About: I have owned, raised and loved all kinds of dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personality types! Dogs have always been apart of my life and bring me so much happiness! I have trained my own dogs to walk on leash. I have also trained them to perform tricks such as shake, sit, lay down and “ready”. I have attended obedience classes with my own dogs and learned how to deal with behavioral problems such as overactive issues, jumping and potential aggression. For dog sitting I will ensure your dog or cat is safe, happy, and well cared for every time I come and visit. I would be so honored to come and walk or pet sit for you.
“Shannon has been amazing with our dog Jeter! She has been extremely responsive with messages and also very patient and loving with our girl as she is a senior pet! If you want a kind and caring person to look after your pets, Shannon is your person!”
“Cathy is an outstanding dog walker! Our rambunctios 2yo lab loved her daily walks, and Cathy even worked with our nervous Border Collie to build up her confidence. Cathy is absolutely reliable, and we highly recommend her!”
“Carl is excellent. He walked my dog for a week while I was out of town. Great communication and always on time. He even came later in the day to avoid an upcoming storm.”
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, so I understand the joy it brings dogs to go on walks and experience all the smells throughout the neighborhood. I also know that dogs are part of the family (my dogs are my children just like my human children), so I take this role very seriously. I work full time, but am available most weekends at some point during the days and evenings. Can also be available some weekday evenings as well. I take great care to follow the family's instructions with feeding, walking, and playing. My own dogs get 3 walks a day plus some play time.
About: I truly enjoy animals! I had an amazing dog for the past 14 years. Sadly, she passed away this past year. I miss her dearly. I’m looking forward to giving love and care to your pets! I do not work in the summer time and thus have time to care for your pet. I’m pretty flexible and available most hours of the day. My dog was a significant part of my life. I would care for your pet as one of my own. I am responsible, passionate, patient, caring and playful towards animals. Looking forward to caring for your special pet.
“Alana waa so amazing and our dogs absolutely loved her. We've never used a service before but are so happy we found Alana!!! She completely took care of our pups from feedings to letting them out. Looking forward to being able to go out again and not worry so much about them!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10. I have had a big and small dog in my life. I have walked, play dates, overnight watched with other people's cats or dogs. I have also fostered 3 dogs in the past who have been adopted into loving homes. I am currently a stay at home mom. We take pups for walks. We love them like they are our own pets. We make sure that the pups have a lot of playtime inside or outside to keep them engaged. I have a fenced yard for all the running and zoomies your pet needs. I have a walk in shower and tub if needed. I also have baby gates if needed.
About: For the past 8 years, I have been providing off-and-on sitting, boarding, and walking care for various relatives' dogs. Through caring for family pets, ranging from energetic Boxers to gentle Cockapoos, I have gained extensive, hands-on experience handling different temperaments, routines, and unique canine behaviors. While household allergies mean I am unable to have a full-time dog of my own, opening up my schedule to part-time pet sitting allows me to bring my passion for dogs into my daily life. This setup works beautifully for my clients, as it means your dog receives 100% of my focused attention and care during their time with me, without competing for space with a resident pet. Because I am currently doing pet care full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and open. I am available throughout the day for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-in visits, seven days a week. This open availability means I can easily accommodate your dog’s specific routine, feeding times, and potty schedule without rush. Whether you need a reliable midday walker while you are at the office, or a flexible sitter for last-minute weekend plans, I am here to provide consistent, dedicated care when you need it most. Safety on Walks & Drop-Ins Safety is my absolute top priority. When walking your dog, I practice active situational awareness—I monitor the environment for triggers like loud traffic, bicycles, or off-leash dogs well before they become an issue. I use a secure, two-handed leash grip and never let your dog off-leash in public spaces. If your dog is sensitive or easily spooked, I am happy to take quieter routes and use positive reinforcement to keep them feeling safe and secure. My Home Environment (For Short-Term Boarding) I live in a clean, smoke-free home with a secure, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely stretch their legs under my direct, 100% supervision. I do not have any resident dogs or cats, meaning your pup will enjoy a peaceful environment without the stress of competing for space. We do share our home with a few securely housed reptiles (a Ball Python, a DeKay's Brown Snake, and two leopard geckos) who live strictly inside their locked enclosures, completely out of reach of guest dogs. Because we manage a saliva allergy in our household, my home is kept exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and structured. We maintain excellent boundaries: guest dogs are kept out of bedrooms and are safely crated during bedtime or if I ever need to step out for a brief moment. Your dog will receive a wonderful balance of structure, safety, and a whole lot of love.
“I cannot thank Rebeckah enough for taking care of my energetic golden for a month. She gave me accurate updates everyday with pictures. I will definitely book her again for upcoming service.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and know how much love and responsibility they need. Back in middle school, I started my own dog walking business and cared for everything from big Bernese Mountain Dogs to little Shih Tzus. I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving them some extra attention. Right now I’m job hunting, so I’m free Monday through Thursday any time of the day. Once I do start working, I’ll still be available most evenings when needed! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them at yours, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I follow their regular routines for feeding, walks, or playtime, and I give them plenty of attention and affection. I keep their space clean and comfortable—whether it’s making sure dogs get bathroom breaks or keeping litter boxes tidy for cats. I also send updates or photos so owners know their pets are doing well. Every pet gets the care they need based on their personality and routine, and I treat them like they’re my own!
“I thought I just left a review but just in case it didn't get processed I'll say it again thank you for for walking Penelope on such short notice she normally is shy at first when meeting new people she took to you as if she's known you for some time that's always a good sign thank you once again.”
About: I know it can be difficult to find a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter/walker to take care of your pet and I would be happy to help you out! My top priority is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved and the owners feel at ease knowing that your pets are getting well taken care of while you are away. I have lived with dogs my entire life. I also grew up fostering dogs and puppies. I currently work at an animal hospital as a certified veterinary technician. I work with dogs and cats on a daily basis so I am very familiar with all types of breeds and personalities. I treat all animals with the same care and love I give my own pet. I would love to take care of your furry friends and I look forward to hearing from you! I work full time but I am typically off on Tuesdays most weeks. Weekends are busy but I may be available some weekends upon request I can walk your pet, play fetch in the backyard, provide them with food, water, medications or anything else that you may need for your pet

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rolling Meadows
Kace did a great job as our dog walker. She communicated well throughout and followed all instructions exactly as given. She handled both of my dogs with no issues, including my larger pitbull, which I really appreciated. She also made sure they were fed, had fresh water, and were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and I felt confident leaving them in her care. I would definitely recommend Kace for future walks.
We had a wonderful experience with Alina. She’s professional, thorough and handled our dog Nitchky’s routine perfectly. We really appreciate the detailed report cards after each visit. She genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend.
Lois was so great with Pepper! She has been reliable, and we have been very happy with how sweet and caring she is with our dog. We were also very impressed with how prepared she came to our meet and greet—she had all of the right questions prepared to ask us. It is very clear that she is a dog lover. We feel great knowing that Pepper has some company to visit her during the day.
Sophia is a fantastic dog caregiver! She was so attentive to our senior dog who be anxious and has her quirks. Sophia was on time with every visit and so communicative. It was reassuring to know how well our dog was being cared for. We would definitely recommend her and plan to hire her again.
Thank you so much for your flexibility & accommodating my last minute request before my trip! I truly felt no worries while you were walking them, and knew each day they would get their exercise and go to the bathroom on their walks which gave me such relief. Wonderful to work with, will absolutely book again in the future with Oriana!! She is the best and I could tell my dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her!
Alana waa so amazing and our dogs absolutely loved her. We've never used a service before but are so happy we found Alana!!! She completely took care of our pups from feedings to letting them out. Looking forward to being able to go out again and not worry so much about them!!!

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 Rolling Meadows. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rolling Meadows. 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.
