“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!”
“Gaby is amazing! She provides great details after each walk along with photos and she is wonderful with my dogs who are reactive on the leash. Gaby, thank you for taking such great care of my babies.”

“Dylan had been awesome with Ellie. He’s very patient and loving to her. Plus he’s been super flexible with our schedule. We are glad we found him and definitely recommend to anyone!”

“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.”


“Jaime was awesome! He was very communicative, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of our dog, June. We felt really comfortable the whole time and will definitely be booking him again.”

“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.”

“Darisbeth is absolutely wonderful!! Takes excellent care of my baby Milo on their walks. Always sends updates and photos along their walks and Milo always seems very happy! She is very communicative and overall has been a wonderful experience having her walk him”

“We love Madeline! She’s incredibly reliable, responsive and kind. I love the updates and photos she shares with me and can tell my dog loves her. Thanks for taking such good care of my little guy on all his walks!”

“Madison was great!! Really loved that she gave Calvin space to get comfortable with her and handled him great during walks. Calvin really liked her, even though it is difficult for him to trust new people, he was happy to see her after meeting once. Very excited for future bookings :)”


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!
“Koemi was awesome and we would definitely bring her back! She was quick to reply, on time, and took Hershey on a perfect big walk to tire her out. Thank you!!”

“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! ?”

Jamie is a total professional! He was reliable and prompt every day he was scheduled. He took such great care of our dog and went above and beyond providing updates and lots of pictures. We will definitely be booking with Jamie again 10/10 recommend him for all your pet needs!

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!
Oliver is so gentle and kind-hearted! He's always on time, extremely flexible, and perfectly follows instructions. He makes it so easy to leave my dog in his care, and I have full confidence whenever she's with him that she's safe and happy. Her delighted reaction whenever he comes over to pick her up is the only 5⭐ review that anyone will ever need!

I want to thank Keely for her patience with my dog and for always being attentive and on time during the four days she walked him. He is a bit of a particular breed, but she handled everything 100% perfectly. I highly recommend her — she is a kind person and truly great with pets. I would definitely book her again. AAAAA++++++++ Thank you Keeley.

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.

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.
