“Dana is now my go to dog Walker! My dog Duke loves her and is always excited to see her. She responds very promptly and gives many great updates and pictures on their walks. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have over four years of experience caring for dogs of neighbors, family, and other families in my town including walking, feeding, and providing companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and gentle with every animal in my care. I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for them! I’m currently a student at the University of Illinois with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care and I am home in Glen Ellyn for summers to do the same. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays at your home. I prioritize consistency and stick to the routine you have for your pet! I prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in their own homes. During drop-in visits and walks, I follow all instructions closely, keep pets secure on a leash, and ensure doors and gates are properly locked. I treat every home with respect and provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel comfortable and safe.
“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”
“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and needs! I also have experience caring for felines and chinchillas! I am experienced in administering medications! I currently work from home but am available for short potty breaks in the Lombard area! Also available nights and weekends! I can also do house sitting! I have worked with people who have fenced in back yards and people who do not and utilize leads and am comfortable with either. I like to watch potty breaks, even if the yard is fenced in to making sure nothing is ingested outside!
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and birds, with some experience pet sitting for friends and family. I am a quick learner with great attentinon to detail, aiming to keep all pets happy and healthy! I am currently on a gap year prior to grad school and have very open availability for the summer months. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. Safety is of the utmost importance. I always ensure that collars and leashes are secure prior to walks, and that doors are closed and locked.
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
“Louie is very particular about the company he keeps. He adores Cherri and enjoys going on walks with her. We were very grateful and very relieved that he has a new friend.🙂”
“Thank you for taking care of Maddox yesterday Jennifer! I know that she enjoyed having a visitor and getting to go out during a long day. I’m sorry that she barked a little at the beginning! She is so sweet though. I will be sure to let you know if she needs anything more, and she will love working with you. Thank you”
About: I've had pets nearly all of my life and love all types of animals, whether domesticated pets or seeing animals while backpacking in the wilderness. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to visit your pets during the week. My schedule is flexible for dog walking and/or visits in your home. Pets are members of our families. Just like anyone, they deserve our trust and need to feel safe. Every pet is unique and I believe it's important to get to know each pet's personality.
“Catherine is wonderful with our 10 month old lab Lincoln!! He is strong and high energy but she is somehow able to walk him and wear him out for us :) she's also helped us out when we're in a pinch or out of town - she's the best!”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
About: Dog owner for 17 years, cat owner my whole life. I’m very active love long walks and cuddles. I just lost my 15 year old dog so I’m familiar with senior care and we currently have a puppy so I’m dealing with that so I can handle anything. I work from home so I can do before work (early mornings), midday and afternoons. I can stop in for feedings and or walks. Maybe just cuddles if that’s needed. Fenced yard, 2 friendly dogs. I can stop by for feedings/walks. Very trustworthy mom of 3 grown children. My pups are my world and I know you feel the same about yours.
About: I have taken care of my bunnies since I was 10 and my dogs since I was 14. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their animals and often recommend me to their loved ones. I work three days a week at the hospital, so I am very flexible in scheduling. I am still available to take care of pets on days that I work because I can visit them before or after my shift. I am a loving pet sitter and will make sure your fur baby gets the care they deserve. I am very capable of following complex diets or routines as well.
“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”
About: My wife, son and I have taken care of pets our entire lives. Currently, we have only one elderly cat with special medical needs. Recently retired, we would love to adopt a dog but our frequent travel (to visit grandchildren) makes that a challenge. That travel helps us understand the stress and anxiety of leaving a pet in the care of others. We enjoy walking and playing with dogs (and cats!) and enjoy being in our yard, which opens to a field in the back, perfect for fetch. We will fill the day with a lot of activity and attention in a safe and secure environment. We are home full time and will have plenty of opportunity for walks, play time and potty breaks. During the school year, but my wife and I are home... and in summer months, our young-adult son will help as well. We have a spacious yard but it is not fenced so we would keep your dog on a long leash while outside. At night, we can easily crate, depending on the pet-parents preferences.

So grateful for Alina! I was in a bind last minute and she was more than willing to help! She communicated with me the perfect amount and was patient with Caesar who can be shy at first. Incredibly happy with her professionalism and willingness to help and would highly recommend her and will absolutely book her in the future!
Clarissa provided excellent care for our senior bichpoo while we were away on our summer vacation. She is dependable, kind, bright, very responsive, and conscientious in her attention to my requests/instructions for taking care of our Butterscotch. Knowing our beloved canine family member was in excellent hands while we were away provided a calm without measure. I would highly recommend Clarissa for all of your pet care needs. 🙂
This was a last-minute booking. There was a mixup when she got here about it being a 30 or 60 minute walk I booked it for 60 she was very professional and move things around so she could walk a full 60 minutes. She was very kind and my dog Eli really seemed to like her. I had a migraine come on and got sick. I’m very grateful for her taking my booking last minute and making sure she walked a full 60 minutes. I will definitely book with her again.
