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. I work full time as an educator so most of the year I am only available weekends. However I am currently available during weekdays due to spring break. I would be happy to care for your pet in my home or at your home if that is your preference. I have one dog at home which would be kept in a different area.

I triple check everything is the way it should be prior to heading out the door to ensure the comfort and safety of my clients pet.

About: So many friends and neighbors wanted me to take care of their dogs when i was just a kid cause they knew that i can understand their language. I was taking care of dogs and cats just as a hobby only for people i knew, but decided i can help more pet owners and make everyone’s life easier!! I have experiences with puppies and senior care. You will be receiving really nice photos of your pups🐶 I am at home 24/7 if needed no problem with that, home is fun with a furry baby we can watch movies and cuddle!!! I know that all doggies need different care. I am very good at potty training and obedience training. I also have first aid training🤍 Please read the following before booking either of these services: Day Care means: Between 0-10 hours Boarding means: Between 10-24 hours All of the pets i take care, they are my babies too!! They are all welcome for hugs and most importantly LOVE! For summer period i am free every day and i can start working really early if my client needs. I don’t like to go for walks so late for me and my client’s safety. I have a nice fenced backyard; we mostly play there and hangout i don’t let them out unsupervised. I only walk with leash, sometimes dogs see rabbits or squirrels and chase after them. We don’t want anyone to get hurt or scared 🫶🏻

About: After working at several high quality pet supply companies, I know a great deal about pet nutrition and pet care. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with large dogs, we always had/have German Shepherds, and small dogs, as well as cats. I can take care of seniors, adults, and puppy’s; I have experiencing administering pills, and putting additives into the pets food. I can bring my lifelong pet ownership experience into caring for your lovely pet. I love learning new things about different breeds and different personalities. No pet, like no person, is the same nor should they be treated the same. I am excited to get to know your pet and their unique way of living life! I’ve just moved back to LA from spending 6 years in the United Kingdom, so your pet will be my full focus as I’m not otherwise employed currently. I take care of your pet(s) as if they are my own. I take any special requests seriously and have clients who have used me for years and trust me in their homes. I understand how serious that is, and take respect to the highest level, paring that with safety.

About: I've been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. I have had dogs growing up, taking care of them and taking care of my friends' or neighbors' dogs when they needed it. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I've gotten extra pet experience from there. I'm currently on summer break, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pups and ensure they are doing okay. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. Just please let me know 3 days in advance. :) I will maintain the pet's usual schedule for feeding, exercise, and medication. Provide regular updates to the client, keep the pet's living area clean, and respect the client's home and rules. As for boarding, I have a fenced backyard and a front yard. I have two pets of my own, so please let me know how they are with other dogs, as I want to provide a safe environment for all.

About: As a mom who knows exactly what it takes to keep a household running and everyone cared for, I bring that same nurturing, attentive energy to your pets. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or some extra patient TLC, I’ll treat them like a member of my own family. Safe, dependable, and always ready with extra belly rubs!​ I'm currently available after 6pm Monday thru Friday and anytime on Saturday or Sunday. If there is a special time you need I can try to accommodate. I listen to your pets queues to see what their need is and your instructions as their parent. Along with belly rubs and scratches behind ears 😀

About: My family has owned dogs and cats my entire life. I don’t think there has been a single day in my life where I didn’t own a pet or have responsibility for one. Including the Marines under my charge. Animals. Seriously, though… Pets love me. I am also a firm believer in following instructions to a T. People are often surprised when I ask to meet their dog, they tell me that the dog is skittish or afraid, and then the dog walks slowly up to me like they’ve known me forever and then we’re best friends. I feed my two cats, Chief and Cosmos, daily at 8am and 8pm. Cosmos requires special dietary food, so my wife and I bought chip-specific feeders for each cat. I also make sure they stay physical with my fishing rod toys, as well as ensure clean facilities for the… you know. It all comes down to showing them love, providing for them, and protecting them. I treat my two cats like they were my own kids. We don’t deserve their love if we can’t give it to them. It’s inhumane.

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: Hi! My name is Fabian. I have a Masters degree from Pepperdine University. I work from home as an Emergency Case Manager. My past experience includes working with children ages 1- 17 years old- from conducting medical research at UCLA Medical Center, teaching English in China, and as a residential counselor for a mental health facility. I also have experience caring for my two family dogs- a chihuahua and a maltipoo. I am located in the San Fernando Valley, but I’m willing to travel further to do pet/ house sitting. Thank you for considering me, hope to hear from you soon! :) I work from home, and my schedule is very flexible, so there won’t be any issues coordinating walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. For longer stays, I can simply bring my laptop and portable Wi-Fi, allowing me to remain fully available while continuing to work remotely. I currently work for a government agency and have passed extensive background checks, so you can rest assured that your pets and home will be in the care of a trustworthy and responsible adult.

Mario was fantastic with Luna! He’s very communicative, responsible, takes tons of photos and give updates frequently. I needed someone to help me with walking Luna while I was at work and despite her being a handful, he was incredibly kind, patient, and undaunted by the task. I highly recommend him if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies.

About: What sets me apart is the love and patience I have for animals. I personally raised my sweet dog since she was just one month old, so I understand how to care for young puppies with tenderness and responsibility. I may not have formal experience, but I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, respect, and attention. I truly feel a connection with animals and enjoy making them feel safe and happy. I’ve also helped care for pets of family and friends, and I always do my best to make them feel loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care during the mornings and some afternoons or evenings. I enjoy being active, so going on walks or playing with dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m very responsible with time, and I love spending quiet moments giving attention, cuddles, or just making pets feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I give them fresh water, food, walks, and lots of attention — always with love and patience. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, and I keep everything clean and organized. I also take time to connect with the pet, understand their behavior, and make them feel safe while their owner is away. I truly believe animals feel our energy, so I always bring calm, kindness, and warmth to their space. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my own dog.

About: I have owned pets most of my life. I understand that every animal is different, so I’d love to take the time to get to know your pet. I have no doubt we will bond! I’m currently in-between jobs. I typically work remotely, so I’m pretty flexible. I’d love to have regulars when I can bond with your animals. ❤️ In my own home, my dogs are a bit spoiled. They’re older, so I want them to be as comfortable as possible. They never worry about food, water, walks, play time, and love! I’d be the same with your animals!

About: Loving dogs is my biggest passion in life, so for the last 20 years I've dedicated myself to being a fantastic dog mom, foster mom, and care provider to my clients and their beloved dogs. From 3 lb chihuahuas to 160 lb mastiffs, I will provide the most loving and compassionate care to your furry best friend. Whether your dog likes to walk the neighborhood, or utilize a sling or stroller, we'll hit the town and get those noses sniffing and brains working. I can handle meals (including hand feeding), medications, and potty needs without issue. And I love to come up with new enrichment activities to keep your bestie's brain in tip-top shape. My specialty is Senior and Special needs pups who need a little (or a lot) of TLC, be that help with mobility, feeding, or medication. I'm experienced with dogs who have seizures, diabetes, kidney disease, neurological disorders, and mobility needs. And I love them all the more for it! I can assure you I will care for your baby as though they are my own. I am a full-time pet caregiver, so your pet is my number one priority. I am responsible and trustworthy, so you never need to worry about missed potty breaks, or late medications. My own dog gets three dedicated walks a day plus play time and enrichment activities. I offer the same dedication to your loved one. I am with your fur-baby the entire time they are entrusted to my care. For home visits to your home, I utilize the time to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. From walks to potty breaks, a treat (if allowed), and an enrichment activity, to making sure their paws and privates are clean, and their bowl is filled with fresh water, I want your pet to look forward to my visit! And if your pup does daycare or boards with me they will be treated like family I keep your friend on YOUR schedule as to not disrupt their desire for routine, but they will get numerous walks, trips to the park (on-leash only), enrichment activities like puzzles, and are most definitely allowed on the furniture (unless you'd prefer them not to be.) Coming to my home should feel like going to camp, and coming home with lots of fun stories to share with you.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Winnetka

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Winnetka on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 16,766 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Winnetka. 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 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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Winnetka. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
