“Carrianne was able to help us with a last minute walk for our dog. She took the time to stop by the day before to meet him. We appreciated the help and would book her again if the chance comes up!”
“I needed a walker yesterday because I couldn’t be physically away from my home, so I was there when Andrew arrived. He texted when he was on his way, arrived promptly, and spent a couple of extra minutes greeting Rosie, on her level, letting her check him out and get comfortable with him - I was pleased. When they were out walking, a friend happened to see them and called me to tell me that she was impressed with how patient and gentle he was with her. He obviously made a positive impression on Rosie because she was very excited when he returned in the afternoon for her 2nd walk. I will definitely use Andrew for my future needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life and finally got my own pup in 2023. I love all breeds, sizes and ages and cater my care specific to every dog’s needs. I am very patient and keep up with guidelines and research to ensure I’m doing my best as a dog mom and carer of animals in a daily basis. Full time pet sitter, meaning I’m home all day with flexibility every day. I love getting my steps in, so I am more than happy to take your pup on long walks! While boarding or daycare with me, your dog will join me and Killian on our walks, get treats, lick mats (with your consent of course) and cuddles. I am a trustworthy person who treats every being and environment like her own. I understand animal’s body language and barks/growls and will ensure their safety and comfort. Im an introvert, so I stay home most days and when I do step out, it’s only for a few hours and I do have a pet camera to keep an eye on the doggos. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and am able to handle big dogs on walks as my boy is 80lbs. I prioritize their safety, comfort and enrichment. I live near Roverwest, so just lmk if you’re comfortable with me taking your dog over!
About: I love animals, and I have been around and taken care of them since childhood, particularly dogs and cats. After moving to Chicago in 2017, I started walking and occasionally dog sitting for my friends’ companions. However, since living in the Shorewood area, I have worked with a variety of different dog (and cat) breeds and ages, including assisting with puppy training and senior care/mobility. I understand that each animal companion is unique with their own personality and temperament and that should be a major factor in providing appropriate care for them. Therefore, I strive to incorporate this mindset into each care opportunity I receive. I am currently seeking full-time employment so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your companions during the week! I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday. Your companions’ safety and health is of the utmost importance. With dog walking, I will inquire about any preferred walking places/parks, discuss beforehand any recommended locations, and follow the agreed-upon routes. In addition, I will ensure your companion is hydrated, monitor their environment for safety concerns, and properly dispose of waste products. Regarding drop-in visits, I recognize the level of trust it takes to allow a new person into one’s home. Thus, prior to the first visit, I will always ask about comfort level in terms of gaining entry into the home and areas to access or avoid. In addition, I aim to familiarize myself with your companion’s routine, such as learning their feeding times (and making sure their water bowls are always full), preferred playtime activities and toys, and any special needs. I value good communication and frequently provide updates on their well-being and promptly address any concerns/behavioral observations. If a dog is anxious upon first meeting me, I ensure they have time to get to know me instead of jumping right into an activity, which includes being patient and slowly offering my hand for sniffing, speaking in a calm tone of voice, and not forcibly entering their space before they are ready.
“Mika is great! They are incredibly caring and good with my dog. They have helped tremendously with his loose leash walking while making sure he gets lots of energy out. My dog loves them!”
About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day on the weekends. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.
“Jessica took the best care of Max! Her communication was impeccable and you could see the quality in her care she provided for our dog. We could tell Max looked forward to his walks with her. We would highly recommend her care with anyone’s pet!”
“Ana takes Bella, my 1yo Golden Retriever, on 2 walks a week so Bella can stretch her legs when I’m on too many work conference calls. Ana is prompt, Bella loves her and Ana gives me a detailed report and pictures through the app each time. I highly recommend Ana and am so glad to have her walking Bella.”
About: I didn’t grow up with dogs at home, but I’ve always loved animals and had all kinds of pets growing up—cats, rabbits, even fish. I got my own dog about two years ago, and it’s been the best experience ever. Since then, I’ve totally fallen down the rabbit hole of all things pet care. I’m always researching stuff—like how to keep dogs mentally stimulated, what foods are best, or how to help senior pets feel comfy. I really enjoy learning how to give animals the best life possible. I may not have years of professional experience, but I care a lot, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that means playtime, chill time, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. *I am from Kenosha but studying in Milwaukee, will be back in Kenosha some weekends, and during break. I’m an incoming college student working part-time, so I have some flexible time to care for pets. I enjoy taking them on walks to help them stay active and happy. I have a fenced backyard that’s great for small dogs to play safely. I have a super friendly 2.5-year-old Maltese who’s up to date on his vaccines and loves making new friends. I also have a crate for pets who need a cozy, quiet spot. Whether your pet is at my place or yours, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
“Jodi is so great! She is very flexible with my last minute booking and has been great with our dog! She presents with great communication as well! Would recommend!”
“Melissa is wonderful with my pup! She understands cues from my pup, and gives her the time she needs to reacquaint before the walk. Melissa responds in a timely manner to my texts. Wish I could keep her, but I am out of her desired range for clients; she is doing me a favor until I can find someone else to walk my dog on a regular basis.”
“Travis is phenomenal! Very respectful of my home and pets needs! Communicated quickly and was flexible to my pets needs and any changes that came up, especially with our puppy. He takes amazing photos too, I loved every single one he sent as an update! Super trustworthy!”
“If you’re looking for a dog walker I highly recommend Melissa. She was prompt, professional, and took excellent care of my small dog. She asked relevant questions about my dog before leaving for the walk, and afterwards gave me a thorough update of the walk. I feel comfortable with her in charge of my beloved sweet furry friend!!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Emily on Rover. Finding someone that I could trust and rely on was really important and that is what I have found. She walks my dog, Tito, multiple times every week. It makes my day when I get the notification that she has completed a walk with Tito because I can see how happy he is in the pictures that she takes. I have nothing but good things to say about Emily and am so grateful for the quality time that she has spent with my best friend. Thank you Emily! Highly recommend using her services on Rover.”
About: I have been the primary walker/caretaker for my childhood dog’s entire 12-year life. Her name is Stella and she is a sassy rat terrier, so I have plenty of experience with energetic breeds. I have also occasionally cared for the pets of neighbors and family, including my uncle’s 4 Tibetan mastiffs. I have a very flexible schedule as I am currently studying from home for the Bar. I am a recent college grad with a wide open schedule. I plan on moving to Milwaukee in June, so until then I am seeking gig work while I live with my parents in Lake county I will cherish your pets and shower them with affection when they are under my care. Unfortunately, I cannot host pets in my home as I live with my parents.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
Maggie is great; she's been walking Bella, a Pittie who is often in the seek-and-destroy zone. She is hyper-focused on everything around her, but never on her handler. Bella Francis is my daughter's dog, who has been staying with me for the past three weeks. We hired Maggie to get Bella out on 4 30-minute walks per week, and she was a lifesaver. Thanks for everything, Maggie. If you need a walker who can handle anything and everything with a smile, I would highly recommend Maggie. She is 10 stars!

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 Shorewood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
