About: Send me a message to walk and care for your dog. I have a Blue Heeler so I know about energetic dogs!!! I can take your dog in a walk or even help with potty breaks. I can do a regular weekly schedule or just as needed - let me know! I typically need at least 24 hours notice to schedule your service. Care in your home is preferred just let me know a little about your dog to tailor my visit to their need. Walks, fetch, treats…
“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
About: I am a doctoral candidate in Biology at UofL, so you know I'm good at organization and scheduling! I think my time as a graduate student has sharpened my reasoning and communication skills as well. It's also increased my animal handling experience (mice)! I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats and dogs. My most recent pet is an elderly shi tzu with a surprising amount of energy! Apollo is a very skiddish cat, but we've definitely earned each others' trust. I can drop by to check on your pet, take them out for a walk (if weekday, must be before 10am or after 5pm, can be flexible), check on them periodically to feed them, or house sit (weekends only). I am a grad student, so I'm usually busy during weekdays 10am-5pm. Most of my work now is away from the bench, so I can be a little flexible about those hours Weekends are generally open! I love in an apartment that doesn't allow animals so I can't keep any here. I can however watch your furry friend at your house or take them on walks around the neighborhood!
“Winnie looked like she was loving her walk! Oliver responded really quickly to requests, was quite communicative and I loved the photos! (I hav a hard time getting good ones of her.) Thanks, Oliver!”
“awhh!!! she eased me nerves so good! she spent the extra time with my baby letting her play and get to know her!! my dog has a ton of anxiety and they are besties now!! so pleased with this experience!”
“Ashlea was great with my introverted senior dog. It was a same day request, but she was very accommodating. My dog came home happy after her walk with Ashlea. So glad to have found her!”
About: Hello! I’m a tenured physics Professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently care for three cats of my own and have many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I am patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I’ve had a cat or dog as a pet for almost all of my life. I had two cats for their entire lifetime, and currently have 2 chihuahua mixes. One is a special needs Senior, and the other is 5 years old. I’m an educator, that is currently on summer break. I have plenty of time to walk your dogs or drop in to care for your pets. I do a lot of walking with my own two dogs, so I would love to give yours a great workout. I can also do drop ins to feed, give meds, or play with your pet.
About: I have pet sitting experience for more than 10+ years. I have fostered as well as owned a dog myself and implemented a training routine for them to follow commands as well as socialize with other dogs and people. I’m a huge animal lover and will take care of your pet like my own. I’m very active and able to handle any dog breed (Great Dane, pitbulls, etc.). I love being outside and I live close to a park so your dog will get plenty of exercise as well as lots of love! In my spare time you’ll find me on a volleyball court, at the gym, or at my church 😊
About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.
“Justin was fantastic! He came to walk my Great Pyrenees, Boo, who can be reactive to other dogs on walks, and I immediately felt confident leaving him in Justin’s care. Before the walk, he took the time to ask questions. Justin was incredibly kind and patient with Boo, and it was obvious that Boo had a great time! He even came early in the morning to help us beat the summer heat, which I really appreciated. After their one hour walk, Boo came home happy, relaxed, and tired! I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for my own dog, Oscar, who is nearly 15 years old, as well as helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their pets, including cats. Oscar is in his senior dog era, so I am knowledgeable and empathetic to what senior dogs may need. As a teacher, I am dependable, patient, and attentive to detail. My schedule also allows me to be especially flexible during the summer to meet you and your pet’s needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours as if they were my own. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule during the summer and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care for your pets. During the school year, I am available after work, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I understand the importance of consistency and will work with you to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I will treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. You can count on regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My camera roll is probably 90% pictures of my dog, Oscar, so it’s safe to say I love sharing updates and photos while you’re away!
“Jessica is a truly exceptional caregiver and did an outstanding job taking care of our big dog while we were away. Her reliability and willingness to literally go the extra mile ensured that we were aware of the safety and wellbeing of our dog throughout our time away. We will certainly ask Jessica to help us again in a similar circumstance!”
About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs 12+ with medications and some stubbornness to take it (hiding the medicine is an art with them). But I love loving on them while you’re gone and making them feel cared for!! Love walking dogs too as I love to walk/run! So I have a business and pick up side gigs and hustles so I have a very free calendar:) I can help as you need and when you need for repeat sitter choice! I do not take pets into my home but I promise to spend time with them while in your home and give them attention, love, & care while there!!!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sycamore
From the very beginning, Fatima went above and beyond with my dog. I’ve worked with other sitters before, but none came close to the level of care and attention she gave. My dog wasn’t feeling well while I was away, and she handled everything with such kindness and responsibility. Even though he’s usually shy with new people, she patiently earned his trust until he was completely comfortable by her side. She kept me reassured with constant updates, photos, and thoughtful messages. Fatima is the kind of sitter every pet owner hopes to find, and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Sycamore on Rover is $25.68 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 Sycamore. 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 Sycamore.

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 Sycamore. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
