“Kevin was great both with Hank and me, his Type A mother. First time entrusting him to a dog walker, Kevin kept me in the loop with text updates on his ETA and shared pictures and fun recaps of their time together. Would definitely recommend Kevin!”
“Great first experience! Ashley was communicative and flexible with our requests, and punctual. And our boy seemed very content when we got back home. We will definitely book again!”
“Meg has been super communicative and helpful every time we have needed her help. She’s great with Nala and is very prompt. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future”
“We found Sarah last-second after the Rover we had originally booked suddenly dropped out, and she couldn’t have been lovelier to work with. Our dog loved her instantly and she took such great care of her. We definitely plan on booking Sarah again.”
About: Hi! My name is Abbie and I’ve been working with and caring for animals for most of my life! Dogs, cats, horses, you name it and I’ve probably done it! I have worked as a professional dog trainer, kennel staff at a doggie daycare facility, grooming assistant, service dog trainer, and have been on the leadership team for multiple animal rescues. I’ve been fostering since college and have welcomed almost 10 animals in my home since then 💗 Right now I have a pet free household as my dog of 12 years (Tori, the German shepherd in my gallery) passed away last fall 💔 I wanted to start on Rover to get some puppy/kitty time in and help pet owners have a trusted and responsible pet sitter they can turn to! I work in office 3x a week but otherwise have a very flexible schedule and never work early mornings or late nights (the perks of working in tech!) I am very serious about pet safety and responsible pet care. I live in a pet friendly apartment building right by the lake so I can safely take your dog on lakefront walks in lieu of having a yard 💗
About: Hi, I’m Makaela! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and love getting outside for walks or runs throughout the day. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs and am comfortable with different sizes, ages, and personalities. I also regularly watch my sister’s cats. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for dog and cat sitting, as well as walks, to ensure your pets get the care and attention they need. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine and needs closely. In my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
“Jon is a very considerate person. We’ve been using him for several weeks now and he always makes sure our dog is well taken care of. We can tell he really cares by taking our dog on long walks or making sure our dog’s paws are cleaned off enough after the walk.”
About: I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, including dog walking and dog-sitting. Personally, I grew up with dogs and love the joy they bring! I am a PhD student working on my dissertation, so I am relatively flexible with my time when I am not writing! Generally, I am available 7 days a week from morning to the evening. I want to ensure the most positive and safe experience for your pup, so please ask me what your needs are and we can work together to identify the best accommodation!
“Claire came to meet Ollie and he took to her right away. She took him on a walk and he did very well for her so we felt comfortable with hiring her. She followed instructions and sent us photos of a happy pup! We will definitely be hiring again in the future.”
“Cierra was amazing with our dog! She was punctual and flexible with scheduling but most importantly she was incredibly sweet and caring with our dog. She took the time to send pictures and personalized messages. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future 10/10 recommend!!”
“Sadie has been taking great care of my pup. She’s been walking him 3x per week the past couple months, has been very dependable and keeps me informed if she encounters any issues. Marco seems really happy every day after his walks with Sadie.”
About: I treat every dog like family and genuinely love being outdoors with them. Your pet gets my full attention, every time, I’m all about quality care. I am a middle school teacher and I am currently on summer break! I joined Rover because I have some free time in the summer and would love to spend it with some dogs:) I have a very flexible schedule since I am not doing my main job at the moment. I currenly live in an apartment on the third floor with two roomates who also love animals. I have an outdoor green area with fake grass I can take animals out to use the bathroom and play. I am also not far from the lake and many parks! I love to stay active and go on walks so know your pet will be taken care of to the best of my ability!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule so, I am home a lot to give pets extra love and attention! My weekends are even more free for boarding and pet care. In my home or my clients home, I tailor to the pet's need and try to keep their routine to as close to normal as possible. This is something we will build together! Safety is my number one priority.
About: I regularly volunteer with local shelters taking care of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Personally, have grown up with dogs and cats. I travel for work, when home in Chicago I am home and off from work 100% willing to provide flexible and my full attention to your pet. Mostly weekday availability. In a pet friendly apartment in Chicago near many dog friendly parks and walking trails. No pets in our house, so your pet will have my full attention.
“Molly did a great job walking my dog 3 days in a row. Took time out for a meet and greet, showed up at designated time slots, did all that I requested, communicated well, great attention to detail and super friendly. Also sent cute pictures 😊 Thanks Molly!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was about 10 years old. I grew up with cats my whole life but would care for neighbors cats and dogs. I have also worked as a volunteer with cats for many years, including volunteering at PAWS. Since being in Chicago, I have mainly cared for friends animals but want to expand my network and share my skills. I work from home so have availability during the day and on weeknights. I am also open to planned weekends. I am definitely flexible for scheduling! As a caretaker, I am loving, playful and patient. When I am in a client’s home, I am mindful about keeping the space tidy as well.

Kayleigh was very responsive and flexible. She was able effectively walk our stubborn dog Winston and provided great care for him on a hot day outdoors by making sure he drank water and took breaks. She was also thorough in her feedback. I would definitely use her services again in the near future!
Meg did an awesome job taking my dog for a few walks this week. From our meet and greet to her thoughtful messages and walk summaries, I can tell Meg is so caring with the pets she watches. I was so appreciative she reached out and was able to come over before a storm started to keep my dog company for a little while :) Thanks so much Meg!
Allene has been a fantastic dog walker - communicative, punctual, and great positive energy for Rango - he always nearly wags his tail off when she arrives to take him! Allene does a nice recap at the end of the walk to let us know what the walk was like and what Rango was up to. We’re happy to have Allene booked for recurring walks with Rango and know he’s in great hands!
Joel is great dog trainer and his work with Enzo helped me to overcome increasingly stressful walks with Enzo. He is mainly working on leash pooling and to take treats gently as of right now. It is work in progress, but I see improvements. Joel is responsive and helpful.
Jessica was great with walking and caring for our pups, Lily and Dawson, and we can't thank her enough for her help! She responded almost immediately to our very last-minute request and followed all of our care instructions without any issues. We hope to be able to book her again anytime that we need care for our dogs!
Lora was great with walking and caring for our pups, Lily and Dawson, and we can't thank her enough for her help! She responded almost immediately to our very last-minute request and followed all of our care instructions without any issues. We hope to be able to book her again anytime that we need care for our dogs!
Cierra has been wonderful with my dog, Mishti. She clearly cares about the dogs she works with and always goes above and beyond. Mishti loves her walks, and I really appreciate how attentive and observant Cierra is—she has even noticed unusual changes in Mishti's bowel movements and brought them to my attention right away. She also takes the time to brush Mishti, so her visits are much more than just a walk. Cierra is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about Mishti's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy dog walker.
