About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

“Shannon took great care walking our dog, who can be stubborn. She was patient with him and gave him lots of pets and encouragement, and over time he became more cooperative. She was also flexible with timing and is easy to work with. He said to give her five stars.”

About: I've been surrounded by the pets of friends and family for my whole life, as a college student, I love petsitting over summer break! I've worked with a diverse range of animals, providing care such as baths, walks, feeding, and most importantly, cuddling! I have experience with dogs with anxiety who need medication as well. I have tons of free time over summer break, and I'd love to help out with your furry friends. Currently on summer break, so pet care would fit seamlessly into my schedule. I'm used to dedicating my summers to animal care, so driving to multiple locations for feedings/walks multiple times a day, or overnight stays, is no problem. I live in an apartment with no front or back yard but am located right across the street from a large park. It may be a little small, but there is more than enough room for animals to roam around. As for pet care outside of the home, I take these duties very seriously and am more than happy to visit multiple times a day, or as necessary. I also frequently take pictures/videos to send updates, and am happy to do so at your immediate request.

“I had a great experience with Robin. She was professional, asked a lot of questions, and kept in good communication with me throughout the time she was working with us. I felt assured that my dog was in capable and caring hands! Highly recommend!”

“Mara was fantastic! She drove out to me for a meet and greet with my pup before I went out of town so we could get him warmed up to her. Even though he was iffy at first, Mara worked to get Cody comfy with her during the 5 days she walked him when he stayed at my mom’s house. Mara was very communicative, kind, and always on time. Thanks so much Mara!”

About: Hi! I’m a nurse and lifelong dog and cat owner who truly understands how much your pets mean to you—they’re family. My background in nursing means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and calm in any situation, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and multiple drop-ins while you are on vacation or other. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special needs or routines. Whether your pet needs extra attention, patience, or just a lot of love, I’m here to provide it. You can expect consistent communication, updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own—with kindness, respect, and genuine care. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work just 3 days per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. On my days off, I have open availability for drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pet without feeling rushed. I also provide dependable care during evenings and weekends—perfect for travel, long work shifts, or last-minute needs. My schedule allows me to be reliable, present, and fully focused on your pet’s routine and comfort.

As a nurse, safety, attention to detail, and trust are at the core of everything I do. I will follow your pet’s routine closely—from feeding schedules to walks, medications, and any specific instructions—so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I’m very mindful of home safety as well: ensuring doors are secure, keeping a clean and calm space, and respecting your home as if it were my own. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being, and I will communicate any changes or concerns right away. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care—so both you and your pet feel completely at ease. 🐾

“Jacqui was an excellent dog walker. She was accommodating on short notice, very communicative, and punctual. My pup got along with her well and he seemed to enjoy the walk! Will definitely be using Jacqui to walk my dog in the future.”

About: I have been watching my friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets for 5+ years now. I offer a “Wow” factor of service that goes beyond the traditional water, food, bathroom routine. When I care for any pet, I take the extra care and time to play and cuddle so your fuzzy friend is never lonely. I make sure to bring my Polaroid camera to take pictures of your pet while you’re away so you never miss a moment and can display your cutie anywhere in the home - completely complimentary! I also have extensive experience with administering medicines like liquids, pills and subcutaneous fluids to differently abled pets. My own cat has needed each of those in the past so I have grown comfortable doing so and take extra care in the practice. My service is exemplary; neighbors who no longer live close to me still call me up to take care of their pets. I can’t wait to take care of yours! I am a primary grades teacher on summer break. This means I have lots of unused patience I typically spend on my little ones to use on taking care of your beloved pets and household, as well as lots of time on my hands to attend to your needs! I care for any pet like they are my pet. As a pet owner myself, it is so hard being away and worrying how they’re doing. When I leave them in others’ care, I would hope they care for my pet like they are their own. I take this philosophy into the homes and lives of others. With extensive practice in child care, pet care and medicine management, and house sitting, I will come to your aid with a lens of empathy and compassion.

“Mya took great care of my pup! She followed my instructions perfectly. Thanks for helping out!”

About: I’ve been on Rover for the past 6 years and I have also had personal experience with taking care of dogs for about ten years. I have made house visits to my neighbors to care for their dogs while they were away and my family also has a dog of that I have taken care of for the past 12 years. I have always been an animal lover and I love to help in whatever ways that I can. Being able to combine my love for animals with my love for helping people by caring for their pets seems like the perfect part-time job to me. I’ve lived in Oak Park for a few years now so I’ve gotten to know the area well and I love getting to meet all the different animals around! (P.S. I’ll also take great pictures of your pets to send while you’re away) I am available full-time during the week and weekends and I have a pup of my own who would love to make some new friends in the area! I live in an apartment with a lot of parks nearby that I would plan on taking your pet. I have a very friendly pup of my own that loves to play as well.
