“Kati was awesome, I highly recommend her...we have two dogs and they have never had a "sitter" stop by to take them on walks. The dogs loved her and she was always on time and flexible when I needed extra walks. Thanks Kati!!!!”
“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.
About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and love the companionship they bring to our family. Very experienced in grooming and feeding and all types of care that dogs can require. Have also had senior pets that needed lots of special care that I am always happy to provide. I work from home, so here all day with my Goldendoodle. Also have a flexible work schedule for walks during the day and in the evenings. Weekends we like to take longer walks to explore the neighborhood around us. I have a fenced in yard, a Goldendoodle that loves to play with other dogs, and three teenage boys who love to care for pets.
About: I would do anything for an animal. Im fact, I have broken bones on two different times so they wouldn’t get hurt. I love them. I am looking for a job now and the market is horrible. I thought, what could be better than filling my days with animals to love on. I take care of my cat better than myself. I make sure he’s eating well, I grt the good bowls, toys galore and his own heating pad which he adores.
About: I have cared for many dogs including my daughters working dogs when she’s out of town in the past few years. I am also quite experienced with elderly dogs that need extra special care and attention. Presently, I have a dog of my own that I always enjoy her company, but I have owned dogs in the last 16 years. I presently work full time on the weekday's , but I can be flexible with my schedule through out the week and available on the weekends. If I need to care for your pet at your home , I will follow your instructions thoroughly. I am very responsible and love pets.
About: I am fun, patient, caring, reliable and accommodating. I am currently owned by an 11 year old Sheltie and 7 year old Schnorkie who I love to walk, run, cuddle and play with. I have experience with dog-sitting and have cared for puppies, senior dogs (with health concerns needing medication) and other animals as well. I would love to meet your pup(s) and care for them as if they were my own:) I potty trained both of my dogs, so I am not afraid to take on the challenge of a puppy! I have a full-time job in Deerfield, but live close to work and have a 1-hr lunch which allows a lot of flexibility based on your dog's needs. Work hours: 8:30am-5:00pm Monday - Friday Lunch: 12:30-1:30pm; but can be changed based on you dog's needs I look forward to speaking with you and learning more about your furry friend!
About: I have been a dog and a cat owner since i can remember myself. My family and I have adopted many pets over the years especially the ones with special needs , so they can have a loving home I’m working from home and on weekends i do freelance with makeup and hairstyles. Since i can choose my own working hours, i will make sure i take care of your pets in my free time I can guarantee a safe environment for your pets, follow their feeding and bathroom schedule , make sure they have fun on their little vacation
“Brianna was amazing! My pups have anxiety and unfortunately we needed a last minute dog Walker, we were nervous as our pups never met Brianna before but she was so patient and gentle with them! Highly recommend ☺️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!
About: The dogs I have taken care of have always received excellent tlc. I am able to use commands, for example sit, stay, and place! I have experience with senior dogs administering oral medication. I will keep a close eye on the geriatric dogs and make sure they don’t have any issues. I am very flexible when it comes to caring for pets. I’ll be able to get to the pets as soon as I get off of work. If I don’t work then I’ll usually be open all day. I work 7a-3p. I’m off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Unfortunately I cannot provide boarding in my apartment because it’s a 2 pet policy. When I’m in the clients home I’ll let the pet roam freely. I will also pick up after they do their business. I feel that a dog and human bond is really unbreakable, so I will be comfortable with any pet that I connect with. I’ll also need to know where things are, I.e food, treats, leash.
About: I'm a lifelong pet owner with experience and patience loving all sorts of pets, from a little kid I've always loved and cared for many types of pets, from the smallest to the largest, let me make your pet nice and secure at home. As I'm recently retired, I have the time and patience to meet your pet care needs, I'm a very stable and mature adult who adores pets. My care is personalized to each individual furry member of your family, offering them the same level of care and love that you yourself would provide.
About: I love dogs, I currently have 2 at home around the age of 5. I love taking them on walks and playing with them in the backyard. One of my dogs, Hope, loves to play with her ball but my other dog Rosie, loves to play tug with her toys and sleep under the blankets. I like to take care of animals with all different traits. I am responsible and reliable and I can help you out in a pinch or keep a regular schedule depending on your dog’s I currently go to Elmhurst University, I am a full time student. I am looking to walk dogs over the summer. I am available for one time walks or recurring. I also am available if you need someone to watch your pet while you go on vacation!

I also know some dogs need relaxation and pets, which I also love to provide.

Leaving your pets with her will be one of their best pet-sitting experiences, ever.”
Benjamin S.
“I just used Ben Strauss today for the very first time. I have a three year old lab named Beatrice. I used him for a dog walk and he was sensational. He texted me when he arrived at the house. He sent me pictures of Bea and he reported to me that she had done her business on the walk. The extra unexpected bonus was that he went in the backyard to play ball with Bea after the walk. I mentioned to him that if he wanted to he could go play with her. Usually dog walkers will not also play with the dogs. Bea had so much fun with him that when I came home she had to show me her outside ball (which she brought inside) because she wanted me to know that Ben played ball with her. He spent almost an hour with Bea. I highly recommend Ben Strauss. He is dependable and excellent with animals. 5 stars for Ben!!”

Shweta K.
“I booked the stay with Shweta and it was for two weeks but it was going over budget. She gave me a very good discount and gave me peace of mind. Stay was really good; they played with lots of toys. She sent photos daily. This was my first time booking with Rover and she made sure I felt comfortable. My pets enjoyed her backyard and my dogs really enjoyed their stay. Discount was huge bonus for me! I'll definitely book with her again. BINGO”
Kildeer dog parents share their Rover experiences
Leanne has been walking our dog regularly for several months now, and we couldn’t ask for a more reliable and dependable person to care for our furry family member. Leanne tends to our dog as if she was one of her own, and is always willing to change up the routine based on our dogs daily mood (playful, hungry, ready to walk, etc). We are grateful that Leanne takes such good care of our dog.
