Dog Walking Near West Side

“Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.”

About: Since I was little I’ve always loved and adored animals, from all kinds of dog to cats and little ones like guinea pigs. For the past 7 years I’ve pet sit my neighbors, friends, and family’s pets - including senior dogs, bonded cats, and puppies. From my experience I can say that every dog and cat is totally different and needs their needs meet in their own way, which I always strive to achieve. I’m currently on summer break from college, so I am available everyday in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. When the school year starts up again I will only be entirely available on certain days. When I’m pet sitting your pets, my top priority is always their comfort. I always love to get to know them or even meet them before pet sitting or walking them. Even during quick visits and walks, I always want them as comfortable as they can be with me.

About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter walking and caring for dogs and cats in the past. I also was raised around animals and have lots of experience with my own pets. I am walking dogs on a relatively flexible schedule this summer, and while my primary availability is Friday-Sunday, I am open to discussing other times and days to work with your dogs! I always carry pepper spray and a personal safety alarm to ensure both my and your dogs safety. I will also stick to familiar parts of the city so both of us can be comfortable and safe.

“Annie has been super sweet and made getting care for my dog super easy! She came over for a meetup beforehand to make sure my dog was comfortable with her, which I appreciate.”

“Omar is great! He’s walked my dog a few times and will be watching both my dogs while I’m on vacation next week. He’s responsive and friendly. He’s on time. He follows all my instructions and was great with my dogs. I’m looking forward to having him as my permanent sitter!! 10/10 recommend.”

About: I unfortunately have not had the pleasure of having a dog in my youth so to make up for it I’ve taken care of dogs from my family and friends! I’ve handled feeding, walks, dog sitting and giving oral medication. Update: I’ve been sitting for a lot of cats recently (YAY) so cat owners don’t be scared. I’m here to help! I’m familiar with play, cleaning litter boxes, giving wet food (with or without a little bit of water), and lots of pets. I work part time during the week. It’s not shown on the Rover calendar but my summer schedule is drops ins/walks M-TH after 5:30pm then Fridays and weekends 10am-7pm for drop ins and walks (longer hours for house sitting of course). I’m currently getting my masters online which is why my hours don’t completely fall into the Rover options but I’ll try to be as accommodating as possible! How I care for pets within the clients home is completely up to you! We can do feedings, play, go on walks, etc. Whichever way you’re comfortable with me being in your space with your furry friend :). Let me know how you want me to provide for them and it’ll be done!

“Eunice did a great job communicating AND being independent with taking care of Zoey. She provided a great update and managed to capture Zoey’s full personality in her report card and photos. We will definitely book with Eunice again!”

About: I have been around dogs both large and small since I was a little kid, and have always loved playing and walking with them. But I also have experience caring for senior animals and animals with specific dietary needs/restrictions. My experience with cat-sitting is a bit newer, but I have experience staying with multiple cats of or below 1 years of age. I'm currently unemployed, so I am available for for extended hours. This includes overnight or 24-hour stays during the middle of the week. I am also available for dog walks or quick visitations during work hours. I am adaptable to your dog's many needs and quirks. From diets to walking schedules, to their favorite TV show, every dog needs tailored care, and I am ready and willing to provide! I am willing to send updates, including medical or if you're just missing your baby and want photos.

“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

April D.

“Diana is the absolute sweetest. Both of my pets love her so much. She’s fabulous about updates and always follows feeding and medication instructions to the letter.”

“Anthony was a fantastic walker for my dog! He did a great job of being adaptable based on multiple factors, including her needs and the weather. I would absolutely trust him to work with her again(:”

About: I bring a calm, safety‑first approach to pet care thanks to my background in hands‑on operations and emergency response. I’ve worked in fast‑paced environments where attention to detail, communication, and animal safety were non‑negotiable, and that carries directly into how I care for pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m especially good with pets who need a little extra patience or structure. I’m reliable, observant, and always make sure animals feel secure, whether we’re out on a walk or settling in at home. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and understood. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I keep a consistent, structured schedule. I’m available for drop‑ins and walks during the day and early evenings, and I build my week so I can give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I’m flexible with timing and can accommodate last‑minute needs when they come up. My goal is to make your routine easier and keep your pet feeling safe and cared for while you’re away. I take a calm, safety‑first approach in every home I enter. I follow your routines exactly—feeding, litter, walks, medications, and any house rules—so your pet stays comfortable and your home stays just the way you left it. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and windows, and I always double‑check that your pet is secure before I leave. I keep the environment clean and low‑stress, whether that means refreshing water, tidying up after meals, or making sure litter boxes are fully cleaned. I’m respectful of your space, careful with your belongings, and focused on giving your pet a safe, predictable experience while you’re away.

About: I have about 2-3 years of professional experience pet-sitting, and I have cared for my own dog and neighbors’ dogs & cats for six years and take animal care very seriously! I’m reliable, observant, and always willing to research and follow instructions to provide loving, attentive care. With a huge passion for animals, I am highly motivated to provide the most safe and loving space for them. I’m currently temporarily working part-time, with a very flexible schedule! We can discuss the exact dates & hours beforehand so I can plan everything accordingly. Communication is key! In my household, comfort, health, and happiness are the top priorities. This includes being attentive to the pet, giving them love and attention, and keeping a clean environment.

“Nataliia has been great! My dog can be a little anxious, but she is patient and built trust right away. It’s such a relief knowing he is in kind, capable hands. We especially appreciate the detailed updates after each walk—it shows genuine care and professionalism.”

About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I know that every pet is unique—and they deserve care that’s just as special. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playful companionship, or cozy couch time, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and believe clear communication is key. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands—and maybe even having a little extra fun. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on Sundays, and weekdays after 3pm. However, my schedule is flexible. I provide attentive care for pets, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment, maintaining routines, offering exercise and stimulation, giving affection and attention, administering medical care as needed, reinforcing positive behavior, and maintaining open communication with owners.

“Sofiia was a wonderful referral who helped me last minute when my usual walker couldn’t make it. She was communicative and took good care of my little guy! Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been a pet lover all my life. I hold experience in bathing, walking, boarding, and everyday care for dogs! Big dogs, small dogs, high energy puppies, or slow and steady, all dogs have big hearts and deserve to be appreciated. I have a full time availability during the week and weekends. I mostly use public transportation but have a car if there needs to be a change in scheduling care or urgency. Please leave a detail description of how you like your fur baby cared for. I want to give them all the love and attention but respectfully to your rules.
