Dog Walkers in Chatham, IL

“We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.”

“Saved me for a last minute week long need of walking. She kindly returned back to my home to let Alice out to pee a second time due to scheduling issues. Alice is always happy when I come home after her walks.”

“Very dependable. Excellent with my schnauzer.”

“Kristina is fantastic! Always takes great care of my dog whenever I can’t be there. I feel as though she treats my dog like her own and cares about her. It is clear she has a true love for animals.”

“Amanda Nerone is a pet lover extraordinaire! I never worry for even a second when she is caring for my dog/s. She does exactly what is asked, and then some. I’ve spoken to a few of her friends that have left their pets in her care and they say the same thing. She loves and cares for them as her own! I highly recommend Amanda to the Rover team. You will be so glad you asked her aboard!”

“Laura was wonderful! I booked last minute and she was so helpful! As this being my first time using Rover I will be booking again & hopefully with Laura! Zeus enjoyed his time with her as well!”

About: I’ve been using Rover for the past two years and I absolutely love it! I love animals and this has got to be one of my favorite jobs. I grew up with two dogs and I’ve loved every second. The oldest is 14, so she’s been apart of my life for the majority! I’ve also dog sat for fellow neighbors and friends dogs. I also babysit! :) so feel free to reach out about that as well. I am currently enrolled at Purdue, but I am home for the summer! As of right now, I nanny every other week, so I’d love to use my free time wisely! In my hometown, I lived in a neighborhood by the country, so going on nature walks with my dogs was one of the best past times.

“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of Aldo. She went out of her way to give him extra long walks and made sure he was well taken care of. I would absolutely hire her again.”

“AJ is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to taking care of my dog, Hunter, and cat, Oliver. From the first time we met, I could feel their genuine love for animals, and it instantly put me at ease. AJ is not just a pet sitter, he’s become an extended part of our family. He always goes the extra mile, sending me updates and adorable photos, which always make my day. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who treats your fur babies with the same love and devotion as you do, AJ is your guy! I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of an exceptional pet caregiver.”

“Our sitter was a no show for memorial weekend we contacted Kari and she agreed to watch our 200 pound baby! Thank you for stepping up, our holiday weekend was a success. Kari will be our new dog sitter.”

“Sarah was wonderful with our dogs! She took them for a long walk which they love. Oliver and Oreo really liked Sarah also. She was very patient and loving toward the dogs! Sarah has a great personality which is very much suited to dog walking/care!! Thank you, Sarah!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I began helping my parents care for our pets when I was a toddler. As a teenager, I showed my dogs in the 4-H show. I grew up with Boxers and I currently have a Pit Bull mix. I also know dog CPR. I am available almost every Wednesday and the weekend unless I'm on call for work. I may also be available in the late evening some weekdays. Feel free to ask me about my schedule and I will see if I am available to care for your fur babies on the day and time you need me 🙂 Have a young or hyper dog? I’m up for long runs, as I run with my dogs and have taken them for long walks up to 5 miles. I’m also up for a short slow walk for the smaller or older dogs.

“John has been caring for pets as if they’re his own for many years. I am a pet sitter as well and I’ve used John as a backup for a long time and all my furry clients have always been happy. He’ll care for your pets just like they’re his own.”

“Ashley is an amazing dog sitter. She is very accommodating and conscientious. She set aside time before our trip to come to our home to get acquainted with our dogs. She is also easy to communicate with and is very responsive via text or phone call. Our dogs were very happy and well cared for. We would rather cancel our trip, than have someone we weren’t comfortable with caring for our dogs. We feel very blessed to have found Ashley!”

About: Hi!! I’m Jessie 🐾 I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life! But I really got into it while I got my Bacehlors of Science degree in Zoology at SIUC. I then worked at a dog boarding facility where we boarded dogs during the day and overnight, did baths, and doggie daycare. I of course always owned my own dogs and cats. I then worked at a Pet Hospital where I assisted in surgeries, drawing blood on cats and dogs, giving vaccines, giving medications via injections or orally. A lot of times at the dog boarding facilities we would train puppies during the day, and of course I’ve had many puppies of my own. I’m currently working full time. I do work remote (at home) Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I could take a fur baby out in the morning 6am-7am, 12:30-1pm, and 3:30pm-4:30pm. Weekends are open!! I can do late nights Tuesdays and Thursday as well. Message me and we could always discuss more in detail, I’m flexible!! I will care for every animal like it’s my own! So many kisses, hugs and snuggles!! I’ll treat your house with respect. With my animal handling experience and vet assistant knowledge your pets will always be safe with me!

“Jenna has been watching my dogs on occasion for a few years now. They adore her and have the best time with her. They even flip my reclining chair out of excitement when she comes over! They’re always well taken care of and loved on in Jenna’s care. I will forever use Jenna to watch my pups!”

“Angelly takes care of my furbaby Snowball like it’s her own. She’s great about sending an update every day when housesitting and I can always count on her to be on time. 10/10 recommend!”

“Casey was absolutely amazing. I have very high energy dogs. She sent pictures and updates. Her communication was just what I needed while away about the pups. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve used a lot of sitters for my three dogs in the past and the first time Mackenzie watched them, I knew I made the right choice. We love her and ask for her all the time now!”
