together. Hooray for Pup-excercise. Thank you I live in Frankfort Square and am available to excercise your high energy pups. I walk the neighborhood daily, send me a message for booking. I walk my dog and my sisters 2 dogs daily around Frankfort Square. They are well behaved now. Let's go for a walk together . 😂
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is a lifetime of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds—from cats, dogs, and birds to rabbits. My expertise spans every stage of a pet’s life, including raising energetic puppies and delivering compassionate end-of-life care for a terminally ill dog who needed to be hand-fed and wear diapers at just six years old. As an authentic animal lover with a deep well of specialized experience, I bring both the practical knowledge required for complex care routines and the genuine empathy every pet owner looks for. ♥️🐾 Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, serving as a primary focus alongside my other responsibilities while I am currently not working traditional hours. A major part of my days is dedicated to caring for my daughter's two German Shepherds, which keeps me active with regular feeding, exercise, and attentive supervision suited for large, high-energy breeds. Balancing this with part-time house cleaning and studying to earn my real estate license has taught me how to manage my time effectively, ensuring that every dog in my care receives consistent attention, structured routine, and dedicated affection throughout the week. When caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routine to keep them feeling safe, happy, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to their usual feeding schedule, walking habits, and medication needs, while providing plenty of quality playtime and affection to keep them company. Beyond basic care, I keep a watchful eye on their health and behavior, ensure your home stays clean and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lemont
Margaret did an exceptional job taking care of our Denny dog. It was our first time using a service so we were nervous. She calmed any fears we had and sent reassuring messages after each walk and nice photos. We will use her again next time we need. She was very calm and confident.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lemont is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Lemont. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lemont after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Lemont. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
