About: I've been so tremendously lucky to have several dogs come into my family over the years become my everything. No two a like in the slightest: mixed breeds from small to large, gentle and slow to rough and tumble. Each one through their own ways thought me just how important it is to understand the uniqueness in an animal, love it completely and care specifically for their individual needs. I am very flexible with my personal schedule and love to use my time to make sure your baby is well cared for when you need it most! My care service runs by a simple idea, I'm not just here for a single task I'm here to be your pets personal concierge. From the moment I walk in the door and not until well after I leave, my Job is to make sure your loved one is taken care of, safe, and of course happy as can be.
“Sarah was wonderful in communicating with us and taking Elle on a walk for us. We appreciated that she took the time for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we were all set. Of course, Elle loved her too!”
“Christine, what a godsend. She helped me through a tough situation for which I will forever be grateful. I would rebook this woman's services for everyday if I could afford it. She's kind, great with my little Vinnie, forever has a smile on her face, timely, dependable and helpful. You could not go wrong using her as your dog walker. Thank you Christine for a wonderful experience.”
“Jennifer is amazing with our dogs and really helped us out when we needed her. Animals clearly love and feel comfortable with her; even my chihuahuah who hates everyone comes up to her. Will be using Jennifer again and again. Thanks so much for taking good care of our girls”
“Beth was great! We have a large dog who can be pretty skittish around new people, especially those entering the house. When Beth came through they became fast friends as our dog, Brandy, eased up to Beth almost immediately. Highly recommend Beth!”
“Amy S. was very professional and responsive. She took time to get to know me and my fur baby. We scheduled a virtual call and in-person meeting. After both, I felt very comfortable and she didn’t disappoint! I would definitely hire Amy S. again!”
“Just another endorsement for the time, effort, and love that Stephanie brings to the pets in her care. We've worked with some great dog walkers over the years, but Stephanie's big heart and her special nature truly shine a bit more than the rest.”
“Madison did a great job walking a Bubi ❤️🤗 it wasn’t hard for her to walk her additional 30 minutes in order to fulfill our kind request ! Outstanding job !❤️🩷 Thanks very much”
“Glen was available very last minute to walk our pup. He responded quickly to messages, came at the right time, and sent a photo and an update after the walk. I’d recommend Glen and would book again!”
“Jackson I 10/10 recommend!! I will be scheduling with him again in the future! As a new user on here I was very skeptical with all of this. I have a big pup who is very hyper-active. He was amazing and very professional with all aspects. From the communication, reassurance, and detailed plan (he will provide). I felt so much better about this process! I know my dog can be a lot for other people but he was a champ!! Thank you so much again! For taking care of my baby as your own✨✨✨✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”
“Peyton continues to be the most amazing dog walker! She truly cares about our 10 year old pup and even hand feeds him to make sure he eats while we are away! Honestly can’t say enough good things about Peyton. We’re so glad we found you!! Thank you!”
“Jessica has been great with our dog, Bear. He has some behavioral issues we are working on, but Jessica has been confident and caring with him. She is dependable and provides great feedback after their walks.”
About: I graduated from University of Illinois this May, and I am looking to make some money before starting work at the end of July. I know first-hand how important a pet is to you/your family, and how important finding reliable care is, so I'm here to help! I have grown up taking care of my family pets (a cat and dog) and many others around my neighborhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes, and I look forward to meeting yours! I have a fairly flexible schedule, and flexible cancellation policy. I will try my best to accept same day bookings, so please reach out to me, and I would be glad to make something work! I am very patient and am glad to work with your pet to meet their needs. I am also a very active person, so I would be glad to take your dog on a longer walk or run if you would like.
About: I have walked dogs for a very large part of my life. I spent a summer a couple years ago walking my neighbor's dog, and I spent a year and a half volunteering at the Naperville Area Humane Society where I cleaned kennels, socialized with dogs, and took the dogs out for walks. This means I have experience handling dogs who are a little stressed out, or who are unfamiliar with me. I am available all days of the week over the summer, unless I am traveling. I am willing to spend as much time as needed with your dog each visit. My experience at the shelter means I am able to listen and understand your dogs needs. If they are uncomfortable in a situation, I know how to get them out of it.
About: I have cared for dogs for neighbors, friends, and family over the years, and I also have two dogs of my own. Having grown up around dogs, I understand the importance of providing them with plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they are my own and strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I currently work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I am available most evenings throughout the week. I also have flexible weekend availability and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking them on walks, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, administering medications if needed, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I understand that pets can feel stressed when their owners are away, so I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.
About: 12+ Years of experience working with and caring for both dogs and cats. Briefly worked the summer at the Lake Forest Kennel Club taking care of and spending time with boarded cats and dogs. I’ve personally cared for numerous family pets. In addition, I have also had numerous "exotic" pets from rats to snakes and have taken car of numerous other "exotics" as well. No pet is off-limits to me! I have volunteered at numerous animal shelters in the Chicagoland area and gained valuable animal care experience. I'm an animal lover at heart, and enjoy taking care of and spending time with all animals! I work from home 2 days a week and 3 days in the office. My office days usually consist of me being gone between 6-8 hours. Previous boarders have all done well while I’m away, and enjoy the company of my other two pups. I live in a ranch house with my two dogs and two cats. They are very familiar with dogs, and are used to new friends coming in and out. I have a pet gate in case I need to separate animals, but have never had problems in the past.
About: My dad is a veterinarian so I’m experienced with pets of all kinds! I’ve been walking and pet sitting in my neighborhood since early middle school. The pictures on my profile are just some of the animals I’ve cared for in the past. I’m happy to take some cute check-in photos if you request it :) I’m currently a senior studying at the University of Miami. I would love to spend my free time giving your pet the best care possible! I have a two level apartment with a dog park and great neighborhood for walks! I’m happy to follow whatever schedule is most familiar and comfortable for your pet. I’ll provide you with my phone number, and you’re welcome to check in with me at any point!

Gillian was absolutely amazing with my Dalmatian I would definitely recommend her over and over again. She put my little guy at ease and he always came back smiling and he would hug her when she got here, so I would say he’s a very happy client, that adored her. Thanks Gillian! We appreciate you!
Lauren is an exceptional walker with unmatched qualifications. Her level of care goes beyond anything that any other walker can provide. I've had great experiences with every dog walker we've had over the years on Rover, including Lauren. Every walker has been highly reliable, compassionate, and a good communicator - including Lauren. But Lauren is also an experienced veterinary nurse, which makes her combined qualifications entirely unmatched in my experience. Having previously owned a mature business, one of the many perks was being able to choose who I worked with. Being able to turn away a prospective customer - or letting go a current customer - is a reward for any successful business owner or practitioner. Consider yourself fortunate if your dog is in Lauren's great care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Naperville 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 .

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 Naperville. 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 Naperville.

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 Naperville. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
