“Robert has been walking Lucy daily and would definitely recommend him! Really thankful to have Robert taking care of my dog, especially during the summer in the heat. Robert is an excellent communicator and very thoughtful person.”

“Andrea was great meeting both my pups for the first time! She asked questions about needs and anything important that would be helpful for walks or interactions with other animals/people. Introducing new people to a household can be stressful sometimes on pets, and my older pet can get protective. However, Andrea was super patient and understanding when it came to my slow introduction process. I appreciate her time and love for pets!”

“Eddie did an amazing job with our dog this week! He’s a fast walker so our boy got a bit more distance which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our dog immediately liked him!”

“Chris was great! My dog Woody was very happy with his experience and so was I. Communication was easy, and he made sure to give my dog lots of love and attention. Thanks Chris!”
“Parisa is amazing! She is super thorough and makes sure she gets all the details down and follows all directions you give her! She stayed even longer with my dog to make sure she was taken care of. She’s super kind and trustworthy!! Will be using her in the future for all dog walking needs!”

“great communications, right on time, dogs were happy and felt good to go with Walter, who has a very calm energy. Will hire again if we are back in Chicago.”


“Alison was great! We have a dog going through cancer treatment and he needs a bit of extra attention. Alison came over for the meet and greet and I could just tell she was a dog person. She was on time and sent pictures. I would absolutely book her again when Murphy needs a walk.”
About: Hey! My name is Sara. Thanks for considering my profile. Here’s a little about me: I’m a 33 year old single mom of two, and full time student at DePaul. I’m also a US Army Veteran, and as someone who’s always had a dog (or three), I love dogs. I have experience around a variety of breeds, from pit bulls to chihuahuas. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, and I’m comfortable around dogs that require special attention due to illnesses and old age. I’m comfortable watching more than one dog in your home at a time, as well as bathing them while I’m there, if requested. I hope to hear from you soon! I can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I’m a student so when I’m not in class I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m all about flexibility and finding ways to meet your needs in a way that works with both our schedules! I am a renter so at this time I’m not offering pet sitting in my home. I’m more than happy to care for pets in your home and follow whatever instructions you may have for them

“Had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Lilana. I was a little anxious to use the service, but Liliana has been a delight and very communicative. Will be booking her services again.”

About: Recently, a friend introduced me to her pet who she'd warned barks like crazy and often scares people. When I arrived, she got her barks out within a minute or two. My friend said she was being so good with me. I have a calm energy that animals seem to feel at peace around, so a your pet should feel right at ease with me when we meet for the first time. Can't wait to walk your precious angel! I work remotely, full time. I'd love to take dogs on walks during my work day or work from home at your residence while you are out of town and need someone to watch your baby! I do not have any pets of my own, but was recently approved to foster so I'm excited for that to change! Even when I do foster, I won't be bringing fosters around any pets I'm walking as this is the policy of where I foster. I'm a very neat person, and if I'm spending time in your home, I try to leave the space feeling like I was never there!

“Absolutely amazing! It is always scary leaving town knowing you have a reactive pup waiting for you at home. Tiffani was great, communicative and flexible. I definitely feel more at ease now for work travel knowing someone is in Piper’s corner.”

About: Hi! I’m Hannah. I recently moved to the Chicago area with my own two pets, a couple of lively cats named Bunny and Bear. They’re my best friends, and I know that I wouldn’t trust them with just anyone. I hope to be that trusted person for you and your pets! I know how sacred that bond is, and will do my best to give them as much love and care as you do. I am happy to administer medications, clean up accidents, prepare complicated meals, take on walks, and give them tons of playtime. Just let me know what will make your pet feel most secure, and I’m happy to help! I currently work as a barista, so my schedule is always changing, and I’m always able to make those changes myself. I’d love nothing more than to start and/or end my days giving your pets some much-deserved love and attention! I am happy to do anything to make your pets feel comfortable! My own cats love to play, and I could probably spend hours throwing a toy around or giving them booty scratches. I am also down to administer medications or prepare complicated food to fit your pets’ needs.
About: Hello Albany Park (and surrounding) neighbors! I’m the go-to sitter for my friends and family, and I’m excited to offer that same reliable, loving care to your pets. I'm a pet parent to two cats and a dog, so I’m no stranger to different personalities, routines, and quirks. I have experience with senior pets, shy animals, and giving medications. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or structured care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to offer consistent care throughout the day—whether that’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening feedings. Weekends are usually wide open too! I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get the attention and routine they’re used to. As a pet parent myself who’s had sitters in my home, I know how important it is to feel that your pet—and your space—are in good hands. I’m respectful, attentive, and follow your routines closely to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll always get updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Barbara was very attentive and punctual. She walked, fed and cuddled with Zelda during their time together. Would l highly recommend and can’t wait for the next time.”

She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals—you can tell from the way she takes her time to play, snuggle, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I always come home to two very content cats and a spotless space. It’s such a relief to know my pets are in such good hands while I’m away. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like they’re her own, Hannah’s your girl!”
Elena G.
“Ellie is an exceptionally caring, reliable, and friendly cat sitter! She has cat sat for my cat Jazz many times and has always done a great job. My cat is 14 years old and is kind of particular and Ellie has been able to make sure she gets all the attention, play, and food she needs. I would recommend her to cat sit for anyone and everyone, she is one of a kind and you can definitely rely on her!”

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Albany Park.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
