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.
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!
About: I have a dog of my own who is very spoiled, loving, and definitely a little needy, so I’m very comfortable giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I’ve also cared for larger dogs, including Golden Retrievers, and I’m comfortable keeping up with their energy and needs. I’ve had experience staying overnight at clients’ homes to care for their pets, making sure they’re comfortable and following their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, care, and love I give my own I currently work M, T, Th, F from 8 AM–6 PM. I’m fully available on Wednesdays and throughout the weekend, which gives me plenty of flexibility for overnight stays, longer visits, walks, and other pet care. For weekday bookings, I’m happy to discuss what works best around my work schedule. I’ll always communicate clearly ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs and routine are taken care of. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their surroundings, routines, and individual needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, which is why I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, communicate with you throughout the booking, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own.
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 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
“Jenny was amazing with Shortcake. She took my chunk out on walks for me twice a day while I was away on a business trip. I love the photo updates and could tell that shortcake was really enjoying her time. I came hope to a very happy and well adjusted dog. I highly recommend Jenny!”

“Samantha took great care of our pup. Sent us pictures and a recap every day. Our pup seemed to be really responsive to Samantha. I will definitely be using Samantha again. She is very caring of our pup.”
“Haven was so great with our dog. She was available on short notice and went above and beyond to take care of our dog that has anxiety. He felt very comfortable with her right away. I would highly recommend Haven as a dog walker/sitter!”
About: I genuinely care about pets and believe they don’t “deserve us” being the most innocent, trustworthy, loyal and caring creatures. I will use all my caring skills and personal training skills acquired form my experience to deliver the best care and still have fun with the pets if they wish so! I’m currently working part time so I am open to met care from Friday to Sunday most of the time, and even evening or night during the week. I have an intense balcony on the 1st floor of the apartment which gives pets the space they need if they want to be outdoors , a large park 5 minutes away where I could take the dogs for a walk or run. At home it’s more relaxed and open- no fences or specific restrictions. Cushiony and soft couches for the cats as well as quiet space with a large window for them to view the outdoors.
“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!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Deerfield
Chloe was great with Ellie and I am sure Ellie would give her four stars…. and bunches of puppy kisses. Chloe impressed me with her punctuality and positive energy. Most remarkable was her determination to get to Ellie on time last Monday despite the ongoing major storm. She faught thru severe weather and hazardous driving conditions to get to Ellie and keep her calm and safe. If I could give Chloe a medal I would but will have to settle for a tip to say thank you so very much.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
