“My experience with Hannah was wonderful! She took good care of my Teeko while I was away. She sent updates and pictures daily. I appreciated that! I will definitely use her again when I go out of town. 100% recommend.”
“Henry responded to my last minute request and was able to help me walk my dog on weekdays. He’s reliable and my dog built trust with him easily. Definitely recommend!”
“Valentina was so great and readily available at last minute ! Both of my dogs had a moment where they misbehaved and she handled them so well. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, consistent care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their routine. I am reliable and truly passionate about creating a stress free experience for both vets and their owners. Pet care first perfectly into my daily routine because I am a full time mom ( grown kids) and home full time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. Mealtime, walks and play. I take time to learn their personalities and what comforts them.
“Genesis was wonderful with Murci, From the very beginning, she showed so much love, responsibility, and a great connection with him. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that Murci really enjoyed his time with her. I’m sure he’s going to miss her (and so will we!). Thank you, Genesis, for walking and caring for him with so much love. Highly recommended!”
“Kira is great with communication which I appreciate so much! She brings great energy when we text and is very attentive to my dog’s needs. My dog is a ball of energy and she handles her so well. I truly appreciate her kindness and patience with my dog.”
“Maverick is obsessed with Jennifer and mom is grateful to have found her. Her communication is flawless and she cares for his as if he was her own. As always, thank you, Jennifer!”
“Luzmar provided an exceptional dog-walking service for Hank! From the moment they met, it was evident that Luzmar genuinely cared for Hank's well-being. Their professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail ensured a safe and enjoyable walk every time. Hank always returned home happy and tired, which speaks volumes about the quality of their walks. I highly recommend Luzmar to any pet parent looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our Weimaraner and Puggle were clearly happy and comfortable while staying at Stephen’s home. He kept me updated with regular messages and sweet pictures, which really gave us peace of mind. He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease leaving them in his care. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with him again.”
“Karla was so sweet and took such great care of Aurora! She made sure to send a lot of pictures and keep me updated on their walk. I will definitely be rebooking with Karla again!!!! Thank you so much 🐾💗✨”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog sitter who treats every pup like part of the family. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, exercised, and loved—while keeping you updated and worry-free. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities—from couch potatoes to zoomie champions. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, leash manners, and sticking closely to your dog’s usual schedule. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, calm companionship, or all of the above, I adjust to what they need. You can expect: • Lots of one-on-one attention • Regular photo and video updates • Respect for your home and your rules • Clear, prompt communication • A sitter who actually enjoys hanging out with your dog I understand dogs communicate in their own ways, and I’m patient with shy pups, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra care. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. If you’re looking for someone dependable, calm, and genuinely dog-obsessed, I’d love to help care for your pup while you’re away. I am a dog Mom of 3 (small, medium, & large LOL) with a strong support system at home allowing me to assist you with your dog sitting needs. Having recently resigned from a very stressful corporate America role, I am ready for a meaningful, positive experience that gets me excited to go to work and take the best care of your fur babies having 3 spoiled pups of my own. I also have several years of experience with cat care for my neighbors who travel often. Keeping pets on schedule is very important to me and my pups. Following client instructions regarding feeding times, walks or time in the yard, applicable medications and/or treats, playtime, bedtime or whatever is needed for the best experience for the owner & pet!
About: From an early age I began petsitting a variety of dogs in my neighborhood, family, and of friends. From Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Jack Russells, Dachshunds, Beagles, Hounds, Dobermanns, and more I have experience with a range of breeds. I often used to petsit for my neighbors who had five dogs. I also have owned a Rottweiler, Rhodesian Ridgeback and Bichon Frisé. I have always regarded having a connection with animals as an important quality and have never met an animal that didn’t like me! I recently left my position at Florida International University College of Hospitality and I want to lend my services in pet care to my community. I am available fulltime and I am able to provide transparent communication throughout the week. I want to ensure you that your pet is getting the best care possible and you can focus on work, vacation, or whatever reason my services are required. Able to provide frequent walks and top quality care. I don’t have pets of my own and I prefer to house sit but I am able to accommodate boarding at my apartment if preferred with regular walks.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Melrose Park is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Melrose Park
Bianca did an amazing job! She is by far the best and most professional sitter I’ve used on the app so far. Seeing her level of care makes it completely clear why she has over 100 repeat clients. She was incredibly punctual, consistent, and trustworthy, taking absolute best care of all my animals. I asked for updates and she was very thorough with hers which gave me complete peace of mind. Every single day, she made sure to give my dog dedicated playtime at home, all while still taking her on a full 1/2-mile walk around my block as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care!
Amazing!!!!!!!! Valeria is the best!!!!!! I had an issue with my door and she sat there and waited until maintenance came and stayed to walk Aurora!!! I am so happy that u chose Valeria and I know Aurora is as well!!!! Will definitely be booking with you again!!!! Thank you so so much 🥰
Sophia did a fantastic job walking my dog! She was super attentive, making sure my pup was happy and comfortable during the 30-minute walk. Her communication was excellent, with quick updates and photos that kept me in the loop. My dog came back tired and content, and I couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Highly recommend Sophia for a reliable and caring dog-walking experience!”
Samantha was punctual, nice and sweet. She did a good job with our big dog for the first time. Unfortunately we did not establish beforehand that she would be bringing a guest with her into our house and I was just not comfortable that it wasn’t communicated upfront and not professional. Since walkers should all be background-verified before entering someone’s private property, not knowing in advance did not work for me as it was a liability and breech of trust for us. She is nice girl though I hope she can communicate that in the future to potentially have more repeat clients.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Melrose Park on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,598 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Melrose Park. 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 Melrose Park. 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 Melrose Park.

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 Melrose Park. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
