About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
About: My husband and I have always been dog people. Growing up he had two labradors and I had a beagle. When we bought our house we adopted a senior lab. We spoiled him as much as we could and loved him unconditionally. After losing Ceasar two years ago, we walked into an animal shelter and that's where our baby, Uru-Kai, stole our hearts. I don't work on weekends, I have holidays off and the summer off. I already have a dog so I know how important it is to stick to a routine. Our current dog goes out on four walks a day. If he needs to go potty because he drank too much water we let him in the back yard. If he seems bored he rings the doorbell to be let in the backyard. When we need to leave the house our dog is put in his crate to ensure that he's safe and stays out of trouble while we're gone.
“Katherine is an excellent dog walker. My dog absolutely loves her, and she is always on time and does everything I’ve asked of her. Katherine gives me great peace of mind that my dog will be walked and played with when I’m at work all day.”
“I had back to back bunionectomies & was unable to walk our dog while my husband was out of town. Patrick came & saved the day……excellent with our 85 pound Shepherd/Goldendoodle mix!! He went above & beyond!! So grateful definitely will be using Patrick again!!”
“Jackie has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s always on time, reliable, and has taken the time to really get to know each of them. Her patience and dedication have even helped with some training along the way! We’ve had a consistently positive experience and truly appreciate the care and attention she gives. Would recommend, thank you!”
“So highly recommend Nick for your dog walking / care needs . Nick constantly kept up with our ever growing/changing dog. We can’t say enough about the care and time that Nick had for him.”
“Nelli was great- super responsive. This was our first dog walker experience and she walked me through all the steps and took great care of Ozzie! She went above and beyond to make sure she left our puppy tired with a little extra play!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am an absolute dog lover! I have a large fenced in yard that dogs love to play in. I look forward to caring for your furry friend and helping with whatever they need. I work from home and can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I’m available all day or night and weekends as well. Thank you! I have a dog and three children who will be able to play with your animal while I care for them in my home. I work from the house, so will spend the day with your dog. Your dog will have as much time playing in the backyard that they’d like!
About: I have taken care of my twin labs since they were 6 months old. I potty trained them, taught them how to walk up and down stairs. I walk them twice a day, play outside with them (weather permitting) and feed them and administer meds as needed I currently work part time in the evenings so I am available every day all day and on the weekends. I am available for late night visits as well I can easily crate your dog as necessary or spend time at your house with them so they aren’t lonely. Of course if the weather is nice we will go for a couple of walks or play outside
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.
“Joshua was wonderful! He responded right away and was flexible when I switched some of the details last minute. I'll definitely be using him for walks in the future. Thank you! :)”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life since I was 3 years old. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs up to 14 years old. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I regularly care for my family's dogs whenever my parents are out of town, handling daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I have cared for dogs and other pets for family members and friends while they travel. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs, my reliability, and the genuine care I provide to every animal I look after. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to maintain their normal routine so they feel happy and secure. As a Physical Therapy student, my weekdays can be busy with classes and studying, but caring for animals remains an important part of my daily routine. Every day, I make sure my pets are fed before I leave for school and again when I return home. I also stay on top of responsibilities such as cleaning the litter box and making sure all of my animals are comfortable and well cared for. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate additional time and attention to pet care. Because I balance a demanding academic schedule with caring for my own pets, I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining consistent routines. Pet owners can trust that their animals will receive dependable care, attention, and affection while they are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a comfortable environment for the pet. I understand that pets feel most secure when they can stay in their normal routine, so I make every effort to follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. For dog walks, I will ensure dogs are securely leashed, remain aware of our surroundings, and provide exercise appropriate for their age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I will make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean up after them as needed, and spend quality time giving them attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I am dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.
“Isaiah responded quickly to my last-minute request and was able to walk my dog, Molly, when needed. He did a great job and we would love to have him walk Molly again.”

About: I am a sound healer, wife, mother to my toddler and animals. My husband is a city of chicago worker and we love the chicago area :) We are very active and love to go on long walks and love being outside with our dogs! I absolutely adore cats and love to spend time feeding the feral cats in my neighborhood. In my spare time I also love to go to the local park with my daughter to watch the squirrels and birds. I love nature. I am good with all types of animals and they love me! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and some chickens in our backyard. Our dogs are very friendly and love making new friends whenever they can. I truly love watching and meeting new animals and enjoy this type of work. Your pet will love and I cannot wait to meet and take care of them. Please reach out so I can help you with your pet needs! My schedule is open and flexible. My sound healing job varies but typically does not get in the way of pet sitting/ dog walking. Most days I am at home with my toddler or we are out exploring the parks. We have many pets in our home that we care for. I love to work with lists to help me to ensure all tasks are completed and that I am organized.
About: I've been around animals my whole life, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I currently have a cat and a dog, and I've also raised five puppies, which gave me plenty of hands-on experience with potty training, socialization, and creating healthy routines. I'm available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with open availability on weekends. I'm happy to accommodate morning visits, midday drop-ins, and weekend pet care whenever possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client's home, I make it a priority to stick to their pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: I have previously worked in a dog and cat daycare, boarding, and grooming center for three years, and have watched pets of family friends since 2018. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more, and my family regularly fosters kittens! I am comfortable with feeding, giving medication (not injections), walking, and providing care for all types of pets. My schedule is available for overnight care at your home, daily drop-ins, single visits, or walks. Please ask me about any accommodations you may need and I will see if I can provide them. In your house, I am happy to follow any instructions about leashed or unleashed time on walks or in your backyard, will feed on your schedule, and can spend time with your pet as much as you need. I am happy to try and accommodate any changes you may need to make, give updates with photos, and tell you any behavioral or medical changes as soon as possible.

Amazing, simply amazing! Maria really knows dogs well, and I'm very comfortable with our dog in her care since she knows how to handle him with his prong collar. He's a great walker, but needs to stay away from other dogs on the path! She's the perfect dog walker if you ask me!
Michelle walked my 5 month old puppy the last two nights and I’m so happy. I don’t get home from work until close to midnight so it’s so nice to not have to go for a long walk right now. The walk got her crazy nighttime energy out and now I’m able to catch up on love island comfortably on the couch instead of having to go on a long walk at 1am. Michelle sent some picture updates which was cool. I obviously will be booking again. Thanks for making my life easier.
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!
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.
Erin is absolutely incredible!!! We have two amazing pups, one who is a nervous, recent rescue. Our newer girl was struggling with a different walker, snapping and growling at each visit. Within minutes of meeting Erin, our little lady had clearly welcomed Erin into the fold. Erin is helping our girl to settle into life and gain more confidence with each walk! I would recommend Erin to anyone!!!!
Suzy has such a gentle aura! Wally made himself right at home. She was great in sending updates and photos. Suzy also made a point to adjust to Wally’s schedule and his training needs; this was a major point for us when looking for a dog sitter. She is reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind.
Laura is absolutely wonderful with our Fernando! For starters, she’s very flexible and accommodating due to my ever-changing schedule. Secondly, she’s great with taking Fern out for his little walks/potty breaks, and even plays with him a bit before she heads out for the day, updating me on the new tricks they’re practicing! Lastly, Laura is great with communicating with me regarding everything involving Fern and their walks together. Thank you Laura for doing an awesome job!

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 Norridge. 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 Norridge.

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 Norridge. 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.
