Dog Walkers in Bannockburn, IL

“This was my first time using Rover and Denis was amazing!! He was so professional and immediately put me at ease when we met. It was so fun to get pics of our dog while we were out of town & I knew he was being taken care of. I highly recommend Denis & Nikki!”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 8 years and truly love spending time with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m very active, patient, and dependable, so whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your senior pet needs a calmer, gentler approach, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand how important pets are to families, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, especially afternoons and evenings. I enjoy going on walks, being outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are doing well. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets is very important to me. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines closely so pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar space. I pay close attention to instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crate training, and any special needs or behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize safety during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

“Yesterday, Jason was walking our dog when a neighbor’s dog ran through its electric fence, and charged my dog. Jason calmly and skillfully de-escalated the situation, preventing potential serious injuries to my pet. Jason is a wonderful dog walker, and in this case he went well above and beyond the call of duty.”

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

“Erin is the first person I’ve used with River & I couldn’t be happier! Erin has been great taking my dog, Bruce, for walks. She’s on time & very communicative, I love seeing the pictures after she’s done. I’m a big fan, but I think my dog might be a bigger one! Highly recommend!”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Amy and Lamar to care for our dog, Ralph, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They consistently went above and beyond—giving him extra-long walks and even taking care of his feeding schedule twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out was Lamar’s work on training during his time with Ralph. His calm, confident approach made an immediate impact, and we are amazed at how responsive Ralph is to his guidance. It’s clear that both Amy and Lamar have a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to connect with them. We are incredibly grateful for their reliability, professionalism, and the affection they showed Ralph. We highly recommend Amy and Lamar to anyone looking for dedicated and trustworthy dog walkers, and we absolutely plan to use their services again in the future!”

“Shannon was extremely reliable and great with our dog. We had no issues and she was really pleasant to work with. We will definitely be hiring her again whenever we need help watching/walking our dog!”

“Ariana was great taking care of my dog. She took him for a solid walk, refilled his water, and he was super happy to have company when I was at work. She was also really communicative and was helpful in fitting him into her schedule.”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8. We got my first dog when I was three. He winked at me on the way home so I named him Winky. My favorite photo is of me napping on the couch with WInky in the 60's. Since then, I've had a love for dogs. But since my son has an allergy, I can't have a dog right now. I would love to walk your dog! I'm currently semi-retired so I have time to walk dogs. I need to walk every day so I'm happy to take on this role. I can't have dogs at my house due to my son's allergy. I can come to your dog. I am a trustworthy and prompt person (always on time!). I am gentle with all dogs and, if I may say so myself, dogs love me.

“I chose Amy as my walker the fist time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is fantastic. I love the peace of mind the company policies provide me. The check in cards are a great feature and the fact that I can select to receive Rover messages as texts is also a great option. The app is user-friendly and works smoothly.”

About: Dog mom to a small terrier mix and a large shepherd mix. Growing up, my mom worked in an animal shelter. I spent summers volunteering with dog walking and fostering. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as I’m out of the home during the standard 8 hour work day on weekdays. I am available for dog walks anytime on weekends, and before/after work on weekdays. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. Both of my dogs are playful and are comfortable with other dogs of all sizes.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I do everything I can to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine—whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddles. I have experience with pets of different personalities and energy levels, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family member! I am an online student, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available mostly any day and time. I can fit last minutes bookings in easily. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and routines exactly as given. I want to make sure that all pets I take care of are comfortable, safe, and happy! I am happy to provide any care your pet needs.

“Paige is a life saver! She went above and beyond to make sure that our large and strong dog got three long walks a day for 19 days straight. We needed to change our booking numerous times and Paige was incredibly flexible, patient and kind through it all. She is extremely dependable, positive, responsive, and competent. Our dog is much calmer and happier thanks to her and so are we! We are so grateful to have found her and so thankful for her exceptional care.”

About: Our family of four cared for and loved our American Bulldog, Lola, for 10+ years. Recently (her last six months), she required frequent meds and extra attention. So, we know how to handle dogs in a similar situation. Sadly, our Lola is no longer with us. But, we're eager to shower your dog with lots of TLC. *If you are a first time customer, please contact me to arrange an initial meet and greet. In addition to me, there's often someone else around. My husband is a teacher and is a dog lover. Plus, our teenage boys will gladly run around and play with super active dogs. But, I'm the person in charge and will supervise. So, contact me and let me know what you need. I am flexible and will work it out. If your dog does not get along with other dogs, please let us know. We will make sure we don't board other dogs at the same time. We have a fenced in dog run for quick bathroom breaks. We live in a family friendly neighborhood with an open field two minutes away and lots of dogs walking around. Getting your dog exercise is not a problem at all!

About: I’ve taken care of different types of dogs since I was 14. I had a golden doodle pet of my own for 12 years. I have given injections and pills to dogs. I have been trusted to take care of dogs with epilepsy and diabetes. I have plenty of time to be with your animals. I love cuddling with them and won’t have a problem having them in my bed. I am from Riverwoods and it is soon to be my senior year in college but I have time off now. I also love being active and outside. I have no concerns about anxious dogs and I know they will warm up to me with time. I can crate your dog if needed. For extra outdoor time, I have a a zip line cord to connect to a collar that prevents them from going past a certain point in the backyard since we do not have a fenced in yard. They can roam around there.
