Dog Walking Ament Corners

“Carol is truly the best. She takes wonderful care of my mom’s dog, but what sets her apart is the kindness and patience she shows my elderly mother. Knowing she’s there gives our whole family such peace of mind. We’re grateful to have her.”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Growing up, we mainly had cats and dogs, but in recent years we have expanded to fish, birds, and frogs! At the moment, my family has 2 cats, 2 parakeets, and about a million fish. I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors as a kid, and now I try to pet sit whenever I am home from college. I am also the primary care taker of my little home zoo. I’m currently home for the summer, and I have really flexible hours! I have several vacations planned for the summer, so I do not currently have a job lined up, which means more time to play with your pets! I am currently not able to care for your pets in my home as my cats are not very accepting of new animals. At your home, I will work with you to learn what is best for your pets! If you have a fenced in yard, that’s great! If not, no worries.

About: I’m a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I provide patient, loving, and attentive care, always treating each dog like my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work full time from home five days a week, which allows me to give your dog consistent attention throughout the day. Your pet will be cared for in a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away, with plenty of companionship and comfort. I have a have back yard, it is unfenced so your dog will be walked when they go outside and I have one 14-year old black lab.

About: I am currently a cat mom of 3. Chloe, Colby, and Clarabelle. I have had 20+ years experience with cats, dogs, and other small animals. I have grown up with animals my whole life including cats, dogs, rabbits, and other small animals. I'm currently a teacher working remotely and during my breaks before and after classes I would love to care for your pets. I'm available to do check ins and walks. I would also consider doing an overnight depending on my availability. I will provide updates and photos when requested by the owner and will provide quality care to your pet while you are away. Please consider contacting me if you are in need of someone to look after your pet. I would love to meet your furry family members.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life from big dogs to small. I love walking my own dogs in forest preserves and I have dog-sat my neighbor’s dog before. I also worked at a pet store for a few months. I’m currently in school and have a part time job, but my mornings during the weekdays from 6 am to 11am are free to walk your dogs. I currently don’t offer pet care in my home, but I’m happy to travel to you. I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while in their own home. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also send updates and photos so you know they’re doing great while you’re away.

“Shelly is awesome! She is considerate, kind and my dog loves her. He looks forward to her coming for his walk. Shelly works with you if you need to make adjusts. I would highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed”

About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( Currently, I am seeking full-time work in my field of behavioral therapy. I am in the early stages of hire at an elementary school in Minooka, so I will be manually updating my Rover schedule to provide some availability Monday through Friday, with 4:00pm at the earliest. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or drop-in visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life; big medium small. I have always been able to create connections with furry friends by giving them lots of love and attention. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.

“Justin was a life saver for us on Christmas Eve!! This was our first experience with Rover and Justin and we will definitely use him again.”

About: I grew up around dogs as my grandma was a verified trainer and breeder. I’ve been around all sizes of dogs ranging from German Shepards to Corgis. I had my own dogs growing up that were professionally trained. While I no longer have my own dog, I am around one constantly and have always had a love for them. I do work the weekends at a restaurant so later at nights but during the weekdays, I am almost always free and in town. I am a night owl but do wake up very easily in the mornings. I plan to follow and abide by any rules or boundaries that the owner sets for their home. I will not able to house any dogs at my own house but will make sure that any doors or yards are locked.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals! Currently have 3 loving and friendly dog along with 1 cat! They love when friends come over and they have someone to play with! We go on walks, love to be outside in our fenced in our back yard and snuggling up on the couch! My fur babies and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I do have 3 children so being good around kids for stays with me is a must! Thank you! I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I will be home with your pets all day long! We like to spend a lot of the day out in the fenced in backyard, and getting cozy on the couch afterwards for a nap! We have a monthly bark box subscription, so we have plenty of toys to play with! I have a big fenced in yard, and sweet dogs, eager to meet some new friends to play with! We do not have crates at my home, but always welcome to stay consistent with your preference of crate training if necessary!

“Caryn came by for the meet and greet and to understand our Pet’s routine. We have now used her twice and I greatly enjoy the pup reports and photos we get. Would recommend.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!

About: My family has been part of Rover for 10 years and have gained a network of regular animals. I have taken care of many types and breeds of animals including my own family pets. I've had 3 dogs, 3 cats, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, and fish so I can handle most animals. Overall, I am pretty open on weekdays after 11:00 am and can do overnight stays as well. I am available all day on weekends as well. I am in an apartment that does not allow pets so I am looking to have time with animals through Rover. I miss my animals back home since I am away at college so I would never put an animal in danger since I know how important a pet can be to someones life.

About: I’ve helped taken care of our family dog for over 10 years & friends always rely on me to help with their pets as well! I have experience working at a shelter and a doggy daycare! I’m currently I’m working on becoming a CVT but I am not enrolled in any classes until the fall. I am looking for a full time job but for now plan to take on Rover full time! Any chance I get to spend time with animals count me in! Anything to make you & your fur baby/babies feel safe! I am trustworthy & reliant, i am constantly around dogs and know how to care for them. I promise they will be in good, loving & caring hands!

About: I grew up in a home always having at least 2 pups running around & have always enjoyed being around animals. While I have always helped out with our own animals ever since I was little, I have been house sitting/pet sitting for others since I was 10! I also have experience with a wide age range, from puppies to senior pups. I have a few families I regularly dog-sit consistently that I’ve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my “dog family” & love on your pup while you’re away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm and Fridays after 1pm. I have full availability on weekends for all the cuddles, walks & fetch games we can fit in! I have a cat - Luna - who is the sweetest ball of fluff you will ever meet, however, she is very anxious and shy. While she does very well with other cats, she doesn’t do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.

“Shannon has been wonderful with our Reese! Her willingness to spend time with our fur baby is much appreciated.”

About: I’ve taken care of mostly dogs and a few cats since I was 13. I used to work at a doggy day care and loved my job ! My neighbors and family rely on me to take care and walk their dogs. I have actually boarded, walked, and taken care of two dogs for my neighbor when they went on a two year vacation. I am in college now at Illinois state and currently just adopted my own dog ! I currently only work part time 3 days a week! So my availability is very flexible. I am open to walk, pet sit, or play with your pup anytime that would work for you ! I am a very loving and friendly sitter & walker ! I have a heart for dogs and would love to care for and love your pup when you can’t be around ! If wanted, I have a playful 1 year old puppy if your dog wants a friend to run around with and get all their energy out ! Also, I usually take my pup to the forest preserve everyday for around a mile walk, and would love to bring your pup along or take them on a separate hike.

About: I have work experience in kennel and farm animal as well! I have been fostering pets since 2015 and am in undergrad for Veterinary Medicine. Pet care is usually always a responsibility 4-5 times a week when I am working. With my free time it can be my responsibility whenever. I provide care by creating a fun experience for the pet(s). No matter the personality of the pet, I will always love and want trust.

About: I have always put animals first in all aspects of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies and cats from kittens. I treat all animals as if they are my own and would love for the opportunity to watch your fur babies. I also love volunteering at the local humane society and helping all kinds of animals as well as fostering animals too! I’m currently in school and have extra time to care for your treasured pets! I will always treat your pets like my own! I will always be available to tend to your pet and give them the love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly lab mix to keep your fur happy baby company! I also have a living area separated from my pets if need be and have the ability to crate if that is what your pet needs.
