“Ariana was great taking care of my dog. She took him for a solid walk, refilled his water, and he was super happy to have company when I was at work. She was also really communicative and was helpful in fitting him into her schedule.”
About: Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted dogs to be a big part of my life. I begged my parents for one, but instead they had me start dog sitting to prove I was responsible enough. After many dog sleepovers, we finally welcomed Kirby into our family for my 12th birthday! Caring for Kirby taught me that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. When I'm caring for your pet, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm working part time 2-3 nights per week, and have some weekend obligations. Other than that, pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I am committed to provide reliable care! I'll be paying close attention of surroundings to keep your dog safe! To assure peace of mind, I'll make it an intention to send updates after each adventure! And of course I will respect any route preferences :) When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention--my goal is to follow all care instructions as closely as possible. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“Caroline is so dependable and truly great with dogs. Sue absolutely loves our dog and he looks so forward to playing with her. I have complete trust in her knowing Cody is in great hands.”
“Amy came out to walk our lab, Ralph, on Christmas Eve with less than 24 hours notice! She responded to our last minute request right away and was extremely accommodating and professional. Ralph liked her right away and they enjoyed a nice long walk. I’m so grateful Amy was willing and able to help us out in our time of need! Highly recommend!”
“Katrina is a great and reliable person to check in on your fur-babies! She is so great with animals and my dog truly loved seeing her. She always gave great updates. I appreciated Katrina’s time and am very thankful for her!”
“Stephen is an incredible dog sitter and walker! He is incredibly professional, caring and attentive. We loved getting photos of our dog after each visit - both action shots and close ups. We are grateful for Stephen's attention to detail, professionalism and care.”
About: I’ve fostered over 50 animals and just enjoy being with animals and want to show them the world. I’ve worked with dogs from 1 month to 9 years. I will be attending the university of Tennessee this fall and I’d love either morning to afternoon work. I always communicate before bookings and will try to be as flexible as possible! I’m very patient and I’ve fostered over 50 animals so I’ve worked with all personalities and ages. I try to care for dogs like they are my own. I have a rescue who is an anxious dog so I have experience in that as well.
“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!”
“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”
“I chose Amy as my walker the fist time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is fantastic. I love the peace of mind the company policies provide me. The check in cards are a great feature and the fact that I can select to receive Rover messages as texts is also a great option. The app is user-friendly and works smoothly.”
“Klara has been amazing to work with and we look forward to continue working with her. She visits regularly to give our dog a bathroom break. She is very patient and was willing to go through several meet and greets so our pup could get used to her. Great communication. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life, recently worked with animals as big as horses and cows, to chickens and ducks. Friends and family trust me with their animals! My schedule is currently free, weekdays and weekends and nights! I am willing to work holidays. I will also walk in any type of weather! I have a fenced in backyard, with 2 very friend dogs for yours to play with! I do have crates (if needed) and lots of treats!
About: I’m a pre veterinary student, and I intern at an urgent care vet clinic, which gave me a lot of experience understanding important health signs, but also has taught me to be comfortable with dogs of all energy levels, personality, etc. Additionally, I am a dog walker at a local shelter. I’m comfortable giving meds, helping with senior pets, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. Whether your pup needs playtime, slow walks, or just some good snuggles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently interning part time and well as volunteering at a local shelter, but I have lots of free time this summer!. I have time during the days for walks and check ins and am so eager to spend the time I have in the area helping where I can! I have a dog that absolutely loves playing! He is very small, but he gets along with dogs of all sizes and can play in my fenced in yard! Also very comfortable hanging with your pets in whatever home situation you have!

Jenny was amazing with Shortcake. She took my chunk out on walks for me twice a day while I was away on a business trip. I love the photo updates and could tell that shortcake was really enjoying her time. I came hope to a very happy and well adjusted dog. I highly recommend Jenny!
Lacey was comfortable with Josh immediately! I can tell Josh is an animal lover and took great care of Lacey. He also was great about communicating and sent me pictures and updates of how she did on their walk. Josh is very reliable and came on time for Lacey’s walk. I will definitely reach out to Josh again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Northbrook on Rover is $19.26 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 13,050 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Northbrook. 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 Northbrook. 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 Northbrook.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Northbrook. 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.
