About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I grew up with cats, including one who lived to 22, and my two cats are now my family. 🐱 I’ve also spent years caring for and walking my in-laws’ Shiba Inu and Pomeranian, so I have a big soft spot for dogs too! 🐶 I’m very patient, loving, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy playing with pets, feeding them, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of affection. I’m newer to professional pet sitting, but I’m excited to build my experience and will also be volunteering at an animal shelter. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. ❤️🐾 My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days and can easily accommodate different pet care needs and routines. I’m able to offer drop-in visits throughout the day and can be flexible with timing to make things easier for both you and your pet. I’m very patient, gentle, and loving with animals, and I always want them to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any other basic care your pet needs. I’ll also make sure their space is clean and secure before I leave, and I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would give my own.

About: I've lived with dogs ever since I was born. I currently share responsibility of caring for the family dog (who is shown on my profile). I have experience with their care, such as daily walks, feeds, play time, giving necessary medications, and whatever else they need. I also have done cat sitting over the past few years through Rover and outside of Rover, as well as petsitting for birds, rabbits, turtles, and lizards. I even now have a turtle of my own! I currently have little to no limitations that would get in the way of me from doing my duties in caring for your wonderful pet(s). I am typically always home so I would be able to keep your fur baby company and give them whatever attention they would need. I have a backyard fence and a single small dog who can be a bit skittish, but ultimately sleeps most of the day.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and currently have 5 dogs and one cat! I have plenty of experience with pets. I can take care of specific needs and wants as well as be playful and entertaining for them. Looking forward to see how adorable these pets are throughout my journey. I have a flexible schedule for the summer. I’m available week days and weekends through Aug. 23. After August I will be available early evenings and weekends. I take my dogs on multiple walks and give them plenty of love and affection through out the day. When they feel energetic I take them to the dog park and when they are tired I let them rest with me or somewhere comfortable If the dogs need specific needs like, meds, grooming, or routine I can gladly do that for them.

About: Ever since I was introduced toy grandparents dog at a young age, I have been fascinated and comforted by the furry friends we call our pets. Over the years I have pet-sat for friends, family, and neighbors as well. I always take care to follow their specific needs and make sure that as long as I'm there, they receive the amount of care and love necessary to maintain their happy little lifestyle. I am very comfortable going on long walks if necessary to keep your pet fit and healthy, proper meal times are a must, and, of course, pets and belly rubs are free of charge. I am currently waiting on a job to begin by the end of the year, meaning that nothing stands in the way of me taking the utmost care in making sure that your pet is loved and cherished as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard where your pet can play, completely supervised of course. Additionally I will ensure that while your pet is in my care, I will keep a constant watch over them to ensure their safety.

About: Having grown up on a farm with 38 horses, minimum of 5 dogs at a time and too many cats to count, caring for and loving animals of all sizes has been a major part of my life. I’ve trained both dogs and horses and cared for all kinds of critters. When friends or family need a trusted person to care for or train their pet, I am the first person they call. My main job schedule can vary, but I am available most days of the week. Because I work in mental health and create my own schedule, I will like have random times available to drop in and take care of your pets. Outside of having to care for my own Rottweiler, Maya, I can care for your pet in between. I am able to take your dog on a walk, reinforce training, feed them, administer medication and play with them. If you have any other pets, just let me know how I can help and what they may want/need! Whatever your pet needs, I am happy to provide! Of course it is animal specific, but if I am caring for a pup, we can go on walks, play in a yard or inside, cuddle or just hangout peacefully. With any other pets, just let me know how I can show up for them and what else they prefer/need.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently have a schedule consisting of classes and basketball. I have a bit going on, but whatever free time I have, I am available! I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of various sizes and age groups since 2012. Teachers, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and comfort their pets. My new schedule means I have plenty of time for active dog walks and quiet, cozy cat cuddles throughout the day. I work as a part-time intern and have flexible weekdays open, so I can offer consistent, reliable availability for walks and drop-in visits. I love building a routine with pets I care for and treat every visit like it matters I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I follow owners' instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and always leave a clear update after each visit.

About: Hi! I’m Michael, an animal lover based in Oak Park. I’ve had dogs in my life for years and genuinely love spending time with them, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving them plenty of attention, or just keeping them company while their person is away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, so I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, from dogs who want to be out exploring to dogs who would rather curl up and relax. I don’t currently have any dogs living with me, so if your pet is staying with me, they won’t have to adjust to resident dogs and can get plenty of one-on-one attention. Peanut-free home due to a severe allergy—please do not bring peanut-containing treats or food. I’m a lifelong dog lover based in oak park. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Message me for availability. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always walk pups on secure, well-fitted harnesses or leashes and avoid high-traffic or overly crowded areas when possible. I’m attentive to each dog’s pace, behavior, and boundaries—especially with seniors or those with special needs. You can trust that I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, with consistent routines, clear communication, and plenty of care. I’m happy to provide updates and photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands.

Another great booking with Rosario! We booked her for drop in visits for our dog while we were out of state for a wedding. She always sends lots of photos and videos of our boy having a great time - putting us at ease that he’s in good hands. Our return flight got cancelled multiple times and Rosario was so helpful and flexible with extending her visits so our boy wasn’t left alone until we finally got home two days later.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oak Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Oak Park on Rover is $21.09 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 12,803 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oak Park. 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 Park. 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 Park.

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 Oak Park. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
