“Justina was so great with our puppy, we are so grateful for the care, clear communication, adorable pics, and thoughtful gift as well! We would definitely love to have Justina come back anytime!”
“I was just saying the same thing over and over again, but if you want trustworthy Dog Walker, who has exceptional communication skills that to mention my dog is madly in love with him and cries when he leaves. This is the person to hire.”
“Cheryl is one in a million. I am so thankful that she came into my pups lives. My dogs are not easy to handle, but she was understanding, compassionate, and loving to them since the first day she met them. She is knowledgeable, skilled, extremely reliable and has helped me out more than once in a last minute situation. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any pet that you may have that is special needs or needs attention beyond your average care. She’s an absolute pro.”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life so being around dogs comes very natural to me. Growing up with dogs has given me hands-on experience with daily care such as feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, cuddles, and providing lots of love and attention. I have cared for many different dogs over the years, each with their own personality, routine, and needs. I am very adaptable and am more than willing to follow a schedule and routine that fits your dog's needs. My highest priority is to provide safety and comfort to every dog I meet and care for. I'm currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for dog walks and drop in visits. Weekdays (Tuesday-Thursday) I am available after 4 pm. Whenever I am spending time with a dog, I make sure they are in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I treat every dog as my own and ensure that they are content. I will be attentive to your dog's comfort, so it will be no issue to adapt to their needs and routine. In addition, I am more than willing to send updates so you can see how your dog is doing throughout our time together :)

“Josephine is the sweetest, this is my first time using the service and she helped me to make sure I was doing everything on my end correctly and Niko immediately took a liking to her as soon as them met. I would definitely rebook with her again! It was such a last minute request and I’m so thankful she was able to assis!”
“Shante helped me out when I was in a pinch and realized with short notice that I needed a dog walker. She was very responsive and from the pictures looked like my pup loved his time with her! I will definitely use Shante for future walks.”
“Maya was delightful from start to finish. We had a last minute booking which she accommodated with no stress. I’m recovering from a surgery so I needed her for 4 walks a day for 3 days. She showed up on time every time and was so positive and full of good energy every time. She was also very amenable to a few time changes I needed to make. She’s very sweet with my pups and I will most definitely work with her again.”
About: Our pets are our best friends and family, allow me to give them the care and attention they deserve! I understand the importance of routine and attention required when keeping pets happy and healthy. I know I can never quite be as good as our furry friends favorite humans, but I do ensure comfort, saftey and communication with all of my sits. I am fully self employed and happy to be flexible for you and your pet family! When discussing your pets routine don't be afraid to be specific with details, the better information you can give me, the better I can serve and customize my service to your pets needs. I do not currently offer care within my own home due to limited space but I am very happy to care for your pets within your own home or by taking them to a trail or park where they can be their happiest and most comfortable. I love going on adventures with pups to the beach or trail if that's interesting to you and your furbaby & I ensure safety and security by giving your pet my full attention on outings.
“Adriana is amazing and I’m very thankful she was able to accept my walk request on such short notice. My puppy was a little nervous but warmed up quickly to her.”
“Paul did a great job taking care of our girl Grace. He took care of her exercise, meals and company needs, and communicated with us clearly during the trip! She has a new buddy! Highly reccommend!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have worked in an animal shelter and vet clinic as a veterinary assistant caring for a variety of animals. I have had the privilege of fostering 100 animals (mostly neonatal and orphaned kittens!). I currently have three cats and an 18 year old Crested Gecko. Two of my cats are fosters that never left- both have cererbellar hypoplasia, or better known as wobbly cat syndrome! I have pet sat for many kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Please note: I do not use flexi/retractible leashes to ensure safety. I am happy to bring my own slip lead or standard leash. Please, let me know if you have questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I typically have afternoons and weekends free. I would love to learn more about what your pet’s specific care needs are! I want to hear all about your pet! What do they like, what don’t they like? What are their quirks and preferences? I want to learn about them because I want to make sure I am caring for them the way you would.
About: I treat every pet like family - with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! What sets me apart is my personalized, compassionate care. From playful pups needing training and fun walks to seniors needing meds and gentle attention - I'm here for it all! Pet care is a joyful part of my routine, and I build my schedule around it. I am available weekends and various weekdays for walks, and drop-ins. Whether it's a puppy needing playtime or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm flexible and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe. With a fenced yard and nearby parks, they'll enjoy playtime, cuddles, and fun adventures - plus personalized care and consistent routines.
About: I adore taking care of animals, and can give them that warmth and love they will crave in your absence! I would do this full time if I could, and am excited to experience new animal friendships! I work in the afternoon currently, so have plenty of day availability to help out, and can come right back after a night shift if further care is needed! I believe in the golden rule, and believe in treating your pets even better than I would want to be treated. Animals trust us for their love and care, and I would never let them go without!
About: I credit most of my skills with taking care of dogs to my own girl, Leona. She came into my life in 2021 as a 6 month old with previous traumas. Through lots of love and training, she’s the happy and fun dog that she is today! My schedule is currently open Mondays-Fridays for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting. I will consider weekend availability on an as needed basis. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! For drop-in visits, my services will very based on the needs of the dog. Potty breaks will always be offered during my visit, as well as some play time. I can prepare any enrichment toys your dog has and if meal time is needed, make sure they are fed. I usually like to bring dog treats so let me know if you would like me to hold off on any treats for dietary purposes.

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 Lincolnwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
