Dog Walkers in Chatham, IL

“We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.”

“Saved me for a last minute week long need of walking. She kindly returned back to my home to let Alice out to pee a second time due to scheduling issues. Alice is always happy when I come home after her walks.”

“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”

“Laura was wonderful! I booked last minute and she was so helpful! As this being my first time using Rover I will be booking again & hopefully with Laura! Zeus enjoyed his time with her as well!”

About: I’ve been using Rover for the past two years and I absolutely love it! I love animals and this has got to be one of my favorite jobs. I grew up with two dogs and I’ve loved every second. The oldest is 14, so she’s been apart of my life for the majority! I’ve also dog sat for fellow neighbors and friends dogs. I also babysit! :) so feel free to reach out about that as well. I am currently enrolled at Purdue, but I am home for the summer! As of right now, I nanny every other week, so I’d love to use my free time wisely! In my hometown, I lived in a neighborhood by the country, so going on nature walks with my dogs was one of the best past times.

“Amanda Nerone is a pet lover extraordinaire! I never worry for even a second when she is caring for my dog/s. She does exactly what is asked, and then some. I’ve spoken to a few of her friends that have left their pets in her care and they say the same thing. She loves and cares for them as her own! I highly recommend Amanda to the Rover team. You will be so glad you asked her aboard!”

“Sarah was wonderful with our dogs! She took them for a long walk which they love. Oliver and Oreo really liked Sarah also. She was very patient and loving toward the dogs! Sarah has a great personality which is very much suited to dog walking/care!! Thank you, Sarah!”

“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of Aldo. She went out of her way to give him extra long walks and made sure he was well taken care of. I would absolutely hire her again.”

About: I’ve owned/taken care of animals since I was a child. I find great joy in the company of animals, making sure they are well taken care of, and teaching them new things. I have not done this professionally, however I have taken care of family/friends animals before. Experience: Cats: 17+ years Dogs: 10 years Ferrets: 4 years Reptiles: 3 years There are other various small animals I’ve taken care of sporadically but I’m always willing to learn more about any type of animal! I’m currently away from work, and will have a flexible schedule on weekdays, and certain times on Saturdays! I am currently available for drop ins, & walking services. I treat each, and every animal as one of my own. I am very conscious of how they are doing, and make sure they get the love, and respect they all deserve! Will provide plenty of pets, and playtime with your animals!

“Kristina is fantastic! Always takes great care of my dog whenever I can’t be there. I feel as though she treats my dog like her own and cares about her. It is clear she has a true love for animals.”

“Jeremy was a life saver…he was able to speed (no laws broken…maybe?!? LOL) to let my sweet pea out when I was stuck at work. He saved the day. If you need reliability Kari & Jeremy at gold standard.”

About: Hi!! I’m Jessie 🐾 I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life! But I really got into it while I got my Bacehlors of Science degree in Zoology at SIUC. I then worked at a dog boarding facility where we boarded dogs during the day and overnight, did baths, and doggie daycare. I of course always owned my own dogs and cats. I then worked at a Pet Hospital where I assisted in surgeries, drawing blood on cats and dogs, giving vaccines, giving medications via injections or orally. A lot of times at the dog boarding facilities we would train puppies during the day, and of course I’ve had many puppies of my own. I’m currently working full time. I do work remote (at home) Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I could take a fur baby out in the morning 6am-7am, 12:30-1pm, and 3:30pm-4:30pm. Weekends are open!! I can do late nights Tuesdays and Thursday as well. Message me and we could always discuss more in detail, I’m flexible!! I will care for every animal like it’s my own! So many kisses, hugs and snuggles!! I’ll treat your house with respect. With my animal handling experience and vet assistant knowledge your pets will always be safe with me!

“AJ is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to taking care of my dog, Hunter, and cat, Oliver. From the first time we met, I could feel their genuine love for animals, and it instantly put me at ease. AJ is not just a pet sitter, he’s become an extended part of our family. He always goes the extra mile, sending me updates and adorable photos, which always make my day. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who treats your fur babies with the same love and devotion as you do, AJ is your guy! I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of an exceptional pet caregiver.”

“Jenna is a great pet parent herself and is an animal lover in general. She cares for every animal that she meets and believes that the human-animal bond is very important. I would trust her with my own pets at any time.”

“Angelly takes care of my furbaby Snowball like it’s her own. She’s great about sending an update every day when housesitting and I can always count on her to be on time. 10/10 recommend!”

“Elisa is one of the kindest and sweetest people I know! She has always been an animal lover and has volunteered for shelters for years. Your pets are in phenomenal hands with her!”

“Casey was absolutely amazing. I have very high energy dogs. She sent pictures and updates. Her communication was just what I needed while away about the pups. Highly recommend!”

About: I trained service dogs for 2 years. I currently work as a zookeeper, where I care for a variety of animal species. I have pet sit for many friends and family members throughout the years. I also have my Bachelor’s degree of Zoology. My current weekend is Wednesday and Thursday, where I am free all day. I’m free mornings before 7:30am, lunch time, and evenings after 5pm Friday- Tuesday in between work. I have large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run. I have very friendly large lab mix named Jasper who loves to play.

About: Hi! I’ve lived in Chatham my whole life, but I’m new to Rover & would love to start taking care of more animals I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I got my first dog in 6th grade (he’s still with me almost 18 years later). I’ve dog sat for both friends and family many times. I’ve walked dogs since I was little too. I’ve got 3 of my own! Plus 3 cats. I’m a huge animal lover and have adopted all of mine from the shelters (except for my 17 year old Maltese). If I had enough money, I’d open an animal shelter of my own. I love to go on long walks and runs and always take my dogs with me. I work full time so nights and weekends are usually my availability right now. I work from home part of the week too so I can be flexible those days! I have a big fenced in yard with 3 dogs of my own. All of them are friendly but I can crate dogs if necessary.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life. I love all breeds big and small. I connect with animals and feel extremely passionate about caring for them. Being active with animals keeps me feeling young and healthy. Sometimes I believe we need them more than they need us. Day or night, I can help. I have a big yard, as well as an outdoor kennel. I also have a dog treadmill, which the pups seem to enjoy very much. I also have 2 dogs to keep your fur baby active and playful.
