About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m choosing to offer pet sitting as a source of income, but it’s also something I genuinely love doing. I travel fairly often, so having a dog of my own isn’t the right fit for me right now. Spending time with other people’s dogs brings me a lot of joy, and I’ll give yours the affection, attention, and care they deserve.❤️ My schedule is flexible, so I can make time for walks, playtime, and keeping your pet company. I do travel occasionally, but I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings when I can give your pet the attention they need. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, and care. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.
“Madison did a great job walking a Bubi ❤️🤗 it wasn’t hard for her to walk her additional 30 minutes in order to fulfill our kind request ! Outstanding job !❤️🩷 Thanks very much”
“Thank you Sarah for your excellent help/meeting with Annie. Clearly she was drawn to you and calmly. That says a lot. Dogs have that incredible sense about people. I am confident Annie is in good hands. Sue”
About: The experience I've gained from both my own furry friends, and those that I've taken care of has given me a unique perspective and love for animals and their well being. Not only do I take pride in my care for each pet's specific needs, but I simply hold such a deep love and care for animals and their happiness. Knowing when I go out of town or am away from my dog that he is receiving top tier care is of upmost importance to me, and I can't wait to provide the same for others. I'm home from college for the summer and have a lot of time on my hands, on top of my current summer job, and would like to spend my time helping others and making dogs more comfortable and happy when their owners are unable to provide that care. I walk my 11 year old German Shepherd 2 times a day, and care for him with additional attention towards his medication, vet appointments, and outdoor time. I spend much of my day invested in his happiness and overall well being as part of my daily routine, so I am very attentive towards animal's specific needs.
“Glen was available very last minute to walk our pup. He responded quickly to messages, came at the right time, and sent a photo and an update after the walk. I’d recommend Glen and would book again!”
About: I love taking dogs for walks and runs, followed by hours of spoiling. I never had a pet growing up so I lived vicariously through being able to take care of other family and friends’ pets. I now consider it a privilege to be able to play with, snuggle, and care for your pet. I am a full-time working professional who typically works in the office 2-3 days a week with flexibility. I am also available evenings and weekends. I enjoy playing and cuddling with dogs for hours on end. I am diligent, reliable, and trustworthy and will provide the best possible care and support for your pet. It’s simply an added bonus if your dog enjoys long walks and/or runs.
“Christian takes care of both my anxious, elderly dog and my young, shy cat and is great with both. He will go above and beyond to take care of my pets, he’s always reliable and timely, and both of my a kiddish pets love him. I highly recommend hiring him!”
“Mindi was an absolute dream. She took my dogs on a mile-long walk and sent several pictures. She was great about communicating with me and made me feel TOTALLY at ease. She came over ahead of time to meet me and my crew and was kind and caring. Thank you Mindi.”
About: Hi, I'm Sayuj. As a lifelong animal lover, my home has always been filled with paws. After recently saying goodbye to my own sweet dogs, the house has felt incredibly empty. I deeply miss the companionship, the daily routines, and the pure joy a dog brings to a home. Opening my doors to your furry family members is a way for me to keep that passion for pet care alive, and I promise to treat your dog exactly like they were my own. Over the years, I've gained a wealth of hands-on experience. I lovingly cared for my Beagle for over 8 years, as well as a beautiful Beagle/Border Collie mix for 6 years. When I first got my dog, Rocky, he wasn't good with people, but I trained him from the ground up to help him become comfortable and trust them. Later, even when he had IVDD, I retaught him how to walk, so I know exactly what it's like working with a dog that needs deep attentiveness. I've also regularly dog-sat for large, energetic breeds, including German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Laboradors, and more! Currently, I run my own business and am actively searching for my next full-time role. This means I work from home right here in Woodridge and have a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to your pets. Because my home is currently pet-free, it offers a calm, safe environment where your dog will get my absolute undivided attention for boarding. I am also more than happy to house-sit at your place or drop in for visits. I would love nothing more than to shower your dog with the exact same level of devotion, patience, and love I gave my own. I have a very flexible schedule and willing to devote all my time at any given moment to your pet's wants and needs. My daily routine is quite open so I can house sit or drop in to walk the dog, feed them, etc. I am diligent in making sure I follow all the owner's instructions in taking care of their dog. All dogs are different and are used to different things. That's why I want to make them feel at home and treat them as if their owners do. As a lifelong dog owner, I am used to keeping the home "dog-proof" and understand what is dangerous/can be dangerous for a dog and what isn't.
“Tess was INCREDIBLE! I felt nervous about leaving my pup for the weekend but she couldn’t have been in better hands! Tess was a great communicator, sent me lots of pictures and took such good care of my girl. I would absolutely trust Tess with my pet any time I need a sitter!”
“Always a great experience with Erin! She is quick to respond, eager to help, and so thoughtful. Our greyhound Happy loves seeing Erin and we couldn't be happier ourselves. I can confidently recommend Erin. We will definitely be utilizing her help in the future.”
About: I moved from Houston Texas to attend Columbia College Chicago. I am majoring in cinematography and minoring in photography. I have had dogs my entire life, and sadly I recently lost two of my dog sisters Rosie (Labrador age 13 years) and Lucy (Yorkshire Terrier age 15 years). Currently I have a Boston Terrier and Shih Tzu mix named Cody and am aunt to a dachshund named Norman at home with my parents in Texas. I miss hanging out with my best friends, they love car rides and playing catch! I love seeing animals on my long morning walks, to the park, and the beach. I would love to have your dogs come with me! I love animals and will care and love them, just as much as they love and care for us. I’m currently on hold for work because of the writers strike, so I’m all yours! Looking to spend as much time I can with animals With love and respect, them someone how you want to be treated. Clean up if there is a spill or mess, make sure the client is happy
“Mei Li walked my dog, Sadie, for 30 minutes around our neighborhood. Sadie can pull on the leash and sometimes eat things off the ground, but Mei Li did a great job making sure Sadie was on her best behavior and didn’t get into anything she shouldn’t have. Sadie came back tired from a long walk, and was happy to interact with Mei Li before she left. Sadie will definitely be asking for Mei Li to take her on more walks!”
About: I was the primary caretaker for my beloved West Highland Terrier Piper during her senior years until she passed at 17, this included giving medications and providing dynamic enrichment to help her doggie mind and body. I want to do the same for your precious pet! I am a remote student and part time babysitter, I am unable to have my own dog at the moment so I am always looking for a furry friend to spend study breaks and free time with! Strangers can be scary, so I will always engage with your pets to their comfort level and build trust at safe and respectful pace. This safe and respectful attitude also extends to any other pets in the home, and the space itself.
About: I have watched both dogs and cats for as long as two weeks at a time. I pay attention to any and all details clients provide. I will send as many pictures/updates as requested! I’m here to ease your mind while you’re enjoying time away from home. I am completely open on weekends! During the week is more limited but please submit a request and I’d love to discuss your pets needs. In my clients home I follow instruction closely. I understand each animal has specific needs. I will make them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Woodridge is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,603 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Woodridge. 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 Woodridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Woodridge after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Woodridge. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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.
