About: I have about 7 years of pet handling experience from my own animals to volunteering at animal shelters in LA. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I have gained experience from my own dogs, one of which was blind and deaf. With over 250 hours volunteering at my local city animal shelter, I gained additional experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I cannot wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am usually busy on the weekends, but I could make myself free if I am given enough notice. When caring for a client’s pet, safety is very important to me. Following the owner’s rules and ensuring your pet is cared for and loved while you are away is my number one priority :)
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and adopted my own dog at 10 years old. I’ve cared for puppies and seniors and love all of them. **I am a full-time college student so I have limited availability on weekdays and must be able to leave during the day if I am sitting. On weekends I typically have open availability to care for your pet :) There are two dogs in my home who enjoy roaming the backyard and are always going in and out of the doggy door. While my dogs do not go in crates, I can put your dog in their crate if you wish.
“You know when a person really LOVES animals when your dog loves him on sight! Larry is that person. And he takes every care with my Sara that I would, like when encountering traffic. I absolutely trust him, especially when Sara comes home with a huge smile on her face.”

About: I have had many pets of all kinds. I love them all. As well as my own pets I have experience with other animals from volunteering at the West Valley Animal shelter as well as pet sitting for family and friends. I am very passionate about animal welfare. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and just keeping them company. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind they’re in good hands. I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I love to hang out with my own pets and would love to hang out with yours too! I have two dogs, one cat, and two birds. The dogs and cat have access to a doggy/cat dog that leads to the back yard which is fenced in.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to everything I do. I'm an active person who genuinely loves spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on fun, engaging walks is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and believe every dog deserves individualized care. Whether that means sticking to their usual walking routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, or giving them extra patience and affection, I'll treat your dog as if they were my own. While I don't have professional dog training experience, I have cared for and trained my own puppy, which taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to a dog's unique personality and needs. I'm committed to providing a safe, reliable, and enjoyable experience so you can have peace of mind while your pup is in my care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my current routine. I have a flexible schedule and full availability throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to each dog I care for. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I look forward to every day. As I'm exploring my next career opportunity, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate different schedules, and give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's a daily walk or a last-minute booking, I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and making sure every dog has a safe, fun experience. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while respecting the routine they're used to. I know how important communication is, so I'll provide updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy and in good hands. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn't a side job—it's my full-time profession. As a professional dog trainer, I bring a deeper understanding of canine behavior, communication, and safety than the average sitter.

Because I train dogs full-time from my home, I'm able to seamlessly integrate every dog into my daily routine. Your dog won't spend hours alone waiting for me to get home from work. Instead, they'll receive consistent supervision, companionship, exercise, and individualized attention throughout the day. My home features a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under close supervision. At night, dogs sleep in my room with me, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and part of the family. As a professional trainer, I understand canine body language and behavior, allowing me to safely care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your dog is outgoing, shy, or requires extra patience, I'll tailor my care to help them feel safe and at home. My goal is to provide a structured, loving environment where your dog can enjoy their stay while giving you complete peace of mind. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. * 🐾 Full-time professional dog trainer with over 4 years of hands-on experience. * 🏡 Dogs are supervised throughout the day—I work from home full-time. * 🌳 Fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. * ❤️ Dogs are treated like family and sleep in my room, not in isolated kennels. * 👀 Experienced in reading canine body language and preventing conflicts before they happen. * 🦴 Structured daily routine with exercise, enrichment, play, and rest. * 🐕 Care is tailored to each dog's personality, age, energy level, and individual needs. * 📸 Frequent photo and video updates so you can stay connected during your dog's stay. * 🤝 Safety, trust, and clear communication are my highest priorities. * 🛡️ Calm, clean, and low-stress home environment designed to help dogs feel comfortable and secure.

About: I have always enjoyed being around animals ever since I was a little kid. I have owned and cared for rabbits, dogs, fish, turtles and parakeets.

“Danyale is so great with my dog! She walked my 65 pound dog for the first times this week. As I’m at work during the day, she lets me know when she is coming, when she arrives and leaves. She sends pictures and I can see how much our dog likes her! I’m so happy to have connected with her and highly recommend her.”

About: I have loved all types of animals from such a young age including reptiles and rodents so I have lots of experience with most pets. I am a college student but because of COVID I’m doing classes online which gives me all the time in the world to spend with your pets. My dogs pee on pee pads and are taken out on walks and to the park to have fun. They are allowed on the furniture including beds. We constantly are buying them new beds and toys and keep them groomed and healthy and up to date with vet check ups.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winnetka
Geena is super sweet and takes a tremendous amount of care with our fur babies. Her communication is great and we feel confident and comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. I also love that she’s so good with special needs dogs, as our big boy has mobility issues.

I couldn’t be happier with Sanaz’s service. She was very communicative and left detailed reports with lots of videos and photos of the pups. She was able to help out with a short turnaround, and was proactive to schedule a meet & greet beforehand too. Sanaz was calm and confident working with my reactive pups, and understood how to make them feel more comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were happy and comfy. Thank you, Sanaz!

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 Winnetka. 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 Winnetka.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
