“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: Hi! I’m Jessica, a lifelong dog lover - I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 10 🐶 While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I get my dog fix by fostering and volunteering with Second City Canine Rescue as an adoption event handler and foster babysitter. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and comfort levels. I'm comfortable with anxious or high-attachment dogs, senior dog care, and medication administration. I’m happy to welcome your pup into my home or stay with them in theirs. I’ll treat your dog like family and keep you updated with lots of pictures along the way! I’m available on weekends for boarding and house sitting and can typically extend this until Monday/Tuesday, when needed. My full time job allows for a lot of flexibility and I am able to stick to a pet’s normal routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

“This was our first time using Erica. She was great. She arrived within our pre set time frame, took Baxter on a good walk and played with him at home before leaving. I got cute pictures and he was happy and tired when we got home. She’s already been rebooked.”

“Deidre was AMAZING with my with two pups and can’t RECOMMEND her enough! Unfortunately, one of my dogs became very ill before I left for vacation and required extensive, round the clock care. Deirdre was able to administer all of the medications, stick to the strict food regimen, come by every 2 hours to check in, and even cleaned up all of the accidents from my sick pup. :/ She kept me updated throughout the trip with texts and pictures, asked questions when needed, and when my other dog sitter fell through at last minute, she was able to rearrange her schedule to cover. Overall, I am very grateful for her help and it truly put my mind at ease knowing Deirdre could be there to take care of them! Thank you again!”

She is a good kind soul who has a natural ability to gain trust of even the most leary of dogs. Thank you Lois! Thank You Rover! I wouldn't consider using another service.”

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!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Long Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Long Grove is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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.

As of November 2026, there are 12,141 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 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Grove. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
