“Carolyn is so caring, responsible, and thoughtful! I feel very lucky to have her take care of my dog. And he is SO excited when she gets here to walk him! We both think she is amazing!”

“Chloe was very professional and scheduled a meeting prior to taking care of our senior Yorkie. She walked him several times a day for three days. She was on time for every walk and he was well taken care of. Thank you Chloe!!!”

“Alphonse is the best! He came today even though it was so cold. Had I known it was below 0 degrees I would have canceled today. Neither Alphonse nor my dog should have been out. They started their walk and Norma showed that she was cold and her paws were suffering. I’m so grateful that he had the good sense to bring her home before the scheduled end to her walk!”


“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”


“Brian did an outstanding job taking care of our “family member” Gage. He was able to follow all the directions (believe me they are pretty complicated) we had provided and did not miss a beat. Great communication as well. Will definitely use Brian again.”

About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.
About: Individual approach - I take into account the needs of each pet, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Responsible and attentive to details - I carefully monitor the diet, walks and general condition of the pet. Love and care - sincere love and care for animals makes my care heartfelt and warm. I work from home. My flexible work schedule allows me to schedule walks and feedings at a convenient time. Pets can feel safe and receive attention when they need it. Animals are not left alone for long periods of time and do not experience anxiety or stress. I have a fenced yard - this makes caring for your pets easier and more comfortable, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them to enjoy active recreation
“Kaitlyn F is fabulous! First time Rover users and we connected with Kaitlyn. She made us feel very comfortable leaving the dogs with her. She tolerated the negative degree weather and took excellent care of our two doodles. Thank you so much! See you next time.”

About: I was raised on a farm, love animals and will take care of yours as if they were my own! They will always have love!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. The last 5 years I’ve had more experience with all kinds of breeds and sizes! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and look after their pets! I am current a college student and my late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open to new clients for needs such as dog walking or checking ins. Based on the clients needs and rules of their household for their pet. The pet is given the upmost respectful treatment, loved on, and spoiled!
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. Above all, I treat every pet like my own—offering love, patience, and attentive care to ensure they feel happy and secure while their owner is away!

“Cecilia came to our rescue since our dog needed attention while we were gone for Thanksgiving. She’s friendly, loves dogs, and treats them very well! Hope to have her back again!”

“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”


About: Thank you to all of our past Friends, we have since moved to a larger home in Cary, Illinois. I have had dogs my whole life. My current Lab caught news nationwide when I refused to give him up in a custody battle. I won. He currently is behind a first one of a kind law being presented in Illinois that will view pets as living breathing beings during divorce. Currently our pets have no voice in such matters. I am opposed to Yulin festival, and a strong animal advocate that actually offers speaking engagements based on my experience and published work regarding animal welfare issues. I own my own business and work from home much of the time. The dog will always be attended to while we keep a clean house. We have a Fenced yard and now only own one dog since Pepper has passed away recently. We live roomy house with extra space to stretch out.

“Merry Christmas to you, Kathleen and John! Thank you for taking care of Pixie for Amanda! We appreciate your help! Many Blessings to you and yours in the New Year!!”

"Carolyn provided incredible care for our dog while we were in Florida for 5 weeks. She visited twice a week, was always on time, and sent great updates and photos after every walk. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and communicative walker!" We will definitely contact her again in the future!
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.
