Dog Walking Northwest

About: I grew up on a farm, so I took care of cats, dogs, and various other farm type animals like horses and cows quite frequently. I also have a cat and two dogs back home that I take care of whenever I go back home. I’m currently waiting to hear back from multiple full time jobs, however this can take a while so at the moment I am usually free 24/7 for any pets who need taken care of! If I was to take a dog to my home, I have plenty of space for them to roam around inside as well as plenty of places outdoors to walk, or even go to the dog park if they enjoy going there. My apartment is perfect for a cat as well because there are plenty of windows for sunbathing and comfortable places to take naps, and for more active cats there is plenty of indoor space to play.

“Alfie just loves Tracey! He was so excited to see her and she took him on a great walk. She made sure to take pictures and let me know how his walk was. I felt super comfortable leaving my guy with her She loves your pets like their her own and is very knowledgeable. Alfie is already looking forward to his next walk!”

“Ericka was absolutely fantastic and took great care of our dog while we were away. She handled walks, mealtimes, and his insulin injections twice a day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. We would book with Ericka again in a heartbeat!!”

About: I was raised on a farm and cared for all sorts of animals, and now i’m a vet teach assistant as well ! I’m a dedicated pet owner myself and do very well with animals of all ages and breeds 🐾💕 I currently work part time at a vet clinic 7a-5p T-F and would love to help care for your fur baby when i’m not in the clinic ! Your fur babies comfort is #1. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, a favorite show or blanket. If a baby needs their own safe environment and a crate is not already available I have options for the client to choose from as well as blankets, sometimes a safe space with an open door makes meeting new people far less scary!

About: You can trust me with your fur baby. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. That's not just experience, it's a relationship with animals that I've built slowly and gladly. At home, I have a one-year-old cat who matches whatever energy the day brings. She's curious, playful, and always exploring. If you want adventure, she'll hike beside you. If you want stillness, she'll curl up while you read. She reminds me every day that the best care isn't just about feeding and walking. It's about presence. Being there. Really being there. That's what I offer your pet. Full love. Full attention. Just as anyone wants to be. They're not just a pet, they're also independent creature that we should all co-exist with. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. So I have plenty of time and energy to take them out for a walk or to play with them. I am also comfortable taking them with me, to parks, to the grocery store, to a cafe etc. I can provide boarding throughout the week so long as I have a heads up notice beforehand. I have a very social cat that loves to play, and I can crate your pet easily as well. I can administer medicine, provide bathing, and walks.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have developed a genuine love for caring for them! From little Dachshunds and Cockapoos to larger Borderdoodles, I've had experience with dogs ranging from 12 to 50 pounds. I've cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and training levels, including those who are fully potty trained and those who are still learning! Being a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, giving lots of attention, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy it all! I'm patient, attentive, and more than happy to accommodate each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels just as loved, safe, and comfortable with me as they do at home! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets! As a dog owner myself, pet care has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing outside, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own routine and individual needs, and I'm always happy to accommodate them. My goal is to make sure your pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away! Writing Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for dogs to play and enjoy time outside. I always follow each owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and daily routines. I'll treat your pets like my own and happily provide pictures and updates so you know they're in good hands!

“Isabella is the best! I have an anxious little guy and was worried about finding someone to care for him while on work trips and he adores her! I cannot recommend her enough! She is so sweet to Cooper and he is such a happy boy every time she stops by!”

About: Hello! I’m a previous employee of multiple pet retailers. As I got short interactions with so many pets, I found myself wanting more meaningful interactions with our fur-friends; so I’m extending my love and knowledge about pets to your furry friends here on Rover! Between my 5 cats and my pup, I can’t get enough! Being able to provide advice and recommend great products to animals is great and all, but I would love to be more hands on and have an even bigger impact. I love animals of all kinds and sizes more than anything, and I can’t wait to provide the same care you give your loved furry friends! Dogs that are shy or even somewhat aggressive to strangers are no problem - I find dogs seem to trust me easily, and it’s highly rewarding to work with them and earn their trust, as well as yours. I look forward to working with you! I am currently doing Rover and other independent scheduling work full time! I am able to provide frequent potty breaks and more focused attention to your fur-baby as a result! While caring for your fur-baby in your home, I will follow all instructions provided and their care routine to a T! Routine is important for our fur-babies, and I want to keep them as happy and comfortable as possible! **For home-sitting: Currently, based on my schedule, I offer the option of 3 check-ins per day with two 20min walks and no overnight stay, OR overnight stay from 7P-7A with one 20min walk mid-day. Additional check-ins or walks can be added to your service for a discount ($5 off) on my normal rate as needed. Please message me to discuss rates for something like a short stay (i.g. Same day sitting for a few hours for pets with separation anxiety).

“Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️”

“Grace was awesome! She was easy to communicate with and I was very happy with her services! I will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.

About: Registered Nurse offering specialized care for senior and special-needs pets in the area, temporarily offering introductory rates to build my client base. As a clinical professional with an extensive healthcare background, I bring clinical observation, safety, and gentleness to pet care. I specialize in providing peace of mind to owners of senior and special-needs dogs and cats who require extra patience or medical support. Because I look after a cat of my own, I know how stressful it is to leave a beloved pet with health challenges at home alone. I offer part-time care with open, flexible daily availability to ensure your pet stays strictly on their routine. Because I choose to work part-time with open, flexible availability, pet care doesn't just squeeze into my routine. Rather, it acts as the anchor of my day. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your pet's specific routine, whether that means a precise morning medication window, a midday wellness walk, or a late-evening check-in. Because I am not rushing between a rigid 9-to-5 job, I can dedicate my full, undivided attention to monitoring your pet’s comfort, pacing, and medical needs exactly when they need me. I love meeting animals right where they live! Because I have a temperamental senior cat who rules my own house, I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes. This environment is especially vital for the senior and special-needs pets I often work with, as keeping them in familiar surroundings dramatically reduces stress. Visiting pets where they are most comfortable allows me to focus on maintaining their precise daily routine, accurately administering any required medications, and providing a calm, dedicated presence right in their comfort zone.

About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a current veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I have previously pet sat for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and would love to care for your pet while you are away. I originally started pet sitting in high school (about 6 years ago) to gain animal care experience. Since then, I have worked at kennels and vet clinics and am learning new skills every day at school! I'm hoping to pet sit while I'm home during school breaks, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to my availability. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs! Because of my family dog at home, I am currently only offering drop in visits, walks, care, etc. at your home. This is to guarantee the health and safety of all animals involved. While pet sitting, I love to keep you updated with photos and notes! If I notice anything at all, I will reach out to you so you can stay informed and make the best decision on how you would like me to proceed with the care of your pet.

About: Not accepting new clients until January 2027. Current clients, my calendar is blocked but send through your dates as a request, and I’ll confirm our availability. We do not offer cat care in our home. We accept up to (2) dogs at a time. If you prefer your dog to board alone, a $35 fee can be added to block our calendar to other clients during your dates. I’ve always owned dogs, cats and horses! I’m now pet-less and looking to love yours occasionally! I’m use to large and small pets. We love going for walks! I work from home and own my own business so my schedule is pretty flexible to be available to care for and play with your pet! I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a 9 year old daughter, so pet must be good with kids! I prefer pets who do not get on furniture but it’s not a deal breaker.

“Thomas was fantastic and I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. He took my dog Fluff on nice long walks throughout the neighborhood, giving him great exercise and time to sniff. They bonded very quickly, which is great given how nervous my dog can be :-)”

About: have extensive experience caring for cats with special needs and common health conditions. I’m familiar with upper respiratory infections (such as feline herpesvirus), ear mites, digestive sensitivities, and post-surgery recovery care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye drops, and ear treatments as instructed by pet parents or veterinarians. I pay close attention to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, ear scratching, appetite changes, litter box habits, and overall behavior to help monitor a cat’s condition. I understand how to properly isolate cats when needed, maintain a clean and low-stress environment, and follow hygiene protocols to reduce the risk of cross-contamination—especially in multi-cat households. I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive cats and take a gentle, calm approach to build trust. My goal is always to keep cats comfortable, safe, and stress-free while keeping pet parents informed with regular updates. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended stays, and I make sure pets are never rushed or left unattended for long periods of time. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and trust in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow all care instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and special needs. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I always monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I’m experienced in managing multi-pet households, maintaining proper hygiene, and ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they’re away.
