“Sam is communicative, on time and friendly and was so pleasant to work with. My dogs clearly love her and I appreciated her notes and photos while we were away. Thanks Sam, for everything!”
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.
“She is absolutely amazing! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates quickly and clearly, and always prioritizes safety. I really appreciate how she reinforces our dog’s training and handles dogs with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely and feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Destiny is seriously the best. Always keeps me updated on the babies- even on my kitties at home who are hanging out! I work 12 hours at a time so having these updates makes my heart happy. She’s the best.”
About: I am a happy owner of 3 large dogs- goldendoodles and a labradoodle, along with a cat and a rabbit! I love animals and love being around them and playing with them. I used to co-own an in-your-home pet care business called Mollycoddles. I make trips daily to people's houses to take care of their pets while they're at work or on vacation. I have experience with dogs off all sizes, ages, and conditions. I took a break during 2025 to focus on a new career and just moved to the Darien area from Lisle- so I’m ready to meet some Darien/Willowbrook/DG pups and cats! I work from home most days and care for pets in the mornings or during your lunch breaks! Late night visits can also be arranged with repeat clients! During the summer. Hours can be flexible for visits, especially on weekends. All services will be done in your home- I will travel to you and your pup or cat and take care of them there! No worries of having to pack bags or overnight items. Potty breaks and walks are the best for working paw-rents!
“Thank you, Stephanie, for making our first Rover experience so smooth! We had to be out for the day, so Stephanie came and fed Teddy lunch and took him for a walk. She was professional and came on time, and sent photos of Teddy along the way. We will be contacting her again soon!”
About: As a devoted pet mom to two cats and two dogs, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of affection. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. With advance notice, I can also accommodate special schedules and multiple visits per day. I will carefully follow your pet’s usual routine and all instructions provided. During each visit, I will make sure food and water are fresh, doors and windows are secure, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. I will also send photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“I think my dog, Toby, likes Michelle more than me these days! But seriously. Michelle has been an outstanding caregiver to my German Shepherd. Toby is 10, stubborn, and disabled, so finding someone I can trust is key. Having to be in the office a few days a week has added a lot of new stress lately. At least I know Toby's in good hands when I'm not home. Thank Michelle for all that you do!”
“Phyllis has been a godsend!! We have used her twice to care for our dog, Maggie. As soon as we met Phyllis we knew our dog would be in good hands and she was! Phyllis met our dog and us to ensure it was a good fit. She provided consistent update and pictures showing Maggie was doing well. We would highly recommend Phyllis!”

I am an absolute animal lover and my goal is to achieve trust, with the pet parent and the pet. Also, to provide the best care as though they were my own.

I am very flexible with the pet parents needs! I always establish trust with the pet first, they need to feel comfortable first and for most. And I make sure that the pet is on the leash prior to leaving and or starting a walk. If I am boarding I have a fenced in back yard along with a very loving French Chow to keep your pet company. If need be she can always spend time elsewhere in the home if you are not comfortable with you’re pet being around another pet.

Veronika came to the rescue on very short notice. She handled my very timid chihuahua mix without any difficulty. She arrived right on time, sent photos of each walk with my dog and demonstrated an understanding of my dog's needs with much warmth. I found her to be a trustworthy and capable. I would hire her again without hesitation.
Ana has always done an amazing job caring for my fur baby, Dakota. I’ve worked with her locally many times and was so excited to see her join Rover to continue growing her dog‑sitting career. Ana truly cares about the animals she works with and always takes the time to listen and understand what each pet needs. Dakota is not an easy dog to care for, between her cancer‑related medical needs and her reactive fear of other dogs and children, she can be complicated to leave in someone else’s care. Ana has always risen to these challenges and made us feel completely at ease trusting Dakota with her. This year, we went on a two‑week vacation to Italy, and Ana stayed in our home to care for Dakota the entire time. Not a single walk or medication was missed, and Dakota was loved and cared for as if she were Ana's own pet. I will always trust Ana with Dakota’s care and would confidently trust her with any pets we have in the future. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

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 .

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 Willowbrook. 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.

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 Willowbrook. 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.
