“Tracy is really such a delight . She is dependable trustworthy and accommodating and will love on your pup ! I have used her weekly for a couple years and have nothing but good things to say .”
“We love Laura to pieces! From the start, Laura knew exactly how to approach and interact with my two fur babies. She is quick to communicate with me and always leaves a detailed note with lots of cute pictures! Murphy and Mochi love to see her every week!”
“We interviewed a few walkers on Rover, and Taylor was the one who stood out above the rest. She was much more clear and descriptive about her approach, her style of managing dogs, and her specific techniques. She is very organized, highly responsive, and I highly recommend her for your pets!”
About: I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even exotics like corn snakes and lizards! I pride myself on being patient, gentle, and attentive to every pet's unique personality. Your furry (or scaly!) family members will enjoy a warm, home-like environment with plenty of love. I have a very reliable home and a safe vehicle for any needs. Plus, I love capturing the moment—expect plenty of daily photo updates so you can see your baby happy and thriving while you're away! My schedule is flexible. I’m available for pet visits, feeding, playtime, and dog walks after 10:00 a.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. I can serve areas including Buffalo Grove, Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, and nearby suburbs. Safety comes first. I double-check doors, leashes, and harnesses, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and keep homes tidy. You’ll receive timely updates with photos/videos after each visit. I treat every pet like my own.
“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.”

About: A proud fur mama since birth, I have never been without animals (not just mammals), and even prefer their company at times over people. I'm a full time manager at a pet store/groomers, and have seen every shape, size, and age walk through our doors. I have experience with grooming pets as well as training them and believe every dog is different and therefore have different needs. But I find we need animals more than they need us at times, and they can even make us better people. They're not just our property, these are members of our family. I am happy to watch your babies and your homes. A neat freak occasionally, and a college grad in fitness and wellness, walks and play time will go until they need to. Besides my own babies, my neighbors always know they can ask for help when needed. I walk my dog daily and schedule playdates regularly. If I can't walk my dog, due to my weekend doubles, I too schedule walks and playdates for my babies. But I too am very specific about who can care for my children. Fur babies need a few, very important, treatments; lots of play, plenty of walks, and consistency in their schedule. Nothing's better than a pet knowing everything will be ok. Always.

“Heather did a great job walking my dog Daniella. in the rain my dog doesn’t like to go for a walk so Heather took extra time to help get her in the mood for a walk. She did s great job!”

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

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Barrington. 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.
