“Don’t book her because I want her to walk my dog every time !!! Haha no but she is great ? very pleased attentive responsible and caring. Ella is a lifesaver and is my go to. Thank you Ella! Hope to continue in the future :)”
About: I grew up on a farm and we had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, pigs, goats and cows. I’ve been around animals all my life and my ultimate goal is to get back to farm life and have an animal sanctuary I work a full time job, and would be available on weekends for drop in visits and dog walks. I know weekends are when people want to go to dinner or a concert and they don’t want to rush home to take their dog out for a walk. I have years of experience with both cats and dogs. I’m 60 years old and a trusted member of the Northbrook community for the last 26 years.
“Aleksandra was amazing! She stepped in at the last minute this week as a substitute walker and my dog warmed up to her so quickly. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future!!”
“Donna and Stephen have truly been lifesavers over the past few weeks. They are incredibly timely and dependable, and they are always willing to help when they can. I also LOVE receiving multiple photos of my pup enjoying the walk so I know how happy he is to be out with them. Would strongly recommend this wonderful team to walk your furry friend!”
“Jiayi is very attentive and takes very good care of Nigel on his daily walk. She is also very communicative and accommodating to any request we have regarding Nigel’s care.”
“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.”
About: I love dogs. I am the go to person to take care of my friends and family's dogs when they are out of town. Plus my own dog is super friendly and always game for meeting another dog I work from home full time with a flexible schedule. I am able to do my work and still have time to take care of my own dog and family at home I have 2 year old lab mix to keep your furry friend(s) company. I have a 5 bedroom house, including a full finished basement, and a gated yard so there's plenty of room for the dogs to hang out
“Tamara's great! While she was on vacation, Mosie had another dog walker whom he also liked but he and I are both excited to have Tamara back! She adjusts her schedule to meet Mosie's needs and truly cares about him; the dogs she walks are not just job and the dogs can tell that she cares.”
“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”
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.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and lizards. I have worked at an animal sanctuary, I have worked with disabled animals, and will give your pet the attention and love they deserve. I just graduated from the university of Vermont with a bachelor's degree in philosophy, I am taking a few months off of my regular 9 - 5 to take time for myself so I have a very open schedule. There is no time too early or too late for me to come help, just let me know what works best for you and your animal. I will feed, play with, walk, and spend time with your animal to make sure that they feel loved and cared for. I have no problem staying the night if your animal gets anxious without people around or making multiple visits within a single day.
“Shiva enjoyed a great walk with Lydia! Lydia is clearly an animal lover with great energy, and I appreciated how how she took the time to get to know Shiva and her needs as an older pup. I will definitely book again in the future!”
About: Hiya! Welcome to my page! Thank you for visiting! A little bit about me: - My name is Michelle - My favourite color is green - I am a cat aunty to Lola and Pascal - I’ve walked and dog sat all types of dogs- big and small, young and old, kind and cranky, fuzzy and bald. If you think any of these match your dog, give me a call (especially if their fav color is also green)! I am available on a flexible basis, and I take pride in making sure all animals I sit have a full tummy, are comfy, and exercised! I am very cognizant of the unique needs of each pet, whether it’s allergies to extra snuggles! I look forward to meeting you and your pup and going for a walk!

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 Northfield on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,672 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Northfield. 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 Northfield. 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 Northfield.

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 Northfield. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
