“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”
“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”
“Sara has been amazing with my dog. She has now provided services for my dog a few times and has been patient with my dog, who is shy and scared of almost everything. She has also been great with communication. Glad to have matched with her and look forward to booking future walks with her”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet.

“Collette is the greatest dog walker ever! When I was at work in the city, my pup Sonny started to have seizures and continued having seizures until I got back home. She stayed by his side the entire time. She is very compassionate and caring and has been helping me out with dog walking for almost a year now. She is truly the best! Thank you Collette for everything that you do for me.”

Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, gentle approach, I’m committed to meeting their individual needs. Services I offer: * 30-minute drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection * Overnight stays to keep your pet company and maintain their normal routine * 30-minute walks that start and end with cuddles, ensuring your furry friend gets both exercise and love I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal in my care like family. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing dependable, loving care you can count on! Im currently getting certified as an EMT so I have lots of free time for your furry friend! I am available every weekday and weekend nights! In your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established schedule. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime routines to help your pet feel secure while you’re away. I keep the environment clean, monitor your pet’s well-being, and provide regular updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Emily was awesome with my pup! She was accommodating for my dogs needs and gave me multiple updates throughout their walk. Would definitely recommend to any dog owners looking for someone who loves pups more than people ❤️ Will definitely be working with her again!”

About: I treat my dog like he is my child and do the same for yours. I have lived with dogs my whole life and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, if your dog has any special needs I will take care of them. I love long walks with my dog and if your dog does too he will be well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard so playing fetch will be great for them. I live in a ranch style home so stairs won't be a problem for older dogs. The bigger the dog the better. I had a great dane for many years so big dogs are not a problem either. Your dog will never be lonely here. I am currently a stay at home mom. I will have all day to care an play with your pets. I am also available on weekends for boarding. I have a fenced in yard and my dog Sabbath gets along great with all the dogs he meets. Your dog will never be alone.
About: I understand how difficult leaving your pet with someone else can be! They are, after all part of our family! I’ve had pets all my life, from goldfish to parakeets, guinea pigs to bunnies, cats and of dogs from big to small, and special needs rescues. I have experience in dog walking, overnight stays, administering medications, seniors, and special needs pets. I can assure you that I will not only complete any and all tasks you request of me, I will also do them with love, patience, and above all, safety. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as comfortable, safe, and loved as my own! I will pay close attention to your instructions and keep your pet on its routine to ensure as little stress as possible while you are away. I am big on communicating, sending pictures and videos, and making sure YOU are as stress free as I intend your pets to be! 😌 I am also highly aware of how worrisome leaving the care of your home to someone is and can assure you I am respectful in each and every home I stay in, keeping it tidy and cared for as per your instructions. Besides adoring animals, I am passionate about my family, the outdoors, music and working on growing my other businesses. I was the owner of a small mani/pedi business and boutique in downtown Hinsdale, IL for 25 yrs.during which time I also studied and offered foot reflexology. It was also during this time that I first started caring for clients pets and homes while they traveled. Unfortunately due to health issues and the onset of Co-Vid, I was forced to close my shop. I do however continue foot reflexology massage for die hard clients in their homes today! My love for creativity also lives on in a hobby turned hopeful business of painting small pieces of furniture. A particular niche of end tables turned into pet beds is becoming my new favorite 🤩. I would love to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet! It is an essential part of the process for first time clients, as forming a bond with your pet and establishing a good fit for everyone is a top priority! I currently work part-time both from home and out of clients homes as described above, and have flexible hours. Traveling more than 8 miles from my home base of Villa Park for dog walks and drop ins are a bit more tricky, but overnights are not a problem for a distance up to 15 miles. While I currently am not able to board animals at my home, a good portion of my business is caring for them in yours. They are treated with patience and compassion, and receive all the love and attention that I give my own with safety being my number one concern. I will look after your home and be happy to help out with any extra needs you may have (water plants, check mail, take out garbage, etc.)

“Our dogs loved Carly! She seemed to really care about the specifics of our dogs' needs. They have some special needs so we worry about leaving them with other people-but Carly put us at ease. She was on time, asked questions, took the cutest pictures, and sent us a detailed report to say how the visit went. Our pups can't wait to see Carly again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
Sara was absolutely fantastic from meet & greet to walking our two Dobermans while we were on a day trip. Our older Doberman is a rescue and does not always warm up to new people. He loved Sara immediately! Sara also handled our jump-y Goose, who is technically an adult but all puppy energy. Would highly recommend Sara!
Excellent service! So polite! Understanding of my situation not being able to walk easily. Jang listened to me when I explained the walking area around my complex. Gave me some great ideas and report on Timothy’s behavior performance. Thank you so much! Highly recommended her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Villa Park on Rover is $20.06 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 13,770 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
