“Pablo has a lot of experience dealing with any kind of dog. Our dog is not an easy one with new people but he managed her amazingly. Thanks you Pablo for being careful and kind with Suki.”

“Emily does a great job walking my corgi Chloe! She’s friendly, sends pictures, and communicates after each walk. I can tell my dog really likes her and is excited to go on a walk with her. I’d highly recommend her!!”

“Ana has walked my dog Amelia several times now, and it’s always been a breeze working with her. I know my pup is in great hands and well taken care of.”

“Kelly was so great with Pixie! She kept me updated on all aspects of their walk and took lots of great pictures. I really appreciated that she made sure Pixie was settled and comfy at home before leaving her. I can tell she cares about dogs and making sure they are safe and loved.”

“I had an outstanding experience with Mike. Not only was his profile and reviews impressive, Mike was professional, experienced, and genuinely cared for Harper, arranging a meet-and-greet beforehand to understand her needs and routine. During the walks, Mike provided regular updates and photos, showing Harper happy and well-exercised. His attention to detail and dedication gave me peace of mind, and Harper adored him. I highly recommend Mike on Rover for anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog walker.”

“Stefanie was amazing. In the middle of their walk it started downpouring. She asked a local gym if it was okay for them to hang out while it rained and they agreed. So Stefanie and Mater welcomed guests while it rained. She kept us informed all the time and Mater was very happy. Thank you Stefanie.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am completely obsessed with them! My current pup turns 4 this November (stop growing up 🥹), and before him, I had a dog for 16 years, so I’ve experienced everything from puppy energy and zoomies to senior care. I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to leave them with someone you can truly trust. Since high school, I’ve also regularly cared for and walked neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ dogs. I’ve helped with everything from walks and playtime to overnight stays, including having dogs stay at my home or staying at their homes while their owners are away. I genuinely love giving dogs lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. I’m very active and especially love going on walks and keeping pups moving and entertained! I’m comfortable with puppy energy, feeding/fueling, keeping them on their routines, and even coming home with plenty of dirty paws 😂. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently completely free until September 8th that I start a clinical. During clinical my hrs will typically be M-F 8-4:30 pm, with an occasional working Saturday (Oct 3rd & 24th) and in that case, I’d have a day of the week off. So definitely communicate with me or request to book incase I am free. I know my schedule is a bit limited with clinical but I am open to walk dogs after the shifts in evenings! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and will keep things clean and secure. I’m also attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns so your pet stays safe while in my care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I currently live in a one bed one bath apartment with a big balcony space with a doggy area in my building and next to Washington Park where there’s grass and plenty of other dogs to mingle. There’s plenty of space to walk around to take on long or potty walks.
“Emily Rose was great with our dog, Anakin, and we look forward to having her do more dog walks for us. She is reliable, trustworthy, and a good communicator.”


About: Hi! I've been taking care of both dogs and cats for 5 years and I have a deep love for both animals! You can count on me to treat every pet with the same exact care and love that I'd want for my own. I have two cats at home (that act like dogs 😁) but I absolutely adore dogs and have worked with all kinds of pets, from high energy pups/kittens to rescues who might need some extra patience and comfort. I genuinely love going for walks, so if you have a dog that needs to burn off energy on longer strolls, they'll be in great hands! I look forward to meeting you and your babies! My schedule is very flexible as I'm only working part time currently, making it easy for me to accommodate specific times. Because I'm generally only out of the house for short 2-3 hour stretches for errands, I have great daytime availability! This allows me to stick strictly to your requested visit times, feeding schedules, and walk routines without delays. Security and safety are my top priorities when entering your home for walks or drop in visits. I always double check that doors, gates, and windows are securely locked behind me, and I completely respect your living space like it's my own. For walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash at all times, stay mindful of hot pavement or extreme weather, and avoid interactions with other animals or off leash dogs, just to be safe! During drop ins, I do check the area for any hazards, make sure fresh water is always available, and stick strictly to your instructions for feeding, medication, or entry/exit rules.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, play with, supervise, and stay with pets, and I love that the people in my life continue to trust me with their animals again and again. Most recently, I lived for two years with a very energetic Golden Retriever and her cat brother, so I’m very comfortable switching between completely different personalities and energy levels! Whether your dog wants to play nonstop, go for a long walk, chase a ball around the house, or curl up next to me for attention, I’m more than happy to meet them where they are. I’m patient, affectionate, attentive, and not afraid of a high-energy or playful dog. I genuinely enjoy getting down on the floor and playing with them, throwing their favorite toy 100 times, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I know every animal has their own personality, and getting to know what makes each pet feel happy and comfortable is one of my favorite parts of caring for them! Hiii!! I’m Allison, a lifelong animal lover with a caring, compassionate personality and a genuine love for spending time with pets of all kinds. I currently work part-time in healthcare while studying for my nursing boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and quality time with your furry family members! Working in healthcare has made me extremely dependable, attentive, patient, and comfortable following detailed instructions. I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for someone you love, and I bring that same level of responsibility and compassion to caring for animals. I’m very active and love being outside, so I’m always happy to take an energetic dog on a long walk, play fetch, explore the neighborhood, or spend extra time getting their energy out. At the same time, I’m just as happy cuddling up on the couch with a senior dog, keeping a shy pet company, or having a relaxing movie night with them. I truly love animals of all sizes, breeds, ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to match whatever routine makes your pet happiest! I take a lot of pride in being clean, organized, and respectful. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat your space with the same care I would my own. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention — and to come home to everything exactly as you left it!
About: I have had pets my entire life and have enjoyed taking care of them. I love meeting new furry friends and learning their behaviors. My friends and their parents call me as their go to gal for taking care of their pets while they travel. When someone puts me in charge of taking care of their pet, they know their pet is in good hands. I have experience with energetic pets that take patience. I love walking dogs because of the health benefits for myself and the dog. As a college student, I am always looking for active ways to take study breaks. Safety, for myself and the dog, is my top priority. I have learned behaviors signaling a safety hazard and know how to immediately address them.

Cary is the best - he is my dog Jet’s favorite walker! Cary is highly communicative and prompt. Jet can be anxious when I’m not around. Cary has been patient with gaining his trust and working with me to align on the best way to navigate Jet’s quirks. We truly appreciate all of Cary’s efforts!

Pashan has been wonderful with Zeus! I needed help walking him because of early-morning doctor appointments, and she responded right away. Scheduling with her was smooth and easy, and she is always friendly and punctual. Zeus felt comfortable with her from the very beginning, which immediately put me at ease. Pashan also consistently provides updates about their walks and activities together. We feel very fortunate to have found someone so dependable and caring, especially since we are new to the city. I highly recommend her!

Maria was fantastic with Leo! He is reactive and scared of other dogs and Maria did well to keep him safe and worry free during my vacation. She went above and beyond walking him longer than asked and followed all my helicopter-parent instructions. I also got updates on each of his walks with photos showing he was relaxed which helped me relax. I will definitely be booking her again and will recommend to all my pet parent friends!

Jessie was very communicative. She let me give all the crazy dog mom details about my dog. We met up briefly before the walk, more so she knew I was real since I’m new here. After the walk, Jessie provided a detailed description of the walk. She clearly understood my dog and his behaviors when describing him not wanting to walk. Would definitely call on Jessie again.
