“We are just starting regular walks for our then 10 week old pup and Amy has been so great! She first stopped by to meet us and our pup and get the lay of the land. Since then, she has really been trying to get our pup to walk, farther and farther way! It’s clear that he loves her already and she takes such kind care of him. She’s highly communicative and takes tons of photos, which brightens our day! Really looking forward to continuing to working with Amy and highly recommend!”



“Klara has been amazing to work with and we look forward to continue working with her. She visits regularly to give our dog a bathroom break. She is very patient and was willing to go through several meet and greets so our pup could get used to her. Great communication. Highly recommend!!”


“Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!”


“Appreciate knowing that when my little guy needs and an occasional walk when I’m away for the day, that’s there’s someone reliable in the area to help out! Thanks!”


“Zikra is a Rover Rockstar! She takes excellent care of my fun-loving little furry fella! She is extremely courteous and timely with her communications. A true professional in her field; or for us its the park down the street. 4 paws up and a wagging tail makes her a 5 star candidate all the way!”


“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”


“Caroline is so dependable and truly great with dogs. Sue absolutely loves our dog and he looks so forward to playing with her. I have complete trust in her knowing Cody is in great hands.”


“Lauren is fantastic! So communicative and easy to work with. Our little French bulldog loved her too, and we are grateful we had someone we could rely on to check on and walk her every day. Will definitely hire again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I would care for my neighbors animals when they were out of town. I’ve always loved dogs and have a 7 yr old Labradoodle, Max, that I rescued when he was a four month old puppy. He had escaped from his original owners and been missing for two days. Please found him and he can run over by a car. They couldn’t save his leg so he’s a tripod. He doesn’t even know he’s missing a leg. Max loves walks, water, and playing with his best doodle friend, Molly. I also have a lot of experience administering insulin shots for dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies the way I care for mine. I am semi retired and my time is very flexible. I’m available for daily walks or pet sitting. I’ll care for your fur baby exact same way I care for mine. My dog Max is living his best life with me. He receives lots of love, walks, snuggles, and playtime. I would give your dogs the same care and affection.

About: I am an experienced dog owner and a current Rover customer. I love dogs and supporting other pet parents in need of dog walking or home visits. I live in the Glenview area and happy to support local area. Responsible and accountable to provide support when needed. I work from home which too allows for flexibility. As a responsible and veteran dog owner, I am alert, aware, and proactive in your dogs care, and safety to ensure our visits are always welcomed by your pet and you can feel relief knowing your dog is in good hands.

About: I have lived with, trained, brought up and loved dogs all of my 60 years. Currently I live alone and travel quite a bit for work so cannot own a dog myself but am happy to take care of yours when I'm available. I would not be a good regular sitter due to my schedule, but generally, you can count on me to look after your pup or cat while on vacation or whatever. I have lots of experience with senior dogs, and have on occasion babysat at your home if you are comfortable with that situation. I walk a lot around my apartment complex, which is very welcoming to dogs. I am also home during the day so your pup is not alone. When you board your dog with me, you can expect he or she would get a walk in the morning, around noon and during the evening with some short outside breaks as needed to do his or her business. If I visit your home, I can walk once a day for about 20-30 minutes.

About: Hi, first a little bit of what I do: I am a digital media consultant and producer, working from home with a flexible schedule. Now for the animal lover in me: I grew up with animals and am comfortable with pets so if you have a cat and a dog, I am more than happy to be there for both of them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs, playing with cats so they aclimate to people as they prepare for adoption. Personally, I’ve had three cats and a dog since I was a kid. I know pets need love and care and when you are not able to, I can be a substitute to watch out for them and keep them feel safe and happy!

About: I have a lifelong love for dogs, having grown up walking and taking care of them! My experience includes handling various breeds and sizes, ensuring their safety and happiness during walks. I am excited to care for your furry family member! I have open availability to walk your pups during the week! My schedule is very flexible, and I am willing to work with you to ensure your dog(s) needs are met. I have a friendly fur baby to keep your dog(s) company! My house is “pup proof” ensuring there is no accessible food or items pups may want to chew on. Instead, I have a full basket of toys they can play with!

“Helena has been amazing with our dog! I made sure Helena met our dog and ME before we began our walks and I was fortunate Helena agreed. From the moment our dog met Helena he was calm and receptive to her care. Typically, our dog is distrustful of strangers coming into our house, but he didn't respond that way with her. Helena has shown herself to be very dependable, responsible, loving and has the trust of our dog and his dog parents. I strongly recommend her.”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to birds, fish, and even hermit crabs! I currently have a 5-year-old Labrador who’s full of energy and loves to test my leash skills, so I’m very familiar with handling strong, enthusiastic dogs on walks. I also had a cat for 10 years and know how to meet both affectionate and independent pets where they’re at. Whether it’s senior pets, puppies, or any sized animal with special personalities, I approach each animal with patience, respect, and love. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, I'm already walking my high energy Lab multiple times a day, so I’m used to staying active and planning around pet needs. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate any time in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings during the week and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or longer stays, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort above all else, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. At your home, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s space, and keep the environment calm and secure. I always double check doors, gates, and leashes to prevent any escapes, which I have personally learned from my own dog. If your pet stays at my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space designed to reduce stress and encourage play and relaxation. I’m experienced with animals of all temperaments, from high-energy Labs to shy cats, and tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. I’m fully committed to building trust with both you and your pet through consistent communication, timely updates, and a compassionate attitude.

Jennifer D.
“Jenny adopted a tripod dog several years ago. She and Max have been BFF’s to Molly and me ever since. When Molly was diagnosed with diabetes Jenny was at my side as the vet explained the best way to care for her. We were both taught how to administer insulin to Molly. Since then Jenny has fed and given Molly her insulin on many occasions when I have not been home to do it myself. She also would take Molly on walks with her and Max. Jenny is reliable, responsible and kind; the kind of person I would want to care for my dog!”

“I've known Joanne for over 15 years. She's been a dog-lover/owner for all of that time. I trust her 100%. She treats her dogs, dare I say it, better than I treat my children :) Dogs are one of her greatest passions and she will treat your love the way she treats her own. She works well with rescues and has first-hand experience working with anxious dogs. She's quite fit and up for long, rapid walks for more energetic pets.”
