12. Valerie C.
About: Hi I'm Val and I can't wait to meet your best friend! I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and I've been dog walking and sitting for about 14 years now. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and I grew up with a Rottweiler, a golden retriever, a Bernese mountain dog, and a chihuahua, and have a pittie now, so I'm very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I have availability 7 days a week and can do walking, sitting, and drop in services. I'll always go above and beyond for your pet and I can be as communicative as you’d like during the service. I usually respond to requests and messages very quickly so reach out any time. Thanks! I have a very open schedule and am usually available with short notice (a few hours is ideal but feel free to reach out I’m emergencies too! I’ll get there ASAP). I offer walking, drop-in visits, and sitting at your home. I know it can be a little anxiety inducing to leave your pet with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease! I love to be as communicative as you’d like before and during the service.

14. Breena M.
“Breena was great!! She came to night before for a meet and greet with my dog Jobs. She was on time and is very responsive. She did an awesome job walking him, filled his water, and sent pictures. My dog is a three year old GSP who can pull a lot, but she did great with him. Would definitely recommend!”
15. Sarah & Walter M.

17. Roxanne C.
“Roxanne took very good care of my baby boy! Will def be using her for future walks. You can tell that she genuinely cares for the wellbeing of animals as if they were her own. Tbh I’ve had some kinda crappy dog walkers recently, so it’s great to finally find someone I trust!”
18. Ana C.
“My first time using Rover as I have a newly adopted pit bull who is a rescue and we hadn’t left him alone yet for any significant amount of time. Ana did a great job. She was right on time all day for multiple walks and the pictures were a great help easing our mind that he was doing just fine. Ana worked out great for us.”
