About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dog types, am good with handling behavior issues, and even if your dog has medical needs and I always like to give lots of love to sweet pups. I do have a part time job as well and would be away about 6 hours. Open availability on weekends! I typically work 4-5 days a week. I will make sure your dog is getting feed as told, lots of potty breaks, daily exercise, treats if requested, and lots of love and attention.
About: I’ve owned lots of dogs/cats in my life and have worked at 2 different daycares for dogs. I have the patience and knowledge of different breeds and their care. I also have some training knowledge with reactive and rambunctious pups! I currently work part time so I have open availability to spend time with your fur babies! Mornings or night works for me as long as I have decent notice. I live on quite a bit of land so I take my dog out to walk and run in the field. At clients homes I do the same with their yard or if no yard, a walk and playing. However the family wants, I can do.
About: I have been caring for pets for a long time! I am very familiar with alarms and enjoy caring for other people’s pets! Nothing scares me. Not even 4 litter boxes. I am the kind of person who does it all. I’m commonly baking or gardening, but will always make time in my life to care for pets! They love us no matter what so they deserve lots of love! I am familiar with alarms and comfortable with cameras. I try to treat everyone’s home with respect and clean up after myself. Pet care can get messy but I’ll find the paper towels and clean up, don’t worry!
About: I have had years of experience with kids from babysitting and being a camp counselor along with pet setting. Parents would rely on me to take care of the kids as well! I currently work as a registered behavior technician from 9-1 and I’m also a junior at iusb studying health science! My classes are online for the summer session. The dogs will always have my full attention so I can always make sure they aren't getting into anything along as always having a play mate! I will make sure they eat great meals and have a great time.
“Lindsay was great! Very quick to respond and could walk Remy on short notice. Her and her kids even stayed to play with him a little in the house!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone”
About: I have always grown up with pets, from dogs to rodents I’ve always had some fur little friend in my life. I adore being able to make a pets life more enjoyable and bright, whether that means going out and about or being a couch potato, I want to be there. I just recently got accepted to a master program at Notre Dame (crazy excited), due to that I have class from eight to noon Monday through Thursday and for the month of August and partially into September. I will have a Friday class however most afternoons I should be free and if not, I will always work with my schedule and your schedule to find the best time that works to see your pets! I personally love having a directions list, something that I can follow to keep both your mind and my mind at peace knowing that what is written down will make sure that you pet will be safe and still have a good time. I would also love to be able to meet you and your pet before any bookings so that both you and your pet feel comfortable with who I am!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, my 1 year old Great Dane, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, feeding routines, and lots of love! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making sure every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Boarding is open 24/7. For walking and checking in on pets, I currently have openings on weekdays starting at 6pm, overnights and all weekends. House sitting will be available 6pm to 6am and all weekends as well. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in my home or yours, always making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. In my home, I can provide a welcoming environment with 5 acres of property, playtime, potty breaks, walks, fresh water, and meals according to your pet’s regular routine. I also have soft crates if needed. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful for pets, so I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. When caring for pets in their own home, I will follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine and help them feel safe in their familiar surroundings. I can assist with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and keeping their space clean. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.
“Hannah was great! She was friendly and reliable, my dog loves her! She came every weekday for 3 weeks and he looked forward to her daily visits! She was always on time and we have already booked some more play dates!”
About: Hello I am Emily! I am a great dog-walker, tug a war player and a responsible dog lover! My schedule is very flexible. I live just a block away from a big park. I have had big labradors all my life but I don’t discriminate! I love small and massive dogs alike. When I was younger I started a dog biscuit business and would cater dog parties. I hope you allow me the chance to get to babysit your 4 legged best friend! I am a small business owner and can typically step out of my store whenever your pup needs me. My shop is right downtown st. Joesph Working in clients home is best as my dog is a little to rambunctious at times. I’ve found it to be most comfortable for your pet to be in there own home with all treats, toys and normal comforts.
About: I am an animal lover; I have been my entire life.I have experience working with senior animals, I have experience with administering all medications; whether it’s injections, oral liquids, or pills, or topicals. I treat my dog and my cat like they’re part of my family. I want your pets to feel loved while you’re away, so I will do everything I can to ensure that happens. I will make sure they are fed exactly as you need me to, I will administer medications (if they need them), we will go on walks, and if they are allowed to sleep in a bed, they can sleep with me also. I will make sure your home is straightened up before your return as well. I have a completely open schedule; so I can stop over any time of the day that you need care. Whether it’s early morning, or late evening, I can make that work for you. I will treat your home as if it is my own home. I will clean up after your pet and myself. I can administer medications (if needed), I will feed as you need me to; and I promise to give your pet lots of love and cuddles.

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 Niles. 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 Niles 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 Niles. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
