About: We love dogs, and have small loving family. I work from home and we are around on weekends, so are perfect for when you need a weekend or week of dog sitting. Our lives have always included dogs, and love spending time with them! We both have experience with puppies and older dogs, and we love going for walks. We have two boys (Archie 6 and Eddie 3) and a lab/vizsla coco (9) and we are all dog lovers! I take coco for two walks a day, which are about 1 mile. I would love to have another dog to take on our walks! We cannot wait to meet your dog and spend quality time with them. I work from home so I will have a lot of time to spend with your dog! I can take the dogs out as much as needed. I work from home and will spend most of the day with the dogs. We have an unfenced yard, but I don't mind taking dogs out on a leash! I can take the dog out as much as needed.
“John was wonderful with both our dogs! He was on time, got to know them first, and won them over very quickly. Even our older dog who is very skittish took to John immediately for a walk this week. Would highly recommend!”
“Sam always does a spectacular job, our dogs absolutely adore her and she treats them with such love and respect that I honestly don't even worry when we're away because I know they're in good hands. She goes above and beyond to send pictures and updates and will sit with the pups after their walk to give them pets and talk to them. She always works with us to meet our time schedule needs for walks and treats our home with respect as well. I can't say enough about how much we appreciate that we found such a trustworthy and reliable walker for our two little dogs! They have the best time with her on their walks and when we come home from our trips they're less stressed and more just happy to see us because they've gotten proper exercise and lovins in our absence. Thanks again for the walks, Tater and Abby will be excited to see us leave next time so they can get more! Haha”
“Very grateful for Jessica! She has been doing daily walks with my senior dog and giving him lunch while I’m at work. She takes great care of him and it’s so nice to know he’s is in good hands!”
“Gina is kind, punctual, flexible, understanding, and reliable! We have a dog with some fear of strangers and she is taking the time our dog needs to feel comfortable with walks and overnights. She is very friendly and accommodating!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. I’ve had many dogs over the years and all were loved, cared for, and given a life they deserve. I’m currently working part time and have hybrid classes. So, I have time to meet the needs of families and their fur babies. I am available to drop in the day, or spend nights to make sure your animals are cared for. I make sure they have clean water and food when needed. I let them out to run around and take pets on walks. I brush animals to make their coats soft, and offer baths.
“This is my second time booking Stephanie while going on vacation! She is so amazing! She even goes out of her way to help me communicate with my grandma when I can’t get a hold of her. I know Thor loved her so much and can’t wait to see her again in the future! I highly recommend Stephanie”
“I’m so glad Edgar is taking care of my dog during the day. I love getting my message and pictures, and I know he’s getting exercise, a potty break and some attention. I highly recommend Edgar to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Tamara is amazing. Our dog Luna loves her walks with her. We know she is in good hands. I would recommend Tamara to anyone that has a dog and wants to know your baby is taking care of.”
“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.”
“Stephanie is so communicative when she is caring for Drogo. She is sure to send lots of pictures with updates and leaves detailed report of the stay/walk/etc. I know Drogo is in good hands with with Stephanie while I am away.”

I can’t recommend Jocelyn enough as a dog walker! She takes such great care of my dog and is always so patient and attentive. I’ve truly noticed a positive difference, my dog is happier, more relaxed, does not pull as much and looks forward to their walks together. It gives me peace of mind knowing my pup is in such caring hands. Jocelyn is reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. I’m so grateful to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Western Springs on Rover is $22.2 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 12,942 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Western Springs. 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 Western Springs. 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 Western Springs.

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 Western Springs. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
