“Melanie is a fantastic dog walker and sitter! She walked and cared for our active Golden Retriever while we were traveling, and she did an excellent job. From her communication to the care she provided, Melanie was dependable and attentive throughout. She is very easy to work with, very responsible, and so kind and patient. We felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! I currently have a 7 year old border collie lab named Goofy! He is the absolute most important love in my life and I spoil him completely (as shown in my profile picture)! It makes me happy to see him so happy! 🥰❤️ Royce listed is my boyfriend’s pup, but technically mine as well 🤍 I have 15+ years of experience with dogs and have had many cats growing up and into my adult years. I have a full-time job, but I do not work full-time hours. I essentially work as a medical rep and only go to my facilities when a case is scheduled; on average I work about 10-15 hours a week which is M-F only. With this being said, my schedule is fairly flexible and I can be available any time of day, including weekends! The care and attention definitely depends on your pet’s specific needs. Your pet will be well cared for around the clock and have loads of attention!

“Traci came out to meet our German Shepherd and to take her for a walk. Our GSD can be slightly dog reactive. Traci got to see her in action and handled it marvelously. I see this being the start a beautiful relationship. Thanks Traci!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.

“Ellie is truly wonderful! She’s very kind, knowledgeable and reliable. We have a big dog and it’s easy to feel uneasy about other people walking and taking care of him, but we feel very comfortable with Ellie. We’re so so grateful for her time, expertise and care. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah has been to our house for a meet and greet and a walk with my two dogs. She has been great with communication prior to and following both appointments. She also had a wonderful way with my polar opposite personality dogs. She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”

“Josh was terrific! Our pitbull Lizzie thought he was great, too. Josh knows how to handle a dog, put on a complicated harness, and keep them on pace and well-behaved during the walk. We could tell Lizzie had a good time on the walk because she was wagging her tail and totally pooped out! Josh is reliable and mature. We look forward to booking him again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Prospect
This is the first time I have had to hire a dog walker for my pup. Emily was AMAZING! She took the time to come and meet me and Bama before I hired her to make sure it was a good fit for everyone. We hired her for 14 walks over a 10-day period. She arrived on time for every walk and left me a detailed note and a few pics letting me know how everything was going. She followed my instructions and even went above and beyond to make sure my dog was fulfilled and cared for every day I was away. Her communication was excellent. It was great not worrying if the person I hired to take care of my pup was going to do a good job. Emily took care of Bama as if it were her own dog. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Emily and I will definitely be hiring her again.
Hannah is truly wonderful! During the meet and greet she was so attentive and loving with our pup! She is detailed and truly honors pet owner wishes. Cooper loves Hannah and coming home to a tired pup feast great! She gave him a really good walk and we are so appreciative! Easy to communicate with and she does a great job keeping you in the loop with updates. Highly recommend her and we will for sure be requesting her again
Tina was very easy to communicate with. She visited us twice before the scheduled services to meet and allow the dogs to get to know her. I have 2 dogs, one of which is very shy around new people. Tina was very patient with her and allowed her to get to know her. I would highly recommend Tina for her patience, her enthusiasm and how awesome she was with the dogs.
Kaitlyn is extremely proactive asking clarifying questions to ensure she can give my dog the care and attention he needs. She's punctual and sent a cute update of Greg on their walk, as well as an update on his reaction when she first came into my house knowing that's something we're working on discipline-wise. You can tell she's an animal person, and I would trust her to walk and care for Greg whenever I need her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Mount Prospect is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 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.

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 Mount Prospect. 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 Mount Prospect 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 Mount Prospect. 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.
