“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”

“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: Hi! I’m Anji and I’m a huge animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs- and sometimes cats- of all kinds. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family for years, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive watching over your furry family. Since I also have a dog named Astro, I understand from a more protective perspective. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a play break, or just a snuggle session while you’re away, I’m here to help! I’m very comfortable with: • Daily feedings, treats & water refills 🍖 • Long walks or short potty breaks 🚶♀️ • Administering medications 💊 • Playtime and enrichment 🧸 I’m based locally and ride a bike everywhere, so I can get to your home reliably and quickly. Don’t worry if you are a bit far away from my local town, I can take transportation to make it easier for you! I treat every pet like my own with patience, kindness, and lots of love. Let me know how I can make your pet feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your furry companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my days to make sure pets in my care get consistent attention, exercise, and affection, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. Since I’m often on my bike and working locally, I can easily adjust my route to stop in for walks, feedings, or overnight visits. Caring for animals brings me a sense of peace and purpose, so I make time for it just like I would for work, friends, or self-care. I also love building consistent routines with pets because I know how important it is for them to feel safe, secure, and well-loved while their humans are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible: from feeding times and walk schedules to preferred play styles and sleep spots. I respect your home like it’s my own, keeping things clean, quiet, and stress-free for both you and your pet. On top of pet-care, I can confidently say I can take care of your living accommodation as well. For drop-ins and walks, I give pets my full attention: making sure they get proper exercise, fresh water, and a little love before I leave. I also send photo updates and quick notes so you always know how your pet is doing. If I’m providing overnight care, I stay with your pet as much as possible, offering companionship and calm energy. I’m especially attentive at night and early morning when pets can feel most anxious in their owner’s absence. Overall, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home.
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: Hi, first a little bit of what I do: I am a digital media consultant and producer, working from home with a flexible schedule. Now for the animal lover in me: I grew up with animals and am comfortable with pets so if you have a cat and a dog, I am more than happy to be there for both of them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs, playing with cats so they aclimate to people as they prepare for adoption. Personally, I’ve had three cats and a dog since I was a kid. I know pets need love and care and when you are not able to, I can be a substitute to watch out for them and keep them feel safe and happy!
“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!”

“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!”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Amy and Lamar to care for our dog, Ralph, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They consistently went above and beyond—giving him extra-long walks and even taking care of his feeding schedule twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out was Lamar’s work on training during his time with Ralph. His calm, confident approach made an immediate impact, and we are amazed at how responsive Ralph is to his guidance. It’s clear that both Amy and Lamar have a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to connect with them. We are incredibly grateful for their reliability, professionalism, and the affection they showed Ralph. We highly recommend Amy and Lamar to anyone looking for dedicated and trustworthy dog walkers, and we absolutely plan to use their services again in the future!”

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.

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.
