“We love Hillary! Especially Charlie! He is an energetic mid-size dog who can be an "excitable boy" as in happy. Still, he's pretty strong. Hillary walked in and within 10 minutes had him sitting calmly and dropping a piece of junk mail he grabbed. Amazing! Hillary is calm and flexible with her time if I need to deviate from our set schedule. She just loves Charlie and he loves her right back. He knows when she's here before I do, boops my hand with his nose as in hurry up (!) and tears over to the front door. Last time she left, he sat at the gate watching her go, crying. I swear, she's just the best. Hire her. She really is a dog whisperer!”

About: I've been surrounded by the pets of friends and family for my whole life, as a college student, I love petsitting over summer break! I've worked with a diverse range of animals, providing care such as baths, walks, feeding, and most importantly, cuddling! I have experience with dogs with anxiety who need medication as well. I have tons of free time over summer break, and I'd love to help out with your furry friends. Currently on summer break, so pet care would fit seamlessly into my schedule. I'm used to dedicating my summers to animal care, so driving to multiple locations for feedings/walks multiple times a day, or overnight stays, is no problem. I live in an apartment with no front or back yard but am located right across the street from a large park. It may be a little small, but there is more than enough room for animals to roam around. As for pet care outside of the home, I take these duties very seriously and am more than happy to visit multiple times a day, or as necessary. I also frequently take pictures/videos to send updates, and am happy to do so at your immediate request.

“Kelly has walked our dog many times and she is a great choice for your dog walker or pet sitter! Our dog adores her and is excited any time she comes for a walk. Kelly is reliable, conscientious and flexible. If you are looking for a dependable person your dog will love book Kelly!”

“Maria was very nice and did great with our sometimes-high-strung dog. He liked her immediately and was happy to go for a walk with her even though he sometimes has separation anxiety. We're planning to book with her again.”

About: I am a huge animal person. I have had 2 cats and 2 dogs my whole life. They are all at different stages of life, one of my dogs and both of my cats being either senior citizens or leg- amputees. I have a very large, young, and energetic dog as well. I can take of pets at any age or with disabilities, and I love them all! I love to help animals. I’m currently home for the Summer without a full time job so my schedule is very open! I am pretty much open any day or any time needed! I love to play with dogs or cats and I want them to feel safe at all times! I can do whatever they may need on potty breaks or visits, and walks as well. I am very attentive on walks and such because I have a big dog who is quiet the puller on walks, so I am used to it!

“Joshua walks our dog everday during the week and he is great. We can tell by the pictures our dog enjoys his time with Josh. He will also contact me or my fiancee if anything is out of the ordinary. I highly recommend using Joshua as a dogwalker!”

“Leslie is amazing you can tell she is super passionate about animals and is very loving with my dog! Her updates after the walks are also hilarious and they make my day!”

“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

Katharina W.

“Sergio is great and very compassionate individual to walk my dog Rosie! He listened and in detail about handling Rosie with being a large breed puppy. Highly recommend Sergio!”

About: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀

“Colleen saved us and was able to walk our two girls while we were away on business. She loved them as if they were her own. Thank you Colleen!”

Allen J.

“He was great with Maverick! My pup came back tired and still wanting to play with him, a true testament to the quick bond they shared. He was very friendly, punctual, and was available at a last minute’s notice. Highly recommend him!!”

About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.

“Mya has been super responsive when arranging dog walking with me and a total sweetheart with my anxious little guy. She’s a wonderful walker, I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had dogs and cats growing up and pet sat all through college. My husband and I had a dog earlier in our marriage - we loved her while she lived with us. We have had our friends dogs over at our home overnight while they are on vacation to "dog-sit". Our kids love pets and enjoy hosting the pets of our friends. We are home all day almost every day. Our kids are part of a hybrid school so we have lots of flexibility. We have plenty of time and space to make your pet happy and comfortable and to take care of their needs. We have a big house that can accommodate all of your pets needs and a huge fenced in back yard. We also live close to parks and the forest preserve is a short 7min drive away if needed.

About: Hi I am Kathleen or Kat. I have been passionate about animals my entire life, caring for them through my own pets as well as fostering volunteering and rescuing. I have had a very wide array of animal species throughout my lifetime and I passionate about providing them with the highest level of care. I believe the animals are part of our families that need to be treated with the same level of care as any family member. I am experienced with animals of all ages. I am passionate about advocating for bully breeds and am very experienced with their care and handling. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule so I can plan around the care of your pet. Let's work together so that we can ensure that your pet has exceptional care. I would like to meet with you and know how things are routine within your home and provide the same level of care as you would yourself. I am committed to treating your pets with the same level of love and care that I do my own.
