“My dogs are my world and Sylvia makes me feel comfortable leaving them in the care of someone else. One of my dogs is dog reactive so her knowledge and handling experience was a huge peace of mind for an anxious dog mama. She’s super easy to get in contact with and has great flexibility with my odd hybrid office schedule. I defintely recommend booking :)”
“Amazing! She is so thorough and takes it upon herself to add in training. You can tell she’s very passionate smart and resourceful! I highly recommend. Adding in photos and details of the walk is an added benefit! Super grateful!”
“Laika is a mischievous dog: quite a handful! She loves Mike and seems to behave better for him than for me. :) What a relief to have such a courteous, professional, loving guy to walk Laika. Thanks, Mike!”
“Kaira has been walking my 2 dogs for 2 weeks now and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is very communicative and has patience to spare with my puppy who’ was a rescue and not easy! I also have a senior dog and she is very patient with her going up and down stairs as well as the slow walks. I cannot recommend Kaira enough!!”
“Liz has been walking Sadie for close to a year now. She's always super responsive and attentive to my old girl and her inclination to overheat. She ensure she brings water and takes some shade breaks when needed. Liz always sends a full report and pictures after the walk. I know my dog is in good hands. Highly recommend.”
“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog. We had to leave town unexpectedly for a funeral. I was apprehensive to leave our house keys and dog in the care of someone I didn't know. All concern washed away after our meet and greet. Claire is a lovely person. She was very easy to correspond with and gave us plenty of updates while away.”
“Whitney was so patient and understanding. I reached out to her because of her experience with shelter dogs. My little dog Kona is reactive towards strangers, and Whitney agreed to help me train her. We practiced different scenarios that might trigger Kona, and did them slowly. Whitney was unfazed when Kona barked or lunged at her, and continued to hand feed Kona hotdog pieces. Whitney even coached me through common scenarios, and took a proactive part in the training. Overall, she was wonderful! I highly recommend Whitney for help training and socializing mildly reactive dogs.”
“Lauren is awesome and our puppy loves her. Punctual, great communication, sends updates/pictures, walked our pup longer than the 30 mins we booked, which we and our pup can’t thank her enough for, and offered to clean our pup’s paws after a rainy walk!”
“Connor has been such a wonderful and patient person with my pup. Clark suffers from high anxiety but Connor was very patient and kind throughout their journey together. Could not recommend him enough. Thank you Connor for everything!”
“Cheryl is so good to my dogs. She really loves them and they LOVE her. She is also very accommodating with my work schedule and helps me out when I am in a bind. She is a treasure!”
“Eli is wonderful! He is a great communicator, right on time, and most importantly he’s patient and loving with our high-energy (and somewhat anxious) pup. Josie loves her walks with Eli, and it’s so great to have someone we can trust.”
“Alicia was super flexible about a last minute booking, really communicative, made sure to keep my apartment secure, and took really cute pictures of my dog to assure me he was having a great time. I would absolutely book again!”
“Houston treats Hank like he is her own dog. Hank is always calm and happy after she takes care of him. i couldn't do my job without her valuable and reliable help!”
“Jennifer is fantastic and I would highly recommend her for your dog walking/visiting needs! She has done great with our finicky dog and provides very detailed updates after every walk. I can definitely tell our pup is well taken care of with her!!”
About: Big dogs, big love! With over 10 years of experience caring for large breeds, I bring calm, confidence, and lots of tail wags to every walk. Whether it's a gentle stroll or a power trot, your pup is in safe, loving hands! After a long racing career and 9 years with me, I had to say goodbye to my rescue greyhound in February of this year. While I’m not quite ready for another dog, I have lots of love to give to yours (: I can handle high energy and reactive dogs as well, and am happy to meet your dog where they’re at. I currently work from home, so am available to be home with your pup all day, any day of the week in your home or in my apartment. (Dog friendly elevator building) I live in a dog friendly elevator building, so me and your pup will enjoy a quiet block of North Center. Unfortunately no fenced yard

Lincoln Square dog parents share their Rover experiences
Benjamin has taken good care of our dog and hasn’t missed a walk! He has handled the high energy well and the pictures show a happy pup on these walks. If there’s anything off from the usual, he reaches out so that I’m aware. Will continue to hire him when he’s available!
