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.
About: Animal and Pet Experience: I currently volunteer weekly at a cat shelter where I interact with and take care of a wide range of cats. I absolutely adore working there and have always been an animal lover! I've owned and taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, gerbils, and at one point in my adolescence, a toad. I love and am capable of taking care of a wide range of animals. All of the cats I grew up with had feline leukemia, leading them to require extra care and medication. I am known for being very gentle and patient, and will give your beloved pet lots of attention, care, and cuddles. :) Flexibility/Location/Hours: I am very flexible in terms of pricing, hours, location, and last-minute bookings or cancellations. I know how chaotic life can be and how valuable flexibility is, especially when it comes to the care of our pets. I am willing to negotiate, make adjustments as needed, and will prioritize the best and most stress-free experience for you and your pets. General Qualities: I am a very fast learner, rule-follower, and problem-solver, and will not hesitate to communicate or ask questions if I have them. I want nothing but the best possible experience for you, the owner, and your beloved pets, as I know how much value they bring to a household. I am always happy and quick to communicate if you have any questions or concerns. I promise your furry friend is in good hands! I am currently in the market for an animal-related job, and I am waiting to hear back from several dog kennels and pet stores. In the meantime, Rover is my priority for income and further animal experience. On Monday nights, from 6-8 pm, I typically have a prior commitment, but it can easily be adjusted or joined virtually. For now, animal care and pet-sitting are my number one priority. I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but I am very flexible in terms of location and hours to do what is best for your pet at your own home. I can provide additional treats and toys if allowed or preferred, and will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will follow the rules and schedule that are provided and will update you with any questions, concerns, or updates. My main priority is providing safe, stress-free, reliable care that is personalized for your household and pet to your standards and expectations.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I tailor walks, playtime, and care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventures, belly rubs, or a quiet companion, I provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a fun, loving experience filled with plenty of attention and affection. As a high school teacher, I have a reliable schedule and enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. During the school year, I am available after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. This flexibility allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home while you're away. With years of experience caring for animals, you can trust that your furry family member will receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and close supervision.
“Juliana is just great! Our dog loves her and is so excited for his walk every time he sees her. She takes extra special care of our dog and we couldn’t ask for anymore! Highly highly recommend Juliana for any dog owner and would give her higher than 5 stars if we could!”
“Heather is amazing! My pup was really hesitant about interacting with someone he didn’t know and Heather was so patient and gentle with him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Woodridge on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 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 .

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 Woodridge. 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 Woodridge.

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:
- 91% 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.
