Dog Walking in Melrose Park

“Robert is a very caring dog lover who asked for your special needs and offers great suggestions when you ask.”

“I can't say enough how warm and loving Kelly is toward dogs. The moment my dog met her for the first time, he ran up to her and acted as though she was his long-lost best friend. She is absolutely the best.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, reliable energy. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort needs, treating them like my own. I do have college classes Tues–Thurs, but I’m completely free Fri–Mon to spend time caring for and hanging out with your pets! Perfect way to spend my free time! When I’m caring for pets at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine like feeding times, walks, and playtime. I keep their space clean, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Dorothy is one of those rare walkers who takes great pride and personal responsibility in her dog walking. She treated our puppies with respect, and always made sure that they got the attention and care that they needed. We look so forward to having her take care of our dogs again!”

“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals my whole life. I have experience managing medication, meals, and playtime. I aim to give your pets and home attentive, loving care as if they were my own. I'm a part-time student taking mostly online classes, and I also work part-time as a server with short shifts (4–6 hours). That means I have plenty of flexibility and time during the day to dedicate to pet care! I will provide a safe and clean environment in your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or administering medicine, all according to the schedule you’ve set. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet with love and respect, and maintain a tidy, secure space while you're away

“My’Anna has been amazing! From the very start, she was quick to reply to our initial request, which gave us peace of mind that our dog would be taken care of. She’s been incredibly gentle and patient with our dog as well. It’s been great to see how Tamalito grows more comfortable with her- we even catch him waiting by the door for her visits on our cameras!”

“Rachael is responsive, friendly and reliable. Our puppy is always thrilled to see her and she has been great at giving our dog some company when we have long days.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of many kind since I was 7 years old. I had my first furry best friend when I was 7 had him up to 6 years rip! Ever since than I’ve helped take care of family’s pets up to friends and people they know of. I tend to feed deers birds and even stray cats I’ve always been an animal lover myself. I have my own frenchie he’s well taken care of and has been my second best friend for a few years now. I do all this for the love and care they deserve even for you guys! Life can be too much sometimes! I love to help and make peoples life easier that’s just me. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care/play for your pets. Mornings any week day can definitely work 5am-4pm (soon I will do this full time!) I have one frenchie, I have a fenced yard, dog toys and 2 dog beds (for fur guests). Bowls for food and water he eats twice a day plus healthy snacks and I leave potty pads at times just in case. He’s well potty trained he cries or whines when he needs to go that’s when I take him out but I’d say he’s taken out at least every 4 hours. I have a a mini dog fence to block the kitchen when I’m cooking.

“If I could give Urany 50 stars I would! Where to start. Urany took care of my pup for 10 days and was wonderful. From check-ins/report cards which were loaded with photos and cute updates, to always being on time and receptive to our needs and requests, she really did go above and beyond our expectations. I personally was hesitant to find a sitter via Rover as this was my first time booking and I have to say, I couldn’t have been luckier we were able to connect! I was out of the country throughout and knew my fur girl was in the best hands. Urany has over 20 years of dog care experience and it shows. She loved my girl as her own and my pup had a great time! Thank you, Urany!”

I’m reliable, communicative, and always send photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend’s in good hands! I’m available Monday through Friday, all day! Whether your pup needs a morning walk, a midday potty break, or an evening stroll, I’ve got you covered. I’m flexible with timing, just let me know what works best for you and your dog!

“Mya has been super responsive when arranging dog walking with me and a total sweetheart with my anxious little guy. She’s a wonderful walker, I highly recommend her!”

About: I have lived with and taken care of pets my whole life. Since I was a little kid, my grandparents have always had 3 St. Bernards that I would frequently baby sit and take care of. I am also known in the office as the pet sitter. When any of my colleagues go out of town, they ask that I either stay at their place or check in daily on their fur babies. Pet care actually fits perfectly into my schedule! I work from home on Fridays and my office is very close to home, so I’m able to check in frequently and keep a consistent routine for the pets I watch. Now that I’ve finished grad school and have more free time, I love filling it with walks, playtime, and taking care of pets. I have no problem following owners specific instructions. I know with my pets, I can be a helicopter parent and ask for very specific things to be done.

“Jamie did a great job walking our dog! We have a 60lb pitbull who can be leash reactive and we felt very comfortable with her walking him. Will definitely hire her again!”

Ben M.

“Sara was very professional, responsive, and seems to have a lot of experience! She met me and my dog before taking us on as clients, which made me feel super comfortable trusting her with my baby. Highly recommend!”

About: I love animals and am passionate about giving them good, healthy lives. I have experience and am trained to work with animals, temper aggressive breeds, and administer medication if needed. I am active and have no problem with long or frequent walks. I work from home, so no animal will ever be left unattended in my care. I don't mind pets on the furniture and I have a wide open living room space for play time. Everything is per your instruction, just let me know any accommodations I can make and Ill have them arranged for your pup! Pet care is a daily part of my routine. I am with an animal every day and I love exercising with them and just generally spending time! I can easily crate a dog if needed, and have a large open living room for play time. I also dont mind pets on the furniture while boarding, but it is all up to the parents instruction

About: I have taken care of my dog Avery for the last six years, becoming a foster failure, which was the best thing that ever happened to me! I am willing to provide whatever care you might need for your fur baby, including going for walks, playing with toys, and giving them all the love. I am comfortable providing any medication as well, if necessary, and I am happy to work with pets of all personality types. I also have experience working with dogs who exhibit anxious behaviors. Whenever I’m around animals, they can expect nothing short of a fun time, full of pets, love, and all the attention! I am a teacher who will be off for the summer, so my availability for drop in visits or dog walking sessions is pretty wide open. Mornings, afternoons, and early evenings would work great, and I could also do late nights during the week. Having used Rover myself for my own dog, I get a great deal of peace of mind getting updates from Rover sitters, so I would want nothing more than to provide that same reassurance to other clients with their pets. I will provide regular updates whenever I have visits with your pet, as I value communication, and I will of course follow through with whatever special requests you might have for your pet.

About: I've been the family pet care taker since I was six years old, I trained them, feed them, walked them, pet sat for them, and groomed them when they'd let me. I started to walk and sit my neighbors dogs when I turned 16. Since then I've been doing it off and on as a side job. Now I would like to make it a full time career. I've always loved animals and will always treat them with the respect they deserve. Looking for local walks and willing to meet & greet. I'm currently a part timer looking for a better job and if I can get some loyal customers then I might not need the part time jobs anymore. I'm constantly aware of where my pets are and what they are doing. Since I'm afraid they might get out the door. Always keep watch.

About: Whether your pup needs a place that feels like home while you are out of town or a fun friend to stay with when you are off at work, you will find what you are looking for with me. As an Ex High school teacher, I know how to be patient and still set boundaries. I have been caring for dogs for about 14 years, and have experience with dogs of all sizes. I know how important reliability and consistency is for our four-legged loves. And I will give nothing but love and attention to your cherished friend. I am available to watch your dog in my home Monday through Friday and am around for sleepovers 7 days a week. I currently work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time and attention to lavish on your pup which is what I love to do. I have a fenced-in yard and the ability to give your special friend a lot of attention. I take oodles of pictures and document our walks, so you know your pup is having fun. I also write personalized texts from your furry companion throughout their visit.
