Absolutely love Katelyn. I am very protective of who I allow to walk my Zoey since she is known to be quite a puller and loves to bark. After the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with Katelyn walking Zoey.

Jessica did an amazing job walking my pitbull! She was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with handling dogs. My pup came back happy and well-exercised. She was also very communicative, giving me updates during the walk, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Will definitely be booking with her again!

About: I have been taking care of animals from a young age of 15. I grew up with a German shepherd which started my love for dogs. I use to volunteer at an animal shelter in Iowa when I was going to college. I would walk every single dog because it would break my heart to see them stuck in such a small space. I also rescued around 20 dogs, 50 cats, and one monkey when I was living overseas. I am very empathetic towards animals especially because they are such innocent beings. I also worked with different rescue groups overseas. I currently have 3 dogs I rescued from Peru South America. Their stories are pretty crazy but now they are living the dog dream. So I am very excited to work with animals! I am a stay at home mom looking to help owners with their pets. Having 3 dogs myself I know how necessary it is to have help! 1st I would like to come meet the pet first so we can create a trust. Then I would make sure they were comfortable in their home with plenty of food and water. I would just follow all the rules the owner has for me especially if there dog is on a specific diet. If it is okay with the owner also carry training treats with me for walks.

About: I've taken care of both kitten and puppies to a senior dog. It's been a very rewarding opportunity to gain trust from my pets and the pets in my family. I'm patient, caring, and responsible. I work a full time job 9-6pm Monday through Friday. I'm available on weekends, I'll be able to care and walk for most of the day. Keep routine as much as possible, I know it will depend on the pet but my goal is to keep them calm and happy just like any other day.

About: I am new to professional pet care, but I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time with dogs. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I am excited to provide safe, caring dog walks and drop-in visits and treat every pet like my own. My work schedule varies from week to week but I’m flexible and always make time for pet care. I’m usually able to fit in dog walks and drop in visits on most days, depending on timing. I enjoy being active and spending time with pets, so I will do my best to accommodate requests and keep communication clear. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, attentive presence during walks and drop-in visits, making sure each dog feels secure and cared for.

About: My name is Kaileigh and I live in the Pingree Grove area. I have been around dogs my entire life! Before moving into my town home I would house sit my family, friends and co-workers dogs. Just looking for a little extra cash on the side and what better way to do that then walking dogs! I love being outside and will take your dog on a walk for however long you would like. I am super friendly and outgoing. I do work a full time job over in Elgin, IL so I'm looking for walking gigs in the evening or anytime during the weekends. I do not currently have a dog because of my small living space and full time hours, I just feel too bad which is why I think Rover is such a great service! I will love and care for your pet just as much as you do.

Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.

About: I am 19 years old and I like to go by Leslie. Growing up on a farm along with multiple giant dogs, I've learned my fair share of pet care. Learning to handle and bathe dogs from the smallest Toy Poodle all the way to the largest Great Dane from volunteering. Speaking of Danes; I share my home with two rescue Great Danes and a Sun Conure. I specialize in dogs and am a former volunteer at Anderson Animal Shelter and Anderson's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. I can sit for your pets almost any day! I'm free most of the time, other than when I'm out meeting other pets. I provide a large yard for my dogs, a seperate room for my bird, frequent vet checkups, healthy diets, all day access to water and outdoors, moderated chewys and toys, and a personal dog cage for sleeping in at night. In a client's home, instructions and routines are taken very seriously, no matter how specific, to ensure that a pet is well taken care of at all times.

Walking is no big deal my availability is always open for walking I provide attentive, personalized care for pets both in my home and in clients’ homes. I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. In a client’s home, I also focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining a clean and respectful space. In my home, I create a safe, calm environment where pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and exercise. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I'm a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for the past four years, where I've gained extensive experience handling groups of dogs, recognizing behavior cues, and providing safe, attentive care in a fast-paced environment. I'm also an approved veterinary assistant, which has given me additional training in animal health and wellness. I'm experienced in administering both oral and topical medications and know how to monitor pets for signs of illness or discomfort. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness will always be my top priority. In addition to working with animals, I'm a full-time college student and college cheerleader, so I'm responsible, dependable, and great at managing my time. I'm looking to earn some extra income doing what I truly love—caring for pets and giving them the same love and attention they receive at home. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide personalized, compassionate care. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit so you can relax knowing they're in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! While I will have a busy schedule, I will always make it a priority to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you’re away! This includes sticking to their schedule to the best of my ability, making sure they get all their energy out before bed time, or anything else they need!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born. My first dog was a 100 pound German Shepard mix, then we got a miniature border collie mix, then a hound, and now we have a one year old german shepard belgian malinois. I have helped train and take care of all of our family dogs and we take our dogs on at least 2 walks a day! I can take care of any type of dog and I will of course love every animal I take care of. I have no problem picking up poop on walks! I would love to help you take care of your Dogs! I am currently a college student at Judson University studying Architecture. I would be able to take care of your pet before 7:45am and I am available during lunch time. I am also volleyball player and practices are normally from 4-6 so I would be able to go over after that. MWF I have class from 1-5 so I wouldn’t be able to go in that time frame and my volleyball games are normally Tuesday and Thursday nights which I could go over after those. I have a fenced in yard at my house but I also have energetic dogs so I take them on walks every day twice a day. They both love to play fetch and obviously they love to go on their daily walks. I can do anything from just letting them out and throwing the ball for them to walking around the block or even a mile. I am flexible with what kind of service your pet may need!

FAQs for Dog Walking - West Highland Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in West Highland Acres on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,234 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Highland Acres. 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 West Highland Acres. 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 West Highland Acres.

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 West Highland Acres. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
