“Wonderful experience! She provided great updates throughout the visit, sent plenty of photos, and took excellent care of my dog. Communication was easy, and it was reassuring to know he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve helped walk and play with dogs at a local dog shelter and also watch my friend’s dogs, including walking and sitting two dogs at a time. I work remote, Tuesday to Friday, and my job isn’t very busy so I have plenty of time on my hands to walk dogs anytime time during the weekdays. Weekends are also flexible too. When I care for dogs in my friend’s homes, they have fenced in backyards for them to run around in but I also walk them in the neighborhood and on trails.
“Karen was very sweet with my dog and made sure he had some play time with his walks. She was great about staying in touch with me and sharing updates from her visits.”
“Michael has been a wonderful, experienced walker for our energetic, reactive cattledog. Michael takes careful notes and aims to walk your pup the way you prefer and work on any existing issues. We are grateful for the assistance and would recommend him without hesitation!”
“Jason was great! He took care of our animals while we were out of town. Quickly responded to texts, and sent photos of our animals when he was with them. Greatly appreciated Jason’s high quality service!”
About: I work full time remotely. I love pets and have grown up with various kinds of pets my whole life. Im very comfortable with them and love to cater to them. I am a responsible professional that also uses this app for my beloved dog and know how it feels to want your pet to be safe and happy while in the care of someone else. I work through the week but have weekends available to take care of your pet while away. I too have a little chihuahua mix that needs attention when I’m away. I understand loving your fur friend but having other obligations and being in need of someone to tend to them. My little pooch is friendly and loves other dogs. He totally vaccinated and has his rabies shots as well. I will have your dog in doors however will take them for walk to get fresh air at your request. I live in pet friendly apartment accommodation with dog parks throughout it.
About: Experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Skilled in puppy training, basic obedience, trick training, and senior dog care, including medication support and mobility assistance. Comfortable with grooming tasks such as brushing, bathing, and coat maintenance. I focus on creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for every dog in my care. I am available for dog walking weekdays from 6 am to 2:30 pm. My weekend availability is all day for both Saturday and Sunday. As for pet sitting I am available as needed. I organize my day around the pets needs including feeding schedule, exercise & play schedule, and unique needs. Leashes are always used unless a closed area is available and allowed by the owner.
“Our pup loved having Anton visit and walk her while we were out of town! We also had a neighbor drop things off which he brought inside for us. We will definitely have him help us again with our pup. Thank you, Anton!”
“Azucena is fantastic! She paid close attention to whatever my dog Hazel needed, is very on top of it, is communicative as needed, and provided updates after each walk. I would recommend Azucena!”
“Melika is very communicative and does a fantastic job. I’m very pleased with the work she does and the loving way she cares for Loki. I hope I get to use her services frequently.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 7 years. I have 2 yorkie mix dogs, I am responsible and caring to pet owner and will give my best to yours. I am currently working part time, I have time to care for your furbaby during the day on selected days or boarding after 7pm and overnight. I have a fenced backyard, live in an house with two friendly small dogs to keep yours with company. Live in a safe neighborhood. I am very reliable.
About: While I haven't worked professionally in pet care, I've had animals throughout my entire adulthood. I currently share my home with a senior cat and a high-energy medium-sized dog, so I'm comfortable with pets at very different life stages — from playful and active to calm and gentle. I work part-time and study from home most of the week, so my schedule is flexible. Aside from Tuesday mornings, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'm typically able to spend 30 minutes to an hour per walk or drop-in, giving pets plenty of one-on-one attention. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog who LOVES to play. I do have a senior cat but she hangs out downstairs which is gated off and doesn’t have any interest in socializing with dogs. You can count on plenty of photo and video updates throughout our time together, so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Our dogs love Helena! She is very kind, caring, and punctual. Our dogs loves Helena’s warm personality and they greet her with lots of love. Our little cavapoo Whitney is typically fearful and a little anxious at times. Whitney has quickly warmed up to Helena and not as anxious doing the transfer of leash at the door. Thank you so much Helena for your love, care and patience you give our fur babies.”
About: I love dogs. All sizes but I have a soft spot for small dogs. I'm the type that like to do long walks and go to doggie parks. Im currently working full time but I know some people work late nights and their puppies need some loving and affection while they are gone. Im that person to give it. Im free from 5:30 to 9pm. Monday through Friday and 10am to 10pm Saturday and Sunday I know how hard it is to trust someone with your baby (I see all pets as babies) so I take this responsibility very serious. I want you to know how caring and responsible and understanding of the importance of taking care of your puppy. I have some puppy toys and a crate for certain times of the day. Doggy parks are a must as well. Plus im very energetic and love playing
About: I was raised within a big family of dog lovers and have since expanded my love to cats (so much so that I now have my own cat). I was taught from an early age that pets aren’t just animals – they are family, a lifetime commitment, honor and privilege. Whether it’s caring for my family’s senior, blind and diabetic pug, my neighbor’s rambunctious puppy or my best friend’s anxious cat, I treat all fur babies like my own family. Additionally, I also work in the arts. I find that my deep love for the arts also influences my style of pet and home care. With me, it’s a guarantee your precious cargo will be treated like family and like the unique piece of art that they are. I’m a freelancer in the arts and work from contract to contract. The summer months are significantly slower than the rest of the year, so I have lots of extra time between May and August to dedicate to the care of your dog, cat or home! Whatever parameters you set for the care of your pet and home, I will always follow to the letter. Give me as much or as little instruction as you see fit and I will make your best case scenario a reality. I am also always willing to send you as many pictures, videos or texts as you wish while you are away. I know and greatly value how much these tidbits can help with peace of mind.
“Amelia is the best!!! She’s been so very patient with our dog, Leah, who has major anxiety issues. She’s always prompt and timely in her communication. Leah just adores her and that makes us very happy.”

Maya! Thank you so much! Envy was incredibly happy upon meeting Maya and easily welcomed her warm personality. I received qualitative updates in each Rover card with adorable photos to pair! Maya was receptive to all procedures necessary to provide care to my pup and will absolutely use again!
Mary Beth does an amazing job with our quirky one-eyed chihuahua Polly! She also was able to help us out with our foster dog Lizzie, who was very shy at first. We rest easy knowing our pups have had a good exercise break in their day while we are at the office!
Ajamu has been wonderful with my two pups, Poli and Bruno! 🐾 I feel completely comfortable having him come work with and walk them. He is incredibly patient, calm, and thoughtful in the way he teache and not just the dogs, but us as owners too! It really means a lot to have someone I trust who genuinely takes the time to understand and work with them. We’re so grateful to have found him!
My pup Brandice is sometimes a little hesitant around new people but during the meet and greet with Kayla she ran right up to her for pets. Kayla's experience with reactive dogs put me at ease knowing she would be able to handle some of Brandice's quirks. I appreciated the updates and photos that were sent after each walk. I would totally recommend her to anyone in the area for drop-in's and walks and will definitely book again in the future!
Naomi did a fantastic job taking great care of our three rambunctious dogs while we were away on vacation. Walking them twice daily, sending photos on daily walks, and checking in. It was a relief to see them so happy and well cared for while we were away. Naomi was very kind and gentle with our dogs even though they have a tendency to pull and she kept us updated thru text messages. Since we arrived back home our dogs have been sitting in the window looking for Naomi most especially around the normal times she would arrive. I would not hesitate to have Naomi care for our pups again. Very consistent and reliable, Thank you Naomi for your great care and kindness!
Concetta is wonderful! She loves animals, and bonds easily with them, and she’s extremely professional and dedicated. All of our dogs are delighted to see her for a walk, and we know that they’ll be well cared for and nurtured when she takes care of them when we’re out of town.
Drew is just fantastic! He gave both of my doggies such nice walks, took great pictures and updated me about how they were doing. I was very impressed because especially my dog Jack can be hard to handle. He didn’t bat an eye! Will definitely be using Drew again!!!

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

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.
