“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
“We brought Jessica to our house to meet our German Shepherd Dog Loki to see if she she would be up for the task of walking, watching and taking care of him at times. She was very attentive to his needs and we can see that she is very caring and loving towards dogs. Loki felt that as well and was very comfortable around her. We will be using her in the future anytime we need an extra hand taking care of Loki.”
“Kati was awesome, I highly recommend her...we have two dogs and they have never had a "sitter" stop by to take them on walks. The dogs loved her and she was always on time and flexible when I needed extra walks. Thanks Kati!!!!”
“Leora is very reliable and experienced. She walks our dog in all weather. She makes herself available on short notice for special requests like us going downtown. She is very patient, calm, and kind to our dog. We are so happy to have found Leora! She is terrific!”
“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”
“Luna loved Nataliia! She was so sweet with her and listened to all the care instructions for Luna. She was responsive, professional and shared details and photos! We can’t wait fo for her to come back.”
“Hanna helps us out on an emergency basis and has been amazing! She has been so accommodating with unique requests, is super responsive and takes great care of our pup. Thank you, Hanna!”
“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”
About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor
About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my whole life, growing up around lots of different pets like dogs (big and small), cats (of all kinds), parakeets, hamsters and fish. I currently have a 3-year-old Papillon, and I previously cared for a dog who lived to be 14 years old, so I'm familiar with the needs of both energetic young dogs and senior dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I'll treat every dog and cat with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I recently finished college and will be home for the summer, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pet. I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply spending time together. Since I have a flexible schedule this summer, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with Benji! She took such great care of him and kept me updated with photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Benji was happy, comfortable, and well cared while he was with her. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and trustworthy Rover sitter!”
“Jennifer was great: caring, prompt, accommodating, and attentive. She repeatedly offered to go out if her way to offer additional assistance while I was physically incapacitated and unable to walk my dog.”
“Haven was so great with our dog. She was available on short notice and went above and beyond to take care of our dog that has anxiety. He felt very comfortable with her right away. I would highly recommend Haven as a dog walker/sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. As an elementary teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, which carries over into how I care for animals as well. I currently have my own 8-month-old Labradoodle, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, routines, walks, feeding, and all the love and patience they need. I also help care for my family’s Golden Retriever, Suzie, and have watched dogs for family and friends over the years. I always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have my own 8-month-old Labradoodle. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. As an elementary teacher, I have a consistent schedule during the school year, and now that it’s summer, I have even more flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I care for every pet as if they were my own, because I know I would want the same level of love, attention, and care for my own dog. Their safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I also make sure pets have access to fresh water and follow their usual feeding and walking routines to help them feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, and I always follow instructions closely to make sure their pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while maintaining the routine they’re used to.
About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love them so much! I have experience with puppies as well as our senior friends. Walks and playtime are my specialty! I work at home and am able to take great care of your pup. I have a yard and am close to a park for plenty of outside time. I can adjust to the routine your dog is used to. I am very flexible. I take one client at a time so my whole focus will be on your dog. Just let me know your needs.
About: The dogs I have taken care of have always received excellent tlc. I am able to use commands, for example sit, stay, and place! I have experience with senior dogs administering oral medication. I will keep a close eye on the geriatric dogs and make sure they don’t have any issues. I am very flexible when it comes to caring for pets. I’ll be able to get to the pets as soon as I get off of work. If I don’t work then I’ll usually be open all day. I work 7a-3p. I’m off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Unfortunately I cannot provide boarding in my apartment because it’s a 2 pet policy. When I’m in the clients home I’ll let the pet roam freely. I will also pick up after they do their business. I feel that a dog and human bond is really unbreakable, so I will be comfortable with any pet that I connect with. I’ll also need to know where things are, I.e food, treats, leash.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Long Grove is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Long Grove
Leah is a wonderful dog walker and we couldn’t be happier with her! She is always on time, dependable, and very accommodating. Leah is caring, trustworthy, and clearly enjoys spending time with Louise. It gives us great peace of mind knowing our dog is well looked after while we’re away. We highly recommend Leah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Andreina since she started walking my dog. She has been very reliable, flexible , and responsive when it comes to booking. She has been very prompt and professional and my dog very much likes her and. Feels comfortable with her and I will continue to use her and recommend her to others who are looking for a reliable and caring person to look after their pet
Yuliia has been a great help with our busy schedule! She is great at communication, sharing very detailed feedback about each walk and about our puppy, and helped us a lot with some additional extra tasks (like cleaning his playpen a bit, changing the water, etc) Our pup loves her!!! Highly recommended!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. She cared for them with so much love, patience, and expertise, and it was clear she treated them like her own. She kept me updated with frequent communication and shared lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated her flexibility — when I had a scheduling conflict one day, she was incredibly understanding and willing to work around it without hesitation. That kind of reliability means a lot. I would 100% hire Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Long Grove on Rover is $21.4 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 12,313 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 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 Long Grove.

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 Long Grove. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
