“Krystal was absolutely amazing! We have 2 dogs between 50-60 lbs each. We were gone for a week during the coldest time and Krystal was fantastic. She was able to walk dogs an hour each day and always sent updates about the weather, how they were doing, and feedback on the walks. She also sent pictures. She was great at very communication and really understand dogs and their behaviors. I highly highly recommend her.”
“Amanda is super kind and flexible. My dog Lucy absolutely adores walks/but can also be a bit difficult. Amanda has been accommodating and great for both of us. Thank you!”
About: I have grown up around pets and have owned dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I have experience sitting for neighbors and friends. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, and small animals. I have taken a veterinary assistant course which helps me to know how to best care for your pet! I have never met an animal I didn't get along with and would love to meet and care for yours! I work part-time from home and my work will travel, so I will have lots of time to provide whatever care your pet might need! I will provide compassionate, exceptional care for your pet in your home, keeping them in their own environment. I am available for drop in visits or to spend the day with them if you are at work or on vacation. I would love to play with your animals, keep them company, let them out, feed them, walk them, and whatever else you may need!

Food, water, clean litter available at all times when I am there with them
“Sam has been an absolutely terrific dog walker for Kyra. This is my first time using Rover, and so far, Sam has beyond exceeded any expectations I had for a new dog walker. She communicates well, sends photos and updates daily, always gives treats, and even refills Kyra’s water bowl if needed. Kyra has been so happy having Sam come to visit while I’m at work and I would certainly recommend Sam to anyone seeking a trustworthy, reliable dog walker.”
About: Hello! I’m a full-time Pet Care Specialist. I’ve walked every pup from Shih-Tzus to Newfoundlands. I was employed as an assistant manager for a Pet Care Service until I decided to do it on my own. I also used to help foster, and learned some basic training techniques from the owner of a nonprofit dog rescue called Bonafied. I’m great at befriending dogs. Even a few I had met that were deemed aggressive, I was able to rub their bellies and was greeted with the wiggles after a few visits. I’m very patient with pets, especially scared ones. I work with cats as well, and love them just as much! I provide plenty of picture updates during every visit. I require meet and greets in order to get to know your furbaby beforehand. I feel it necessary to say I am autistic and have adhd. I get burnt out easily and struggle with socializing. That does not affect the care I put into working with pets, just my availability and ability to carry a conversation. I won't work when my mental state isn't doing well. It is best for me to have a set schedule, and for clients to have a backup in case I can't work suddenly. I cherish the memories I make with everyone’s pets I’m lucky to have met. Thank you to whomever considers me. If you’d like to set up a meet, please contact me! My normal schedule is preferrably M-Th 8am-5pm. Availability may change at anytime. I may not be able to work some weeks/days due to my mental health. I won't cancel on the same day, but I will have to cancel the next appointments until further notice. I no longer take last minute appointments, I had too many people taking advantage of that. If you hire me full-time, I'd like to know by Sunday what the schedule is for me to walk/visit for the upcoming week. I will make an exception for last minute requests if I can. I follow your pets' routine and provide photo updates as frequently as requested. I will go with your preferences. I can give dogs medications and have had experience giving epidermal shots with one senior GSD. I may need a refresher, but I am capable. I take all the safety precautions when letting dogs into their backyard and when taking them on walks. I will double check gates are closed before letting your pup out and double check that I've locked your door on my way out. I know how to avoid dogs and people if your dog isn't friendly.
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My family has always had a dog. For 18 years, I had my own dogs. I’ve also watched friends and family member’s dogs. I will go to their houses and let their dogs out for them, walk them, etc. I work part time at a local elementary school as a TA. I only work 5.5 hrs a day, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a 10 year old that would love to play with your dog if I’m not! I can put them in a crate if need be. I’d love to take them for a ride too! If I go to your house, I will respect your property and your dog’s things.
About: For 12 wonderful years, I had the joy of loving my own dog, and for the past decade, I’ve been capturing the personalities of pets through photography even volunteering to photograph foster animals to help them find forever homes. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I can’t imagine life without. Now, I’d be honored to give your furry friend the same love, attention, and joy I gave my own keeping tails wagging and hearts happy while you’re away. I currently work at a local middle school. I plan to offer pet services on days I am off work and our school breaks. Perfect for any vacations you have planned, I will be available. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep them leashed and secure during walks, and make sure doors and gates are always locked behind me. I’ll check food, water, and comfort levels at every visit — and send you photo updates so you can see their happy face while you’re away. You can trust me to treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I am a pet trainer and pet service provider experienced in working with puppies, rescues, seniors, and some special needs animals. I have cared for and shared my life with dogs for nearly 42 years. I was an educator at the college level for over 20 years. I worked in a Kennel for 4 years and started my own training and pet service 3 years ago. I have experience in administering medications, and am comfortable doing so according to your specific instructions. I have 4 dogs of my own, all of whom are therapy certified. We did bi weekly hospice visits and also visited residents in a local nursing homes until the COVID Pandemic. I understand the needs of dogs, and your need to know your pet is being well cared for in your absence. Young, old, big, small, I love them all! *Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to cats. So I am not able to accept requests for homes with cats. I am a retired educator, now a full-time artist, so my schedule is my own; allowing me flexible availability to assist you with your pet care needs I am happy to do drop in visits to check on your pup(s), day stays, overnights and extended stays in your home. I do not currently offer boarding or doggy day care in my home.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals, from basic to exotic, since I was 15. I have 2 years of experience taking care of pets for just family and friends and 4 years of taking care of pets for other people :) I have plenty of time to take care of your pets!! I can do anything from pet sitting, to stopping by to let pets out or feed them! I also love taking walks and going on jogs, so bring your pet along with me would be amazing!! I am more than happy to take care of pets in your home! I have a large house, but not much of a backyard, as well as roommates, so boarding in my home may be slightly less likely, but still an option!
About: I have cared for dogs the past 15 years. From getting energy out to slowing down for cuddles, I love all aspects of dog care. I have experience with all ages, especially seniors with special medical needs. I work a rotating schedule that leaves whole days free to care for your furry family members! My boarding schedule rotates with my work schedule but with enough notice I can make anything work. Your animals safety is my top priority when they are in my care. I follow all instructions given by you to keep them safe. My yard is fenced and nothing hazardous to your pet is within their reach.
About: I got my first dog when I was only 6 years old, since then, I care about all the dogs so much & help my family & my friends with their dogs, cats or any other animals - even horses - they need help with. I can help with puppies & seniors, I can care about them in health & sickness. My dogs are my children, they are my family. I spoil all my babies from playing in the pool or giving them a ride in a special pet stroller - & spoil them to death. I have 1/4 acre, almost fully fenced yard, but I also have invisible fence. Plenty toys & my dog to keep company & play with. I have mini pool to cool them off & pet stroller if they are tired or too old to walk. You need just bring your baby & the food & I will provide love, care & everything else they need. I work 2-3 days a week for only few hours. Sometimes I help with my grandchildren or I need to run out for an hour to do extra special chores to care about other animals. Besides this, I am always home. I enjoy playing & cuddling with dogs & cats, they are the best friens & family. If I am at your house - your rules, if we are at my house - also your rules but my little guests are always allowed to be on my sofa or sleep on my bed.
About: I’ve had dogs around all my life. I started helping take care of and learned the responsibilities of owning a pet at 5. I also have experience pet sitting for neighbors (cats, dogs, sugar gliders, turtle). I currently am searching for a job but just finished my undergraduate program at UIUC this spring and have open availability as of right now. I’m extremely detail oriented and will follow the routine of the pet. I am currently not able to house any pets currently due to having a dog at home.
About: I can’t remember a time that I didn’t have a pet. Whether that be, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, turtles, ducks and even a tortoise. I have always had a furry friend to take care of. Now as an adult I have 2 big ol’ dogs and 2 cats of my own that keep me on my toes. I have a lot of experience with puppies, kittens, elderly animals and also have experience with providing medication to pets including having to give insulin to diabetic fur babies. I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) and help you with whatever needs they may have! I have a lot of free time these days but also have a 6 year old daughter that takes up some of that time. I am more than willing to allocate most of the remaining time to helping you and your family. I have two high energy dogs with a big fenced in back yard and lots of room to run around. I also have a very big neighborhood that is perfect for long walks.

Michelle E.
“Before going to rover for my pet care needs I got Michelle’s card for Puppy Loves Pet Services. I recently got 2 shepskys puppies wasn’t sure how I was going to handle two puppies at 8 weeks old (also being a single mom of two children 2 & 8). Michelle just recently started training the puppies at my house which makes it so convenient for the kids and me. the advice and knowledge that she gives to us each week is amazing the kids are learning every week something new that they can teach the dogs and be involved. Michelle is so patient with the dogs and the kids and myself because before her we were lost on what to do never really professionally trained other dogs I have had in the past . I highly recommend Michelle for all of your dog needs you won’t be disappointed.”

Leaving another 5 star review because Sam absolutely deserves it! I truly could not recommend her enough. I’d give 20 stars if I could. She has been walking my dog every day for the better part of two years and is by far the best walker we could have ever asked for. She is dependable, consistent with communication, and above all else, one of my pups best friends. Thank you, Sam, for everything 🐾
