About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician student with a huge love for animals and hands on experience caring for dogs. I’ve worked with dogs in a daycare and boarding setting, and I also have experience shadowing at a veterinary hospital. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets that need extra patience, attention, or regular medication. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also love staying active with dogs! Whether your pup enjoys long walks, hikes, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to give them the kind of attention and activity they enjoy. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and care. I own pets of my own so pet care is essential in my daily routine. That routine includes morning medication and hourly walks and feedings. pet care weekly includes hourly walks and sitting for friends and family When caring for your pet in your home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. As a veterinary technician student with hands-on animal experience, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and needs, including senior dogs and pets that need medication. I’ll provide attentive care, plenty of love, and whatever activity your dog enjoys—from walks and hikes to playtime or simply keeping them company at home.
“Really happy to find a person that’s comfortable with a big, strong, and willful dog! Makes it easier to leave for work knowing that Michelle will give Maddie great care on her walks!”

About: I’ve had dogs as long as I’ve been alive and since living on my own, have had the pleasure of raising 2 of my own. I’m a dependable, caring sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I am currently working part time and have availability almost every Saturday and Sunday. I would love to fill my time with more love from your pets :) I have a decent sized fully fenced back yard and two dogs to keep your pet entertained during their stay. I am comfortable crating your dog, but also allow pets to roam freely as long as they’re fully potty trained.
“Ashley was very sweet to Hookah and attentive to his needs. She walked him everyday last week. She was very flexible with our schedules. I would highly recommend Ashley for dog sitting or walking. You can tell that she loves animals.”

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
About: With 12 years of dog training experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and behaviors. I specialize in obedience training for all breeds, and I’m particularly experienced in training pointing dogs for upland bird hunting, as well as training dogs in various other hunting disciplines. In addition to field training, I have worked with protection dogs and understand the skills needed to develop focus, discipline, and responsiveness. I offer dog sitting at my home, dog walking, and custom training sessions tailored to your dog’s individual needs — including behavioral challenges and medical considerations. My property features a fenced yard with connected kennel run that’s safely separated by a privacy fence, plus 75 acres of diverse habitat ideal for training, hunting dog conditioning, and exercise. I’m well-versed in caring for puppies to senior dogs, and I provide patient, reliable, and expert care that helps every dog thrive. I am available any day, any time, for your needs. I offer walking any day and any length. I provide training at both my property or can come to your house. I can also stop over to let your dog out for a quick break. I am available and flexible to best tailor care to you and your dog’s needs. My property features a fenced yard connected directly to my home, in addition to a kennel run that is connected to the yard but safely separated by a gate and privacy fence. If I am sitting your dog in my home, I have a variety of dog crates and arrangements available within my home to meet your dogs needs. I have my own dogs and can have your dog interact as much or as little (or not at all) with my pack as you’d like to meet your dog’s unique needs. All dogs will be handled with a leash if not in the yard unless we have agreed to specialized training arrangements. I offer training at my property or can come to your home. I also offer dog walking. If you have questions about my services or safety protocols, please inquire.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
About: I have had dogs and loved them my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers and St Benards so the big ones definitely have my heart. I currently have two Border Collie X Australian Shepherd mixes that are incredibly friendly and smart. I started my pet professional career out in 2012 as a kennel technician at the Clinton Humane Society. I have worked for two different vet clinics as a vet technician giving medications, doing ivs, doing wound care, and being apart of surgery staff. I do some special handling dog training for anxious and semi aggressive dogs. My passion for special handling dogs started when I trained as a pet stylist. I got hands on experience helping stressed dogs relax and make situations better for them. I currently work in the Quad Cities as a pet stylist, working with both dogs and cats. I am very familiar and comfortable working with all kinds of animals be it furry, scaley or feathery. I do animal care for individual animals and also for hobby farms with chickens, ducks, goats, llamas and sheep. I am a very particular person when it comes to my own animals' care. Being very detailed oriented and handling your pets care is important to me. I think they deserve their care to be attentive and comfortable. Animals are not only something I am very passionate about but what I have revolved my life around. My days start around 5-5:30am. I typically take the dogs for a walk and have an hour to give them a bathroom break. I work as a pet stylist from 7-3:30. I can give bathroom breaks on my lunch break as needed. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I have a fenced in back/side yard where I monitor dogs so they can be off leash if they are able to be trusted. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid. I deep clean and sanitize everything frequently.

I’m currently working part time so I will be available 6am-3pm, Monday - Friday to welcome you and your pal into a fun, safe, and caring environment! If you need to leave me a list of do’s and dont’s pertaining to you and your pals needs, I am adamant on adapting to understand their boundaries, reading their emotions, and finding what they will/wont enjoy. Everything I can do, I will do to keep your pet safe, happy, and healthy so you never have to feel worried!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had dogs since I was little. I am well versed in knowing what your dog needs and how to go above and beyond your expectation!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember I have always enjoyed taking care of them and making sure they are living their best life. I have three dogs of my own including a labradoodle and two french bulldogs. I consistently watch all the dogs in my neighborhood and watch my friends cats as well. I also have a lot of experience with puppies due to my family being guide dog raisers for a long period of time. Along with puppies I am also good with senior dogs due to my family choosing to foster a lot of senior dogs. I also have experience and love all sizes and kinds of dogs. I look forward to treat your animals as if they are my own and show them every bit of love and care you would show them. I go to school at St. Ambrose University and during the spring semester I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available for housesitting pretty much any day and always available for drop ins or walks. I am always open for last minute bookings! Whenever I am watching a neighbors dog while staying in their house I make sure I am constantly spending time with them and getting their energy out, whether it is playing fetch, taking them on a walk, or even just cuddling on the couch with them. I always make sure they consistently get out to use the restroom. I love spending my time with your cute doggos and making sure they are happy as can be while your away!
About: Animals are so unique. The way they play, eat and sleep, every animals deserves special, intentional care. I love being around animals of all kinds and want to make sure people feel at ease when they’re family need to leave their pets at home. My schedule is relatively consistent. I have availability all day on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays and my week nights are open for pet care as well. In a clients home, I am respectful of their home and their animals. I follow directions and will do what is necessary to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
About: I know how important my fur babies are to me, and how important quality pet care is. I will take care of your pets the way I would want mine taken care of. I’ve had pets my whole life, and currently have an Aussie named Ruthie and a cat named Jinx! I trained Ruthie myself and have taken care of dogs with special needs before. I am currently a full time student and therefore have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies! I’m available most holidays as well. I love spending time with your pets, making them feel loved, playing with them, and giving them the stimulation they need to be happy. I leave all clients’ homes exactly the way they left it. In addition to taking care of your pets, I also water plants and bring in mail or packages if necessary.
About: I’ve looked after all types of animals and have grown up around just about everything — dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, reptiles, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m the type of person who will talk to your pets like they’re people, send you way too many cute photo updates, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, couch cuddles, or just having a calm and reliable person around, I’m happy to match their vibe. I currently have a cat named Louie who is spoiled in the best way possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. Whether you need a quick drop-in, walks, or care while you’re out of town, I’d love to help! I currently work full time. During the week, I can come by in the morning, over lunch, and at night. On the weekends, I can come by at any time. I live in an apartment downtown Napa. Your pet(s) can stay at my place or I can come to your place - whichever you/they prefer.

About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats doesn’t worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I’m currently trying to raise money for a trip to go meet some family I’ve never met. I’ve had this app for months and haven’t had a single client. Please help me reach my goal I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 256 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Long Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Long Grove. 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 Long Grove 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 .

- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
