Dog Walking in Belvidere

“Theresa came through for us at the last minute Very caring and professional I highly recommend her Thank you”

“I could not have asked for a better person to care for my Chief. He waits by the door for her on the days I'm home in anticipation. Highly recommend Erica!”

“Estafanny did an AMAZING job watching my Rufus 😊 He absolutely LOVES her, he already knows her name 😂 I plan on having her watch my furbaby every time I'm out of town and to check on him when I have to work late. She is very responsible and communicative when watching my baby boy.”

“Lexi is the most genuine and loving pet owner and sitter. Our dog brick loves to cuddle and play whenever she watches him. She is so intentional with her time giving him all her energy and he always comes back so tired. She really treats Brick like he is her own!”

“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.”

“Jessica was very helpful and she accommodated me the last minute. Josie loved her walks!”

“Thank you Autumn for taking care of our very rambunctious OES on a holiday. We so appreciate the great care you gave her. We know she can be a lot to handle.”

“My pups love Lauryn and I appreciate the thorough updates and quick communication. Thank you again for taking such good care of the doggos!”

About: I will love and care for your pet like it is my own. My #1 priority is keeping your fur (scaley?) babies happy, while also keeping you in the loop with pictures and messages! I don't have any breed restrictions whatsoever, they're all wonderful to me. I have become a "go-to" for pet parents of, eccentric, or nervous dogs because I can understand their boundaries and comfort levels and adjust my habits and attitude to accommodate them until they realize I am just there to love them. I look forward to hearing from you! Enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby (babies) will be spoiled as much as possible with me watching them! I love animals and being able to assist people with their pets is my favorite job. I have always cared for pets, whether it be my own or sitting, as well as volunteered at shelters and facilities tending to animals. I spend most of my time with your pet when I am given the trust of their care and access to your home. Outside of general errands I spend my time with your pet so they don't feel anxious of your absence. Other home tasks can also be done within reason as well. I am there so you can feel at ease being away.

About: i’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old, and I absolutely love any kind of pet. I have three dogs of my own, and I tend to take them for walks occasionally everyday! i’m currently working part time at Jimmy John’s, and don’t get a lot of hours, so I’m free anytime that I’m needed for your pet! I always bring my own treats if that’s okay with the owners and before going to pet your animals i let them sniff me so they can get comfortable with who i am if i seem intimidating, im not scared of animals at all i have open arms to them. when walking them i make sure they have a harness so they won’t slip out of the neck collar and always make sure to clean up their poop

“Alona Has been walking out pit bull/lab named Athena for over two years she walks her three times a week and twice a year keeps her for a week when we vacation. She is so kind and gentle and always patient and on time and cares for our fur baby. Like her own she is highly recommended. We trust her with our fur baby”

“I would trust Josh with my pets’ lives, and heck, mine too. I know he’s going to go above and beyond for my pup, June, every time. After Josh has taken her for a walk or taken care of her for a weekend, she’s disappointed that I’m not him when I come home. He is incredibly reliable, animals love him and naturally gravitate towards him, and he happens to be a great guy on top of everything else!”

“I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Mariela as an exceptional in-home pet sitter. I have had the pleasure of working with her for 2 years, during which she provided love and attention to my beloved pets and home. Mari demonstrates a genuine love for animals. She took the time to get to know my pets’ unique personalities, habits, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. It was clear that she values the well-being and happiness of the pets under her care. Mariela stayed in our home for 10 days during our most recent trip. Anytime we checked our security cameras, we saw that our pets were calm and relaxed, often sleeping on the sofa next to her. Upon our return home, we found our animals in great spirits and our home was clean and in the same condition we left it. Mariela demonstrated a high level of responsibility and reliability. She followed all care instructions diligently, ensuring that my pet's feeding, exercise, and medical needs were met with precision. Additionally, she maintained clear and consistent communication with us, providing regular updates via photo and video. We have had exceedingly positive experiences entrusting our pets and home under Mariela’s supervision, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an in-home pet sitter. She has consistently gone above and beyond in providing high quality care, and I am confident that she will continue to do so for any pet placed under her care. We already have her booked for our next vacation!”

“The moment Isabel met my boys and i, i could tell she was a good fit for us. I loved all the photos!”

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.

“Annie would be an excellent edition to the Rover team. As a dog owner, she understands the needs of animals and has a lot of patience when working with more challenging breeds. I have two large Siberian Forest Cats and Annie has also done a wonderful job of caring for my girls when I've had to be out of town. Annie is conscientious, honest, and has great empathy. She will go above and beyond for any pet that she is asked to care for.”

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've had dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up with them. I currently have a very energetic 3 year old female boxer name Parker and a 9 month old mix who would love some company! I am currently working from home full time. So I am home all day. Your pet would have my full attention. No need to worry! My dogs had free range of the house. We also have a dog park that we frequently visit with 7 minutes of our home. Which is in a gated community.

“Brooklyn has a big heart for all animals. She is responsible, honest and mature. She can be trusted to take care of your pets as she would her own, very well-loved dog.”

“Cora has grown up with pets her whole life and has always treated them with love and respect. I have seen her treat them as family and spoil them like kids. She will be an amazing dog caregiver and go over and above looking after them.”
