“Hanna was wonderful with Jaxx on his first walk. He was shy at first since he’d never had a walker before, but her calm and patient approach helped him warm up quickly. She let him walk at his own pace, shared detailed updates, and even sent a picture, which I really appreciated. I felt very relieved and will definitely continue using her services”

“Yesterday, Jason was walking our dog when a neighbor’s dog ran through its electric fence, and charged my dog. Jason calmly and skillfully de-escalated the situation, preventing potential serious injuries to my pet. Jason is a wonderful dog walker, and in this case he went well above and beyond the call of duty.”

“Cathy is an outstanding dog walker! Our rambunctios 2yo lab loved her daily walks, and Cathy even worked with our nervous Border Collie to build up her confidence. Cathy is absolutely reliable, and we highly recommend her!”

“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!!!!”

“Jennifer was great: caring, prompt, accommodating, and attentive. She repeatedly offered to go out if her way to offer additional assistance while I was physically incapacitated and unable to walk my dog.”

About: Growing up, I am thankful my family were avid animal lovers. Our home was always shared with cats, dogs, and fish. I have been fortunate enough that our love and care for animals has enabled us to have long living pets, with my first cat living until 18 years old and dog until 13 years old. This experience has given me a deep understanding of cat / dog behavior, their health needs, and how to provide the best care at every stage of their life. I’m comfortable managing everything from playful dogs/ kittens to senior dogs/cats with specific health concerns. I also understand the importance of building trust with both cats and dogs and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I'm dedicated to creating a routine that suits each pet's personality and needs, whether it's administering medication, providing companionship, or just offering a safe, loving environment. Currently, I work fully remote, as such I am able to offer flexibility with my pets, or the pets I'm sitting for. I can be flexible with my routine to ensure that their needs are met, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just cuddling. I can offer multiple check-ins and am available for walks, play sessions, and monitoring health or behavior throughout the day. I will treat each pet with the utmost respect and care, ensuring that each pet receives proper attention and one-on-one time. I will make sure to follow each animal's regular routine and schedule as closely as possible. I am very conscientious of others' homes and will clean up after myself and the pets.
“Erica was great. She was able to accommodate a last minute request and even was able to do a meet and greet before. My dog is a senior so she didn't need a long walk. Erica offered to sit with her in the house after because the walk was short. I thought that was nice that she asked. She had great communication and I appreciate that. I'll be using Erica again. Thank you so much for caring for my sweet girl.”

“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”

“Hannah is just an amazing dog walker. She was just amazing with our boy. She communicate when she arrived, when she left and sent us probably the best picture we have of him. We will for sure use her services again in the future and recommend everyone to reach out to her.”

About: Working at a doggy day care, we would supervise up to 300 dogs during holiday season! I led play groups for dogs tiny to giant, and paid attention to notices from owners who let us know their dogs shouldn't socialize with others. Every dog got one last turn in the yard before bed, and we all worked hard to notes for owners who requested them. Learning about all the pups we worked with was key, and I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup, too! Spending time with your furry friend fits well into my schedule. I am currently working toward the next milestone in my career, and am flexible. I will denote the times I am unavailable for you to see. I will take your notes seriously. Keeping a watchful eye, being conscious and conscientious are mandatory. This isn't just a pet, this is a member of your family.
About: I have been taking care and watching my own dog Millie for nearly a decade. I frequently walk, watch, and house sit for family and friends during the holidays. From puppies to older dogs I have experienced care with giving dogs medicine including diabetic shots. I love dogs and am passionate about taking care of them and making sure they are the happiest they can be. I’m currently in between jobs and looking for work so I am available any time during the week or weekend. I am currently dog walking for one client every week day around noon so outside of that I am available whenever needed! I frequently walk my own dog at home as well as feed them breakfast and dinner. I have dealt with many different breeds and types of dogs and can adapt to any station.
About: I have been dog-sitting for five years now. I would say I’m a very patient person as I teach dance to young children. I am very hardworking and trustworthy person. I’m currently finishing a degree in dance and marketing! Following my college graduation, I will be available during the day until I go to teach dance. My schedule varies each day and sometimes varies week to week, but I always have my morning available. I am definitely a morning person! I keep my home and my own spaces very clean and organized. I really don’t like clutter which makes for safer environments for your animals.
About: I am a student at Loyola University Chicago who has a genuine love for animals. I have taken care of parrots in the past and have also been asked to walk dogs for my neighbors. I always take my job very seriously and understand the responsibilities of taking care of an animal I go to school for only a few hours, giving me plenty of time to walk a dog. I am very active, so I love to walk with dogs. I am always up in the early morning and have lots of time in the afternoon, which allows me to be flexible. I currently do not have a pet, however, I have walked with large dogs in the past. My neighborhood is very pet friendly and has many beautiful areas where I can take the animal for a walk.
“Haven was so great with our dog. She was available on short notice and went above and beyond to take care of our dog that has anxiety. He felt very comfortable with her right away. I would highly recommend Haven as a dog walker/sitter!”

Long Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. She cared for them with so much love, patience, and expertise, and it was clear she treated them like her own. She kept me updated with frequent communication and shared lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated her flexibility — when I had a scheduling conflict one day, she was incredibly understanding and willing to work around it without hesitation. That kind of reliability means a lot. I would 100% hire Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable walker.
