“Great experience for my puppy learning to be left alone during the day! Faith kept our training habits going and was even conscientious about checking her water before leaving. So grateful to have someone helping our little family out!”

“Arcely was fabulous. She did great with my dog, giving him time to get used to her and making sure he got a chance to burn off some extra energy. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could put 6 stars I would! Amna is so kind and attentive. She sends thorough communication and is always early. She is so understanding and takes very good care of my dog Zeus. When she’s with him I know he not only is in good hands but that he’s having fun with her. I feel so confident in her and would recommend Amna to anyone. I always know that she is going to take amazing care of my little fur baby!”

“Toni is not only extremely professional and experienced with dogs but she gave my pup so much love and had no problem with personalized care (specific feeding routine, walking a strong dog, 6+ pictures per walk, written daily reports). Toni was so communicative and I was never worried about my dog despite being out of the country and needing last minute edits to my booking! I am picky about who I trust with my dog since she’s a large adult rescue dog but I’d confidently recommend any dog owner to use Toni’s services! Your dog will thank you for it !! ??”

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.
About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!
About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.

About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.
“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”

About: Helped out family since I was little taking care of their furry family members. Also have volunteered numerous times over the years at local shelters and animal control. I currently work full time, so my hours may be a little odd. Switching to part time soon, so I will have more hours other than weekends opening up My dog is the center of my universe. Treat her like a member of my family. Make sure she gets plenty of exercise and attention everyday so that no day is boring for her if I can help it.

About: Hi Kelsea here, I have some experience, about 2 1/2 year training dogs. Having a fur babe/babies is the best thing anyone could have, they can be sometimes better than humans. Love being outside and playing with my puppy and yours too, just see there happy faces makes my day great. My apartment where am stating currently dosent allows any aggressive breeds you should be able to see the picture of what am not allowed to have.

Also hoping to go back to college so I can get my degree in medical office, while there am hoping to learn more about training animals too. In conclusion, I hope that you and your fur babe/babies will choose to come and have a awesome experience. Have a great day!!!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something very natural and meaningful to me. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience with their everyday needs, from walks and playtime to feeding, cuddles, and simply keeping them company. Unfortunately, I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, and I truly miss having a furry friend around. That’s actually one of the reasons I’d love to be a Rover walker - I’d be so happy to spend time with your pup and give them the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m available for dog walks on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m flexible with timing and happy to give your pup the exercise, attention, and care they need. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care, follow the owner’s instructions, and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during every walk.

About: I have been caring for dogs almost as long as I have been alive! I am available in the afternoons during the week, and anytime on the weekends. I can care for your dog as little as a short home visit, or a nice outing at the park. Your dog’s safety is a MUST in my book and always my first priority. Anything that could possibly put your dog in harms-way will not be tolerated. When it comes to long stays away from your dog, I highly encourage communication in any shape or form. My phone will always be in arms reach when it comes to taking care of one’s dog. Overall, I can guarantee your dog will always feel safe and loved while in my care.

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 Waukegan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
