About: I've had dogs growing up and I continue to love and care for my family and friend's pets. I have had experience with large dogs, small dogs, and puppies. I have experience with training and in Behavior training. During covid I fostered 6 dogs and found them loving homes and during that time I potty trained and taught simple commands while they were in my care. I am well versed in many care styles and if I don't know something I will always ask questions and do research on how to provide the best care. If your pet has any special needs I'm fit to help as well as I have had many different experiences. I can care for all sorts of animals such as turtles, lizards, bunnies, and hamsters. I'm a teacher so weekends and summer care is my specialty. I'm a pretty flexible person to work with so I'm able to make accommodations where they need to be made. I live in a condo with no yard, but I have access to one if needed. There is plenty of green space around and a walking trail right behind my home. I do not have any pets of my own and have an 18 year old son with down syndrome. He will be coming with me on visits when he is not busy with his own social calendar.

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working at Simple EJ’s 4PM to 10 PM every night, but Sundays. I also have class midday Monday-Thursday. Other than that, the rest of the time is for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog and will do everything I can to make him or her feel at home while you’re apart. I am an empty nester with 1 dog. Your dog will enjoy my fenced in yard and his/her own space. I have lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and all ages. I value outdoor time when weather permits and your pet will get fresh air and exercise daily. I have a goofy Australian cattle dog mix named Lenny. I let dogs on the furniture, and provide lots of cuddles if your dog allows. I am a responsible person who sincerely loves dogs and taking care of them! I’m working but make my own hours so can accommodate varying schedules. Love to take long walks on weekends in my neighborhood or at nearby parks. I have a fenced in yard. I will keep the dogs separate. Your pet can sleep in a crate if he/she wants or on comfy pet beds - whichever works best.

About: Hi! I am a 19 year old lifelong dog owner! Over the course of my life I have owned and taken care of around 20 dogs and 2 cats. Since I have taken care of so many different dogs I have experience with a very wide range of breeds and ages! I have had many dogs from puppies all the way into their senior years. These breeds of dogs consist of German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Pit Bull, Jack Russel, Chihuahua, Shihtzu, Corgi, Lab mixes, Bernese Mountain dogs and various mutt mixes. I also have around 2 years of experience working at Pet Supplies Plus and caring for the in-store fostered cats daily as well as the small animals and birds. I have a wide range of experience with differently tempered cats because of this and the small animals I took care of consisted of Syrian hamsters, dwarf hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, parakeets, and cockatiels! I also have a lot of knowledge of pet care products to assist you with your pets specific needs! I am currently in college majoring in photography! Thankfully my classes are all evening classes that start at 6pm, Tuesday-Thursday (I am unavailable fridays) so I will have from around 9:30 AM until 5:30 PM daily to care for your companions! I currently have three dogs, one being a Belgian Malinois, one a German Shepherd and the third a Pitbull mutt mix. I also have a fenced in backyard that they play in daily! I am absolutely experienced in the different energy levels and care that dogs may need!

About: Hi! I recently graduated from USC and moved back home for the summer. I have two dogs of my own and fostered five different dogs during college, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or extra attention and care, I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you're away. I recently graduated from USC and am back home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week, and I’m also available on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner and experienced foster, I understand that every dog has different needs and routines. I will follow any instructions you provide, maintain a safe environment, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I also believe in keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have two dogs of my own and being in grad school, I miss them dearly! Since I was 15, neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, care for, and sleep over with their pets. To me, caring for your pet is seeing them happy as well as respecting your home :) ALSO my 80lb Giant Schnauzer is the most stubborn dog known to man so if your dog is difficult, I’ve got you covered. I am currently in grad school full time doing hybrid classes & working in an office at Wheaton! I’m available after 4 every day of the week and am always eager to make time apart from my job & classes!! Not only do I love being with animals but I am also on the app to help pay for tuition. I am available to care of your pets in your home. I would love to play with them, take them on long walks, bathe them, or do anything that you need!

FAQs for Dog Walking - West Chicago

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in West Chicago is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 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 12,834 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Chicago. 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 West Chicago. 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 West Chicago 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 West Chicago. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
