“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”
“Louie is very particular about the company he keeps. He adores Cherri and enjoys going on walks with her. We were very grateful and very relieved that he has a new friend.🙂”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for two of my own with ongoing health needs: one with hip dysplasia, who needs walks with breaks, physical therapy, and swimming sessions, and one with IBD, who needs a strict diet and daily medication. I'm comfortable giving medication, managing special diets, and following care instructions exactly as given. I also spent a year pet-sitting a neighbor's puppy and cat, including daily visits and boarding. I'm a parent to a toddler and available every weekday morning, roughly 8:30am to 12pm, for visits and walks. Caring for pets is part of my daily rhythm already, so your pet gets my full attention during our time together, not a rushed in-between. I follow each pet's routine and instructions closely, whether that's medication, a specific diet, or a particular walking pace. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, since I manage similar things with my own dogs at home. I send photo updates during visits so you always know how things went.
“Sydney was fantastic! And it makes going away so much easier knowing that Mia is in good hands with someone who meets Mia as she is and is patient as Mia takes her time to warm up”
About: Hi, I'm Daisy 🌸 I have a miniature poodle that is the literal love of my life, and grew up with two standard poodles. I have experience volunteering at a local animal shelter and fostering kittens. I'm excited to meet your pup! I work at a restaurant 5 days of the week for 5-6 hours a shift. I’m looking for pet owners that are ok with this. I live next to a park where I take my miniature poodle for long walks around the lake. She is very friendly, and minds her business unless it’s playtime.
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
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.
“Leah is the best! She goes above and beyond for scooby and genuinely can tell she loves animals. She takes him on great walks and adores her from all the photos I see! 💖”
“Olivia is amazing and has been a great fit for my dog Sheffield for his daily walks. She is reliable, genuinely loves dogs and has great communication. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for dog services.”
“Joan was super quick to communicate with me on my last minute needs for a dog walker when I had to go out of town on business. My 6 month pup was happy and this new somewhat anxious dog owner felt supported. :)”
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.
About: My boys and I love watching dogs, taking them for walks and playing indoors or out in our fenced backyard. We love walking to Lake Ellyn and downtown Glen Ellyn. I work from home (except Thurs) and enjoy taking breaks throughout the day for walks. We will make sure to send you pictures. I work from home most days and can go for walks 2-3 times a day around our neighborhood. Walks can be short or long depending on dog and weather. I'll always make sure that your dog is safe, fed, hydrated and has had time for play. I will follow whatever routine you already have.
About: Dog owner for 17 years, cat owner my whole life. I’m very active love long walks and cuddles. 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 work from home so I can do before work (early mornings), midday and afternoons. I can stop in for feedings and or walks. Maybe just cuddles if that’s needed. Fenced yard, 2 friendly dogs. I can stop by for feedings/walks. Very trustworthy mom of 3 grown children. My pups are my world and I know you feel the same about yours.
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: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and have had dogs of my own since I was 4. I have experience with dog socialization including working with local humane societies and volunteering for 4 Paws 4 Ability, where I trained service dogs in training. I have experience with many breeds of all ages and am comfortable handling medication if needed. I will have plenty of time to take care of pups this summer as I just graduated college and am waiting to find employment! I am available to stop in to let your pup out or take them for a walk when you need if I’m in town! My top priority is making sure your dog or cat gets the love and care they need. As a pet owner, I know you expect someone who is qualified, reliable, and will put your babies first!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wheaton
Our 90-pound Goldendoodle is a big, energetic boy, and Joan has been wonderful with him. She handles him with confidence and care, which is so important with a larger dog, and she also reliably gives him his medication. The walks are thorough, he’s always returned happy and tired in the best way, and we get great updates. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys working with him and takes the time to make sure he’s safe and comfortable. We’re very grateful for the reliable, thoughtful care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted dog walker.
Max had a wonderful walk with Rebeca. She was even kind enough to help with his bootie during his walk. I don’t tighten it correct and it fell off. But she got it back on. I truly appreciate the pictures provided as well. Max seemed to be very comfortable with her. We will be booking Rebeca again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Wheaton is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $32 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 13,070 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wheaton. 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 Wheaton. 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 Wheaton 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 Wheaton. 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.
