Dog Walkers in Brooklyn, IL

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, female and male, kittens/puppies being bottle fed, middle aged animals, and seniors taking medication. I also have experience with aggressive cats specifically. My name is Mary by everyone calls me Mae. My pronouns are They/Them. I am looking to earn money through my passions. One of those is helping animals! I am available any time necessary to do checkups on your animal(s)! I make sure their water is always full, that they aren't over or underfed, and that they've had plenty of bathroom breaks, playtime, and cuddles! I'll give them treats if you let me too!

“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”

About: I've had cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can bathe dogs and administer meds to both dogs and cats. Ive also had birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and a tortoise. I am fully devoted to taking care of animals fir the time being. My schedule is flexible. I understand plans come up last minute so short notice shouldn't be a problem! I am very interactive with animals as I believe this is how they feel loved. I will tend to any special needs they may have!

About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life and cats too, so being with animals just comes naturally to me. i have two cats and a dog of my own, so i’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines every day. i’m a huge animal lover in general—not just pets, but everything from little beetles to deer and anything in between 😂 i’ve always had a soft spot for animals. i pay attention to how they act and what they need, whether they’re super playful or more shy. i make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the attention they need while you’re away. i treat every pet like they’re mine, and i know how big of a deal it is to trust someone with your animals. i’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and i’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well taken care of—no stress on your end. my days usually start around 8–9am depending on when my cats wake me up for breakfast lol. my dog zuko is more of a couch potato, but when he needs to go out he definitely lets me know. i work from home and my schedule is super flexible, so i’m not stuck at a desk and can move around freely throughout the day. that means i’m able to give pets a lot of attention, take breaks for walks, and adjust my day around their needs. once i’m up, i take zuko out for his first bathroom break, then we come back in for breakfast. after that i’ll relax a bit, clean up, and then we head back out for a good walk or sometimes the park. after that we come back, he gets a treat, and the rest of the day is pretty go with the flow—lots of attention, check-ins, and making sure everyone’s comfortable and taken care of. i make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. i live in a loft that gets a lot of natural sunlight, and my pets love it—they’re usually sunbathing and relaxing most of the day, which creates a really peaceful vibe. i pay close attention to behavior and routines so pets feel comfortable, especially in a new space or with a new person. i’m also very mindful about things like doors, food safety, and keeping anything harmful out of reach. i follow your instructions closely so your pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. since i work from home and have a flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone or ignored—they’ll get consistent attention, care, and a relaxed environment. i’ll also keep you updated so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.

About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently own two of my own cats. Many of my friends have larger dogs, and have relied on me to help check on them while they are out of town and take them for walks and have play dates. I love all kinds of dogs and cats! I am currently working from home on Mondays and Fridays, but that will change to working from home on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in the next couple of weeks. My nights are mostly free and am able to be flexible with my schedule. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, well fed and hydrated, and give them the playtime and snuggles they need! I make sure litter boxes and yards are clean and clean up any accidents that may happen.

About: I've loved dogs and cats since a young age. As I've grown older, my responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playing and even cleaning up after of various breeds of dogs and cats. I am capable of providing medication and other special care for your pets. I believe pets are family and I will treat your animals as my family. I am a kind, caring individual who will go above and beyond for your furbaby. At this time, I have a full time job, Hence house-sitting for low maintenance animals is primarily what I can provide. I look forward to helping you out Unfortunately, my current living situation prevents me from accommodatimg more dogs or cats. Although, animals in aquariums are welcome and will be treated with love.

“Corrine was amazing with my dog who can be very reactive on leash. Not with her! Would love to have back her anytime we need someone she is available.”

“Zaria has walked our dog 3x/week for the past 2 weeks and has been great. Reliable, communicative, and is amazing with our not-very-disciplined 55 pound dog, who loves it when Zaria comes. We will be doing a recurrent booking with Zaria for as long as she’s available! Highly recommend.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.

About: Ever since I was little, I have had a passion for all animals, big and small, of every kind. I have 4 pets of my own, 1 cat and 2 dogs (a Shih Tzu and an American Staffordshire) and a guinea pig! I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years. Anytime a family member or friend will be out of town, they all know they can count on me to provide unconditional love and care for their pets, because they know... PETS ARE MY PASSION. THEY ARE FAMILY! I am open and flexible with my schedule, and can accommodate most needs. I have experience with puppies, kittens, birds, bunnies, older cats, and older dogs, (and sick pets too 😞) I have lost a few pets in my life, but all have lived long healthy lives with so much love. I'm familiar and comfortable with giving pets their medicine if needed. I have lots of love to give, to all the animals I meet! Rest assured, your pets will be cared for! **AVAILABLE ON HOLIDAYS!** I am a self employed house cleaner, so my schedule is very flexible. I can and will work around your schedule to provide the utmost care for your pets when needed. I ALWAYS provide photos and keep you updated on your pets!! I understand that time is a valuable thing, so I always make sure my pets, and others are always taken care of. I take pride in my pet care. I am honest, and patient, and it makes me so happy when pets get excited to see their owners, or guests.

“Phoebe was very kind and understanding—even when Rover sent her to the wrong address!! Tootsie adored her.”

About: I have a 5 year old 100lb staffordshire terrier named Kaido that I raised and trained since he was 6 weeks old. I crate trained, house trained, recall trained, socialized, and lead trained him myself. I have also Kaido to help work with other dogs that are not well socialized or have anxiety issues. I am currently working two part time jobs as a research coordinator so I am typically able to be flexible with whatever schedule is requested. While my apartment does not have a fenced yard, I do have a large dog crate if needed and have knowledge of many dog parks and trails in the St Louis area.

“Sweetie and communicative even in the snow!!!!”
