“Jenny is the best! She goes above and beyond to take care of our pup, and he is always so excited to see her. We love knowing he is in the best hands. She also updates us on how he did with his walks!”
About: Since I was 11, my neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs + cats. I have handled very large dogs but also small dogs without struggle, with a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. I have worked with multiple special needs animals and can administer any kind of medicine. I am a student so I have summer off right now, but start school august 25th. Most important holidays I will be gone out of town for. I am in a boating family, so most weekends we try to get out onto the lake during the summer!! Mostly only free during summer and Christmas break, I try to keep my calendar up to date but feel free to always reach out! I have a fenced in yard with enough space for your pups to run around and play. My neighborhood is a very safe and quiet area. I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!
“Dar is my go to! She’s so communicative, punctual and detailed with all of her visits. I appreciate the extra care and attention she pays to my 2 big girls. They can be pullers and a little wild, but she handles them with care and grace.”
About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.
About: I have always been an animal lover and have been a dog parent for nearly 15 years (currently mom to two dogs and one human!) I'm also a hobby pet photographer and pride myself on great communication -- I'll be sure to snap adorable photos of your fur baby to provide real time updates (pupdates). I know the importance of finding someone trustworthy to care for your babies and have a high bar for excellent care! My dogs are also reactive to other dogs and fairly large/strong, so I am very comfortable and experienced with handling this. I am available many days during lunchtime while working from home as well as most weekends. My schedule can often be flexible and I'm happy to discuss your needs to make sure we are aligned! I currently have two dogs so I am focused on care that is at your home and/or on walks. Walking dogs is my favorite activity - rain or shine/summer or winter - I love helping them get fresh air. I will follow your guidance for any in-home care (cats, dog pop ins, etc.)
“We have been using Nancy as a weekly dog walker for our pup and she has been great! Very communicative and makes sure our dog is well taken care of. Very happy to have found her and looking forward to using her going forward.”
About: I grew up around many dogs. My parents LOVE English Bulldogs and we always had 2-3 in our home whether we were fostering or they were ours. A few years ago we found a cat in the woods and decided to add to the family! After moving out, I have decided to rescue two cats of my own and they have been such a blessing! I also watch my friends dogs and cats from time to time. I am currently studying to be a personal trainer and work at a gym opening a women’s fitness program. My schedule is pretty open currently as I am studying for my personal trainers certificate! I am also a bodybuilder so my life really revolves around the gym! My schedule is currently very flexible. I currently have two cats, and I play with them often. They have many toys and cat trees. I would consider myself very playful. I also love to walk dogs! My bulldogs at home love walks 1-2 times a day which I have been able to help out with when there. I hope to offer similar services!
About: I've been around pets my entire life and know firsthand what it takes to truly care for them. For the past 7 years, I've been fully responsible for my own dog, handling everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime and training. I know how to read a dog's needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. As a college student home for the summer, I'm available and flexible throughout the day, your pet won't be left waiting! As a college student home for the summer, I have a lot of free time and flexibility throughout the day to dedicate to your pet. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or an overnight stay, I can work around your schedule to make sure your pet is always taken care of. Your pet won't be left waiting, I'm around and happy to give them the time and attention they deserve! My own pets are well cared for both indoors and outdoors, so I'm very experienced with keeping animals happy, safe, and active in all settings. For drop-ins and overnight stays at your home, I make sure to follow your routines and rules exactly as you have them, your pet stays in the environment they already know and love, which keeps them calm and stress-free. I'm confident and comfortable handling pets of all sizes and energy levels, so no matter your dog's breed or personality, they'll be in capable hands!
About: Veterinary student at the university of Illinois. I grew up with dogs and have always been around dogs and cats! I have experience in basic care, medical care and even some training. I have a 6mo golden retriever puppy with me as well. I am currently not in school and am working flexible hours at an animal hospital! I am free most evenings and weekends! So I can adjust to most schedules I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly golden retriever that loves to play, but will also chill out if that’s what your pet prefers! I enjoy walks, playing and keeping your pet not only supervised but also entertained!
About: I will be as obsessed with your dog as I am with mine! I adopted my 10 year old Terrier when she was 3 months old. I have pet sat for many friends throughout the years. I have grown to learn how to walk even the stubborn dogs (mine doesn't like to walk in rain or snow). I understand the uncertainty an owner may feel to have someone walk their dog because I felt the same way when I first started using Wag. I know that your dog is part of your family and will tream them as I would treat mine.
About: I am a person that loves all animals. Some pet parents will leave a small list of the schedule I need to follow. Whenever I come to hang with the cuties I’m always snapping pics and sending them to the pet parents. Just so everyone knows they are in good hands. Whatever it is that y’all need me to do I make sure to get the job done. Sometimes when I babysit if the parents need me to let the dogs out and feed them then I do it. So cats/dogs will get fed and taken out, we will play ball and have a load of fun. I promise I don’t bite and am very easy to talk to. If anyone ever has any questions feel free to ask!
About: Sensitive, friendly. I will never hurt or harm an animal. I have a son, he is 10 years old and he dreams of having animals. We are willing to play and love them as our own Any other time is negotiable, I go out of my way to accommodate pet owners. In the summer, any schedule, we'll make arrangements and In all weathers I don't have a house yet and therefore an apartment. I am ready to take them for long walks, to feed them at home or at your place, to wash them.
About: Hi, I’m Genesis. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant for four years and now pet sit full-time. That experience taught me how to care for all kinds of pets. Shy, energetic, senior, or on medication. I work a part-time job Monday through Friday from 10am–4pm. I leave the house for work during those hours, but outside of that time I am fully available and spend the majority of my day with your pet, making sure they get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. With a background in veterinary medicine, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that might be unsafe. Whether it’s dropped food, chewed-up toys, or open doors. I don’t allow dogs to meet other dogs while out on walks, and I never do any off-leash activities unless it’s in a securely fenced yard with your approval. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I’m comfortable handling anything from minor issues to emergencies if they come up. Your pet will be in good, experienced hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Prospect
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 for Dog Walking in Mount Prospect on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,540 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mount Prospect. 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 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 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 Mount Prospect.

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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
