“Michelle does a magnificent job caring for Travis as he’s still a young pup getting used to the big new world. Travis and I are very thankful our paths crossed with Michelle.”
“Maia really helped me out when I needed a walker for Caesar on such short notice. She was very thorough with her questions to make sure Caesar’s care was tailored to Caesar, and she took some great photos of him as well. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, but English Bulldogs hold a special place in my heart. I trained and raised my own English Bulldog for 9 years, who grew into a special needs senior: blind in his later years and on multiple daily medications. Loving him through every stage taught me what bulldog parents already know: these dogs are one of a kind, and they need a sitter who understands them. Bulldogs aren't just low-maintenance couch potatoes, and I know the details that make the difference. I understand their stubbornness, heat sensitivities, and breathing issues. I stay on top of daily wrinkle cleaning and regular ear checks to prevent irritation and infections, and I'm happy to apply nose butter and follow your dog's grooming routine if needed. I also have the patience to work with a stubborn bulldog mood. Managing multiple daily medications and caring for a blind senior dog taught me to be organized, gentle, and attentive to any changes in routine, appetite, or behavior. My experience goes well beyond loving animals. I've worked at both a pet store and a local animal hospital, where I cared for a variety of animals, cleaned enclosures and kennels, maintained a sanitary environment, tracked food intake and behavior, and administered medications. Working alongside veterinary teams taught me to notice small changes and flag concerns early, so every animal in my care is safe, comfortable, and closely monitored. Don't have a bulldog? Don't worry! I've had years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds, plus cats, small animals, aquatic pets, and more, and I've provided trusted in-home pet care for neighbors and family members. Whether your pup is a personable bulldog like mine, or any other beloved companion, under my care they won't just be looked after. They'll be understood, loved, and treated like family. A recent Elmhurst University graduate, I currently have a flexible, full-time availability to dedicate to pet care, meaning your pets get my full attention and availability any day of the week. When I visit your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible in their own environment. I know that unfamiliar faces can be an adjustment for some animals, so I always take a calm, patient approach and let your pet set the pace when it comes to warming up. During drop-ins, I'll follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, medications, behavioral notes, and any specific preferences you've set for your pet. I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want shown in my own. Everything will be left exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I keep a close eye on body language and surroundings at all times, keeping walks safe and enjoyable. I'm experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, and I'll always make sure your pup is secure before heading out. I'm also happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, because peace of mind for you is just as important as good care for them!

With clients, I’m happy to take their pets for walks, or to dog parks if they’re familiar and owners are comfortable with it.

About: Ive been around animals of all sorts my entire life. I actually grew up on a farm and participated in 4-H until I aged out. I also used to work at an Animal Hospital. My job there included taking care of strays that came in, socializing them so that they could be adopted, cleaning up after the cats and dogs (both the strays and those who were there for appointments and procedures) cleaning around the office, walking the dogs, administering basic medical needs, etc Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine even while working part time. I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. Even with a busy schedule, caring for both my pets and someone else’s is something I prioritize because having a consistent routine helps keep pets happy, active, and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and feel safe in their environment. Since I work part time, I have flexibility in my schedule and can give pets the time and care they need while their owners are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakbrook Terrace
Annie is phenomenal with Aggie! She’s patient with my dogs stubbornness and goes with the flow. I trust her to drive Aggie to the parks around the area so she can get a change of scenery and sniffs. Great communication, accommodating to my schedule/last minute changes I sometimes have, and nothing but kind to my dog. She sometimes has her parents bring her dog over to my backyard for a little play date and walk! Aggie loves her and she loves Aggie back. It truly a wonderful relationship that makes me feel safe that my dog is being taken care of so well.
Macey has done such an outstanding job walking our Sophie this summer. From the first meet & greet, she read Sophie like a book: anticipating when she might bark at another dog, chase a squirrel, or simply watch a rabbit eating grass. And Sophie is a Great Dane mix so she weighs 90 pounds! Macey communicates fully and regularly and has almost always been able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I will simply say that Macey is simply the best and we've already arranged future times we'll need her help. We cannot thank her enough!
Elizabeth continues to be a very reliable and loving dog sitter, whom our dog adores! She not only walks Lily, but she plays with her on days that aren’t nice (their favorite game is soccer!) and takes the time to make sure she’s happy and cared for during each visit. Elizabeth watches our dog weekly, and we couldn’t be happier with her communication and the extra care she consistently puts in.
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Elizabeth is truly exceptional. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves what she does—her connection with the dogs is natural and comforting. Elizabeth goes above and beyond on every walk. Whether it’s making sure routines are followed, giving extra attention when needed, or keeping you updated with thoughtful messages and photos, she brings a level of care that’s hard to find. It gives total peace of mind knowing your dog is not just being walked, but truly cared for. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and consistently exceeds expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—any dog would be lucky to have Elizabeth in their life!
Sara was absolutely fantastic from meet & greet to walking our two Dobermans while we were on a day trip. Our older Doberman is a rescue and does not always warm up to new people. He loved Sara immediately! Sara also handled our jump-y Goose, who is technically an adult but all puppy energy. Would highly recommend Sara!
Ana has always done an amazing job caring for my fur baby, Dakota. I’ve worked with her locally many times and was so excited to see her join Rover to continue growing her dog‑sitting career. Ana truly cares about the animals she works with and always takes the time to listen and understand what each pet needs. Dakota is not an easy dog to care for, between her cancer‑related medical needs and her reactive fear of other dogs and children, she can be complicated to leave in someone else’s care. Ana has always risen to these challenges and made us feel completely at ease trusting Dakota with her. This year, we went on a two‑week vacation to Italy, and Ana stayed in our home to care for Dakota the entire time. Not a single walk or medication was missed, and Dakota was loved and cared for as if she were Ana's own pet. I will always trust Ana with Dakota’s care and would confidently trust her with any pets we have in the future. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
