About: I’ve worked at my local animal shelter for the past three summers as well as interning at a couple of vet clinics. Im currently working at a clinic in Carpentersville! I’m confident in reading animal cues and providing based on pets’ needs. I have a great passion for taking care of animals, especially those that you hold near and dear. I’m currently home for a gap year and fitting in Rover during my free weekends. I am flexible and will do everything I can to adjust to your preferred schedule! I prioritize your individual pets’ needs. Care will be completed in a timely manner, respectfully, and with utmost care towards your pet. Feel free to send instructions or details about your pet so I can best provide for them!
“Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.”
“Merry Christmas to you, Kathleen and John! Thank you for taking care of Pixie for Amanda! We appreciate your help! Many Blessings to you and yours in the New Year!!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was small. This kept me active as a volunteer in animal shelters throughout high school, in addition to being a reliable sitter for my family and friends’ fur babies. I would love to go on walks and give lots of love to your furry friend(s) whenever you need! Please check my availability through my calendar! I update it consistently. I am full time studying at home postgrad, so I have a very flexible schedule! I will be diligent in keeping your dog safe by walking with a leash and always keeping a close eye on them. I have no other pets at home and am graduated, so your pet will get my full attention.
About: Hi there! I’m Shaifali — a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two friendly pups, Lali and Phoebe. 🐾 I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. As a full-time nurse who works nights, I’m available during the day and have a flexible schedule to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. What I offer: • Lots of love, cuddles, and playtime • Safe, fun walks (I love going on long walks and exploring nature trails!) • Experience with administering medications • Knowledge of special diets and health needs (my own dog is on a GI-friendly diet, so I understand how important it is to follow food schedules carefully) Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in good hands. Let’s set up your pup’s next walk or playdate — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶💛 I currently work full time as a nurse on night shift. I have a lot of flexibility in the day to watch dogs due to working at night! I have 2 friendly dogs Lali and Phoebe in my home. Dogs are leashed at all times when outside. If you have a special diet for your pet please let me know as well as a food schedule! I understand special dietary needs for pets. My dog Phoebe herself is on a low fat GI diet due to chronic pancreatitis.

About: As a dedicated pet parent for over 10 years, I know that your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. My world revolves around my own dog; from planning my daily schedule to ensure she’s active and happy, to traveling the country together, she is my top priority. Now, I’d love to bring that same level of devotion to your furry friend! Whether it's ensuring they get plenty of exercise or just providing some extra love while you're away, I'll treat your pup with the same 'number one' status I give my own. I can't wait to meet your adventure buddy! Because I am currently home full-time, pet care is my primary focus throughout the day. My schedule is exceptionally flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific needs—whether that’s mid-day walks, consistent potty breaks, or providing companionship for dogs with separation anxiety. Your pet won’t be fitting into a 'gap' in my day; they will be the center of my routine. I provide personalized care by tailoring my approach to each pet’s unique life stage and energy level. When visiting a client’s home, I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise routines to minimize stress. Whether it’s providing high-energy play for a puppy or gentle companionship and medication for a senior, I adapt my care style to ensure they feel secure and loved in any setting.

“Absolutely great! I work a lot and I can’t express how grateful I am for Victoria! She helps me out soooo much and I feel very blessed that she looks after pup when I’m at the office.”
About: I am an animal lover, through and through. Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds… you name it. I treat my guest animals like my own and love on them as much as possible. I enjoy taking cute portraits of the pets in my care and I send lots of photos and written updates. I currently have a female Aussie/Pit mix, currently fostering a female Blue Doberman, and have had Doberman Pinschers in the past from puppies through old age until the rainbow bridge. I’m patient with puppies and elderly animals. I check to see which commands they know and how they have been trained to keep them consistent in my care, and have experience administering medications to them. Before joining Rover, I frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently fully remote and based at home. I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. My schedule may change in the future but I will update my info when that happens. I have one female 7 year old Aussie/Pit Mix and occasionally foster Dobermans through Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus. I have a spare bedroom to host guest animals with any bedding and belongings but during the day they are with me, within line of sight in my home. My yard is fenced (4ft) and only two steps to the yard from the door. There are no children living in my home. I live is a quiet neighborhood and can go for walks as needed.

Whether your pup needs extra patience, a specific routine, or just a cozy companion, I’m always happy to accommodate 🙂 I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule and have ample room for your dog to play. If you prefer to have your pup in their crate, please kindly let me know as I make my home, their home as well. I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, I focus on consistency, respect, and attentive routines that help animals feel comfortable. I also have a fenced yard for dogs to play freely.

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.
