About: Since I was 11, my neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs + cats. I have handled very large dogs but also small dogs without struggle, with a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. I have worked with multiple special needs animals and can administer any kind of medicine. I am a student so I have summer off right now, but start school august 25th. Most important holidays I will be gone out of town for. I am in a boating family, so most weekends we try to get out onto the lake during the summer!! Mostly only free during summer and Christmas break, I try to keep my calendar up to date but feel free to always reach out! I have a fenced in yard with enough space for your pups to run around and play. My neighborhood is a very safe and quiet area. I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!
“We have been using Nancy as a weekly dog walker for our pup and she has been great! Very communicative and makes sure our dog is well taken care of. Very happy to have found her and looking forward to using her going forward.”
About: I have always been an animal lover and have been a dog parent for nearly 15 years (currently mom to two dogs and one human!) I'm also a hobby pet photographer and pride myself on great communication -- I'll be sure to snap adorable photos of your fur baby to provide real time updates (pupdates). I know the importance of finding someone trustworthy to care for your babies and have a high bar for excellent care! My dogs are also reactive to other dogs and fairly large/strong, so I am very comfortable and experienced with handling this. I am available many days during lunchtime while working from home as well as most weekends. My schedule can often be flexible and I'm happy to discuss your needs to make sure we are aligned! I currently have two dogs so I am focused on care that is at your home and/or on walks. Walking dogs is my favorite activity - rain or shine/summer or winter - I love helping them get fresh air. I will follow your guidance for any in-home care (cats, dog pop ins, etc.)
“Jenny is the best! She goes above and beyond to take care of our pup, and he is always so excited to see her. We love knowing he is in the best hands. She also updates us on how he did with his walks!”
About: I grew up around many dogs. My parents LOVE English Bulldogs and we always had 2-3 in our home whether we were fostering or they were ours. A few years ago we found a cat in the woods and decided to add to the family! After moving out, I have decided to rescue two cats of my own and they have been such a blessing! I also watch my friends dogs and cats from time to time. I am currently studying to be a personal trainer and work at a gym opening a women’s fitness program. My schedule is pretty open currently as I am studying for my personal trainers certificate! I am also a bodybuilder so my life really revolves around the gym! My schedule is currently very flexible. I currently have two cats, and I play with them often. They have many toys and cat trees. I would consider myself very playful. I also love to walk dogs! My bulldogs at home love walks 1-2 times a day which I have been able to help out with when there. I hope to offer similar services!
About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.
“Dar is my go to! She’s so communicative, punctual and detailed with all of her visits. I appreciate the extra care and attention she pays to my 2 big girls. They can be pullers and a little wild, but she handles them with care and grace.”
About: I will be as obsessed with your dog as I am with mine! I adopted my 10 year old Terrier when she was 3 months old. I have pet sat for many friends throughout the years. I have grown to learn how to walk even the stubborn dogs (mine doesn't like to walk in rain or snow). I understand the uncertainty an owner may feel to have someone walk their dog because I felt the same way when I first started using Wag. I know that your dog is part of your family and will tream them as I would treat mine.
About: I had a dog of my own for 14 years until we had to put her down due to old age, nowadays I look for any excuse to be around doggies. I am highly qualified in going for walks, feeding, playing, giving belly rubs, and using the pooper scooper. I'm currently working part time and looking for something that is either a one time job or only for a few hours a week in order to work with my schedule, bring in some extra cash, and most importantly give your pet some love while you're away. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard, so I prefer looking after your pet in your home to ensure that no accidents happen.
About: Veterinary student at the university of Illinois. I grew up with dogs and have always been around dogs and cats! I have experience in basic care, medical care and even some training. I have a 6mo golden retriever puppy with me as well. I am currently not in school and am working flexible hours at an animal hospital! I am free most evenings and weekends! So I can adjust to most schedules I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly golden retriever that loves to play, but will also chill out if that’s what your pet prefers! I enjoy walks, playing and keeping your pet not only supervised but also entertained!
About: Hi, I’m Genesis. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant for four years and now pet sit full-time. That experience taught me how to care for all kinds of pets. Shy, energetic, senior, or on medication. I work a part-time job Monday through Friday from 10am–4pm. I leave the house for work during those hours, but outside of that time I am fully available and spend the majority of my day with your pet, making sure they get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. With a background in veterinary medicine, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that might be unsafe. Whether it’s dropped food, chewed-up toys, or open doors. I don’t allow dogs to meet other dogs while out on walks, and I never do any off-leash activities unless it’s in a securely fenced yard with your approval. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I’m comfortable handling anything from minor issues to emergencies if they come up. Your pet will be in good, experienced hands.
About: I am a person that loves all animals. Some pet parents will leave a small list of the schedule I need to follow. Whenever I come to hang with the cuties I’m always snapping pics and sending them to the pet parents. Just so everyone knows they are in good hands. Whatever it is that y’all need me to do I make sure to get the job done. Sometimes when I babysit if the parents need me to let the dogs out and feed them then I do it. So cats/dogs will get fed and taken out, we will play ball and have a load of fun. I promise I don’t bite and am very easy to talk to. If anyone ever has any questions feel free to ask!
About: I am a dog owner for the past 8 years and own two Setter pups. Friends have entrusted me with their dogs for petsitting and dog walking - in some occasions I would have as many as 4 dogs with me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a dog parent I know how important is to have someone you trust with your baby, I will treat your dog as my own, making sure your dog is safe and happy! My work schedule varies week by week between office and home, which allows me some flexibility. When in the area, I am flexible to go on a walk with your pup to get some fresh air or do a drop in visit to spend some time with them. When I drop in to check on your pup or take on a walk, I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I will keep a close eye on them, always be on leash, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level. Afterward, provide a quick pupdate so you know your pup is happy and well taken care of.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10. I been taking care of my uncle dog about 2 years I love dogs I'm currently working as a bus aide and some of my go-to free time Monday through Friday is my free days in the summertime but would love to do throughout the year I live in a friendly pet apartment with lots of love with pats and won't mind a change I love to walk dogs and cats

Mount Prospect dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tina was very easy to communicate with. She visited us twice before the scheduled services to meet and allow the dogs to get to know her. I have 2 dogs, one of which is very shy around new people. Tina was very patient with her and allowed her to get to know her. I would highly recommend Tina for her patience, her enthusiasm and how awesome she was with the dogs.
Kaitlyn is extremely proactive asking clarifying questions to ensure she can give my dog the care and attention he needs. She's punctual and sent a cute update of Greg on their walk, as well as an update on his reaction when she first came into my house knowing that's something we're working on discipline-wise. You can tell she's an animal person, and I would trust her to walk and care for Greg whenever I need her.
