Dog Walking Baugh Spring

“Kimberly has been wonderful with Tesse. I am very happy I found her through Rover. It gives me peace of mind that Tesse has an opportunity to be walked during the day and isn’t cooped up. Tesse apparently was a challenge. She was being protective of her space and wasn’t easily convinced Kimberly was friend or foe. Kimberly patiently worked with Tesse. Definitely a 5 stars rating is deserved.”

“Vanessa is great! The dogs love her. She takes care of my dogs as instructed, showing up on time, and keeps in touch with and challenges. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have owned pets my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old German Shepard named Brutus who is the apple of our eye! I believe that pets are extended family and I will treat your fur family members like my own, with love, respect, and care! I also am experienced with caring for chickens! I am a stay at home mom so I am extremely flexible! I am able to work around your needs and adjust to my own schedule! Our yard is fenced in at home and our German Shepard is crate trained and knows all basic commands, as well as a fabulous frisbee athlete! I will care for your pets at your home how you treat them so that they are familiar with routine and comfortable with me. I can do a prior meet and greet as well to make sure we are both a good fit for each other.

About: My name is Hannah and I have loved animals ever since I was a kid! I have watched dogs and other pets growing up and have owned my own sweet pup for the past 4 years! I currently work from 5am-12:30pm so my afternoons are completely free! I enjoy taking my dog to a bigger dog park for him to get the zoomies! I have a friendly dog, who loves to play and is caught up on all vaccines. I have a dog park at my apartment complex and plenty of room in my car for transportation!

“Michaela was able to cover dog walking for a week when we needed someone last minute. She communicated well and we would use her services again”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where my parents bred Boxers, so caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels became second nature to me from a young age. Throughout my life, I’ve always had pets of my own, and I’m also the person my family turns to when they need someone they trust to care for their animals while they’re away. I currently have three English Springer Spaniels of my own, so I’m VERY familiar with energetic, playful, affectionate—and sometimes very needy!—dogs. 😂 I understand that some pets need much more than a quick potty break. Whether yours needs a good walk to burn off some energy, lots of playtime, extra cuddles and attention, or simply someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My experience goes beyond dogs, too. I’ve cared for cats and currently have a snake of my own, so I’m comfortable around a variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I also have firsthand experience caring for pets who need a little extra attention. One of my own dogs is prone to recurring skin issues, so I’m very familiar with the additional care that can come along with that. I’m comfortable following established care instructions, including medicated baths and other routine at-home care, when provided by an owner or veterinarian. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual. If an emergency were ever to occur while your pet was in my care, I would never hesitate to contact you and seek appropriate veterinary care. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals with someone else, so I want to give you the same peace of mind I would want when leaving my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and all their little quirks rather than treating every animal the same. I’m dependable, attentive to the little things, and happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I’ll care for your animals the way I would want someone to care for mine. ❤️🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, later evenings, unusual work schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. Whether you need a consistent weekly routine or occasional care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule rather than making them adjust to mine. I know pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll always do my best to keep their feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and medication routines as close to normal as possible. 💕 My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as much like home as possible. I truly believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their normal routines don’t have to change just because their owners are away. Tell me how things work at home, and I’ll do my best to keep it that way! If your pup sleeps in bed with you, they’re welcome to snuggle up with us. If they’re happiest sleeping in their crate, I’m more than happy to maintain that routine as well. Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and other daily habits will all be tailored to your pet. We live in a quiet area away from busy roads and have a fully fenced yard with an additional guard along our iron fencing to help prevent even smaller dogs from slipping through. There are no children in our home, and our own animals are friendly, well-trained, and accustomed to being part of an active, pet-loving household. I’m also happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand so everyone can get acquainted and we can make sure your pup feels comfortable. For dogs who love getting out and exploring, we frequently visit the Greenway for leashed walks, and I’m happy to provide other outings when appropriate for your individual dog and with your permission. I drive a roomy Kia Telluride, so I have plenty of space for comfortable transportation—and dog hair definitely doesn’t scare me! 😂 Playtime can get messy, and that’s perfectly okay! If your pup loves water, mud, or somehow manages to find every dirty spot possible, I’m happy to provide a bath upon request. I’m also comfortable following established care instructions for medicated baths when needed. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I’ll follow your instructions regarding leashes, crates, feeding, medications, interactions with other animals, and anything else specific to your pet. I want to know their quirks, likes, dislikes, house rules, and the little things that make them feel secure. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see that they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Just tell me how you care for them at home, and I’ll do everything I can to make my home feel like theirs. 🦮✨

About: I've always had a connection with animals. I know how to give medications as needed. I've always been asked to pet sit since I was 10. I used to own my pet sitting business but life happened and COVID happened so I had to go back to work full-time. I have been wanting to pick back up pet sitting because it made me happy. I, now, do side gigs and am free most of the time. I do have my own animals so I'd like to be able to have some time with them if I stay at your place. I will follow whatever instructions you leave me. Plus, help them feel loved while you're away. There will be no worry because they will be in good care.

“Paige did a great job! My pups were excited to see her!”

About: Your peace of mind and their happiness are my top priorities! I am dedicated to providing peace of mind to pet parents while they’re away. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family. When your fur babies are in my care, they’ll receive plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. I have a large, fenced-in backyard where they can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. You will receive many updated, pics and videos while your pet is here having fun. I’m home 90% of the time and make it a priority to plan my activities around what best suits your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their diet, getting the perfect amount of playtime, or providing them with rest when needed, I tailor everything to their routine. I ensure that your pets feel included in everything I do, making them feel like they’re part of my family during their stay. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. My life revolves around my clients’ schedules, and I always plan activities based on the pet’s specific needs. I try to stay home as much as possible, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. During the day, your pets are free to hang out with me in the living room, kitchen, or even my bedroom. I aim to provide a routine that feels familiar and comforting to each pet, adjusting based on their personality and needs. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and at home as possible during their stay! I care for pets with the same attention and love that I would give my own. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and outdoor fun. I’m also centrally located in a wooded neighborhood, right across from a beautiful forest preserve, which means lots of fresh air and opportunities for nature walks. My split-level home gives me the ability to separate pets if there’s ever any tension, ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I’m home most of the time, so I’m always available to stick to your pet’s proper diet and administer any medication they may need. I’m flexible with pick-up times to accommodate your schedule, and I make sure that boarders in my home are treated like part of the family. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or yours.

“April is a true animal lover. She is very reliable, responsible and kind to my dogs. I think they really like her. She sends good pictures and let's us know how the dog walking session went. I would highly recommend her.”

“I want to thank Kathe. She bent over backward to make sure my dog’s needs were met and treated him like her own. She was patient, competent and funny the whole time. I recommend Kathe highly.”

About: I’m a dependable companion for your furry family member while you’re away. What sets me apart on Rover is my commitment to personalized, loving care that makes pets feel safe, happy, and at home—even when you’re not. Every pet has their own personality, quirks, and needs, and I take the time to truly understand and cater to them. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or just giving extra belly rubs and playtime, I treat your pet like my own. I also keep you in the loop with frequent photo updates and messages, so you always know your pet is in good hands. One of the biggest advantages of booking with me? I’m home full-time and have a completely open schedule! That means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether your pet needs morning walks, midday playtime, evening feedings, or just lots of love and companionship in between. Because I’m not juggling another job, I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings, special routines, or extra check-ins. Your pet gets all the attention they deserve, and you get total peace of mind knowing I’m just a message away. When your pet stays with me, their safety and well-being are my top priority. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, I always use a secure leash and harness for outdoor time, ensuring your pup gets fresh air and exercise safely. I’m attentive on walks and always keep a close eye on their surroundings. Inside, I have plenty of clean, pet-friendly space where your pet can relax, play, and feel right at home. Whether it’s a cozy spot for a nap or room to roam and explore, I create a calm, welcoming environment that feels safe and familiar. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m dedicated to earning both your trust and your pet’s. You can count on me to treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.

“Absolutely wonderful! She stopped by three days last week to walk Ella and did such a great job. She sent me tons of pictures and gave me updates every day, which I really appreciated and gave me peace of mind knowing Ella was being well taken care of. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about Ella. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her take care of Ella again!”

“Katelyn was amazing. She connected with our dog so well and gave us peace of mind while we were away knowing that Gracie was in good hands. We will definitely use her again. Thanks, Rover.”

About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodl), a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!

“Joslynne was great and very attentive to our dogs. My Boston doesn't deal well with the heat and Josylnne made sure to cut the walk short in order for her to not overheat. She also offered to clean up a plant that had fallen in the house. Very sweet! We will use again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for almost 17 years and I have also watched friends and family’s dogs and find much joy in doing it! I love learning about what makes each pet unique and what they love. I go on lots of walks in general so doing it with your loved and adorable dogs would make it that much better! At the end of the day, my goal is to make every owner’s life easier and keep their pets safe and happy! I am currently in college and playing softball but I have plenty of time between and after classes to walk and care for your pets! My main services that I will be providing are walking and drop-in visits! I live in an apartment so I cannot have pets in my own home but I’m open to going to someone else’s!

“Kelly is great! I had never used a dog walker before, but we live in an apartment now and my roommate can't handle my dog and the stairs. While I was out of town, Kelly came by each day and sent me detailed little reports with pictures. I really appreciated how communicative she was; it helped relieve my anxiety about my dog while I was on vacation. I will definitely use her in the future!”
