Dog Walking in New City, Chicago

“Chau is such the animal whisper. Somehow animals gravitate to her, probably because she understands their boundaries and has a kind soul. I’ve been fortunate to watcher her raise her one year old pup. Her dog is so well behaved and confident, which speaks to the training Chau did with her. Chau is thoughtful and patient. Your fur baby will be in really good hands.”

“Max is a great communicator, very loving toward our dog, does a great job of walking him and taking care of the many needs of a senior dog. We highly recommend him. He is also is very skilled in using training tools for dogs.”

“Crystal was AMAZING- exceptionally helpful in how this service works and what to expect. She sent an adorable picture and my puppers was taken great care of. Thank you Crystal!”

“I have used this pet sitter multiple times for my two cats. He is very trustworthy with my important typical concerns (door, house, shows up time/day promised, reads the specific directions I provide AND follows them) and of course is great with my cats. The feeding/water change is always done as is should be, which of course I expect -- but the reason I prefer this pet sitter is because he's just a natural with them. He's gentle and patient and in a quick period of time earned their trust. I just want my place to be safe, my animals basic needs met, but getting lucky is someone that doesn't come to your house and sit on their phone the whole time but is actually there to authentically interact with your pets as a pet sitter should. I have yet to have a pet sitter I've used off Rover not to sit on their phone the whole visit. Even when I specifically indicate I have cat cams up and ask them to interact with them -- they still just sit on their phone. This sitter has moved out of my area which is really unfortunate, I used him for long and short stays and he was very easy to work with. A very good option if you expect actual caring and interest in your pets. A+, five stars, wish he would move back!”

“Paola is the best! Communicates very well, and treats your fur baby like they're her own.”

“I've worked with Shiri in many settings and shi has always been a compassionate and reliable coworker. That doesn't change when it comes to working with animals, as I have seen first hand. Shi is sweet, caring, & gentle when approaching and is great at noticing little things about pets behavior and possible needs. Shi is great at training and being creative with new activities. Shiri gives great pet care and my fluffy baby lynx loves to snuggle up next to them. I definitely know whoever works with Shiri will be pleased and so will their fuzzy friend.”

“I'm usually pretty nervous about leaving my dog with new caretakers while I'm away on trips or stuck in office but I lucked out finding someone as reliable and awesome as Logan! My 5 year old pup absolutely adores him and the attention/care he receives when Logan comes to visit. I love the communication and consistent updates that I get from Logan when he's overnight sitting for me or just taking my fur child for walks around the neighborhood. You can tell how much he loves dogs by how patient he is with not only the doggos but their anxious parents as well. It's a relief to know I can leave my fur child with someone I can trust when I have to be away. I honestly don't know what I would do without him!”

“Coretta takes very good care of our 2 dogs! She walks them on a regular basis and makes sure they have enough food and are properly hydrated. What I love most about Coretta is how she interacts with them. They have completely different personalities and Coretta keeps up! She's also punctual and always follows instructions. If you want a loving, professional pet caregiver, Coretta is the way to go!”

“Derek has helped me with house sitting my pet for multiple days while I was out of town. He really made me feel comfortable by following the steps down to the punctuation, as my dog has pretty bad anxiety. He’s one of the few people my Daisy trusts, and I agree with her.”

“Dalila has become one of my dog’s favorites over the past year. She has been incredibly helpful during a very busy year for me and her photo updates of my dog on his walk or field trips to play with other dogs make my day. I cannot thank Dalila enough for all that she does, consistently going above and beyond.”

“Crystal took care of my golden doodle i didn’t have any doubt of leaving my dog with her because i know how she cares for her own pets. during my puppy’s stay she sent me so many updates on how my dog was doing or if he was eating she let me know everything! i know my dog was in great hands with her. She knew what she was talking about and she knew what she was doing! she took such good care of my puppy i don’t hesitate leaving my puppy with her. Crystal is great! 100% recommend!!”

“Yasmine is a compassionate person who has a deep affection for animals. I was unable to bring my dog Snoopy and cat Sage with me to a week-long family emergency. Yasmine took over, walking Snoopy during the day and seeing to it that both animals had access to fresh food and water. Yasmine seems to have a special connection with my animals. With Yasmine's compassionate heart and deep love for animals, you'll never have to worry about your furry family members. 10/10 care!”

“Cassie used to dogsit my german sherpherd when I had to work all day. She was entertaining, followed all the rules I gave her, and would take her on walks. My dog was a huge fan of her because she gave her the full attention! Hiring Cassie would be a very good choice, she is responsible and knows how to take care of dogs.”

“10/10 recommend! Mike is absolutely wonderful with all dogs that he comes in contact with. His background and experience with dogs in a military setting makes him an excellent leader and dog trainer. Mike is more than just a dog sitter! He genuinely cares about all animals and gives tons of attention to the dogs he watches and works with. I trust Mike with my dog 100% and I believe you should too.”

About: Before I became a Dog mom, I previous owned and cared for cat, turtle, and 2 dogs. Living near a park we spent a lot of days enjoy walks and fun play. Trained dogs to be off leash trained to enjoy the parks or adventures to the dog park. On warmer days enjoy the yard and fill the pool for dogs to jump and cool off. For puppies embrace doggy pads and frequent trips outside. Have potty trained, crate train, and leash train in the past. Just trying to help doggies live their best life. I work remotely, so scheduled walks of min 15 mins about 3 times a day for same day care and 4 for overnight care. So plenty of time to have fun with the dogs and making them feel comfortable I have a fenced years for you dog to feel safe and secure. Also have - small dog to give your fur baby a friend to play with. I keep mail trimmers, deshedder, and shampoo at the ready if bath is needed.

About: I have been a dog owner and have had dogs and some cats since the age of 5. I have cared for, paid, and even traveled with a Shih Tzu breed that I currently have, and have had many Doberman Pinschers in the past. I feed, bathe, take them to the park for play and walk, and even watched my neighbor's pets while they were gone. I'm currently working part-time remotely on the days of Monday-Friuay. However, I do have time to take dogs for a walk on weekends after 10 am. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Shih Tzu who is people-friendly and also makes sure she is not exposed to objects in the yard or house. I also have a bed in the living room and her own in my room for comfort. She also takes Heartguard for prevention of fleas, ticks, and ring worm and is rabies vaccinated.

“Michelle was a fantastic petsitter and dogwalker for my Golden Retriever, Wrigley. She was communicative, responsible, and showed love and passion for her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pets, she's truly the best.”

“Janessa is the sweetest! She takes the best care of our new puppy during his daily walks. She takes pictures and provides tons of puppy play-time!”

“Jamauri is great with Rachel, he goes above and beyond ! Rachel is my fur baby so I really do appreciate him. I would trust him with Rachel any day.”

“Treasure is a very loving, responsible, and organized pet caregiver. She is very attentive to my pups by paying attention to their needs. Her playful bond with the pups is so strong, that they stay under her, and ignore me whenever she's around...lol”
