“Bob works great with our boy Monty; he helps him get all his energy out playing his favorite game of fetch. Bob is very flexible and quick to respond. We definitely recommend!”
“Adrienne has walked my dog Casper a few times now and she has been great! Casper can be a challenge at times and takes a while to warm up to new people. She has had patience with him which I really appreciate, and I trust that he is safe in her care. I will continue to use her as our dog walker and our house sitter in the future when we travel. Thanks again Adrienne!”
“Emily did an amazing job of taking care of my dog Thor on his mid-day walks. Even in the bitter cold, she took him to do his business and played with him back at the apartment since he hated the cold. She followed my instructions perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely rebook!”
“Very attentive. Our son wanted his dog back and rented a pet friendly house However he works very long hours. Michelle and her husband Paul were the perfect solution”

From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I treat every animal like my own, with love and attention. I offer dog sitting, walking, and drop-in visits at your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I carry my own trash bags for walks and provide plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. I also take pride in keeping your home clean and tidy during my stay. Before starting, I always do a meet-and-greet to ensure we’re a good fit and to discuss your pet’s needs. Let’s chat about how I can make your pet feel at ease while you're away!

I have loads of energy and can give your pet constant attention
About: I have lived with and taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. Family and friends have relied on me for years to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their pets. I also have personal experience taking care of and training a puppy. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of availability on weekday afternoons, Fridays, and weekends to take care of your pets! I can walk your dog daily in the late afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and at anytime on Fridays, Saturday’s, and Sundays. I can also pet-sit at your home while you are away.
“Katie was so easy to communicate with from the moment we sent the dog walk request - even finding a time to do a video call beforehand :) We are so thankful that we found Katie to take care of Parker. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.

I love and have a deep respect for all animals and treat them with as much care I would a child. I am available to work on Mondays to Fridays and the weekends are negotiatiable I just need prep time. Looking for part time work as a vets assistant.(would be working weekends) As of right now im not living by myself so I would be strictly be doing house sitting and nearby walks or drop ins. That may change in the future. Also I have a very nice dog that will get along with anyone if a client may want his/her dog to have company while im over.
About: I currently have a 8 year old Golden Retriever named Nala. I don’t have a fenced in yard so we spend a lot of time going for long walks. I have had dogs my whole life and love to spend time with them. I'm a very nurturing person and I would make sure that your dog feels at home while they enjoy their visit with us. My dog gets along very well with other dogs so having an extra companion around for Nala would be great. I will make sure that your dog gets the attention and care that he/she needs ! I am a high school teacher, so right now I am gone from about 7-330 each day - but we take a nice walk in the morning before I leave & then go for several walks throughout the remainder of the day. Dogs at my house are allowed on all furniture and free range of the house for their convenience! If your dog is not potty trained, I will request a crate to be brought over while I am out of the house.
About: Hi! Please call me Em! My first dog was a german shepherd at 10 years old. Since then, I've also lived with a black lab. I currently have a 2 year old weimaraner. I have the most experience working with older/senior dogs and administering oral medicine. I'll ensure your pet is comfortable and has its needs met! I'm currently a college student looking for work over the summer. I have plenty of free time to check in on your pets, play with them, and hang out! As long as I get specific instructions and information about your pets, habits, and behavior, they will be taken care of! I'd love to know as much as I can so I can provide the best care for your pets.
About: As an owner of a senior puppy-mill-rescued beagle, I'm familiar with some of the difficulties some pets may face in their day to day lives. Pet solutions aren't just one size fits all- and adapting my care style to fit your pet's goals and personality is my specialty. From high energy play sessions to long naps in the yard, I look to give your pet the best experience I can. I'm currently working part time, but my hours are fairly flexible. I have open availabilities on weekdays, specifically mornings, but if your pet needs a little extra attention, I'm more than happy to make more room! I'm available for dog walking, daily visits, and overnight stays for any pet that may need a friend while their main person is away. With over 3 years of professional pet experience (and many more years of being a dog owner) I believe your furry friends deserve the highest care and attention when their people are away. I have experience in dog walking, medicine distribution, behavior analysis, and animal enrichment and engagement. My experience working in an animal shelter gives me a wide view of the different perspectives and angles that care can show up in.
About: I take pride in the care I give for the animals I have cared for. I will give them the walks they need, the playtime necessary, and make sure they are cared for. I have cared for my own dear pet for 10 years with 2 walks a day at least and for the last two years of his life, I was his caretaker. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I was required to inject insulin into him twice a day; that was done everyday for two years. He was blind for the last year of his life so I do have experience with older dogs with health issues. Family and friends trust me with their pets and I hope you can too. To the forest we go! Update: In the past year, I have adopted A German Shepherd/ Husky mix. He keeps me very active as he is an intelligent, energetic and sweet dog. We go to the forest daily for hikes and would be happy to have your dog join us, as well as hangout in the home with us. I am currently at home full-time on the days listed. Therefore, I will be attentive and providing lots of care for your pup while they stay with me and Bishnu! I have a yard but it is not fenced, however there is a leash for your dog to be tied up to and relax in the backyard if they would like that. We have great forest preserves in the area, and I am very confident in the hiking trails where I would be glad to hike with your pup. Also, I can crate your dog if necessary, as well as provide separate feeding arrangements too!
About: Hello! My name is Nina Dixon and I am currently studying at Saint Xavier University. I have been surrounded by all types of animals my entire life! In my home I have 4 lovely lizards. I go on walks everyday and would love to have a furry friend tag along with me! I am happy to be as flexible as possible to give your little family member the best care to my ability! My schedule varies in time and availability due to me still being in school, but I will always do my best to find a sweet spot schedule that works for both me and my clients! I will always leave a detailed summary of each interaction with pictures so each client is happy and comfortable! Send me a message so we can be furry friends!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and taking care of them is second nature. I see Rover as a way to interact & keep them in my life while not having one of my own at home. I already routinely take 1 to 2 walks during my day, so the addition dog walking or sitting fits rights into my daily schedule now. In your home, I am clean, orderly, and can clearly follow all instructions given. You will find your fur baby and your home better off than you left them before

Megan N.
“Megan has watched my (very hyper and silly) two-year-old Golden Retriever, Haley, on multiple occasions. Megan is a dog-lover herself, so when I left Haley with her, I knew Haley was in great hands. Megan walks dogs, plays with them, and tires them out. Every time Haley came home after Megan watched her, she slept for hours!! Not to mention, Haley can't resist Megan when she sees her! I highly recommend Megan - she's personable, trustworthy, and will truly treat your pet like one of her own! ”
Janumpha S.
“Janumpha is a kind and responsible caretaker that has always done thorough and detailed work. They are able to accommodate to all of our needs and expectations and has been a friend to us and our pets.

Katherine G.
“Katherine (Finn) G takes incredible care of animals. They have watched my cats several times, and always do a stellar ob of caring for them, making sure they are fed, watered, cuddled, and of course, spoiled with treats. Finn not only loves on the animals in their care, they also pay incredibly close attention to the health of the pets and monitor for any changes or problems, which makes me feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies in Finn's capable hands”
Natalie S.
“Natalie is Great!”
Anna P.
“Anna cares for all animals deeply, but for as long as I’ve known her she has always had a special place in her heart for dogs. She’s very responsible and knowledgeable, and will put any dog’s needs before her own. Several of Anna’s friends and family have left their pups in her care for weeks at a time, and they feel comfortable doing so because she commits to providing the very best care for them. She will give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! Anna is an extremely trustworthy and reliable person, and I would feel 100% confident letting her take care of my pets!”
Nina D.
“Animal whisperer, responsible and caring soft touch with all animals.. Has cared for many different species. Wants to become a vet later in life. Has cared for many of my pets and remains active in their lives”
Jennifer M.
“One thing about Jennifer is she knows that when she's taking care of a dog, not only is she caring for the animal at hand but also for the owner who isn't present. She's super good at sending the owners updates/pictures of their pups. I know this because I have allowed Jennifer to care for my dog. Never once did I feel like she was leaving me in the dark about my dog and was more than willing to send me pictures without even asking. I feel as though Jennifer tends to each dog in the ways that they need since she realizes that every dog has their love language just like a human would. To have her care for your dog would be like sending your dog to day camp. They will receive lots of attention along with lots of mental stimulation so your dog comes home tired and ready for a nap!”
Orland Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katelyn was amazing with Pippi. She stayed over the 4th weekend and being that Pippi is incredibly high anxiety her ability to keep her calm and entertained was second to none. She kept me up to date on what was happening and was able to lovingly care for her just like I would. I am not going to hesitate to use Katelyn in the future and would suggest anyone, especially those with high anxiety dogs or dogs with separation anxiety, to reach out to Katelyn for her services. 10 outta 10.
Casey is fantastic! She is punctual. She is thorough (takes lot of pics and always writes a few sentences in the "report card"). She is also friendly, enjoys hanging with our boy (German Shepherd/Husky mix), and has the knowledge and skills to handle his high energy! We certainly look forward to leaning on Casey for our future Rover needs! Highly recommend!
