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.

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.
“Destiny was fabulous. She took a bunch of pics of the little guy, which was such a relief having to be at work. She eased my anxiety by keeping me updated throughout the visit”
“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.”
“Anna walked our dog several times a week over 3 weeks in January while my spouse was out of town and I at work. She was always right on time and took great care of our little girl - putting her jacket on (frigid cold weather they both endured!), wiping her paws, giving her treats - and always ensured the house was secure when she left. I'm so happy that I have a go-to person we can count on! Thanks Anna!!”
“Charlotte took my little Shih Tzu on a walk this weekend and did a FANTASTIC job. She was super patient with my dog and really listened to my dog's cues. Charlotte is absolutely amazing with animals. There's no one I would trust more than Charlotte with my dog. I hope and plan to use her in the future when I'm in Chicago visiting my mother-in-law. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! We’re a couple who genuinely love dogs. We’ve also spent plenty of time looking after our family members’ pets, so we know how much they become part of the family. We both work in healthcare, so we’re used to being patient, responsible, and paying attention to the little things. We know every dog has their own personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. We’re excited to meet some new furry friends, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs, or just keeping them company. 🐶❤️ We both work full-time in a hospital, so our schedules vary, but we’re upfront about our availability and only accept bookings we can commit to. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! We live in a clean, cozy first-floor apartment with a safe and welcoming environment for pets. We’ll keep a close eye on your fur baby, follow their routine, and give them plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime. ❤️

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.
