About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with both large and small breeds. I’m home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide lots of attention, walks, and playtime. I’d love to meet your pup and make them feel right at home! I’m a full time dog mom currently so I’m home most of the time, aside from caring for my own dogs and occasional outings, so I’m very flexible and available almost any day. I absolutely love dogs and would be happy to spend time with yours whenever you need help! I live in a two story home with a fully fenced yard, perfect for playtime and safety. I have two dogs, a Siberian Husky and a Maltese, both neutered and up to date on rabies vaccines. They’re very friendly and love meeting other dogs! If your pup prefers quiet time, I can easily separate them into different rooms. Please feel free to text me with details about your dog. I’d love to get to know them!
“Trinity is wonderful….she endured a medical crisis with one of my senior dogs & handled my dog and the situation with complete compassion and competence ….and I truly appreciate that!!!! She is reliable and caring.”
About: I have taken care of animals since i was a child! I personally had 4+ dogs/cats at a time growing up since I was 5 years old and even now! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and night, which allows me to give consistent attention and supervision. I only step out briefly for school drop-off/pick-up or short errands, typically no more than a few hours total. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches and will be treated like part of our daily routine, with regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on 2 fully fenced acres, providing plenty of secure space to run and explore while always supervised. When indoors, pets are part of our family environment — relaxing, playing, or cuddling in a calm and clean home. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and at ease. My goal is to create a structured but loving environment where your pup feels right at home.
“Wendy has been a great help to our household and great with our dog Bailey! She was willing to do a little meet and greet with her beforehand which was important for us! Bailey took to her right away and I know she loves her walks!”
“Chelsea is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker. She is reliable, consistently communicative, and great with our dogs and cats. Unfortunately, she was taking care of our dogs during a very rainy week, but she did a great job drying them off and making sure they got out there (even if they didn’t want to go out!). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”
“Wonderful sitter! Would highly recommend. She was personable, responsive, and took great care of my babies. She also took care of my plants on short notice. Will definitely rebook her again and would recommend for all of your dog sitting needs.”
“Jennifer was by far more than a dog walker. She is a member of our ‘pack’. In the short time she was continuously walking our dogs, she taught them (and us) how to be better behaved dogs and how we can continue that behavior. We will be using her services in the future and I wish she was moving with us to our new home! I can’t thank her enough for all she’s done for our pack!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since a very early age. I started pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and i’ve loved watching and playing with other dogs ever since! I currently do pet sitting full time, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m normally there with the pets most of the day that way they are fully comfortable, and are still following their schedule! I make sure to follow all the instructions, so the pet isn’t off of its schedule. I really try to spend the first few days getting close with the pets, that way they feel totally comfortable with me!
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been part of my life every day, not just a job. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, routines, and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, providing loving, attentive care. i’m currently doing school remotely so i am available any time needed. Afternoon time is ideally best, i can do mornings if you let me know in advance. I provide attentive, in-home pet care tailored to each animal’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter or waste cleanup, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and regular updates to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind
“Dawn was great with our daisy this past weekend we were able to go on vacation without any worries we got pictures each time dawn visted , 5 stars and we will be using her again for sure !”
“Ella did a great job walking both our dogs while we were away for vacation. We received pictures daily that assured us our pups were not just being walked but also loved on.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for rabbits, birds, and reptiles, including my bearded dragon, who I’ve owned and cared for for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. I have also raised 3 children over the last 22 years. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care depending on your needs. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and also have experience with rabbits, birds, and my bearded dragon of over 10 years. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home as if it were my own, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets, administering basic medications, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs.
“Saffron did amazing! She sent photos with each check-in and even made me aware of some possible health issues that should be brought to my vets attention. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve had golden retrievers ever since I can remember I am experiencing in giving daily insulin shots as well as I had a diabetic golden. I’m currently retired and looking for something to do that is meaningful to me. I find as I get older I like a lot of animals more than people. I have a fenced backyard and a screened in porch with animal doors into the house and yard. Live an older neighborhood with big yard.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wood Oak Park
Alix did a great job with my pups! They really enjoyed their walk and were able to get some energy out while I’m gone at work for long hours. She even offered to feed them and my cats while I wasn’t home to do so. She sent me pictures of their walk afterward and they looked like they had the best time! Overall fantastic job!! Would definitely recommend and rebook!
Isabella was gracious to come and walk my 11 month old standard Yorkie while I convalesce from sciatic nerve pain. She was certainly very courteous, friendly and showed that she cared, protected and wanted to be with my baby. What I particularly enjoyed was that she was always punctual. I would recommend Isabella if you are looking a young lady who is gracious, caring and a kind pet walker. I will ask Isabella to definitely consider returning.

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 Wood Oak Park. 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 Wood Oak Park.

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 Wood Oak Park. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
