“Jessica was great! She walked our dog for 5 days while we were out of town. Kept a good open line of communication and sent pictures. Highly recommend and will definitely use again when needed!”


About: I have over 100 hours of volunteer service with SPCA Cincinnati, from walking dogs of all sizes to cleaning cat litter pans. Ever since I was 6 there’s been at least one pet in my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and rodents! I’m a freelancer, so pet care can fit in almost any day and time. If I am unavailable, I will let you know in advance. Attention is not given until all four paws are on the floor. Disruptive/destructive behavior is answered with Positive Interruption. Good behavior is awarded with free treats (please specify when booking if your pet has any food allergies). There are some our dog just doesn’t like, and it would be nice for them to get some use. I’ve found most pets benefit from classical music playing in the house, especially when their people are away.

“This was our first experience with Rover and Laura eased our mind and exceeded our expectations! Laura was responsive to our questions and came to meet Charlee before their first walk. She’s knowledgeable about all kinds of pets/animals and is clearly passionate about caring for them. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”


“Our dog loves her morning walks with Mark. He is reliable, on-time, and easy to communicate with. It is reassuring knowing that we have someone dependable to help take care of our dog.”


“Lindsay is the absolute best, a true professional through and through. We don’t use anyone else and will continue along that path. We’re very grateful, highly recommend!”



“Susan is an excellent walker! She clearly loves dogs and takes the time to build a relationship with them. She is thorough - sends updates and pictures. I highly recommend her services!”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and extensive experience with dogs of all ages, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, SubQ, IM) and can handle everything from bathing and walking to drop-ins. Friends and family often rely on me for their pets' needs, knowing they’ll receive the best care while they’re away. I’m currently available every day for your pet sitting, walking, and drop-in needs. I live in the Norwood/Oakley area and love getting my steps in while ensuring your pets have the support they need while you’re away! Your pets will be in excellent hands with me. Our home features a small, secure yard and hardwood floors with HVAC for their comfort. If your pet is crate-trained, we’re happy to use their crate. Our neighborhood offers fantastic walking routes, ensuring plenty of exercise and exploration. Rest assured, safety and trust are my top priorities, and your pets will enjoy a cozy and caring environment while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years and love to take them on walks/runs! As a runner, I have found the best way to get your steps in is with a furry best friend. Whether it’s a singular walk or a play date at our house, I will make sure your dog is having the time of your life and sleeps like a baby at night! I work for a real estate company and have a very flexible work schedule. I am able to care for your dogs at all times of day and can talk them for walks or run in any weather! I care of my pets as if they are my own. I will run your dogs, take them on long walks, or bring them to my place for playtime with my dog. I have been running and taking dogs on long walks for years. Whether it’s to get out energy or help them with their weight, I make sure they have a good, safe, and exciting walk!

About: I’ve had animals all my life, and I’m a huge animal lover! I know how stressful it can be for both you and your pet while you’re away, and my goal always is to help your pet live its best life while you are away so you don’t have to stress either! I have experience watching dogs from yorkies to labs, and all sizes in between. I work from home most days so my schedule is pretty flexible for feedings, playtime, and walks! I love to run, and am happy to help your pup get some energy out by running with them. My goal is always to make sure pets are relaxed and having fun while staying safe. If they’re outside I will always keep an eye on them in a fenced yard, or keep them on leash in open spaces.

About: Hi my name is Paige and I'm so excited to begin my career caring for your dog! I've been around animals my entire life and love them endlessly! We have a large fenced yard that our dog Stormi absolutely loves! We take the dogs out regularly throughout the day and typically for a long walk during the evening. We have an extra large kennel and a lot of extra space so we are able to handle dogs with all different types of personalities. I'm the right person for the job because I am honest, trustworthy, a great communicator, and caring. I will go the extra mile to ensure you are satisfied with my work during your pets stay in my home! Thank you! I will be doing this part time now, as I have a 7 month old, and work as a part time eyewear optician! I only work 3 days right now in order to get snuggles in with my little one. The dogs are my priority and will get my full attention as I have help with my 7 month old as well :) I love leveraging our large fenced in back yard to throw the ball or do other activities your pet loves.

Arlington Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Connor is an outstanding dog walker! He’s reliable, kind, and truly loves animals. My dog's lit up when they saw him! Connor went above and beyond, making sure the walk was not only fun but safe. I felt confident knowing my babies were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!

Very accommodating when I needed to cancel day of because one of my dogs started to get sick the night before. Also went above and beyond to come over early before I needed to get to work to show me how a gentle-lead works and see how my dog would react to having it on.
