About: Iâve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 8, my family runs an animal rescue shelter where I have done volunteer work for free and have been helping with all kinds of activities such as dog walking, cleaning, promotion, etc. We have a large park area right outside our house where we always walk our dog, other dogs being walked may be around and the dogs love the huge open park area. Plenty of areas to walk and everyone is very friendly! I have a very safe environment and neighborhood for your pup, everyone in the house is an animal lover with experience and love in caring for fur babies, we have all kinds of dog toys and can set up crates if needed!
âI 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.â

About: Hi! Iâve had a dog in my life since I was 5, and over the last 17 years, Iâve cared for all kinds of pets for friends, family, and neighbors.

About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately Iâm allergic to them. Weâve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
âGabriela was great with my dog! She was also super helpful when we had a last minute cancellation and she swooped into the rescue and really helped us out! I would recommend her to anybody!â

About: Iâve had four dogs in my entire life: a yellow lab, a husky, a german shepherd, and a pitbull! I loved them all so much. My current dog is my 11 year old pitbull, and I love him to pieces. Weâve gotten all our dogs from a young age and because of this Iâve learned how to train puppies. All breeds are different and they all have different personalities, but training mostly stays the same, consistency is key when it comes to training. When I had my german shepherd puppy, I went to a professional trainer and he basically taught me how to train my dog. I loved training my gsd, he was an excellent listener and was highly intelligent! Aside from training, i like to go on walks myself, so i enjoy walking my dog. I love to play with them and keep them busy. Iâm an observer too, so if anything is wrong with my dog, Iâm usually the first one to notice. Iâm patient with dogs, and I always make sure theyâre doing okay (and not eating something theyâre not supposed to). Dogs are precious animals and I consider them a member of your family, I will respect them as such. I currently work 4 days out of the week, so Iâll be available any time during my off days! That will be Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Sometimes Iâm available Saturdayâs after 4pm, just ask! Your dog(s) and I can play outside if you have a fenced yard, otherwise I can stay inside and keep them company for a little after our walk. Iâll mostly do what you ask of me. Iâll keep them leashed during our walks, and probably away from other dogs during our walk to avoid any type of negative interactions.

Corai is always excited to see Rena! And she comes home from her walks even happier. I enjoy the photos provided by Rena, especially the ones where Corai & her shadow is captured. Most importantly, I have peace of mind. Rena is very attuned to my Dogâs mood & needs, very attentive. Looking forward to booking Rena again!

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. Sheâs professional, thorough and handled our dog Nitchkyâs routine perfectly. We really appreciate the detailed report cards after each visit. She genuinely cares about the pets sheâs 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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Schaumburg is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs.

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 Schaumburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dogâs walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Schaumburg after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
