“Gyula walks my two Labs regularly, and I highly recommend him for your dog's needs. He has years of experience working with all types of dogs and has the skills to manage them competently and with a great attitude. Gyula is prompt, attentive to the dogs at all times, and naturally works with them as he's walking them, which has improved both of my dogs leash manners. If you need someone to take care of your dog, I'm confident you and your dog will be happy with the services Gyula provides.”

About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)

About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.

“Terrific gentleman very good with my dog. He let me know my dogs poop wasn’t looking right, which I greatly appreciated. My dog was very happy when he came back and is napping quite well. I would definitely hire him again to come back and walk my dog. Thank you so much for the wonderful job.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had Dalmatians, which probably began my love for large dogs. I currently have two rescue, pitty-mixes. I love the playful energy and am understanding that different dogs have different needs. My dog, Bear, is always getting into something, so I've become pretty good with first-aid! I am a very organized person and have dealt with medications given at particular times. I'd rather be overly cautious than not cautious enough! I have a senior cat that I rescued in 2010. She runs the house and that's ok by me! I love snuggling with dogs and cats alike and giving them all the attention. My education background is a Masters in Secondary Education, with a concentration in Biology, and a bachelor's degree in psychology. I'm totally OK with spending the night with your pets if needed. My husband can watch our crazy boys and cat :) I used to teach middle school science when I lived in Maryland but now I'm a stay-at-home mom in Illinois! Just let me know when you are needed and I'll make it work! I am a very organized, clean and tidy person. I totally understand how much we love our fur babies and will treat them like I'd treat my own. Again, I'd rather be overly cautious than not enough! Our babies can't voice for themselves so it is important to always advocate for them and do what is in their best interest!

About: Hello, my name is Ayla. I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life. Whether that be my own, my families, or my neighbors. I started working in the pet industry when I was 17. I have worked at stores like Petco and Petsmart. I have also worked in a shelter taking care of the dogs. I take a great interest in POSITIVE dog training and clicker training. I believe our loved ones deserve the best we can offer. My pets are my family and I will always treat other animals the way I treat my own. With love, compassion and patience. I have never been a groomer but I love giving pets a good brushing to keep their coat clean and tangle free. Currently my family consists of two older large dogs and a puppy. I currently am a stay at home dog mom so I can easily adjust plans and care for your pets. I would love for you to consider hiring me. Available every day and any time, I typically have appointments in the afternoon. I take care of my 3 animals while my husband works and study herbalism in my free time. Whenever I take care of another pet I treat them as my own. With tons of pets and love! I will respect your home and leave it as I found it or better. I like to give dogs walk and play with them while I am visiting.

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover and currently have a Golden Retriever/Irish Setter who keeps me active with plenty of walks, playtime, and adventures. Caring for my own high energy dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each dog the attention they deserve. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, fetch, or simply having a companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide the same level of care and affection I'd want for my own pet :) I currently work part-time on some weekends in Huntley, IL (Friday–Sunday), but I’m generally very flexible and available during the week! I just ask for a few days’ notice whenever possible so I can make sure I’m able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. 😊 I’d also love to set up a meet & greet with you and your fur baby before our first visit! It’s a great opportunity for us to get acquainted, learn about your pet’s personality and routine, and make sure they feel comfortable with me. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I do have a spacious corner lot with a secure tie-out area for supervised outdoor time, the majority of my services take place in your home where your pet is most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll follow all care instructions closely, ensure your pet has fresh water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

I've never had a problem with any one of them except for that one dog that keep barking and running after me when I was 10 lol, but turned out the little guy just wanted to be friends. I am planning on doing this full time, so I'll have all the time in the world to play with your pets and to make them my besties.

About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that goes along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.

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 Solon Mills. 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 dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , 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 Solon Mills 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 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 , 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 .

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
