“Andres has been absolutely amazing! He has been amazing to work with. My pittie mix absolutely loves going for his walks with Andres. He is always on time and very professional. Would highly recommend.”

“Breanna saved the day during my week suffering from a concussion. After an initial meet and greet Winnie took to her well and Breanna even got her to walk all the way to the lake without much issue Winnie came back happy and ready to nap. THANK YOU! 10/10 Recommend”

“I’m so grateful I found Jenna. She’s been a blessing for me and my dog. Zara is always excited to see her, and I can tell that Jenna treats my baby with so much patience and love. Jenna’s reliability and kindness mean the world to us.”


About: I’ve had my cat for 3 years, raising her from a playful kitten into a calm, well-behaved adult. This has given me hands-on experience with feeding, litter care, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I specialize in caring for cats and calm adult dogs, providing a safe, crate-free, stress-free home. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive — making sure every pet feels loved while their owners are away. Special Skills: -Training and caring for kittens -Creating calm, low-stress environments Routine management: feeding, litter, and general care -Comfortable hosting calm adult dogs I currently have a flexible schedule and am available most days and times to provide attentive, stress-free care for both cats and calm adult dogs. Being between jobs allows me to focus fully on your pet’s needs, including feeding, litter care, companionship, and walks for dogs. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I provide a calm, safe environment for cats and calm adult dogs, whether in my home or at the client’s home. Pets are always supervised and cared for according to their routines. My home features a fenced yard, giving pets a safe outdoor space to explore. I also have a friendly, well-behaved cat, so I’m experienced in helping pets feel comfortable around other animals. I follow owners’ instructions closely for feeding, litter care, walks, and general routines to ensure pets feel secure and happy while in my care.

About: I've taken care of dogs for my neighbors and family friends throughout middle school and into high school! I have experience walking dogs and taking care of them when their people were on vacation! I am happy to send pictures or videos updates of your pup and will gladly play with them! I am excited to have wide availability to take care of animals! I am open to mornings, evenings, and would be more than happy to stay overnight! I really enjoy spending time with animals! It's important to me to get to know your pet! I would love for you to share with me how you care for your pets, so that I can care for them as well as you do! I love to cuddle, play, and engage with all dogs and cats!

About: I work from home full time and I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I’m a huge pet lover. I used to foster dogs of all sizes so I’m used to having guest pups around. I have a 11yr old Doberman mix who wouldnt mind the extra company of another dog. He’s too old to actively play so he’ll do best with another low energy dog or dog that doesn’t need a play friend. We love the outdoors and go on frequent walks. Dogs will have free rein of the apartment. Daily routine will be the same as my pup. Three walks a day (or more if needed). Breakfast around 8 and dinner around 6 unless different hours are needed. Dogs will have free roam of the apartment but I also have the ability to separate them if requested. I also don’t mind if they are on the furniture and I have plenty of options for sleeping arrangements.
“I have a reactive dog and Angela was very understanding of the situation. I did my best to provide directions, so that and her experience with reactive dogs made it so taking out my dog was a breeze. Definitely will be booking Angela in the future!”

“Jozelin took Leo on morning walks while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions, was respectful of the space, & was able to handle my Leo. Will book again!! Tyyy”

About: Hello i'm Janelle C.(she/her)! A dog walker and pet sitter with 5 years of professional experience at Fur Real K9's as well as with my own clients here in Chicago. I also have a life time of experience loving and caring for animals, including my own two adorable black cats Elizabeth and Momo. In my childhood I took care of all the cats, dogs and horses on our family farm back in Missouri. In my 5 years as a pet sitter i've taken care of everything from geckos to guinea pigs. In that time I took classes in pet CPR and behavior management, particularly for large dogs. I know I can give your pet the love, care and attention they deserve. I hope you trust me to be your next pet sitter! I'm free on weekends (Friday night, Saturday and Sunday) for pet sitting and walking as well as over nights. I have time on Wednesdays for walks and home visits. I consider myself to be an attentive, patient and caring pet parent and I look after my clients pet's just as I would my own. I've worked with all sorts of animals, I've broken up ugly dog fights, changed diapers and sat with pups through seizures
“It was a pleasure working with Chauntrell to walk my boy! I received great progress pics and solid communication during the process. I appreciate knowing my son was well taken care of while I couldn’t be home. Thank you, Chauntrell!”

“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Natalia was great! She reacted to a last minute request, was very flexible on scheduling when to do the first introduction and most importantly was on time and great with the dogs!”

“Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.”

“Carolina did great with my dog, he bonded with her right away and I will definitely book with her again. I appreciate how easy it was to communicate, and how flexible she was with my new work schedule, which im still working out.”

“Kristi provided great care to my dog Bria. She sent detailed updates throughout her visit including many photos. She made Bria feel very comfortable. Would definitely book again! Highly recommend!!!”

“Melissa came through!! Due to a recent schedule change I needed a dog walker super last minute - so glad I was able to find Melissa! She was professional, timely, took great pics and really took care of Henry! Will be booking her again!”

About: I am an educator by training. I am looking for extra work during the summer and school year away from the classroom. I dog and cat sat and dog walked throughout college for four years. I cared for a 15-year-old labrapoodle and I cared for a 7-year-old bordie collie for a combined 5 years. I took them on daily walks, fed them according to a strict meal regimen, and made sure they were safe. The 15-year-old dog had health issues so I have experience in responding to health crisis with elderly dogs and know how to respond in case of an emergency. I am willing to commute, but have limited availability with overnight visits as I have a 19 month old and 7 month old at home.I also have experience with cats! I personally have four cats (ages 2,2, 2, and 4) who I love dearly. I’m able to administer medicine, feed, and care for all breeds and ages of cats. Generally, I do have a full-time job so pet care is part time for me. I’m saving to buy a house and go on a trip so I’m really looking for extra income. Work takes up my time during the day, but I’m available in the evenings and weekends for pet sitting. I’m also available during holidays and the summer. As of 12/2/25: I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have cats so animals need to be friendly with cats. We dog sat for a few weeks and my cats were friendly with the dogs. If the animals must stay with me, I prefer cats as my schedule makes dog walking from my home challenging. I can do drop ins!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lower West Side is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lower West Side
I’ve hired quite a few dog walkers on Rover and although most have been pretty good, Sandie is exceptional! She truly goes above and beyond with her care, communication, and updates/pictures. It’s always hard to leave my dog in the hands of strangers but Sandie has made it easy. You can tell she truly LOVES dogs and is not just doing this for extra income. I would hands down recommend her to anyone!!

Marquette is a wonderful dog walker! She goes above and beyond taking care of my two pups. She provides detailed reports and always makes sure to fill their water bowls and is mindful of the temperature when it’s too hot/cold. I am moving away from the city and will surely miss having someone as caring and reliable as she!

Eunice was absolutely the best. Not only did she agree to take on several days of walks with Goonie at the very last minute, but she was also incredibly punctual and responsive throughout. I have a senior dog who is very sweet but requires extra care, and Eunice handled this beautifully. She showed Goonie nothing but patience, love, and attention, and I truly appreciated her kindness and hard work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog walker.
