Dog Walking Deerfield

About: Hi, I’m Soojin! I recently moved to the Deerfield area and I truly love dogs, cats, and all animals. I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from curious little puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a bit more patience and gentle attention. Rover isn’t about money for me. It’s about sharing love and comfort with animals I miss so much since moving away from my own dogs in Korea. I enjoy calm walks, quiet companionship, and warm cuddles with furry friends. I would be so happy to give your pet the same care and affection I would give my own. My work schedule is flexible and my husband stays in home since he works in remote. We prefer to have dogs in weekend but weekdays are also fine! We have a green yard back of our place so dogs can easily go out for a walk. I have many experiences with senior dogs who doesn't want to go out very often, so I can fit any routine they need.

“Nicole was awesome. Bosco loved her. She was friendly, punctual and responsive. We highly recommend Nicole.”

About: I love every dog I meet and I love the chance to spend time letting them enjoy the outdoors. It's a huge responsibility to be trusted to walk with someone's family member, and I know the importance of the peace of mind that they have a safe person to get some air and do their business with. I'm an early riser and I would love to take a pup out in the mornings or afternoons. I am an audiobook narrator and I work from home. I do not care for pets in my home, but I'm happy to respectfully enter and secure your home when picking up your pup for a walk.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. From puppies/kittens to seniors and in between. And all sizes! I also have experience with special needs dogs, including my own collie who had lower jaw removal surgery. I’ve had 2 cats in this time from when they were young to seniors. I recently adopted 2 young cats who love people. For dogs, I’ve adopted dogs of all different ages with various health needs. I only occasionally go into the office and work from home Mon - Fri. I’m used to having multiple animals so I’m comfortable with whatever their schedule may need. I want to follow the routine you have created and anything else to make sure they feel comfortable in my home or yours. They will get lots of love and attention from me during our time together!

“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”

About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was in elementary school. I’ve been responsible for things like feeding them, walking them, and taking them out at night and in the morning Right now, my only commitments are on Sunday mornings, when I teach religious school in Deerfield. I’m looking for my next full time job currently, and heard about Rover through word of mouth. I’ll take your dog out first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. I’ll feed them right after they go out in the morning, and before I have dinner myself. I’ll also walk them at least once a day, weather dependent

“Scott spent quality time w/ Carl and its evident Carl is becoming very comfortable with Scott!”

“Josh was terrific! Our pitbull Lizzie thought he was great, too. Josh knows how to handle a dog, put on a complicated harness, and keep them on pace and well-behaved during the walk. We could tell Lizzie had a good time on the walk because she was wagging her tail and totally pooped out! Josh is reliable and mature. We look forward to booking him again!”

“Michael is amazing with my two large dogs, one of which is reactive. He is patient, kind, and a great communicator about what’s going on with them. They have really improved on leash walking with him. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Christine! Animals have been part of my life for over 30 years, and I’ve learned that caring for them means understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. My own dog, Dakota, is an 8-year-old Plott Hound who has been my companion on countless adventures, including road trips through 21 states and six years living in the high desert mountains of Arizona! Dakota has also undergone two TPLO surgeries, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, consistency, and commitment involved in helping a dog recover. Her rehabilitation is part of our daily routine, and I’m dedicated to keeping her healthy, comfortable, and enjoying life for years to come. That same attentiveness carries over into the care I provide for other animals. Whether it’s a senior pet who needs a slower pace, an anxious pet who needs patience and reassurance, or an energetic dog who loves a good walk, I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable and happy. I believe great pet care is about more than completing a checklist. It’s about being present, paying attention, and treating each animal as an individual. As a certified wellness instructor and life coach, I’ve spent years working with people and understanding the importance of patience, trust, and individualized care. I bring those same qualities to caring for animals. I enjoy being outdoors, walking, and spending time with animals of all personalities. Whether your pet enjoys exploring the neighborhood, taking a leisurely stroll, or simply having some quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them at their own pace. I maintain my own professional schedule, allowing me to thoughtfully plan my pet care commitments and give each visit the attention it deserves. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets and entering your home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special considerations. I follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and pay attention to the little details that help your pet feel safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Dog lover with 10+ years of experience 🐶💛 I have my own American Akita he's 10 years old, so I know how to care for dogs with love and patience. I’ve trained and raised my dog myself, walked dogs for neighbors, and now I also work with small puppies at puppy yoga sessions🧘‍♀️✨ I’m friendly, loving and treat every dog like my own so your pup will feel safe, happy, and loved with me!🫶🏻 I currently have a part-time job, so I’m available on weekdays in the mornings until 2:30 PM, and again in the evenings after 5:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available on Sundays and can be flexible with timing. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority 🙏 I carefully follow all instructions from owners, including feeding, walking routines, and any special needs. I always keep dogs on a leash during walks and stay alert to the environment to avoid any stressful situations. I create a calm, safe, and loving space where your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure your dog is happy, relaxed, and well cared for at all times🤗❤️

About: I've taken care of many types of dogs. I loved going to volunteer to walk dogs at the shelter in college. We hosted many fundraisers for that pet shelter, too. I've had dogs from old to young stay at my apartment and have cared for each one. Some for a day and some for weeks. I really love dogs. I'm currently working part-time and looking to keep myself busy while doing something I love. I will be free most of the week to walk your dog. All I ask is early communication. I will always keep a vigilant eye on and be proactive with certain areas. I will make sure I keep your pet out of harm's way to the best of my ability. I will always be proactive and mindful of outside factors.

About: The dogs I have taken care of have always received excellent tlc. I am able to use commands, for example sit, stay, and place! I have experience with senior dogs administering oral medication. I will keep a close eye on the geriatric dogs and make sure they don’t have any issues. I am very flexible when it comes to caring for pets. I’ll be able to get to the pets as soon as I get off of work. If I don’t work then I’ll usually be open all day. I work 7a-3p. I’m off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Unfortunately I cannot provide boarding in my apartment because it’s a 2 pet policy. When I’m in the clients home I’ll let the pet roam freely. I will also pick up after they do their business. I feel that a dog and human bond is really unbreakable, so I will be comfortable with any pet that I connect with. I’ll also need to know where things are, I.e food, treats, leash.

“I’m sorry you didn’t have better weather for the walks. Thank you for coming by and walking Marley even when it was cold and raining outside!”

About: I volunteer at the Buddy Foundation. I have owned dogs my whole life, sometimes 3 at a time. I have sat for many of my friends pets. I currently adopted a thirteen year old Bishon, after putting down my Wrigley of eighteen years. I work part-time. So I have a lot of free time and energy to take care and to play with other animimals. My routine care is based on my senior dog. It is dependent on his needs not mine. Their schedule is my schedule. If their happy, I'm happy. I care for any dog as if it was my child. I am an animal lover and enjoy my time with them. I also a walker and enjoy having a furry friend at my side.
