Dog Walking in Carol Stream

“It’s our first time having someone walk our 5 months old puppy, and Nicole was super nice, communicative and respectful to our puppy ( we had very bad experience with the dog care in Schaumburg). Nicole was above and beyond and our puppy was very happy with her, that’s everything we wanted.”

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers—cats, dogs, birds, even pet cows, turtles, chickens, hermit crabs, and more! Pets have always been family to us, and they were deeply loved and cared for. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and still do occasional pet sitting. Now, I’m excited to offer my care through Rover! I’ll go any length to keep your pets happy—whether that means giving baths, going on long walks, or showering them with love and plenty of pets. I’d love to treat your pets like the family they are—because they deserve the very best. I’m a part-time college student who also works and babysits, so pet sitting is the perfect flexible gig for me! My schedule changes week to week, but I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits most days, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I can do drop-ins, walks, feedings, baths, playtime, and give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. Weekends and some overnights are also available with notice—just reach out, and I’ll do my best to fit your needs! When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I’ll stick to their routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding at specific times, going for walks, cleaning up after them, or just giving them extra cuddles and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give your pet not just care, but genuine companionship and kindness every visit.

“Booked Zach to walk my dog. They went for a nice long walk around the lake which I know my dog loves. He took pictures and updated me about how my dog did after the walk. Zach was very accommodating to my dog’s needs as my dog can be a bit tough to walk (he can be lazy 🐶). Will definitely book again! Thank you Zach!”

“Vivian has been our dog walker for the past couple months and has been getting along well with our dog Maxx. She communicates well and responds promptly. Maxx seems to really enjoy his walks with her by the cute pictures we get from the walk. My dog Maxx can easily be scared and doesn't always like to stay out long, but Maxx seems very comfortable with Vivian since he walks around a lot and stays out long. You can tell she works well with dogs especially with her experience taking care of her own dogs. I love the rover cards we get and will definitely use Vivian again in the future. I highly recommend if you need a dog walker!”

About: I have extensive experience in walking, sitting, and training dogs. I have fostered 13 dogs in my home, and have had many pets of my own before that. I have babysat and fostered puppies as young as 8 weeks, and senior dogs as old as 16. I am familiar with animal CPR and available to take dogs out as often as needed. I am an online nursing student, so I am always available and at home. I am currently an online nursing student, so I am always available to take dogs out. When I foster puppies, I have them out every 1-2 hours as well as have plenty of play time and interaction. For day care, anything more than 9 hours will be an additional charge. For boarding, my pick up and drop off hours are between 8 am - 8 pm. Anything outside of those hours will be an additional $20 charge. If you are 1-2 hours late picking up your pet, it will be an additional $20. I have a yard and dog-friendly neighborhood that I can take care of your dog in. The dogs are welcome to every area in my home including beds and couches! I want your dog to be as comfortable as I am.

About: Growing up, I had two small dogs of my own who have moved on to puppy heaven. To fill the gap in my heart, I began watching my neighbors and cousins dogs both big and small. I have experience with shitzhus, chihuahuas, pitbulls, labs, akitas, dobermans, and more. I believe that dog behaviors are a product of their environment, I am dedicated to making your furbaby feel comfortable and relaxed while I take care of them. Since I don’t have a dog of my own quite yet, I have adopted three amazing cats! My three furbabies are my entire life. I am a self-proclaimed cat mind reader and can tell when your kitty wants to play or wants there own personal space. Additionally, I can read cat behaviors well as I identified a disease in my own cat - FIP. I cured my cat by daily injecting it with medication subcutaneously. I am grateful everyday he is healthy, happy, and alive. I would be comfortable administering medication to your furbaby, as I know how stressful it can be leaving them alone. I would love to get to know and love your kitties! Additionally, last but not least, I am a fish lover! I am a freshwater aquarium keeper and have experience maintaining 40+gallon tanks with live plants. I would be happy to take care of, feed, and even clean your fish tanks. I currently work remotely Monday-Friday from 9-5PM. I am available before or after, on weekends, or even throughout the days on my lunch breaks. I am flexible throughout the day. I treat my clients home’s as I would want someone to treat mine. I also understand that their pet is an equal homeowner and may take some time to adjust to me! I respect pets boundaries and can read their behaviors well so that they are the most comfortable and happy.

About: Hi! I’ve been helping take care of dogs my entire life. I raised my own dogs since they were puppies all the way up until they went over the rainbow bridge at the ages at 15. I am a certified dog groomer and have worked for an animal hospital as well. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience with all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I know how to administer medication and monitor for health issues. I like to be communicative with owners during my visits including sending photos of their pets throughout the day. I like to send the owners a summary of my visit at the end of my stay. I have open availability and like to make accommodations as much and as easy as possible for owners. Feel free to contact me at anytime! I like to be very attentive in all aspects of a dog’s life. I like to make sure all dietary requirements are met. Also if necessary all medications or supplements are given correctly.

“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”

About: I have experience with various animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, and gerbils. I have most experience caring for dogs with frequent accidents, senior health issues, and giving medications. I currently work remotely so I am always at home! I freelance mostly, so if your dog needs me I will always be available to help! I trust that every dog has their own personality, skills and issues. With this being said, I want to make sure every dog gets the care they need no matter what.

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals from my childhood growing up in Brazil. During 5 years living near Chicago, I pet sat for many neighbors and family members. People have relied on me to do basic tasks such as walking dogs, changing litter, and playing with their furry friends. I am currently in between a few part time/ on the side jobs so my schedule is fairly free. I am available most weekdays and occasional weekends to stay overnight with pets. As for checking up on animals, my schedule allows multiple check-ins a day I am not receiving animals at my residence due to me being in college. When staying at your residence I will make sure to know what areas to keep your pet away form and how to respect your space

“We were absolutely delighted to have Amanda watch over our pups while we were out of town. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She was attentive, loving, and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares, and our dogs absolutely adored her! We came home to happy, well-cared for pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Amanda and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I love animals! I have had either a cat or dog(mostly dogs) my whole life! Most of the time we always had more then one dog. I love taking care of them like they are my babies. Can’t talk but need just as much attention. I am good with calming dogs down for the hyper ones. I even run with the dogs! If your dog rather walk or run I’m here for it. Always having a dog I know what to look for when then are not acting like them selves. I also know how to give dogs medication the fun way! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. Cats or dogs either way would be great with me! I am here to help.

“Makayla showed up on time to meet our german shepherd and to take her on a walk. She asked good questions and handled her well on a 1.25 mile walk. I would not hesitate to user her again.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a toddler, so I've grown up and become comfortable around dogs of all sizes and ages. I've pet-stitted for almost all of the pet parents in my neighborhood and many other close friends, animals including dogs, cats, and even rats. I'm home from college for the summer so my schedule is open and very flexible. I am also free nights to stay with your pet and watch your house. I will keep your pet's regular routine as closely as possible. I can also offer companionship in the form of lots of attention, care, and playtime.

“Lana was amazing with our dog Atlas. She kept me updated during the walk sending texts and a video. It made me feel good that our dog had such great care. Lana is fun and reliable!”

About: My experience with dogs and their care is extensive. I have several friends who call on me when they have to be away. I have stayed in their homes with the dogs who are more comfortable in their own environment. I am confident in what these families' would say about my care. I have cared for disabled dogs and am comfortable giving medications. My personal hobby is horse backing riding where I have learned a lot about reading animals. Each animal is unique and loved by their family. It is this belief in family member which is my business moto. Under my care your pet will be loved, protected and exercised while your away. In choosing me, I am certain that I will exceed your expectations. Thank you for reviewing my profile and I look forward to hearing from you. Caring for your pets basic needs will be my top priority. Together with my husband and my 18 year old daughter, we can assure plenty of walks and exercise will be provided throughout the day. Of course there will be snuggle couch time, if that is what your pet needs. We live in a "lived in Home" that is filled with love. My whole family loves dogs and enjoys playing with them. The yard is unfenced and we leash walk if required. I am a retired active grandmother that truly enjoys spending my days with dogs. Your pet will be treated like family with my loving family. We offer a fenced yard for play time and several poddy breaks throughout the day. Your pet will be fed, exercised and get peaceful rest.

“Maddie was wonderful! Duke was very well taken care of and I was informed and communicated with the entire time. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was in good hands. 10/10 recommend!!”

About: I have cared for my dogs for over 10 years I am a true dog lover. I am a nurse I have a 10 year old English bulldog and we go on walks and take him on parks and beaches. I love dogs this is a great advantage to meet other dogs around the area and engage with them plus it will help me be physically active since I never have the chance to because of school and work. I will run and play with your dogs they will love me! I can’t wait to meet all the dogs around me! I’m pretty flexible so I can work with you on scheduling so text me and we can work things out! You are the priority! Always. If I hired a stranger to take care of my home I’d want them to be trustworthy and complete the things I ask them to do.
