Cary was wonderful with my dog June and she loved him. He always kept in touch and told me how things were going. He was very respectful and kind and was there when I needed him to help me with my pet. I can only say that he's the best at this business.

Nick was geat! Super communicative from the start, asked a lot of good questions to really understand our dog and her routine, and was great with her. You can tell he genuinely cares and takes this seriously. We felt at ease, everything was smooth and easy, and we really appreciated the updates. We’ll definitely be booking him to walk June again!

Patrick did a great job walking Killer for 2 afternoons. He stepped up at the last minute to help us out of an unexpected jam, and we really appreciate it. Patrick is pleasant, funny and easy going. Killer felt comfortable immediately upon meeting. We will ask Patrick for help next time we meed a walker.

Mariah did everything right when it came to my extremely fearful dog Pepper. She came for a meet and greet before the walk to learn a little bit about her/how to handle her and I really appreciated it. I got updates throughout, and a great report after. Wil definitely book Mariah for future walks!

Mikayla has been wonderful with my pittie. She started regularly walking him and things could not be going better. My pittie can be a handful as he is sassy and does not like other animals, especially dogs, but Mikayla has handled him well! Will definitely continue to use Mikayla!

Ashley has been very accommodating and flexible even on short notice. When my dog has stubbornly wanted to stay indoors she’ll make another attempt after a few minutes to go on their scheduled walk when my dog is inevitably ready to begin their journey around the neighborhood.

About: Hi!! I’m Allene — your pet’s new best friend (and your peace of mind while you’re away). I’ve been pet sitting for years and have experience volunteering at a pet boarding facility, plus I’m an active volunteer with PAWS Chicago — so I’m very used to all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and main character pet energy! I also have a lab/border collie named Kuzma, so I fully understand the chaos, the energy, and the unconditional love that comes with it. I love to travel, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you actually trust (not just someone who shows up, feeds them, and dips). I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and honestly… a little spoiled. Expect lots of updates, pics, and me treating your pet like they’re my own I currently work part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I’m available after 12:30 PM on weekdays and have full availability on weekends. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m great at sticking to routines and making sure your pet’s schedule stays consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect your space while keeping your pet in a familiar, low-stress environment. I’m very attentive, follow all care instructions closely, and keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make you feel confident and your pet feel completely at ease!

Whitney was absolutely amazing! She was flexible to my changing schedules and she is always available to help out with your fur baby. My dog Fiona enjoyed her walks with Whitney and I got wonderful report cards with pictures of their walk. From Fiona’s reaction to see Whitney, I could tell that she has a very loving heart towards your pet. Whitney is extremely reliable and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her. Thanks Whitney from Fiona and me! ?

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Uptown dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Uptown.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
