“Bridget is wonderful, timely, engaging, and a natural trainer with dogs. My German Shepard absolutely loved her and in terms of dog walking…you’re getting a two for one…walking and teaching lessons!”
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.

About: I have had experience with dogs the majority of my life and have a beagle of my own! I have helped with taking care of different pets when people I know are on vacation or are busy.

About: I truly love pets and enjoy taking care of them. I regularly care for my brother’s and my boyfriend’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for dogs on a daily basis. I plan my schedule around their needs, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and relaxation. I care for pets in their home by following their routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks and making sure they feel safe and loved.
About: Years of Pet Care Experience: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience and a long history of fostering animals, I’ve worked with all types of animals each with their own unique needs and personalities. Pet Care Experience: I’ve been pet sitting for a long time, and during that time, I’ve built up a strong list of references from happy pet parents who trust me to care for their furry family members. In addition to pet sitting, I also foster animals, giving me the experience of caring for pets in all stages of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. What sets me apart: Expertise in caring for puppies, including training, feeding, and socialization Gentle and attentive care for senior dogs, including medication reminders and comfort Plenty of exercise and playtime for active dogs A calm, patient approach for anxious or shy pets Fostering experience that’s helped me understand the needs of rescue dogs and those adjusting to new environments I’m committed to providing love, attention, and consistent care, with updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. With 20 plus years of experience caring for cats and a background in fostering animals, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the unique needs of our feline friends. Cat Care Experience: I’ve been caring for cats for a long time, both through pet sitting and fostering, which has given me the skills to care for a wide range of cat personalities—from playful kittens to more reserved, independent cats. My experience with fostering also means I’m well-versed in helping cats adjust to new environments and routines. I have references from happy cat parents who can vouch for my loving and attentive care. Here’s what sets me apart: Respect for your cat’s personal space and routine Gentle play and engagement based on your cat’s mood and preferences Careful attention to feeding, litter box maintenance, and any special instructions (including medication) Experience working with rescue cats, helping them feel secure and comfortable Regular updates with photos to keep you connected with your kitty while you’re away I’m here to provide a calm, caring environment where your cat feels safe and happy. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they are in a safe, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and roam freely while staying secure. Inside, the house is set up with designated areas for rest and relaxation, making sure pets have a comfortable place to settle in. I keep the environment calm and quiet, especially for pets who may be nervous or need time to adjust. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort level. I respect the boundaries you’ve set for your pet’s care and always follow specific instructions closely, whether it’s about feeding, walks, or any special needs. I take extra care to leave your home as I found it, ensuring cleanliness and organization. Trust and communication are key, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Safety & Trust Are My Priorities: Fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play Comfortable indoor spaces for rest Respect to your pet's schedule and routines Regular updates to give you peace of mind Clean and organized care in your home Whether in my home or yours, your pet will be cared for with love and attention in a safe, nurturing environment.
About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.
“Adriana was wonderful with our dogs and a delight to work with. She was very understanding of our dog’s needs and we hope to continue building a working and trusting relation with her.”

I just lost my 15 year old dog so I’m familiar with senior care and we currently have a puppy so I’m dealing with that so I can handle anything.

I also clean up after pets, monitor their health and behavior, and provide regular updates, photos, and communication to the owner for peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
I recently moved to the area and needed someone reliable and trustworthy to help care for my dog, and Amberley has been amazing! She is so friendly, caring, and attentive, and I love the updates she provides after her daily drop-ins. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. I’m so happy I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!
Annie is phenomenal with Aggie! She’s patient with my dogs stubbornness and goes with the flow. I trust her to drive Aggie to the parks around the area so she can get a change of scenery and sniffs. Great communication, accommodating to my schedule/last minute changes I sometimes have, and nothing but kind to my dog. She sometimes has her parents bring her dog over to my backyard for a little play date and walk! Aggie loves her and she loves Aggie back. It truly a wonderful relationship that makes me feel safe that my dog is being taken care of so well.
Macey has done such an outstanding job walking our Sophie this summer. From the first meet & greet, she read Sophie like a book: anticipating when she might bark at another dog, chase a squirrel, or simply watch a rabbit eating grass. And Sophie is a Great Dane mix so she weighs 90 pounds! Macey communicates fully and regularly and has almost always been able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I will simply say that Macey is simply the best and we've already arranged future times we'll need her help. We cannot thank her enough!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Villa Park is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,944 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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Villa Park after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
