“Paul did a great job taking care of our girl Grace. He took care of her exercise, meals and company needs, and communicated with us clearly during the trip! She has a new buddy! Highly reccommend!”
“We couldn’t recommend Katrina more! Not only did our dog love her, she was great at communication and always let us know if there was anything she noticed or was concerned about while she walked and checked in on Nutmeg. It was a relief to know that she was in good hands while we were at work.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Skokie
First time using Rover and I have full confidence in Claire C. I have a senior dog with health issues so I’m always concerned but Claire allows me to relax and focus on my job. Her communication is perfect and ability to adjust to dogs needs are fantastic. I appreciate her. Highly recommend.
Trisha was a huge help during a week where we needed a temporary dog walker. She came every day, had great communication, and no issues sorting out logistics with our two dogs. She immediately connected with them and seemed to very much understand their personalities. All of her daily updates made me laugh and it was wonderful knowing they were in good hands. I would not hesitate to ask her help again in the future!
Alondra is truly amazing. This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone other than my parents, so I was naturally a bit anxious. Alondra came to our home to meet us and spend time with Olaf, and he took to her right away—which immediately put me at ease. On the first day, our tenants let us know that Olaf seemed distressed, yawning excessively and howling. He’s just not used to being alone. I quickly arranged for a friend who lives nearby to pick him up, and reached out to Alondra to see if she could adjust the pick up/ drop-off location. Without hesitation, she agreed. That level of flexibility and care really showed her commitment to making sure Olaf was safe and comfortable. Thank you so much, Alondra!

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 Skokie. 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 Skokie.

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 Skokie. 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.
