About: 🐶Before booking, please READ this:🐶 "I do not accept aggressive or jealous dogs." My policy is to maintain the most pleasant and responsible environment possible. I work with a lot of love and responsibility ❤️ Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved animals and have always had dogs and other pets in my life. I have many years of experience working as a dog sitter, and I always treat each dog as part of my own family 💛 I have: • A large, clean space with an escape-proof yard • Dogs always supervised 24/7 + cameras • Games, fun, and treats (if parents allow) • Daily reports to owners with photos/videos. *Please take this into account: 1. I love dogs to play and have fun, but just like children, they can sometimes get rough and get minor scratches or bumps. If you'd prefer your dog not to have contact with others, just let me know, and I'll keep him separate for his safety and comfort. 2. I am not responsible for any illness or incidents with external allergies. Unfortunately, dogs can get sick and no one is to blame., *you can check the Rover guarantee published on their website* 3. Please keep your dog treated for fleas and ticks. 🟡 Dogs over 40 lbs: +$10” and over 60 lbs +$20” I hope you feel comfortable with me for your beloved furry pal’s stay.🐾🙌🤗 I have a big, fully fenced yard with plenty of toys where your dog can run, play, and have fun safely. Your dog will always be close to me and my family, receiving all the love and attention they deserve. I also have two very sweet daughters, ages 11 and 7, who adore dogs just as much as I do. They’ll be delighted to play with and give lots of cuddles to your furry pal. 🐾 I work from home, so I’m available all day to care for your pup. I also have security cameras to keep an eye on them when I step out of the room for a moment, and I have my own car in case of any emergency. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.
About: I’ve been watching all sorts of pets ever since I can remember. My family and I have always been the go-to for friends and family needing a pet sitter. We used to take care of pets on Rover for 3 years and made friends with many clients and their pets. This time I’m doing it on my own. I have two dogs and one cat at home who all love each other. I go to Orlando every so often, so if I’m not available I am probably in Orlando! However, if my calendar says I’m unavailable, I still encourage you to send me a message and I might be able to watch your pups/cat anyway! I also have college classes on weekdays. I have a lot of experience in getting along with dogs and can do many things to check up on them such as refilling their food and water bowls, cleaning up any accidents or messes, playing with or walking them so they are tired out for the day, as well as any special instructions/needs your dog has. ‼️Also, My boyfriend usually joins me in taking care of pets, so please let me know beforehand if you’re not comfortable with that so I’m aware.‼️

We have a beautiful safe community to walk around with a dog park around the corner for your fur baby to see and smell. I am currently a full-time college student majoring in Social Work, I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies needs while they are in my care.

I have pets of my own, so I understand how much love, peace and happiness they bring into our lives. To me, pets are truly part of the family, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention and affection I give my own. I’m a freelancer and work from home on my computer, so my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, company, playtime and affection throughout the day. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, provide fresh food and water, keep their space clean and respect their boundaries. I’ll also send you regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
“I was very pleased with Carla. I am relatively new to using walkers since I've always lived in a home with a backyard. I am therefore very paranoid about who walks my dog. I only trust without worries, my neighbor who walks Shona together with his big boy fur baby who was out of town. Shona is very sweet but young, strong, and big. Carla was punctual with every walk. handled Shona easily and comfortably and followed all my instructions. I highly recommend Carla if you need a responsible person to handle your dog - size don't matter.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 20 years of experience caring for pets. I am a responsible, reliable, and attentive caregiver whom pet parents can truly trust. I naturally sense animals’ moods and needs, which helps me build trust quickly. I enjoy playing, walking, and providing attentive, loving care, always adapting to each pet’s personality to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy!🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, unhurried walks, playtime, and consistent care. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, which helps me build trust and a strong connection with each pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, home-like environment at all times.

I carefully follow each dog’s routine and preferences to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.

I had a great experience with Javier! He was always very responsible, punctual, reliable, and flexible. I really appreciated that he took the time to come by before the services started to meet us, get familiar with the area, and learn the walking route. That showed how professional and committed he is to doing a great job. Communication was excellent, and everything went very smoothly. I’m very happy with his service and would definitely recommend him. Thank you, Javier!
I had an amazing experience with her! She took such great care of my two fur babies and kept me updated with texts and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The handoff was super easy, and she even came out to help me, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Communication was excellent, everything was clear with no confusion, and she was very flexible and easy to work with. I truly appreciated her service and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be rebooking with her! 🐾❤️
Deena did an excellent job walking our dog at the scheduled times. On rainy days, she communicated with me about adjusting the schedule to ensure he went out for his walks.

My experience was extremely positive. I’ve definitely found someone I can trust, and I’m very satisfied. She is the perfect sitter for my pet.🤝😁😊 When my plans suddenly changed, she really helped me out she was flexible, accommodating, and handled everything perfectly. Her professionalism is obvious from the start: she asks the right questions, pays close attention to details, and truly cares about the pet. It even feels like she goes above and beyond what’s expected. She is very careful, knows exactly how to build the right connection with an animal, and it’s clear that this is not just a job for her, but a genuine love for what she does.😁

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lake Forest. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
