“Mary was so great with Milo, especially for his first walk with Rover ? can tell she really has a passion for dogs and making sure they feel comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly walker/sitter!”
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide frequent opportunities for them to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.
“Thank you so much Katherine!! Your patience and calmness really helped Mazel feel comfortable and enjoy her walk! We cant wait to see you again. Appreciate you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.
About: We're a family of five who adore pets of all kinds! We had a wonderful dog named Peace for about six years and plenty of experience petsitting for friends and relatives. Due to travel commitments, we currently have no pets-- which gives us plenty of time to care for yours. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works on a hybrid schedule, which gives us plenty of flexibility and allows us to be home for the majority of the day. Our daughter is currently enrolled in online high school, so she has plenty of time to walk, care for, and play with your pets! We have a large fenced yard and are able to crate your pets if provided. We'll take dogs for walks a minimum of twice a day and let them roam in the yard/provide at least a couple more potty breaks.
“Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!”
“Tanya came over to meet our pup the week before our scheduled walks, which was really nice to be able to meet her and go over things. Tanya has been very quick with communication and is reliable. She was very caring with our dog and even checked in on how our dog was doing after her spay surgery. We will continue to use Tanya in the future!”
About: I've always had dogs my whole life. Friends and family can always rely on me to take care of their pets or check in on their pets whenever they are out of town or busy at work. I will feed, walk, and play for however much time is needed. I currently work early mornings but there is someone always at the house to feed, play and keep your furry friends company! My whole day after work is completely open so I can't wait to take care of them. Huge fenced yard as well as a my own pet to play with your furry friend if needed. Plenty of toys to keep them occupied as well as plenty of treats to spoil them.
“Elva always does a great job walking our dog. She communicates well and always lets us know about changes or if there is anything we need to know about our dogs walk.”
“We had a great experience with Jenny! She was right on time and kept us updated throughout the walk. Our dog was happy and well cared for. We were very pleased and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica is amazing! She came over early to meet nyx, sent updates and took our girl on long, sniffing walks while we were away. She was respectful and caring and wonderful!”
“Sundas is fantastic! She took such good care of my puppy Benjamin. Sent tons of pictures and videos from check-ins and walks. Benjamin always looked like he was having such a good time with her. She clearly loves dogs and is really responsible! Strongly recommend Sundas!”
“Elizabeth was easy to work with and provided timely feedback of walks. She left updates on each walk along with pictures of our dog each day. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for and walked all types of dogs, from small breeds to large dogs up to 80 pounds, old and young. Friends, family and neighbors trust me because I have a calm, caring energy that dogs naturally respond to. I’m dependable, loving and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently retired and home most of the time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, affection and frequent walks. I truly treat every fur baby as if they were my own. I live in an apartment, so walks and outdoor breaks are frequent. When house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from growing up with them to raising my own now. I currently care for a black Lab with a strong personality, so I understand leash control, structure, and clear boundaries. I’m calm, consistent, and confident with all breeds, including high-energy or reactive dogs. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, cleanup, and calming routines. Whether your dog needs structured exercise or just a reliable visitor, I’m ready to show up. I work part-time with a consistent, flexible routine that allows me to care for your dogs during the day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins: • Mondays after 11:00 AM • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 8:00 AM If your dog needs structured exercise, calm energy, or just a mid-morning break, I’ve got you covered. While I do not offer in-home boarding, I provide dependable drop-ins and walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I live with my own dog, Sam, who is reactive to other animals, so I cannot bring pets into my home — but this also means I understand how to work calmly and respectfully with dogs that may need space or structure. I’m confident handling leash reactivity, high-energy dogs, and special instructions.
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I get along with all my neighbors’ dogs and my neighbors rely on me to take care of them some times. My old roommate has a golden retriever and I love taking care of him, giving him a bath and walking him. I have two cats at home and I even taught them some tricks! I’m currently working part time only on Mondays and Thursdays. So I have lots of free time outside of work taking care of your dogs and playing with them! I also have a car so I can drive to wherever you are and take your dogs for a walk where they are the most comfortable with. I live right next to the bike trail and woods, which is a paradise for dogs! If you have an athletic or active dog, I’ll take your dog running the trails, swimming in the pond, and have all the fun in the outside world! If your dog is less active, I’ll give your dog all the comfort and love at home, making sure they are well fed and entertained.

Tanya came over to meet our pup the week before our scheduled walks, which was really nice to be able to meet her and go over things. Tanya has been very quick with communication and is reliable. She was very caring with our dog and even checked in on how our dog was doing after her spay surgery. We will continue to use Tanya in the future!
Elizabeth was an amazing care taker of our dog Sammy. She was very friendly and always on time. She even gave him extra care when he was having tummy issues. She also took the cutest photos of him which really touched our hearts. I would highly recommend Elizabeth for her wonderful care taking services! Excellent job!
First time using Rover and I have full confidence in Claire C. I have a senior dog with health issues so I’m always concerned but Claire allows me to relax and focus on my job. Her communication is perfect and ability to adjust to dogs needs are fantastic. I appreciate her. Highly recommend.
We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.
Mirna is amazing! Milo looks forward to his walks with Mirna because she lets him take walk at his own pace and is so sweet around him. We look forward to her "Rover Card" every day because she is very detailed with her notes and you can not only tell she has experience with dogs, but also loves them. Thanks for everything you do.

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 Niles. 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 Niles.

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 Niles. 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.
