About: If you are looking for a safe, fun, and loving place for your dog to stay, look no further! I have always been passionate about animals and I have never lived without them. I currently have two dogs and a cat (all well trained). I have worked at animal shelters and have rescued, cared for, and adopted out upwards of 15 animals through my own home. When your dog stays with me, they will have a constant playmate through me, my husband and my other pets. We have a dog door with a fenced in backyard. We have toys and treats aplenty. I love to keep my families updated with pictures and videos of their animals having the time of their lives! Bring your fur baby over to play anytime! Most of my work happens at home and on my schedule. I regularly have foster animals so having extra pets in the home is already a part of my routine! We go on walks and play in the backyard! We have a dog door so there's always a bathroom for them if needed. However, we still walk however much you would like! Otherwise, they integrate into our lives as if they were our own.
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ and family friends dogs since 2015 ranging from English bulldog to Chihuahua to full size labradoodles. I have also cared for my own dogs. I am currently working part-time Monday-Thursday and am available after 3pm. I am fully available on Fridays. I work 1 weekend day which does fluctuate between Saturday and Sunday depending on the week - on that work day, I am available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. I am very respectful of the client’s home. I will obey their house rules. I will make sure to be thorough with any provided instructions and ask questions about things I am not sure about. I keep a clean and organized space.
About: I am a passionate animal lover with experience walking dogs and pet sitting in my neighborhood during breaks from school. I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-loved. I always try to treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or a little extra care, I’m excited to help meet their needs and keep their tails wagging! I'm a recently graduated English major from Chapman University and currently working on obtaining my Master’s degree from USC. My current routine leaves plenty of time open to take care of furry friends and give them the attention and love they need. I have one an indoor cat named Tigger who loves to play, sleep, and cuddle. Every day I ensure that she gets the care she needs by feeding her regularly, cleaning her litter box, and setting aside time each day to play with her and keep her active. I’m always attentive to a pets needs and make sure they’re comfortable and happy in my home
“Samantha was a gem! This was my first time using Rover while on a family vacation. Our meet n greet the evening prior to her dog care/walking services gave me such peace of mind. Samantha was reliable and so attentive - the overall experience allowed us to enjoy our time in the Disney parks while our Jessie ? was well taken care of - thank you ? times!”
“Chloe was amazing!! She stepped in at the last minute and I am so happy that she did!!! She was prompted on time for all of her visits and gave my dog Charlie all the love in the world in addition to some fun extra long walks! I’m so excited to have found her and will definitely be using her again”
“My dog absolutely loves Nora! She waits by the door when she knows it’s getting close to her walk time. Nora is great at communicating and very kind to my dog. I have already hired her again for another set of walks and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“I'm so grateful that Victoria was available on short notice. She answered very promptly, and my lab was very happy after his time with her. I would certainly hire Victoria again when we need her!”
“Jovanny and Robyn were truly awesome. Great communication and updates. They followed any instructions provided perfectly. They also gave Harley a lot of attention and love. I would highly recommend them”
“Wen has been an amazing dog walker! She took care of my two frenchies. She made sure they got plenty of exercise and water when they got back. What I loved about her is she would make sure to update me and take so many photos of my baby's. I highly recommend Wen! I will be using her in the future!”
About: Hey! My name is Alyson and I’m ready to get your dog snoozing and waiting for your arrival. Been pet sitting for years!! I grew up around dogs, I had a black lab and after his passing I got two dogs, a Pyrenees and a Chihuahua mix… I’ve worked with it all.😅 I’ll have your dog tired out and snoozing in no time! I am free ALL SUMMER LONG! Anytime, anywhere, I’ll take good care of your fur baby. I can do morning, afternoons, evening, everything! Like I said I’m very open. It’s all your call! Need them to go for a walk? Wanna play ball? Just want to cuddle up? I’m here for it.
About: Growing up with dogs all my life pets always felt like family members. Out of college, I worked at a doggy daycare, the Bone Adventure, where I learned a large range of skills. Sitting on the ground and hand feeding dogs that are having nervous bellies, picking up on body language, doggy first aid, as well as a general knowledge of pet care. I enjoy working with puppies as well as senior dogs and cats as well. I love taking dogs on walks and discovering their method of play. I’m available any day of the week I love getting out of the house and visiting with people’s pets, I love long walks, short walks, playing fetch, and lots of pats. I typically like to follow the owners instructions to the tea and adhering to the animal's normal routine to reduce any stress. I enjoy engaging with their toys and treats and giving lots of love and affection.
About: I have taken care of dogs all throughout high school and college whether it be family, neighbors, friends, or mutual friends! I am comfortable with giving pet’s medication or following specific instructions as needed. I can take care of all kinds of dogs and will be sure they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I love spending time with dogs especially as I am away from my own at home! I work from home as I have a remote internship this summer. I typically go to workout classes / go on runs in the morning but never longer than an hour. My backyard is dog friendly with a closed fence and lawn. My home is one story with plenty of room to play. Only one out of five of my roommates is home who also has dogs of her own.
About: Hi! I work remotely full-time, which means your dog will never be left alone and will receive lots of attention, supervision, walks, and play throughout the day. I love creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home while you’re away. I live in a quiet Charlestown cul-de-sac with minimal street traffic, which helps create a peaceful environment for dogs who may be nervous around loud noises or busy streets. My home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication needs, or specific routines. I enjoy having dogs around while I work from home, and I make sure they receive lots of attention and a calm environment during their stay. Since I live in a family neighborhood with a park nearby, walks and outdoor time also feel safer and less stressful for many dogs. I’m also flexible with schedules and happy to accommodate each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. While any dog stays with me, they are treated like family and cared for as if they were my own. They are welcome to sleep in my bed if they are comfortable doing so, and I also keep their own bed nearby so they have a familiar space to relax. My day typically starts around 7:00 AM when I get ready for my remote job, let the dogs outside for potty breaks, and feed them breakfast. Since I work from home full-time, the dogs are neverleft alone and are able to spend the day with me while I work. They usually relax, play, nap, or keep me company throughout the day. After a few hours of work, we’ll go on a walk and get some fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, I provide additional potty breaks, playtime, affection, and supervision to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. In the evenings, we wind down with more relaxing time, cuddles, and a consistent routine to help them feel at home during their stay.
“Abigail has been one of the walkers that has helped our family by walking my mother's dog, Camellia, while my mother recovers from surgery. Abigail has been flexible and accommodating as our schedules have changed. More importantly, Abigail is good with Camellia and it is clear that Camellia enjoys her walks with Abigail.”
About: Grew up with dogs and cats and and have been caring for my own pets and watching/housesitting my friends animals for many years. A pet turns your place into a home! I work from home with a flexible schedule, therefore I can give full attention to your fur baby. Having a routine is important to dog's and cat's wellbeing - keeping the same schedule every day is key. My place has a closed-in patio and a yard just a few steps away. It is safe and quiet. The neighborhood is great for walking.
About: I’ve had three cats almost my entire life, and have watched friends’ and neighbors’ cats so I am well versed in making sure they have the care they need! This past year, I got a handful of dog sitting gigs including two hyper golden retrievers and a senior terrier. I’m currently a full time college student home from break looking for something to do to help pay for school! I have full availability open! I am a big rule follower! Please let me know what care your animals need in your home and I’ll follow it to a T.
About: Hi, I'm Sharron - your pet's new best friend! I'm an experienced dog walker, runner and drop-in visitor with a limitless love for animals and an active lifestyle to match. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments - from playful small breeds to high energy hunting dogs and gentle giants. Whether it's a casual stroll, a good run, or a comforting drop-in visit, I'm here to give your pet the care, attention and exercise they need. Your pet's happiness and well being are always my top priority! : I know how important it is for dogs to get exercise everyday to maintain a healthy weight and also prevent them from wreaking havoc on your home. Allowing time outside sniffing is also vital and provides much needed stimulation. A relaxed pup is less likely to be destructive! :) : I look forward to taking care of your pet! Contact me if you have further questions or would like to schedule a COMPLIMENTARY Meet and Greet appointment where we can get to know each other and ensure it's a good fit for both of us. Thank you! I live a very active lifestyle and enjoy walking, running and playing with pets. I also have a home based business and am able to make my own hours, which allows me the flexibility to pop in and out for drop ins and dog walks as needed. I have experience walking, running and caring for many different temperaments and sizes of dogs. I can sense when your pup needs more exercise/attention or has had enough. I am careful to follow all instructions you have for me. I am also aware of our coyote friends in the area and will not leave your dog unattended. I will also stock food and water, dispose of dog poop and will collect mail and water houseplants if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
Mia took excellent care of my dog Raiken when she came to check on him and let him out while I was at work. It’s obvious Mia is an animal lover with a lot of experience being around pets and caring for them which is so comforting as a pet owner. She is also a great communicator and very responsible. I will absolutely have Mia back again and I know Raiken can’t wait to see her! Thank you Mia!
I had a wonderful experience with this walker! They took great care of my beagle, Bear, and made sure he had a great walk. They were reliable, communicative, and kept me updated with photos and messages. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Bear and treated him like their own. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!
Rylan, thank you so much for walking Bruno, he had a wonderful time! Bruno says, "Thanks for letting me stop and snuffle, that's the best part of walking!" I also appreciate that Rylan started walking Bruno a little early, since Bruno and I arrived at the park a little early. 😎👍🏻
I had a great experience with Isabella! She arrived right on time and was very personable from the start. My dog can be a bit timid with new people, but she was wonderful with her — patient, kind, and clearly experienced. Willow returned happily tuckered. I really appreciated the thoughtful feedback Isabella shared after their walk, too. I’d definitely hire her again!
Sydney has been a lifesaver! She has been very patient with my older dog who, although very friendly, can be pretty shy on first encounters. She has gone above and beyond of what is expected of her and has always made it a point to communicate with me throughout the day. I work very long hours and I have noticed how happy my dog has been since welcoming her into his daily routine 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Villa Park on Rover is $17.12 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 13,174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Villa Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Villa Park. 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 Villa Park.

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 Villa Park. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
