About: I am a responsible and attentive pet lover with personal experience owning and caring for cats. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, well-fed, and comfortable. I excel at strictly following detailed instructions for feeding, walking, and care routines to ensure your pet stays happy and stress-free while you are away. I am currently a college student with a flexible part-time schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have plenty of time available on weekends as well as flexible hours on weekdays for walking, feeding, and house visits.

About: Hi! I am Annie Abrams! I grow up with my home full of animals, I love taking care of my dogs and cats! I’m good at caring for cats and dogs of different personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any special care they require. I’m also very attentive to changes in a pet’s behavior and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m especially flexible during weekdays and can usually accommodate different schedules with advance notice. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. In my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it.

I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“I had such a great experience with Angela while I was away! Communication was always easy and consistent, and I felt very comfortable knowing Max was in good hands. What made me feel even better was seeing how quickly Max got comfortable with her. Every time he saw her, he would wag his tail and get so excited, which gave me so much peace of mind because I could tell he was happy and felt safe with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk their dog. I would absolutely use her again anytime I need someone to take care of Max. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him! ❤️”
About: I’ve lived and cared for animals for most of my life. I had a Yorkie named Ben who was gifted to me by a family member in 2012. He was my little shadows for nine wonderful years until he sadly passed away from heart failure in 2021. I also had a ginger cat named Suco, a fiesty but loving outdoor kitty who brought so much joy and personality to my home. He live a long and happy life until he passed away from old age in 2024. Through caring for my childhood pets they taught me so much like how to patient, attentive and nurturing with pets of different personalities and needs. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling, I’m a part time student who attends class twice a week. But the rest of the week I’m available. I care for my pets as if they were family members and I like to focus on making them feel safe and comfortable first. It takes time getting to know each pets personality and routines.
About: The first dog that I fell in love with was Charlie, my best friend’s beagle. I cared for him for weeks at a time, and that’s when I realized how much I enjoy looking after dogs. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for several pets, both on and off the books, and each experience has made me love it even more. Although I’ve never owned a dog myself, I have a deep respect and appreciation for them. I understand the dedication, planning, and responsibility that goes into making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. As much as we wish we could bring our pets everywhere, sometimes the best choice is leaving them in a place where they feel at home. That’s the experience I aim to provide: reliable and thoughtful care that supports your pet’s comfort without requiring you to sacrifice your plans. I am currently unemployed and I live with my parents (who also love dogs), so there’s almost always someone home. I was working at Central Park for these last few months, but now that the season is over I can dedicate myself to working my dream job… along with finding a career that goes with my degree. I’ve cared for dogs both in my own home and in clients’ homes. Our quiet neighborhood has plenty of small parks and green spaces for quick walks or a good 30–35 minute wander. I also have a ground-floor apartment with a fenced backyard where dogs can roam, zoom, or take care of their business when a full walk isn’t ideal. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow whatever routine works best for their dog. I can stay overnight or visit in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and light grooming. My priority is keeping each dog comfortable by sticking to the routine they know.
“Janet is amazing with my dog Luke. He enjoys his time with her. She takes Luke on nice long walks which he can’t get enough of. He comes home super happy and ready for a nap. I highly recommend her”
“Briana has been amazing! Very puntual, polite and great communication skills. My 2 pups adore her. She has also been flexible to help me when i am working late and my pups need afternoon walks. I will continue booking with her.”
“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 decades. I’ve helped train dogs, provided prescribed medication, assisted in emergencies and give lots of puppy pats. I’ve worked with 15- year-old chihuahuas and 6 month old Labrador puppies without any issue or worry. Overall, I’ve been a pet owner and understand how important it is to feel comfortable putting your dog in a new situation. So I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My main priority is that your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for until your return. I’m a freelancer and I usually can work remotely, so I have the freedom to schedule my week as I see fit. That means I can take dogs out multiple times in a day, without it disrupting my schedule. In my home, I live in an apartment which means I take dogs out every 2 hours. Depending on their size and energy I take longer or shorter walks. And at other people homes I’m happy to follow specific instructions but, as my own set of rules, I make sure to clean any messes I find on the property, if a vacuum is available I’m happy to vacuum hair/fur, especially if the pet owner is away for more than 5 days, I’m always available to communicate if any owner wants to check in with me and of course I’m happy to face time if you’d like to check in on your pet. I usually send and end of day message with a picture of your pup and a review of our day.

Stop scrolling and just book Shamira already. Her communication is lightning-fast, she’s impeccably punctual, and the photo updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was out. Most importantly, my dog took to her immediately and always returned home happy, relaxed, and perfectly content. Finding someone this reliable, respectful, and naturally skilled with dogs in the city is rare. Shamira is the real deal, book her before her schedule fills up!
Brandon is amazing! My dogs are a little older and need a little more time to walk, he's patient and caring with them! Responsive and came out of his way to meet my boys before their walk to understand what they need and ask questions to give them the best experience. Highly recommend!
Cat was amazing with my 70 lb. dog, Buddy. She was very professional, reliable, and had a calming influence on both my dog and cat, so much so that my dog danced around when he knew she was coming. She took him for several 30 minute walks a day and he always came back happy. I would absolutely hire her again.
Mikhail was awesome! He was super responsive, arrived right on time, and made the whole experience really easy. During the walk, he kept me updated with photos and messages, asked whether Iris would normally poop on her walks, and took the time to learn about her routine, like making sure she stayed away from bushes she likes to chew on. He also remembered to wipe her paws before bringing her back inside, just like I asked. He paid attention to the little details, communicated throughout the walk, and it was clear he wanted to provide the best experience possible for Iris. I'd definitely book Mikhail again and highly recommend him.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your East Elmhurst. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Elmhurst. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
