“Michelle does a magnificent job caring for Travis as he’s still a young pup getting used to the big new world. Travis and I are very thankful our paths crossed with Michelle.”
About: We love dogs, and have small loving family. I work from home and we are around on weekends, so are perfect for when you need a weekend or week of dog sitting. Our lives have always included dogs, and love spending time with them! We both have experience with puppies and older dogs, and we love going for walks. We have two boys (Archie 6 and Eddie 3) and a lab/vizsla coco (9) and we are all dog lovers! I take coco for two walks a day, which are about 1 mile. I would love to have another dog to take on our walks! We cannot wait to meet your dog and spend quality time with them. I work from home so I will have a lot of time to spend with your dog! I can take the dogs out as much as needed. I work from home and will spend most of the day with the dogs. We have an unfenced yard, but I don't mind taking dogs out on a leash! I can take the dog out as much as needed.
“Collette has been so good with my pups! So glad that I found her. She is very detail oriented and accommodating. Collette keeps me updated on everything. Thank you again Collette.”
“Tamara is so patient with our anxious dog! Our dog warmed up so quickly to Tamara and its a relief knowing our pup will be looking forward to walks while we are away at work. Tamara sends great updates and leaves notes to let us know how our dog is doing while we are at the office. She even came for a meet and greet to make sure our dog felt safe with her before her first walk.”
“I am so happy to be able to rely on the fact that James is extremely punctual. He is here every morning at the designated time. He has been patient with my small dog, who has a preference for women and has had to grow accustomed to a male dog walker. James has given him space and encouragement.”
“Destiny was fabulous. She took a bunch of pics of the little guy, which was such a relief having to be at work. She eased my anxiety by keeping me updated throughout the visit”
“I’m so glad Edgar is taking care of my dog during the day. I love getting my message and pictures, and I know he’s getting exercise, a potty break and some attention. I highly recommend Edgar to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Natalie! I booked her last minute when the regular walker couldn’t make it, like less than an hour and a half. Not only did she reply right away, but she basically headed straight there. She was incredibly patient with Caesar who can sometimes be reluctant to go on his walks with new people. I booked her for an hour walk, but she went over that time to allow him to get comfortable with her before walking him. She communicated throughout the whole session and made me feel less anxious. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Natalie. I will definitely book her again and you should too.”
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
About: I’ve helped care for my own dog for ~6 years. I also often help look after my neighbors’ and friends’ pets. A couple years ago I worked at a vet clinic and was around dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes. I am home for the summer from college (until mid/late August) and I have lots of availability each day of the week. I am incredibly willing to work around your schedule! I have a large fenced back yard and an older, very friendly 60 pound Australian shepherd who loves to meet and play with other dogs!
About: I bring over 25 years of dedicated experience caring for both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of pet behavior and needs. What truly sets me apart is my extensive experience with specialized medical care. My beloved Shih Tzu, who recently passed away after a long and happy life, required attentive care for severe allergies, dry eyes, and diabetes. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and highly experienced in administering eye drops, oral medications, and routine insulin injections. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave a pet with special medical needs, and I am proud to offer the precise, gentle, and reliable care your furry family member deserves. I work from home and only go into the office once or twice a week for brief 4-hour stretches (typically 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM). The rest of my time is spent working locally so I can care for my wonderful 7.5-year-old special needs son, handling his school drop-offs and summer camp schedules. This highly flexible routine gives me the perfect opportunity to step away from my desk, stretch my legs, and provide your pups with dedicated neighborhood walks or attentive drop-in visits. Sadly, my beloved dog Rocky passed away in January 2026. This summer, I realized just how much I truly miss our daily walks and the companionship of a dog. While I am not quite ready to bring a new full-time pet into our home, I would love to channel that missing affection into helping busy neighbors by giving your pets all the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your pets are treated like true members of the family in my care. Because my beloved Rocky passed away in January 2026, my home is currently pet-free, meaning your furry family member will get my absolute, undivided attention during drop-ins or walks, with zero risk of conflict with resident animals. Backed by over 25 years of pet care experience, I approach safety with a proactive mindset—strictly adhering to your leashing preferences, double-checking that doors and gates are securely locked, and ensuring your home remains secure. I tailor my visits entirely to your pet's unique personality and energy level. Whether they need a high-energy walk to a local field where they can safely run or simply prefer quiet, comforting companionship on the couch, I treat your home and your pets with the highest level of respect and devotion. To give you ultimate peace of mind while you are away, I will always send you detailed text updates and plenty of photos during every single visit so you can see exactly how much fun we are having!
About: I have had a dog since 2010, unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I love every dog I meet and thoroughly enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. Dogs make me incredibly happy, and I like to think I make them happy as well! I am available any day of the week for your dogs needs. I have the summer off from work, so I am able to look after them 24/7 if needed. I can easily crate any dog if needed. I love hanging out and playing with dogs and making sure they’re in a safe environment. There’s a lot of walking trails near where I live which are amazing for walks. There’s also a dog park right in my community.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Oak Brook is $20

Macey has done such an outstanding job walking our Sophie this summer. From the first meet & greet, she read Sophie like a book: anticipating when she might bark at another dog, chase a squirrel, or simply watch a rabbit eating grass. And Sophie is a Great Dane mix so she weighs 90 pounds! Macey communicates fully and regularly and has almost always been able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I will simply say that Macey is simply the best and we've already arranged future times we'll need her help. We cannot thank her enough!
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Elizabeth is truly exceptional. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves what she does—her connection with the dogs is natural and comforting. Elizabeth goes above and beyond on every walk. Whether it’s making sure routines are followed, giving extra attention when needed, or keeping you updated with thoughtful messages and photos, she brings a level of care that’s hard to find. It gives total peace of mind knowing your dog is not just being walked, but truly cared for. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and consistently exceeds expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—any dog would be lucky to have Elizabeth in their life!
Veronika came to the rescue on very short notice. She handled my very timid chihuahua mix without any difficulty. She arrived right on time, sent photos of each walk with my dog and demonstrated an understanding of my dog's needs with much warmth. I found her to be a trustworthy and capable. I would hire her again without hesitation.
Ana has always done an amazing job caring for my fur baby, Dakota. I’ve worked with her locally many times and was so excited to see her join Rover to continue growing her dog‑sitting career. Ana truly cares about the animals she works with and always takes the time to listen and understand what each pet needs. Dakota is not an easy dog to care for, between her cancer‑related medical needs and her reactive fear of other dogs and children, she can be complicated to leave in someone else’s care. Ana has always risen to these challenges and made us feel completely at ease trusting Dakota with her. This year, we went on a two‑week vacation to Italy, and Ana stayed in our home to care for Dakota the entire time. Not a single walk or medication was missed, and Dakota was loved and cared for as if she were Ana's own pet. I will always trust Ana with Dakota’s care and would confidently trust her with any pets we have in the future. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oak Brook on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,000 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oak Brook. 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 Oak Brook. 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 Oak Brook.

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 Oak Brook. 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.
