Dog Walking Minooka

“Erica has been so patient and accommodating to me and my sweet pup. Penny takes time to warm up to people and Erica went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable (bringing her treats, playing from a distance prior to walk, etc.) I definitely recommend her! Penny is beyond excited when she sees Erica now !”

About: I am a retired teacher who has rescued and raised both cats and dogs from 6 weeks old through their geriatric years. I am comfortable reinforcing puppy potty training and basic obedience skills while you are away. Pets with separation anxiety find me to be gentle and patient, and I am experienced in working with animals who have physical challenges. I guarantee your fur babies will be showered with love while in my care! Please note: I CANNOT accept assignments for dogs larger than 45 lbs. I have extensive availability on weekends and most holidays. My schedule during weekdays is flexible; however, I may have limited availability to check in or walk dogs during school hours if I have accepted a substitute teaching job. Safety is my number one priority! I will make sure your dog is comfortable and safe according to your instructions before finishing the assignment, and will make sure to keep you posted with photos so you will not be worried.

About: I have dog sit for 10+ families over the course of 8+ years! Not only do I treat your animals and home just like family, but I always try to make sure I leave your house in better condition than you left it! I do except house, chores and cleaning as well. Feel free to text me for any further information! I do currently work as an insurance agent from 9 to 5, but have flexible hours and can work from home if needed! If pet needs full 24 hour attention, please give me a notice for booking! I like to housesit for the comfort of your own pet! Not only with you being gone out of the house your furry friend in a new environment could stress them out a lot more. If your pet has any disabilities, or mental struggles, please give advance notice, so I can make sure your baby is properly taken care of!

“We love using Holly to walk our dogs when we are out of town! She is so great with our two dogs and we know they are in good hands. She is very friendly and always shows up on time for their morning walk. We appreciate her help so much!”

“Jennifer was great! Riley loved her! He came back from his walk and crashed just as I wanted him to do. She sent me a picture during the walk and I could see in his face that he was happy. Jennifer is very personable and we will definitely call her again in the future!”

About: Asst in training service dogs, have had dogs for the past 25 years. I have also had cats but do not have one currently. I watch my neighbors' animals, to include a bunny and other small animals as well. I currently work from home most days and am able to work from anywhere with my laptop if I am needed to stay at your home. This also gives me the availability to leave for breaks to take your animal out for small walks or potty breaks during the day. I have always had 3 dogs at a time, but I just lost my last fur baby in January 2026 so we just got a puppy in April as I just can’t be without a fur baby. I care for my animals as family, not pets, they sleep with me and my husband and go with us when we are able to take them.I provide more of a motherly service and will care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own. This includes playing and snuggling.

About: Animals have always been my happy place. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I’ve also helped family and friends by letting their dogs out, taking them on walks, and caring for them while they were away, including keeping a friend’s dog in my home for a week during vacations. While I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m also available most Thursdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any routines your pet is used to. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

“Absolutely amazing! Katherine not only booked on short notice (I was freaking out because our normal walker had to cancel last minute!) She was personable, went above and beyond and most importantly to me, Cookie loved her! It’s always scary leaving our pets home for trips etc. Katherine will put you at ease. Thanks again!!!”

About: Ive grown up with pets my whole life from puppies to seniors. This makes me versatile in taking care of any pet age, even training. I love any and all breeds of dogs with no preference. I also have had multiple dogs at the same time my whole life so caring for multiple pets at a time is no problem. I am currently home from college for the summer so my schedule is almost always open. I work at a restaurant in Plainfield a few nights a week for a couple hours otherwise I’m always available for your fur babies. I am very flexible in your personal rules of watching your pet. Crating, walking, or even supervised outside time are all things I respect along with anything else you specifically need for your pet. I have also had large and small dogs. I would love for your pet to stay in routine so I will try to follow that as closely as possible

About: I love animals and have a pretty flexible schedule for boarding, care-taking, or walking services. I love being outdoors but am also a home body at heart, which is why boarding is very fun for me. I’m a teacher, so summers and breaks during the year are great times I can commit a lot of for pet care. I also get off work earlier than most, so I would be around for early afternoon walks. I’m home most weekends which is when boarding would work best for me. I don’t have any other pets at my home so there would not be any issues with other animals. I am also very trustworthy if needed to be at a client’s home.

About: Hi there! I’m very caring, calm & pet smart – 7 years of experience including 3 years on rover: with dogs, cats, puppies & seniors. Reliable, playful, and always on time. Please note: Rover requires sitters to set standard daily rates on their profile, but I’m very flexible with pricing and happy to work within your budget whenever possible. My main goal is providing loving, reliable care for your pets, so if the listed rate doesn’t fit your needs, feel free to reach out and we can discuss a price that works for both of us! I’m available any day and time, except when I’m on vacation or away at school! I’m flexible and happy to stay overnight or adjust to whatever your pet needs! I do create a calm, safe space and follow all pet routines closely—whether at my home or yours. Pets are loved, watched, and always comfortable.

About: I will love your pets like they were my own! I have always had animals from multiple sized dogs, to cats, to hamsters and birds. My friends regularly reach out to have their pets stay with me while they are on vacation. I have always had animals and actually purchased my home for the fenced in yard so they could be free and play! I catch up with all the dogs in the neighborhood as they walk by. I know all the dogs names, it’s the peoples names I struggle with. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run & play. I have always had multiple dogs and a cat and miss them every day.

About: I have taken care of dogs and all kinds of pets since I was a child, for friends and family! I have experience with many different breeds of dogs ranging in different sizes as well as many different ages. I currently am only pet sitting/dog walking so I have plenty of time for drop-ins and dogs walk to keep your pets happy and healthy. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to play your pets, as for in your own home I can play fetch in back yards as well as take your dogs on walks!

About: Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m a labor and delivery nurse in the Chicagoland area. Where to begin...I have a Goldendoodle named Delilah and have experience not only caring for my own pup but also pet sitting for families with dogs of many different breeds and ages (Pitbull puppy, senior German Shephard, adult King Charles, etc.). I absolutely love taking pups on walks, playing fetch or just hanging out with them! I am more than happy to adjust to all types of different pups needs whether it be with regard to medication administration or high energy levels - I would be more than happy to accommodate! I would love to share more about my experience or provide references! Can't wait to hear from you!

“Caryn came by for the meet and greet and to understand our Pet’s routine. We have now used her twice and I greatly enjoy the pup reports and photos we get. Would recommend.”

About: I have successfully mothered and nurtured many cats, dogs, bunnies, rats , turtles, fish and birds. Loving each and every one has been one of most rewarding experiences of my life. I work full time, monday-friday. I am off on saturdays and Sunday. I am available most evenings and weekends to provide care for your pets. My home is animal friendly with a huge yard for them to explore. Everyone in my home including my own fur babies, are thriving in the safest and most loving environment that I can provide.

About: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. Many times I have been trusted by neighbor, friends and family members to care for their furry loved ones well they are away. I work part time so I have plenty of time to play and hang out with your pets. Wednesday’s and Fridays are my long days at work but the rest of the week I am pretty flexible. I will take care of your pet in their home. That way they are less stressed and have all the comforts they are use to. But if need to care for your pet at my home I have a fenced in yard and two lovable pups to keep your dog company. I could also crate your dog if needed or requested.

“Madison was great! She is very sweet and prompt. She sent me a bunch of photos and Mara, my dog, looked so happy! I’ll be reaching out to Madison again to help me out!”
