Dog Walkers in Oakwood Hills, IL

“Brian did an outstanding job taking care of our “family member” Gage. He was able to follow all the directions (believe me they are pretty complicated) we had provided and did not miss a beat. Great communication as well. Will definitely use Brian again.”

About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.

“Chloe was very professional and scheduled a meeting prior to taking care of our senior Yorkie. She walked him several times a day for three days. She was on time for every walk and he was well taken care of. Thank you Chloe!!!”

“Simba ( American bully mix) and Kekas ( yorkie) had their first walk with Natalie a week ago and it went really good. Her experience with dogs is notable. I have a large and small breed dogs and she handled them very well. Simba is a 60 pounds puppy and I am super impressed how she handled his excitement and reinforce his training. Looking forward to many walks and drop ins. Thanks Natalie 😊💜”

About: Individual approach - I take into account the needs of each pet, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Responsible and attentive to details - I carefully monitor the diet, walks and general condition of the pet. Love and care - sincere love and care for animals makes my care heartfelt and warm. I work from home. My flexible work schedule allows me to schedule walks and feedings at a convenient time. Pets can feel safe and receive attention when they need it. Animals are not left alone for long periods of time and do not experience anxiety or stress. I have a fenced yard - this makes caring for your pets easier and more comfortable, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them to enjoy active recreation

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student taking online classes Monday through Thursday, however, I can be flexible with my schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out to take care of your pets:) I can always make time to help out <3 For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

“Christine is awesome! She is on time and is great with my dog.”

About: Here’s a warm, friendly, and professional version: I’ve spent my whole life caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and it’s something that has always brought me a lot of joy. I’ve been on Rover for a few years now and have truly loved getting to know and look after so many wonderful animals. These days, I primarily offer drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so it’s a real pleasure to spend time with yours and give them all the attention and affection they deserve. Here’s a polished, friendly paragraph you can use for your Rover profile: I’m currently enrolled in online school, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on your pets. I’m available to care for your pet in your home five days a week, as well as on weekends, and I’m happy to provide as much attention, affection, and one-on-one care as they need. Your pets will never feel overlooked—they’ll have someone present, patient, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Here’s a refined paragraph that includes everything: I take the safety, comfort, and routine of every pet in my care very seriously. I follow their daily schedule closely so that—even though they’ll miss you—their days feel familiar and uninterrupted. I also care for your home while you’re away, keeping everything neat, tidy, and just as you left it. With experience caring for senior dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, calm environment and keeping their personal spaces fresh and comfortable. You can trust that both your pet and your home will be well looked after.

“Kaitlyn F is fabulous! First time Rover users and we connected with Kaitlyn. She made us feel very comfortable leaving the dogs with her. She tolerated the negative degree weather and took excellent care of our two doodles. Thank you so much! See you next time.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. The last 5 years I’ve had more experience with all kinds of breeds and sizes! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and look after their pets! I am current a college student and my late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open to new clients for needs such as dog walking or checking ins. Based on the clients needs and rules of their household for their pet. The pet is given the upmost respectful treatment, loved on, and spoiled!

“Megan is a great dog walker! I felt so comfortable knowing she was there to walk my dogs when I had to work a long day. She took great care of them while I was away.”

“Cecilia came to our rescue since our dog needed attention while we were gone for Thanksgiving. She’s friendly, loves dogs, and treats them very well! Hope to have her back again!”

About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.

About: Thank you to all of our past Friends, we have since moved to a larger home in Cary, Illinois. I have had dogs my whole life. My current Lab caught news nationwide when I refused to give him up in a custody battle. I won. He currently is behind a first one of a kind law being presented in Illinois that will view pets as living breathing beings during divorce. Currently our pets have no voice in such matters. I am opposed to Yulin festival, and a strong animal advocate that actually offers speaking engagements based on my experience and published work regarding animal welfare issues. I own my own business and work from home much of the time. The dog will always be attended to while we keep a clean house. We have a Fenced yard and now only own one dog since Pepper has passed away recently. We live roomy house with extra space to stretch out.

“Merry Christmas to you, Kathleen and John! Thank you for taking care of Pixie for Amanda! We appreciate your help! Many Blessings to you and yours in the New Year!!”
