Dog Walkers in Itasca, IL

“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”

“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”

About: I have up to, if not more, than 1 year of pet experience. I was raised on a farm from the age of 13. I also have experience with dogs and cats alone as I use to be a dog bather and have my own cat. I plan to become a groomer fulltime as well as pet sitter. I am currently unemployed outside of Rover, I am looking to make Rover fulltime once I an get enough clients to keep me up financially. I am also looking to go to school to become a pet groomer. Currently,y schedule is open 24/7. No pet is ever too much! I live in a house with family currently, as I just moved back to the Fort Smith area. As of current, I am unable to do pet watching at my house so I offer house sitting + walk in visits, as well as dog walkin.

About: I currently have 2 Dobermans, both are 6 years of age. Previously adopted another Doberman at the age of 5. I’ve had 2 family dogs as well - making me a dog owner all my life I currently run a personal training business that is by appointment only. This gives me a lot of free time during the day that I could be caring for your pets. I will follow all care instructions for your pets in your own home. I currently have a fenced yard and have experience with invisible fences.

“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!”

“Sophia was fantastic! Amazing with communication, incredibly organized, and so thoughtful about the time spent with our pup. She sent multiple photos and videos each day, ensured he got snuggles and playtime in addition to his walk, and was clearly loving toward him as evidenced by his smiles and postures in the photos. We will absolutely book Sophia the next time we need someone. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs since I could form memories and currently work at a dog daycare. I have been around dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work on the weekends but have open availability during the week. I am allergic to cats and cannot dog sit for anyone with a cat in the home. I have given medication, shots, and a variety of diets to dogs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and older dogs. I work on the weekends in the city at a dog daycare but have very open availability for the week. I am a caregiver to my grandma but not the sole caregiver. I cannot stay overnight or for prolonged periods. To make sure the dog is comfortable and in the best head space, I do not have other dogs at my house but am more than happy to dog/house sit if needed. I have watched all of my friends dogs while they were away and have no issues crashing on a couch!

“Leah is amazing with my dog Susie. Susie is very big and tends to pull. Leah assured me she was a good girl on her walks ( whether that is the case or not) and I appreciate her taking her out when I am at work. It takes a lot of stress off my shoulders knowing someone I trust is walking my fur baby.”

About: I have several years of experience watching dogs and cats. It's truly more of a passion than a job! I always form a strong bond of trust and security with the pets I meet. I am available any time on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I work short shifts at my other job all other days of the week. My availability is as follows: Monday - 7am-3pm, 8pm-12am Tuesday - 7am-3pm, 8pm-12am Wednesday - 7am-3pm, 8pm-12am Saturday - 7am-9pm, 1pm-12am I'm good at reading pets' emotions. I know how to calm them if they're nervous or territorial. I enjoy playing with them, giving them the attention to deserve!

“I appreciate that she was patient with my Nash and listened to some of the “watch outs.” As my Nash can sometimes think he’s the only dog that should be walking. I appreciate her being on time. We have a pretty tight schedule.”

“Jennifer was so nice when I met her. She took my 2 pug puppies for a long walk and gave good information on their report card. We will ask for her next time we need a pet walker.”

About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs from small and large. I have cared for dogs while owners went on vacation whether boarding them at my home or coming over 3-4 times a day, and I love spending time with them . I have cared for both young and older dogs who may require certain medication or specified care. My whole life I have been surrounded by animals,even owning a little hobby farm of my own which includes 2 dogs, a horse and chickens! I care for others pets as if they were mine and wouldn’t want anyone to expect anything less , as many of us treat our fur babies as if they were our kids! I only work night shift on the weekends and a majority of the time I am available. My college schedule permits me from seeing your pet from 8am to 12 pm ,however, I can come in the early hours of the morning followed by the afternoon and evening. I have a large fenced yard and provide my dogs with a lot of time outdoors. Your dog is guaranteed company as I have two friendly pups. I offer taking dogs for walks or letting them out in the backyard.

About: I grew up with a female German Shepard, and have grown up looking after and taking care of dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes. I love to be active and therefore enjoy taking dogs out on walks. I definitely have the patience to take care of animals of every age and energy level. Graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with degree in Neuroscience! While in the process of finding a full time job, I have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies! I will respect your home and fur baby as if they were my own. I love keeping my space neat and my pets well cared for, and that will never differ elsewhere.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m experienced with high-energy puppies who are still learning as well as senior dogs who need gentler care and extra patience. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and routines, and I always adjust walks and care to what your dog needs that day. Clear communication and reliability are really important to me, so you’ll always know your dog is in good hands. I’m currently in school, but I have a flexible schedule with lots of spare time, making it easy for me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m able to give pets reliable, attentive care without rushing. For pet walks, I focus on safety, structure, and your dog’s individual needs. I follow your dog’s usual routine, use secure leashes and harnesses, and choose routes that are appropriate for their energy level. I allow plenty of time for exercise and sniffing while keeping walks calm and controlled. After each walk, I make sure your dog has fresh water and is settled comfortably before I leave.

About: I have taken care of family and friends animals from cats, to dogs, to bunnies, to fish. I love to provide excellent care to keep your pets happy and safe. I have a flexible schedule and can help with a variety of needs at varying days/times to help care for your pets from drop in visits to walks. I am patient, diligent and responsible with a very good ability to follow detail oriented instructions to ensure your pets get what they need while you are away.

“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!”
