“Janette was AMAZING!!! Not only was she very thorough, she was so incredibly kind and caring. Not once did I ever have any hesitation about her caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for an overnight Spring Break surprise. I felt comfortable with Janette immediately upon meeting her and knew this would be a wonderful addition! She was AMAZING with our pets and sent updates and photos with every walk. Before she left, I knew we'd be using her again - she really took the panic and uncertainty out of pet care while we were away.”
“Michael was great with Rocky. My father had hip surgery two weeks ago so it's a load of stress off my mind that we found someone that can help when my brother or myself are not available. Michael was prompt and professional and sent pics while out on their walks. Rocky really likes him! Will definitely be using again! Thanks Michael!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“I felt really at ease and happy with Nicholas. This was the first time me using Rover and I was very pleased with the outcome and with Nicholas. Thank you!”
“Katy is wonderful! She's a natural with animals, super responsive and reliable. She took tons of pictures and gave a detailed account of the walk with my pup. I'd definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a bunny. I've had pets of all sizes and personalities and know how important it is to have someone you trust when you're away. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or a relaxing walk, I treat every pet like my own. Let me give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve💜 I work from home most weekdays and have flexibility to pop in and spend some time with your fur babies or stay a few hours and work from your home. I can either go to your house and spend a few minutes or a few hours depending on you and your fur babies needs. Open to options
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for and walked all types of dogs, from small breeds to large dogs up to 80 pounds, old and young. Friends, family and neighbors trust me because I have a calm, caring energy that dogs naturally respond to. I’m dependable, loving and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently retired and home most of the time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, affection and frequent walks. I truly treat every fur baby as if they were my own. I live in an apartment, so walks and outdoor breaks are frequent. When house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent.
“Hannah is quick to respond and has a great touch with animals. Our pups took a liking to her right away and enjoy getting a visit midday. So far, her communication has been stellar!”
About: I volunteered at PAWS Chicago, walked dogs at Chicago K9 Rescue, and lived and cared for a cat in the past. Super comfortable around animals. I’m a college student on break for the summer, so there isn’t much going on day to day; my schedule is very flexible. I will be patient with your pet and try to make things as comfortable as possible for him/her. I will also respect your home and any rules you set for your house.
About: I’m a pet loving individual here to help and protect your fur babies in your absence. My name is Cynthia and I currently have two cats, one beagle/hound dog, one hermit crab and a beta fish. I am patient, flexible, caring and have dog and cat training experience, since I grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds. I’m flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal and will treat your dog/cat like our own plus accommodate as necessary. I’m active and love going on dog walks or cat sitting and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. Happy to provide references. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of more than one pet. I’m also flexible either morning or evening works good for me. I have a big fenced yard and two crates (size small and medium) if needed. I also have a friendly dog who can play and keep your fur baby company.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from growing up with them to raising my own now. I currently care for a black Lab with a strong personality, so I understand leash control, structure, and clear boundaries. I’m calm, consistent, and confident with all breeds, including high-energy or reactive dogs. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, cleanup, and calming routines. Whether your dog needs structured exercise or just a reliable visitor, I’m ready to show up. I work part-time with a consistent, flexible routine that allows me to care for your dogs during the day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins: • Mondays after 11:00 AM • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 8:00 AM If your dog needs structured exercise, calm energy, or just a mid-morning break, I’ve got you covered. While I do not offer in-home boarding, I provide dependable drop-ins and walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I live with my own dog, Sam, who is reactive to other animals, so I cannot bring pets into my home — but this also means I understand how to work calmly and respectfully with dogs that may need space or structure. I’m confident handling leash reactivity, high-energy dogs, and special instructions.
About: I’ve had dogs in my household since I was 4 years old and all of my family has dogs. I currently own a Great Dane so I’m comfortable walking or watching any size dog. I love all types of dogs big or small! I’ve spent time letting out dogs for friends and family and have also volunteered at a pet shelter giving dogs walks. I am not working right now so my schedule is very flexible. I currently take care of one family of dogs for an hour in the afternoons otherwise I’m available the rest of the day to let dogs out or take them for walks. I would be able to come to the client’s home to let the dogs out or take them for a walk if that is what is asked.
About: I have experience with many types of animals, including my own. I have volunteered at standard animal shelters and even horse rescues. I have been sitting for a few months now with some wonderful families. Check out my references for more details! Fun Fact: I have also owned cats, dogs, and even a guinea pig. Since I am an online nursing student, I have a completely flexible schedule. You tell me when you need me! I am available weekdays, weekends, and weeknights. I am great with medication management as well as making sure your pet has adequate play time outside their traditional routines. I am also good at following directions on how you want your pet's day to look.
About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule as someone who creates my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate many different schedules and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)
“Katherine is attentive to Nigel’s needs and always provides updates during their daily walk. Her help is very appreciated and I know Nigel always enjoys their daily walks too!”
About: I love dogs. I am the go to person to take care of my friends and family's dogs when they are out of town.

I have a 5 bedroom house, including a full finished basement, and a gated yard so there's plenty of room for the dogs to hang out
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, from small and toy breeds to large and working breeds. I’m familiar with breed-specific needs, energy levels, and behaviors, and I tailor my care to make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. I am working part time so I have pretty open availability between mon-fri and throughout the weekend. I would have plenty of time to care for your animals! I pay close attention to behavior and health cues, which allows me to respond quickly if something seems off. Clear communication is important to me, and I keep pet parents updated with photos and detailed messages so they always know how their pet is doing. Above all, I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.

Elizabeth was an amazing care taker of our dog Sammy. She was very friendly and always on time. She even gave him extra care when he was having tummy issues. She also took the cutest photos of him which really touched our hearts. I would highly recommend Elizabeth for her wonderful care taking services! Excellent job!
First time using Rover and I have full confidence in Claire C. I have a senior dog with health issues so I’m always concerned but Claire allows me to relax and focus on my job. Her communication is perfect and ability to adjust to dogs needs are fantastic. I appreciate her. Highly recommend.
We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.
Mirna is amazing! Milo looks forward to his walks with Mirna because she lets him take walk at his own pace and is so sweet around him. We look forward to her "Rover Card" every day because she is very detailed with her notes and you can not only tell she has experience with dogs, but also loves them. Thanks for everything you do.
Nicholas is a fantastic dog walker! He's trustworthy, flexible, friendly, consistent, and most importantly he's truly great with my little puppy. He takes great care of her and sends regular videos of them playing. I can tell they really enjoy their time together. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog walker!
