About: I've have much experience pet/house sitting. I'm aware that each pet has their own personality and specific needs, and I am ready to accommodate them! I currently work part time in the afternoon. I'm available in the mornings and late afternoon. My work schedule is flexible, so if needed I can adjust to meet my customers needs! I tailor care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide safe, engaging walks, consistent feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. During house sitting, I'll be sure to clean any and all messes, and ensure whatever rules you have stay enforced. I follow all instructions and send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in great hands.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs in size and breed over the years from family and friends, and had 3 of my own and a couple cats as well. We spend time with them walking and playing, providing love and care and treats and of course fun play time! I’ve had my own dogs from puppies to seniors and taught them basic skills, and took them to training for other needs. Our kids have grown up with our dogs and love them basically as their own siblings. I am home almost full time and can care for your animals 7 days a week. During the school year I work two days a week at a preschool, and will have activities to work around for my children once they start up again. However, there is availability everyday in my schedule for your needs. I have a fenced yard and a doggy door to the backyard for any boarding. We have a fenced in area for a dog specific zone for potty breaks, and open the rest of the yard for running around and exercise to keep it clean of dog mess. Working only two days a week part time will allow me to check in at your home frequently, and can find the right time and schedule around those two days hopefully. I have 2 dogs of my own that are friendly to other pets as well. They can sometimes need a minute to warm up (my Great Dane can be skiddish and defensive with smaller dogs - but will warm up, she is a big baby) and then they are incredibly playful!
“Isabella is AWESOME! She is kind with a sweet spirit. She ask questions about your pooch and covers all aspects concerning your pooch! I will use Isabella again and again! THANKS ISABELLA!!”
About: My family and I currently have two pups( 13 years old + an 8 month old) who we walk daily and love on constantly. The eldest(Samson) has been spoiled and receives every meal accompanied by some sort of treat to get the process going but he is extremely friendly and well behaved. Our newest (Pepper) eats everything and wants to play always, which means we give her lots of walks and play time outside. Samson is getting older and over the years we have had to have him on medication or been very watchful if he was acting out of character or lethargic. This has trained my eyes to just be ever present when caring for pets and to always treat them as family worthy of our attention and love. I've been tasked with sporadically pet sitting my girlfriends cats and have had no issues ever. Added experience pet sitting for my friend and his many German Shepherds. Finally I work as a Personal Trainer and part time unofficial care giver to my 94 year old Grandfather, my patience is unmatched. I currently work as an independent Personal Trainer + Unofficial care giver. My schedule tends to be flexible but staying in steady communication with clients is always front of mind so as to avoid conflicting scheduling. My pets are held in a higher regard than a fair amount of people I meet. They simply mean so much to my family and I. We stress over their eating habits, exercise levels, sleep schedules etc etc. Every pet I care for receives that same family-like attention and compassion, guaranteed.
About: I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I have a very welcoming and fun-loving personality that has never met an animal personality that didn't mesh. I have 15 years of experience with dogs and 12 years of experience with cats. I have raised several puppies and kittens and cared for elder dogs and cats as well. Caring for animals is my passion and I thank you for the time with your pet. I have a flexible work schedule, so my flexibility is a bonus when it comes to pet care! I offer dog walks, cat or dog drop-in house visits, over night house sitting, and doggy day care. When you book with me, you have the comfort knowing that all my care and attention is on your dog since I only accept 1-2 dogs from one household, per day. I will follow any rules or guidelines set by the owner to ensure the best care is given to your furry loved one. I submit photos throughout my care time to keep you up to date with the great time your pet is having with me!
About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, from puppies all the way to the stubborn old dog living with me now! I have also volunteered at animal shelters for a total of five years, where I learned a lot about how to care for various ages and breeds of dogs. Additionally, my current dog is a senior and is partially blind and deaf, so I am experienced in caring for older dogs who may have special needs. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule! I can definitely accommodate any walks or potty breaks your pup might need, and I can also be home if your pup has separation anxiety or needs a closer eye kept on them. I have a fenced yard and two children with lots of energy to keep your pup entertained! My neighborhood has plenty of walking trails, as well as a dog park. I do have a dog in my home, as well; he is a senior and very laid-back and calm. So we are also happy to hang out with lower energy dogs who might just enjoy snuggles and lots of naps.
About: I grew up around dogs and have years of experience caring for small and medium breeds for friends and family. I’m calm, patient, and playful, with an active lifestyle that’s perfect for long walks. I prioritize safety, reliability, and making sure every dog feels secure, exercised, and genuinely cared for I am currently enrolled in high school and have a part time job at a senior center so I am free to walk on the weekends!! For dog walks, I focus on safety and trust above all else. I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and adjust each walk to your dog’s energy level. I follow any instructions you provide, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure your dog returns home happy, exercised, and safe every time.
About: I have had dogs since I was born, I was raised taking care of dogs. I love them so much and can’t wait to sit! I work a full time job, however it’s 4 days on, and 3 days off. The days I work I'm available evenings after 5:30. I currently don’t have any pets, but I have been raised taking care of animals. I was raised with dogs from the day was born until the day I moved out, most years of my life having multiple dogs at a time, even having 3 dogs at one point. I love being outside so I would always take the dogs on walks or just sit outside with my dogs.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was very young and dreamed of being a future veterinarian, I have experience with very young puppies to large adult dogs. I am working part time at another job so morning times and also evening times will fit in my schedule with proper notice I can work anytime ! I will be a respectful guest in your home caring for your fur kids ! as well as a respectful walker cleaning up any of your dogs waste.
About: I'm a life-long pet owner and animal lover. I am a responsible, caring, thoughtful adult who understands the necessity of providing care to pets at the times requested and with the services as discussed. I am great at learning and adapting to the preferences of your household and pet(s) and look forward to exceeding your service expectations! I'm a fully remote employee with a flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and I don't have children, so I have infinite flexibility without having to worry about school or activity schedules. I will treat your home with the utmost care and respect, as I do my own. I pride myself on leaving spaces better than I found them when I can. I am highly sensitive to safety and security of home environments including fences, door locks, and windows. I love to be active with pets when they want my love and attention, I'm equally happy to sit calmly and read a book if they just need a loving presence.
About: I grew up with one dog in my house and have house/pet sit for family and friends. When I was getting my degree I worked at PetSmart in the Doggie Day Care. I’m a teacher and home more in the summer! I’m a teacher and will be home the majority of the day during the summer! Growing up my family dog’s routine was walks twice a day, feed twice a day, and given medication. I have a fenced in yard for your dog(s) to run around, sidewalks in my neighborhood to walk, and room to crate your dog(s) if thats what they need to feel comfortable. I currently don’t have a dog so they would have all the pets and snuggles!
“Abi exceeded my expectations in terms of her caring, loving attitude towards the dogs, her reliability and willingness to accept all responsibilities and requests. She followed directions and even showed up when not scheduled to check on them. I would highly recommend.”
“We are so grateful for Lindsay! She is very caring and fun with our very active Aussie! We can tell from her great photos that he is happy and in great hands. Thank you Lindsay!🐾💙”
About: I feel like I've always taken care of dogs. My family had dogs growing up. I have a senior dog and a four year-old dog. I have experience taking care of both senior dogs and younger dogs. My daughter is trying to raise money for a Washington DC trip. We would love to take care of your dog. I am not available on the weekends.

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 Lincoln Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Park. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
