“Jennifer was a lifesaver for us in walking our pup while we were out of town. She was very flexible and accommodating and did a great job communicating updates throughout walks. Definitely recommend and will book again!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing safe and loving care. I’ll treat your pets like family and follow their routine closely. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your needs. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their safety, behavior, and comfort, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I specialize in anxious dogs as well.
“Bob has done an amazing job with partnering with Hershey. Not only is Bob comfortable with a large dog, his effort with maintaining communication regarding scheduling has been great! Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful for the extra special care she gave our little pup! He had an accident in his crate, and she went above and beyond to not only clean up his crate, but also make sure Milo was cleaned up and comfortable. Despite the unexpected mess, she still took the time to take him outside, give him attention, and make sure he had a happy and cared-for day. It was clear that Milo was in such good hands. We couldn’t be more thankful for her kindness, patience, and genuine care for our pup. Highly recommend!”
“Ethel was great! She followed all of kash’s care instructions. I trusted her in my home and Kash seemed very happy once I returned. I will be reaching out again.”
About: What sets me apart for other sitters is that I have them enjoy their walks at their own pace. In my years of experience, I have not only taken care of dogs but also cats just to name a few. Every animal is unique in their own way so being kind goes a long way. I like to have the owners as well as the dogs comfortable with me so I obtain as much information from the owners regarding their furry friends as I can. I am currently free to play, drop-in or bring your furry baby home with me. Whatever your pets needs are, I am here to help. I have a big backyard where I normally allow the dogs to run and play. But it does not have a fence in one area where the driveway begins. My home has two floors which the downstairs I use for the dogs to lay down, play or sleep. I do own a dog myself but she isn't allowed to interact with guests dogs unless previously approved by the guests parents first. I also have cameras, where I can capture video and photos to send to the pet parents.
About: Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and the patience required to make them feel safe and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a senior at Dominican University so my flexible schedule allows me to adapt to different routines, ensuring that pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away :) With years of experience of caring for my own pets I understand the importance of following routines and recognizing pet behaviors. I like to talk to my clients about routines and dietary instructions before I take care of their furry friend to really get a feel for what is best for them. I have a pretty strict diet with my own dogs so I like to make sure I can trust someone to do the same as I would as well :) Pet owners can rely on me to be punctual, responsible, and communicative, giving them peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in trustworthy hands.
“Suzanne is a great help walking Shiloh twice a week, she follows instructions and is very communicative. She also sends plenty of photos on their walks, and leaves Shiloh tired. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.
“Gionna was great! From the first message I sent to inquire through the last message after her last walk with Roxy! Her communication was spot on and her care for Roxy was very assuring. She came for a meet and greet since she was Roxy’s first walker. They hit it off and had great walks while I was gone making me more relaxed and less worried to enjoy my weekend away. Thank you Gionna, we can’t wait to work with you again!”
“I’ve been using Katie as our dog walker for the past few days, and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. She takes great care of both of my dogs, Cubby and Audrey, and always ensures they get a good walk and plenty of attention. Katie is reliable, punctual, and very personable. I love getting updates after each walk, complete with photos of my pups looking happy and well-exercised. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I trust her completely with my two fur babies. Highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Jennifer is great! She is extremely reliable and genuinely loves dogs. Jennifer treats my dog as if she were her own, which gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Jennifer - you won’t regret hiring her!”
About: I have experience grooming and administrating medicine to furry friends that don't enjoy the process. Big or small, quiet or loud, friendly or shy I accept all pets and treat them as if they were my own. I have open availability to take last minute bookings and have the luxury to do this full time.This helps with my ability to work with people’s schedules. Drop in visits and walks are catered to each client. I am flexible with what is provided and have a willingness to adapt. Visits typically include feeding, enrichment activities, and walks.
About: I am currently a stay at home mom to a 3 year old toddler. I also have a 6 year old Boston Terrier. Ive been around dogs since I was 8 years old and love how each one has their own personalities. Over the past 5 years I have dog sat and cared for family and friend's dogs while they were on vacation or unable to care for them. I am currently unemployed so my availability is open. I live in Evergreen Park and I'm familiar with city and surrounding suburbs. Let me know how I can help whether it be a check in, walk or boarding. I am currently a stay home mom so my availability is currently open. My son is in preschool and I have a reliable babysitter. Let's chat about how I can fit into your schedule. I live in Evergreen Park, in a very walkable and dog friendly neighborhood. I have a large fenced in yard with dogs living in both next door neighbors houses. I also have a friendly and energetic 6 year old Boston Terrier. He could be seperate, if needed. I am also willing to travel to your home and care for your pet there. Let me know what works best for you.
About: I have a special way of connecting with every dog I meet. I've rescued stray dogs from the streets in California since I was a young adult, and I’ve had dogs of my own since I was a little girl. I volunteered with Bully Rescue Fresno in California during college and worked there for a year. My love for dogs has always been part of who I am. A close friend and former Rover sitter encouraged me to sign up as a sitter on Rover. She believes I am good at caring for dogs, show them as much love as I did my own, and that I'm a fun person any dog could ask for. So here I am, and I want to gain experience caring for dogs. I'm a deaf mom of three girls and two dogs. I’ve been staying home since my third baby was born in August and working remotely. My work hours are very flexible, so I can take care of the dogs as much as I can while I’m home. I have fence yard, two adorable dogs, and three young children. We all love dogs and are friendly here. I can take care of dogs while doing errand at home since im staying home.
About: I’ve have experience taking care of my own four dogs at home, as well as my family/friends’. Additionally, I have volunteered at multiple dog shelters. I am currently working part-time at Spirit Halloween while I wait to be shipped off to the Air Force national guard. My schedule is flexible! I make sure to take them for frequent walks, groom them often, and ensure they are not in the cage for hours at a time.
“Iman was wonderful! I have never left my dogs before but had to in order to move. She was patient, truthful, transparent about her services, and most importantly KIND. I was a mess and she talked me through all the changes and what she thought was best for my animals. She was very professional when she met them and when we walked them. She came at all of her scheduled visits and spent time with them even sending me photos to keep me calm. Most importantly, the last photo she sent me of my little, old lady, I could tell that Leela was sad to see her new friend go. She really did a great job caring for my babies and even left me samples of her dog food. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets all my life, being there for them is all I know now. I made it my passion to be caring of them. I recently left a dog daycare looking for a better way to make dogs comfortable while knowing they aren’t under any other rules than the ones in their very own home. I also am loving the idea of them all getting their own special treatment. I am willing to do early mornings or late nights I’m free all around. I just want every dog or cat to be satisfied. I usually wake up and walk outside to make sure I’m getting proper sunlight and one thing about a pet is they are always down for outside time. I’ll make sure your dog eats and gets hydration in the morning and take them outside to use the bathroom relax or play in the next 30 to 45 minutes for about a hour or two, if it is too hot outside I won’t have them out too long and I will make sure they cool off before giving them water. Your dog will always be safe and okay in my hands I’m very attentive

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
