About: My parents close friends/family members and even some of my best friends have trusted me to watch overnight their pets such as dogs and cats,etc and along with boarding them at our house as the owners were out of town. I have lots of personal experience with my own pets, along with experience with dog watching and walking dogs outside my family dog. I grew up living with dogs and have always had a passion for animals and would love to be able to take care of peoples furry friends. I have a part time job currently so weekdays would be best since some shifts I get off in the afternoon so most evenings I’m free so if I know in advanced when people need me that would be great to work around my schedule. Some mornings I am also free. We have a big back yard but it does not have a fully fenced in yard due to our garage but it is safe and we have a leash to attach dogs too so they can be safe while also roaming in the yard. We also have a dog bed too. Not many toys because our dog is getting older but we can provide treats if needed and make sure they have everything they need. They will also have a furry companion which is our dog Bella. Whenever I watch a dog at someone else’s home I make sure to check and see what instructions they leave for me, make sure they are fed and let outside, and also make sure they are played with.
“Annie has been amazing so far! She is very diligent with logging how the walk went and what activities occurred. We will continue to use her for recurring weekly walks and recommend her to everyone!”
“Deepthi was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby. She sent me frequent updates and pictures. My dog warmed to her very quickly. I would use Deepthi again as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She was truly great.”
“My wife and I met Lauriel only briefly to introduce our dogs and cover their specifics and immediately knew she would be a great fit.. We are very happy to have met Lauriel and are excited to have her continue to help take care of our boys... Thank you for all the you do! - highly recommended based on: patience, warmness, reliability”
“Sana has been fantastic taking care of my dog Rocky. He was sick the first day she started working for us and she communicated quickly, alerting me to what was going on, and followed up on his wellbeing. Fortunately, he's recovered, and Sana continues to care for him. I really appreciate her loving care for my fur baby.”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jackie to take care of my furry friend for a week, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the first day, Jackie demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a genuine love for dogs. Jackie was excellent at communicating with us throughout the week. She provided daily updates, including photos, which reassured me that my dog was happy. Every day, Jackie arrived on time for each scheduled walk! This reliability was crucial for me, as I have a busy schedule and needed someone I could rely on. I also had an unexpected change in my schedule during the week, and Jackie was very accommodating. She adjusted the walking times without any fuss, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone in need of a caring dog walker. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Rena helped me out last minute when I needed a walker after a family emergency. She was quickly responsive and able to pick up the shift and I couldn’t have been more grateful!”

About: Hello! I’m Ashley, I’m a Licensed Veterinary Nurse in emergency medicine with over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I care for both dogs and cats. If you have exotics, I can care for them as well. I have experience working with animals of all ages, with a strong passion for senior care and supporting animals with special needs. Overnight Stays: Unless requested to stay full time in your home for house sitting, I do go home during the day to check on my animals, run errands, etc. My overnight hours are 5/6pm-8/9am unless otherwise discussed :) I work 3 nights a week at the ER, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you are comfortable with your kiddos being home at night to sleep during times I work, that is an option. For smaller pets I can always make it so they can hangout with me at work. I offer pet sitting over nights, drop ins, and walks. I cannot currently board at my home since I have my own pets, but will do whatever I can to make sure your family pets are safe and happy while in my care!

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.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have had my family dog for 9 years now. I do a lot of the caring for my dog. I played an integral part in my dog’s recovery from knee surgery. I have also dog sat many times for dogs of all ages from 1-2 year old dogs to elderly dogs. I was also a dog sitter for my college canine companion club for 2 years. This taught me a lot about dog training, etiquette, and respect. While taking care of these dogs, I walked them, gave them food and water, played with the dogs, gave the dogs their medications, worked on owner specified training, and made sure that the dogs were comfortable and happy. I have always loved dogs, listened to their body language, and respected them. I am available to sit for single dog households and multiple pet or dog and cat households. I look forward to meeting your furry family members!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Schaumburg
Sana has been fantastic taking care of my dog Rocky. He was sick the first day she started working for us and she communicated quickly, alerting me to what was going on, and followed up on his wellbeing. Fortunately, he's recovered, and Sana continues to care for him. I really appreciate her loving care for my fur baby.
Jackie is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about using/trusting rover since it was my first time using any kind of dog walking app. We did a meet and greet and she was fantastic with my two elderly boys. She was extremely gentle and let them take their time to feel her out. She sent pics and a really detailed note when taking them for their walk, which made my day! She really eased my anxiety. Overall, a great person. So happy I found her!!
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.
Arsh was great with Zaza! I could tell as soon as he walked in that he was kind and caring. Zaza took to him immediately. Because I live in a neighborhood with no sidewalks, so that dogs have to be walked on the street, I had a fairly long list of "rules" to follow in order to keep Zaza safe from vehicles (and actually having to think through these motivated me to up my own game). Also because of having to walk in the street, I asked him to wear several forms of LED lighting after dark. He immediately understood and each time he walked her, he made sure that all of these precautions were followed. He was on time for every walk and always very congenial. I absolutely would recommend Arsh as a dog walker.

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 .

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 Schaumburg. 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.

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 Schaumburg. 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.
