“Thanks so much for helping take care of our pup. Adrian is kind, caring and shows passion for our pup. We will definitely be using Adrian again soon!”
5. Janine G.
“Janine was very accommodating and listened to our concerns and dog needs. We met Janine last week, she took Celeste for a walk and I could see from the beautiful pictures and my dog’s behavior before and after, that she felt very comfortable with Janine (if my dog is not sure or feels threatens even a bit, she would not have done all her ‘businesses’ while walking with her). I would 100% recommend Janine to care for your dog! Thank you so much! So happy to have found Janine!”

7. Tanya K.
“This was my first time using Rover but we needed to find someone to walk Mason with me having to be at work more often. Mason loved Tanya and seeing that put my heart at ease. We will definitely be using Tanya moving forward. As a crazy dog mom having pictures sent to me while they were on a walk was everything 🥰”

“Hunter continues to love his walks with Tetiana! I can tell in the pictures that he’s excited when she gets there and even bummed when she’s leaving 🥹. I really appreciate Tetiana’s consistency, reliability, and responsiveness, and it’s really sweet to see the bond Tetiana and Hunter are developing!”

About: I have 2 chiweenies, they are 6 and 7years old, they are my babies. One is an old soul the other is a teenager at heart. They are curious at first (with cats and dogs) but after a few min they just relax on their couch. I know the importance of having someone to trust with your furbabies. Native to Chicago- northwest side. Flexible job, I am available if you need to take a weekend trip or want me to stop by to feed your pup or take them for a quick walk. I will send you picture or video updates if you want to see their cute face too! I have my own car and can take your pup to the dog park or for a walk around the block. I am very patient and have experience with puppies. Can’t wait to meet you! My home is 5miles away from the O'hare Airport (about 15-20min). 1 bus away from Wrigley. Nearest train/metra station is Jefferson Park. I currently work from home and I’m very flexible with my schedule. I prefer early morning drop-off (between 6-8 am), since we go on our daily walk around 8:30 to get everyone comfortable on neutral ground. When the weather is great, I like to stay outside with the pups just a little extra. I have a fenced house, and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have an extra room if your pet prefers its own space to sleep. I have extra crates and extra blankets, but feel free to bring anything that will make them feel comfortable. I keep a clean home but they are allowed to be roaming the house during the day. For our feline friends I have a litter box and toys.
14. Julie H.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. I’m interested in helping pet owners out with walks, feedings, etc while getting extra love from pups. I’m currently the owner of 2 cats (and 2 little humans) but missing the love and cuteness from dogs. I’m comfortable with all size dogs. I’m looking for something that works around my current weekday schedule. I’m available during the week approx 9am-2.30pm for walks, feedings, extra cuddles and check-ins. I’m gentle and patient with animals. I have 2 of my own that I’ve cared for since 6 weeks old and now almost 13 yrs old. I’ve cared for puppies to adult animals.

About: I believe pets are the best thing that has happened to human kind and should be appreciated for all the joy and love they bring us. I grew up with and helped care for a cat colony for 15+ years. My favorite dog growing up, Bobbie a cute Pekingese, had seizures and my favorite cat, coffee an American short hair, had diabetes. I can't remember a time in my life where my family and I weren't watching or taking in someone's dog or cat wether it was only a day or for years. Now that I have my own space I would like to continue the tradition of sharing my home with fur friends. With all the animals I've taken care of I'd like to think I'm qualified for this job. I'm excited to meet and take care your best friend and give them all the love I possibly can. I'm always ready to take care of anyone's pet whenever need be. I'll save your last minute vacation. Call anytime day or night. No joke, always free :3 I have a nice spacious yard to take dogs out and play catch in. My household is a child free zone and is kept clean. There are no small things for them to eat or choke on and most everything is stored off the floors so there is nothing that can get into. Pets are allowed on beds and couches unless you prefer them not to. The house is kept cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
16. Eric N.
“Eric was GREAT! He communicates very well and shares pictures and videos pretty regularly. It was a pleasure working with him! I highly recommend him.”
17. Tina M.
About: I have always got along with cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds, using my nursing skills to socialize and keep pets healthy and content. I am retired so I am available most days and am a naturally early riser. Sunday is my only day of limited availability. (6-8a and after 3p) I care for 2 cats, have a fenced in yard and assist my neighbors in catching and releasing feral cats that require vet care. Many have found happy homes in this process.
18. Kimberly R.
“My dog Leo loves Kimberly! She was very kind and communicative. Definitely going to book her again in the future!”
19. Cassandra S.
“Cassandra is one of the most thoughtful, responsible and loving individuals that I have ever known. She's also creative, funny and always has a smile for you. You could not go wrong hiring her. She is wonderful with children and dogs. My dogs loved her and you know dogs have good instincts. I would definitely recommend her.”
20. John D.
“John is the best!! My dog loves him and gets a lot of exercise!! He loves loves going for runs and John also ran with the big guy! Absolutely recommend John! Very reliable and consistent! Thank you!!!”
