“I'm home with a fractured toe so I get to see how happy my dog is when he sees Amy! It's nearly a week since she started. She's always on time and takes him on nice long walks.”
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.
“Peyton is a fantastic dog walker. She's very reliable and obviously enjoys the time she spends with her pups. My little Brownie looked forward to her daily walks and when she realizes that Peyton won't be coming with us to our new place will be very disappointed. Seeing them together was great. Brownie adores Peyton, which is a testament to the attention she gets during her walking time. Thank you Peyton!!”
“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.”
“Beth is great with Jax! She’s reliable and can handle any situation. I know Jax is good hands when she comes to visit him. She is one of my regulars when I need a little extra loving for Jax due to my work schedule.”
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!
“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.”
“Thanks for taking such a good care of our dog ! Our dog loves to spend time with Madison and go for a walk ❤️ she gives her all the loving , care and a ton of belly rubs ❤️💝”
About: I've been around and taking care of dogs since before I can even remember. I know the ins and outs of dog care and have been a reliable source of dog sitting care for a number of family, friends, and neighbors. Dogs big or small I take pride and joy curating a a high quality and safe pet care experience for pet friends of all shapes and sizes. I am currently enrolled in a summer program course but will have plenty of time to drop in for walks and care! I also prioritize making time and always providing adequate, top-notch care for your pet. I want to treat every dog I meet like my own as I would want someone else to do the same! I will make sure they get the treats they deserve and are always feeling safe and comfortable.
“Sydney was amazing! She took such great care of Toshi during his walks, and he looked so happy in all the photos she sent. She kept me updated, was very communicative, and has such a positive attitude. You can really tell how much she loves animals. I’m so glad I chose her, and I’ll definitely book with her again. I highly recommend Sydney!”
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.
“Stephanie is awesome. We scheduled with her last minute and she was more than happy to help us. She took the cutest pictures of our pups. We will definitely book her again. Thank you again Stephanie”
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.
“Jennifer went above and beyond for my animals! We requested her at super short notice and she stepped up to take great care of our babies. She even took the liberty of walking our garbage back to the house, just to be helpful. Would definitely book again!!”
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 expertise and background lie in zoo and wildlife biology. For the past 10+ years, I’ve worked with a number of reputable animal and wildlife properties, including shelters, nature centers (e.g., Indiana Dunes State Park and Lyman Woods Interpretive Center), wildlife rehab. facilities (e.g., Willowbrook Wildlife Center), and zoological societies (e.g., Safari Lake Geneva). I have an unparalleled passion for animals of all breeds and species, possessing direct experience with the following: dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, malacostracans, arachnids, and various hooved mammals (horses, giraffes, camels, donkeys, zebras, antelope, etc.). Our family has also owned a diverse array of critters, great and small; my husband and I are currently proud pet parents to rats, a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, and an albino Florida kingsnake! As a part-time sitter, I am well-versed in walking, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. For the time being, I am working through Rover part-time on my days off. What better way to spend my free time than to love on pets? :) I’m happy to walk, bathe, feed, and provide medication if need be to your pet. I especially enjoy playtime (e.g. fetch) whether within my client's home, in a fenced-in yard, or at a local park.

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 .
As of July 2026, there are 13,485 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Naperville. 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 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.
