About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and hold a very special place in my heart. I truly believe they are family, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and favorite things. Whether it’s a playful pup who wants to run and play, a cuddly cat looking for attention, or a shy pet who just needs someone patient and gentle, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I love giving pets the same care, attention, affection, and patience I would want for my own animals. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the week. I’m happy to work with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. My availability may vary from week to week, so I encourage you to reach out and we can find a schedule that works well for everyone! I am able to drop in and check on your pets at anytime while you are away. And I will make sure to follow all instructions so they receive the best care.

“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

About: Ever since I was young, I have always been an animal lover. I have a dog and cat of my own, and I can’t see myself ever living life without a furry companion by my side! As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby in the care of someone else. While your pet is staying with me, I will provide you with daily updates and photos, as well as 24/7 love and attention to your pet! I have previous experience working in a 5 star doggy resort, as well as a plethora of experience volunteering at my local shelters. I’m also a frequent foster for dogs and cats in need of a temporary home. Through these, I have gained lots of dog and cat experience. I have been taught how to administer topical medications, as well as oral medications, trim both dog and cat nails, and work with unsocial and aggressive pets. I also have puppy and kitten experience! If you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message! I am currently working a full-time remote job, so I am able to have flexibility with my schedule. I am able to stay with your pet(s) just about all day, aside from visits to my own home to care for my own fur babies. I currently am only taking drop-in and house sitting requests due to my senior dog who isn’t a big fan of guests in his own home. Since I will be in your home, I will follow your rules. Please let me know any specifics to your pet(s) as far as training, if they’re allowed on furniture, etc and I will make sure to stay consistent with your rules.

About: I strive to cater to each pet's specific needs while providing a reliable service. Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all sizes, reptiles, rabbits, and cats. I've had success with training dogs not to pull when being walked, but I am currently not an accredited trainer. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am normally available on weekdays in the morning and afternoon. I am open to offering my services outside of those hours on a case by case basis, pending availability. I am happy to go over any guidelines regarding pet care, house/yard access, and pet activities during a meet a greet prior to the first visit. I'm a big believer of talking to pets, walking them as much as needed, playing with them, and challenging them mentally. When possible I prefer to walk dogs in a park or on a nature path instead of in a concrete jungle.

Mei Li walked my dog, Sadie, for 30 minutes around our neighborhood. Sadie can pull on the leash and sometimes eat things off the ground, but Mei Li did a great job making sure Sadie was on her best behavior and didn’t get into anything she shouldn’t have. Sadie came back tired from a long walk, and was happy to interact with Mei Li before she left. Sadie will definitely be asking for Mei Li to take her on more walks!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Naperville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
