“We’ve been lucky enough to have Arlene as our dog walker for the past year, and she’s truly even better than all the glowing reviews say! Our pup is the sweetest, but also pretty anxious, and Arlene understood her right from the start. We completely trust her with our dog’s safety and care, and she always keeps us in the loop with real-time updates. Plus, she shares thoughtful tips and suggestions that really make a difference. We are so grateful to have found her!”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide frequent opportunities for them to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.

About: Animals have always been a special part of my life. For the past 8 years, I have cared for my own pets as well as the dogs and other pets of family and friends. I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I truly enjoy being around animals and getting to know their individual personalities. I am patient and attentive, and I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Before accepting a booking, I like to meet the pet and their owner first. I think a meet-and-greet is important so we can get to know each other, talk about the pet’s routine and needs, and make sure we are a good fit. Your comfort is just as important to me as your pet’s. When your pet is with me, I will give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are in loving hands. I would be very happy to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time during the week to care for and spend time with your pets. I am available for dog walks Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your dog’s usual walking routine and give them some exercise, fresh air, and companionship while you’re away! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home. I have many years of experience working in other people’s homes as a nanny and as a trusted member of my community, so I understand the importance of being respectful, responsible, and considerate of someone’s space and belongings. When caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets have fresh water and food, and their environment is clean and safe. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I take that trust seriously and will treat both your pet and your home with care, kindness, and respect.

About: Our pets are our best friends and family, allow me to give them the care and attention they deserve! I understand the importance of routine and attention required when keeping pets happy and healthy. I know I can never quite be as good as our furry friends favorite humans, but I do ensure comfort, saftey and communication with all of my sits. I am fully self employed and happy to be flexible for you and your pet family! When discussing your pets routine don't be afraid to be specific with details, the better information you can give me, the better I can serve and customize my service to your pets needs. I do not currently offer care within my own home due to limited space but I am very happy to care for your pets within your own home or by taking them to a trail or park where they can be their happiest and most comfortable. I love going on adventures with pups to the beach or trail if that's interesting to you and your furbaby & I ensure safety and security by giving your pet my full attention on outings. I always make sure to be cautious on entering and exiting incase of curious cats or door dashing dogs. I like to provide a calm environment to keep our fur family content while they are missing you by playing soothing music or nature videos. I love being outside so I am happy to ensure your pup gets lots of fresh air rain or shine!

About: I treat every pet like family - with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! What sets me apart is my personalized, compassionate care. From playful pups needing training and fun walks to seniors needing meds and gentle attention - I'm here for it all! Pet care is a joyful part of my routine, and I build my schedule around it. I am available weekends and various weekdays for walks, and drop-ins. Whether it's a puppy needing playtime or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm flexible and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe. With a fenced yard and nearby parks, they'll enjoy playtime, cuddles, and fun adventures - plus personalized care and consistent routines.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to work with energetic puppies who need consistency, positive reinforcement, and help learning good habits, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra attention, and a little more patience. I believe in following each pet’s established routine, paying attention to changes in behavior, and treating every animal with kindness and respect. As a pet owner myself, I know these animals are family, not just pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your four-legged family members are in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I believe animals thrive on consistency, attention, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining their regular feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and rest. I plan my time around the needs of the pets in my care so they receive dependable attention rather than being treated like another item on a checklist. I'm comfortable getting outdoors for walks and play, as well as slowing down for pets who prefer a quieter pace. I also understand the importance of keeping owners updated, following their instructions, and making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable while they're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that fits each pet's individual routine. My approach to pet care is built on patience, attentiveness, and respect for each animal's individual needs. In a client's home, I do my best to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I follow the owner's instructions carefully, keep their home tidy, and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I pay attention to each pet's personality and comfort level, whether that means getting outside for exercise and exploration, spending time playing, or simply providing calm company. I'm also mindful of safety, keeping pets secure and watching for changes in their behavior or well-being. When caring for pets in my own home, I would prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, while making sure any arrangements are appropriate for the pet's temperament and needs. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience and respect I'd want someone to show my own pets, and I want owners to feel confident that their companions are in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember. I had both a cat and a dog as a small child. As a teen, I had 2 additional puppies, both of which I took care of and helped potty train. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters with the Honor Society in high school. In high school, I pet sit for neighbors who went out of town for weeks, many of whom still bring their dogs to my home despite me now living an hour away. I am a recent Northwestern University graduate currently taking a gap year before grad school. Since I am no longer in school, my hours are extremely flexible. I believe there is no better way to destress than spending quality time with fur babies. I care for every pet as though they are my own. Any rules that you have for your baby (i.e not getting on furniture), I will enforce as though they are my own rules. As a vegan, I am morally against physically reprimanding our 4 legged friends. I instead reward good behavior with treats, words of encouragement etc.

About: I love all kinds of dogs, no matter what shape or size! I have 5 years of experience both puppy-sitting and dog-sitting for family and friends, from 10lbs to over 100! I am able to accommodate any special needs your dog has, including medications. I will make sure to recognize any limitations that your dog has. For example, I’ve dog-sat dogs with arthritis and reactive pups as well. In addition, I am willing to adapt according to your pup’s regular schedule. I have a fenced backyard but I am willing and able to do multiple daily walks and enjoy playing with and entertaining them as well. My goal is to make both you and your furry friend happy! I am currently working from home! I have a flexible schedule, so if your dog has time based specific needs I will be able to meet them. *Disclaimer: I am not available to provide constant care. Constant care is a premium service designed for pets that cannot be left alone for medical or non-medical reasons. This includes animals that have accidents overnight or when the sitter leaves for more than 4 hours during the booking dates.* I have no other animals and a fenced backyard. I have one set of front stairs that your dog will need to be able to climb unless they are small enough to carry! I don’t mind dogs on my furniture.

“Rufus loved Tony! He was very confident dealing with one very big dog.”

“Karina has been one of the top consistent walkers over the past year. Maisey simply adores her and we are blessed she is part of our routine. I would highly recommend her.”

Jason R.

“David has done a very nice job with our 80lb German Shorthaired Pointer. We have hired David to come for midday walks while we are back in the office. He is timely and very good at communicating before, during, and after the walks. We're very happy with the quality care David shows for our Charlie-dog.”

About: Hi, my name is Matt! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog walker based right here in Chicago. I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs as well as my family’s, and I know how important it is to trust the person walking your pup. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk through the neighborhood, or just some extra playtime, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Your dog’s safety and joy are always my top priorities. I treat every pup as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection along the way. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make their walks the best part of their day! 🐾 Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I walk my own dog every day, and I regularly care for my family’s dogs as well. That means feeding, walking, playing, and giving them the attention they need is already built into my schedule. Because of this, adding Rover clients into my week feels seamless—I’m used to organizing my day around pet care and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, love, and consistency. I also keep a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit in morning, afternoon, or evening walks depending on what works best for each pup and their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. That includes feeding on schedule, refreshing water, giving daily walks, playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m careful to keep the home clean, follow any special instructions (like medications or diet needs), and make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. If pets are with me in my home, I provide a safe, welcoming environment where they’re treated like family. They’ll have space to relax, regular walks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, secure, and cared for—just like they would with their own family.

“Great and very thoughtful!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have worked in an animal shelter and vet clinic as a veterinary assistant caring for a variety of animals. I have had the privilege of fostering 100 animals (mostly neonatal and orphaned kittens!). I currently have three cats and an 18 year old Crested Gecko. Two of my cats are fosters that never left- both have cererbellar hypoplasia, or better known as wobbly cat syndrome! I have pet sat for many kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Please note: I do not use flexi/retractible leashes to ensure safety. I am happy to bring my own slip lead or standard leash. Please, let me know if you have questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I typically have afternoons and weekends free. I would love to learn more about what your pet’s specific care needs are! I want to hear all about your pet! What do they like, what don’t they like? What are their quirks and preferences? I want to learn about them because I want to make sure I am caring for them the way you would.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for pets, I provide reliable and compassionate care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve grown up with everything from a loyal German Shepherd to a tiny guinea pig and currently house a 14-year-old dachshund and an 11-year-old calico cat with chronic illness. I also have experience with exotic pets, including snakes, and understand the unique needs of older and special-needs animals. While I welcome dogs and other pets into my home, I do not take in other cats to prevent the spread of Feline Herpes Virus. Rest assured, your cat’s health is a top priority, and this precaution ensures their safety, as the virus is only transmissible through fluid contact. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or quality companionship, I’m here to make sure your beloved pets are happy, healthy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible and open schedule, allowing me to prioritize your pet’s needs. Being unemployed at the moment gives me the unique ability to adapt to most schedules, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits. I’m dedicated to providing consistent, attentive care and can easily adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine, ensuring they get the love and attention they deserve whenever needed. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I ensure their routine stays as consistent as possible to minimize stress. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and any special care needs. I make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe, keeping their environment clean and giving them plenty of attention and affection. For drop-in visits, I check in on your pets at the scheduled times, providing food, water, and any necessary care, including walks or litter box cleaning. I also send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. If I’m providing pet walking services, I prioritize your pet’s safety and enjoyment by sticking to your preferred routes and maintaining proper control. I ensure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need while keeping them safe and comfortable. Whether sitting, walking, or stopping by, I treat your pets like family, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness.

About: I am an animal lover who’s been taking care of dogs since I was small I’ve watched family members pets walked them to parks and believe in spending quality time with our pets. If you need quick answers please feel free to call me. I am open through the weekends all day but when it comes to weekdays there might be restrictions but if I can get an email or a text I could see if I have time I am very flexible with my schedule as long as I am given a little time to prepare I make sure to follow up with feeding a dog first to give them time to digest their food and then playing with them because animals need love and companionship and after I would take the dog for a long walk because they need air and I find it helps them end their night right but if I was to start earlier in the day everything would be two to three times depending on the type of dog

About: I love my dogs so much! I had dogs since I was 8 and now I'm taking care of 3. I've always taken care of them by bathing, feeding, walking them to the park, and making sure each dog gets time to play with me. Hi! I'm on summer break so I'm doing dog care full time:)) I can go over to walk and take care of your children(doggie(s)) or bring them over to have play dates! I used to take care of 3 doggies for many years and now im ready to take care of more! There is a lot of space for your pet to run around in my apartment and a near by park to walk to:)

“Sarah is so great with Vern and helpful with last minute bookings. She provides photos and videos which I love when I’m on the road! Wonderful walker for us.”
