About: I’ve worked at my local animal shelter for the past three summers as well as interning at a couple of vet clinics. I’m confident in reading animal cues and providing based on pets’ needs. I have a great passion for taking care of animals, especially those that you hold near and dear. I’m currently home for the summer and fitting in Rover during my free weekdays. I am flexible and will do everything I can to adjust to your preferred schedule! I prioritize your individual pets’ needs. Care will be completed in a timely manner, respectfully, and with utmost care towards your pet. Feel free to send instructions or details about your pet so I can best provide for them!

Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon

We couldn’t be happier with Jennifer! She walks our 90 pound dog, Willow, who can be very skittish and isn’t always comfortable around other dogs. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly patient, calm, and understanding with Willow, taking the time to build trust at Willow’s pace. She always provides detailed updates after each walk, which gives us so much peace of mind. We love hearing how Willow did and any little wins along the way. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays close attention to Willow’s needs and behavior. She’s also been very reliable, communicative, and flexible when needed. Knowing our large, sometimes nervous dog is in such capable and caring hands means everything to us. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker, especially if your dog needs a little extra understanding like ours does.

About: Current veterinary technician student with 3 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, Certified dog trainer with 3 years experience, 4 years of professional dog grooming experience, and 3 years of successfully running my own pet care and nail trim business. As a dedicated animal care professional and pet owner of two dogs myself, I understand the importance of compassionate, reliable, and attentive care. I would love the opportunity to make your furry family members part of my daily routine and provide them with the highest level of care and attention. I am currently a veterinary technician student through Penn Foster while also working part-time and raising my beautiful 2-year-old daughter. My passion for animals has guided both my personal and professional life, and I strive to lead by example by teaching my daughter the importance of love, compassion, patience, and responsibility when caring for animals. In addition to my studies, I bring 3 years of veterinary technician experience, 4 years of professional dog grooming experience, and 3 years of experience running my own pet care and nail trim business. As a devoted pet owner to two dogs of my own, I understand that pets are family, and I am committed to providing every animal with safe, attentive, and compassionate care. When caring for pets in your home, my first priority is building trust and creating a safe, comfortable environment for each animal. Every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure and at ease. This may include plenty of treats, playtime, slow introductions, or even hand feeding when needed to help establish a positive bond and build trust between your pet and myself. My goal is to ensure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while providing patient, compassionate, and individualized attention.

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals requiring extra attention. What sets me apart is my understanding of animal behavior, patience, and ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. Special Skills: • Puppy Training: Basic obedience, potty training, and leash manners • Senior Pet Care: Administering medications, mobility assistance, and comfort care • Pet First Aid & CPR Certified • Experience with Anxious & Special Needs Pets – I provide a calm, reassuring presence I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive love, attention, and expert care while you’re away! “As a college student, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My class schedule allows for flexible availability, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I prioritize time management, ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s a midday walk between classes, overnight pet sitting, or weekend check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the love and care they deserve. Caring for animals is not just a job for me- it’s a rewarding part of my life that I used to do daily with my family of 4 + 2 dogs, 3 horses, 3 cats and a lizard that brings balance and joy to my busy schedule.” Caring for Pets in My Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their routine and comfort. I follow all instructions carefully, ensuring feeding schedules, walks, and playtime are maintained as usual. I provide companionship, clean up after pets, and send regular updates with photos to give owners peace of mind. If requested, I can also handle small household tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, or adjusting lights to make the home look occupied.

About: My boyfriend, Joe, and I both have huge hearts for animals and enjoy taking on Rover jobs together! Being in our mid 20s, we have plenty of free time and we both have extremely flexible work schedules; this enable us to give the attention and time that your pets deserve! About Haley: My love for animals started from a young age; I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I was raised with 2 cats, a Golden Retriever, 2 Bull Terrier Mixes, and a Miniature Pinscher. I currently have 2 Chihuahuas and I’m hoping to add a Corgi and/or Bernese Mountain Dog to the family in the future! About Joe: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with a Weimaraner named Wimzy! She passed early last year after spending 13 wonderful years with my family. Haley: My flexible work schedule allows me to take care of pets at any time during the day or night. Joe: I work a non-traditional corporate work schedule. I am in the office Wednesday thru Saturday from 3am to the early afternoon. This gives me a pretty empty schedule to help with Rover cares or to stop by if Haley gets called into to work on short notice. We work as a team which really allows us to give the upmost care for your pet while they’re with us. We have a large yard, while it is unfenced, it is in a quiet neighborhood. Dogs will always be leashed for potty breaks for safety. If your dogs needs to unleash their zoomies there is a fenced in dog park just a short 5-minute walk away! Cats will find comfort in our quiet home with many cozy windowsills to snuggle up on. Toys & treats (with owner’s permission) are always provided!

About: I have taken care of dogs, along with several different exotic animals including reptiles, fresh and saltwater aquariums for over 15years. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their animals when needed. I work as a clinician for Northwestern Medicine and wanting to earn some extra cash in my downtime to help may down those pesky student loans. With taking care of your pet in your home, I maintain the same (or similar) schedule as you would normally have them on. I also make sure to keep an eye out for any odd behavior that might signal sickness or pain and communicate that to the pet parent and even take the animal to the vet if requested.

Hannah is absolutely wonderful with my Bentley! She is consistently reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She keeps me updated throughout the walk and makes sure my dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. My Bentley always comes home happy, relaxed, and excited to see Hannah everyday. I really appreciate Hannah's professionalism and care. I feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in great hands. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!

Brian has been a life saver for us! We had a complicated family emergency and Brian has been an invaluable and professional asset during this period. Brian has been such a great friend to Charlie, our dog. Charlie is so very excited when Brian comes, and since he's a big dog, we've really appreciative how well he responds to Brian. Brian has also been 100 percent reliable, extremely communicative, and very flexible. He has even helped my elderly mother bring in packages and other things that have become difficult for her. He's just a good human being! Brian is great with dogs and also with people. We so appreciate his help over the past several months.
