About: Hi there! I’m Rajda. For the past 10 years, I’ve provided pet sitting services to friends and family so I’m used to handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable. Whether you need drop-ins, overnight stays, or someone to love your fur baby like their own, I’m here for it! I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and cows over the past few years! I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play and watch your dogs or cats! I'm available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, or check-ins throughout the week as needed. I’m active and love being outdoors, so pets who enjoy walks and fresh air will get plenty of it! I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred activities. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands!
“Macey has done such an outstanding job walking our Sophie this summer. From the first meet & greet, she read Sophie like a book: anticipating when she might bark at another dog, chase a squirrel, or simply watch a rabbit eating grass. And Sophie is a Great Dane mix so she weighs 90 pounds! Macey communicates fully and regularly and has almost always been able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I will simply say that Macey is simply the best and we've already arranged future times we'll need her help. We cannot thank her enough!”
About: I love dogs and have been working with them for 11 years. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years and love caring for other animals while their family is away. I am a stay at home mom so I prefer to dog sit in my own home I work at an animal hospital in Wheaton, IL and I used to work at a doggie daycare so I know all about dog behavior and how to handle/control them. I also have a certificate in Dog CPR and a certificate for Veterinary Assistant work. I am comfortable with all breeds and dogs of all sizes. I dog sit frequently for a family with 3 dogs and 2 cats! I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. If you want a trustworthy dog sitter/walker who loves working with animals, you found her! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible!! I can do dog walks throughout the day and I can dog sit in my own home since I am home with my kids all day! I have a nice home with a huge fully fenced in yard to run around in. I do own a cat and I have 3 young kids who love playing with dogs!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and needs! I also have experience caring for felines and chinchillas! I am experienced in administering medications! I currently work from home but am available for short potty breaks in the Lombard area! Also available nights and weekends! I can also do house sitting! I have worked with people who have fenced in back yards and people who do not and utilize leads and am comfortable with either. I like to watch potty breaks, even if the yard is fenced in to making sure nothing is ingested outside!
“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”
“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”
“Great experience from the start. Immediately received friendly response from Bentley. Definitely a professional who knows the right questions to ask and make you feel comfortable that they have the skills you need.”
“Janet is WONDERFUL beyond words. Peanut a bit hesitant at first but Janice calmed her immediately and now they are BEST FRIENDS. Janet is responsive and accommodating and a pleasure to work with!”
“John treats my dog like his own. I have a large dog, and she can be difficult to handle, but John is comfortable setting boundaries and managing her behavior. He is always friendly and arrives on time, and my dog is always happy and well exercised after her walks. He communicates well, and I would trust him with my dog any time.”
“Sara has been amazing with my dog. She has now provided services for my dog a few times and has been patient with my dog, who is shy and scared of almost everything. She has also been great with communication. Glad to have matched with her and look forward to booking future walks with her”
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t look at pet care as just a job—I truly treat every pet like family. ❤️ I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and loved ones, and I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I provide personalized, one-on-one attention and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, likes, and needs. Whether I’m taking a dog for a walk, stopping in to care for a cat, or welcoming a dog into my home, my goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’m also big on communication. I want you to feel connected while you’re away, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Most importantly, I know how much our pets mean to us. I’ve experienced the joy of having them as part of my family and the heartbreak of losing them, so I never take the trust someone places in me lightly. Your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, attention, and love that I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care while still being available and attentive to the pets in my care. I’m able to build my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure each pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine because it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with animals and provide the personalized care and attention I would want for my own pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a cat check-in, or a comfortable home away from home, I’m happy to work together to find a schedule that keeps your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I provide personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and the services requested. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, welcoming, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I also make sure they have a comfortable space to relax and follow their normal feeding and medication routines as closely as possible. For visits in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine and provide everything they need, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure everything is secure before I leave. I believe communication is just as important as good pet care, so I’m happy to provide photos and updates during visits or stays. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

I just lost my 15 year old dog so I’m familiar with senior care and we currently have a puppy so I’m dealing with that so I can handle anything.

I have lived with dogs my whole life and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, if your dog has any special needs I will take care of them. I love long walks with my dog and if your dog does too he will be well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard so playing fetch will be great for them.

Sara was absolutely fantastic from meet & greet to walking our two Dobermans while we were on a day trip. Our older Doberman is a rescue and does not always warm up to new people. He loved Sara immediately! Sara also handled our jump-y Goose, who is technically an adult but all puppy energy. Would highly recommend Sara!
Excellent service! So polite! Understanding of my situation not being able to walk easily. Jang listened to me when I explained the walking area around my complex. Gave me some great ideas and report on Timothy’s behavior performance. Thank you so much! Highly recommended her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lombard on Rover is $26.64 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 .

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 Lombard. 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 Lombard.

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 Lombard. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
