“Wonderful walker who was chill around my energetic Golden and was able to manage his excitement. Carolina took great pics of Captain and really captured who he is on his walks, happy with a stick and running joyful. That let me know he enjoyed his time with Carolina and was comfortable with her — we will be rebooking!”

“Michelle was a great dog walker and helped out when we were in a real pinch to get Maggie walked. She was professional, on time and it was so nice to know Maggie and I could count on her. And Maggie loved Michelle too! Excellent dog walker!!”
About: Animals run my world to say the least. Starting young and bringing everything home as a child. Snakes, turtles, ferrets, stay dogs. Everything became part of the family. As I got older the passion grew even further. Expanding to wolves, tigers, lions and more. Now also having a pack of 4 pups at home and a very spoiled kitty. Along with a few reptiles. Currently working part time having plenty of time to help take care of yours companions. I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work around you and your pets needs. Crating available if need for transport. Also along with chew proof leashes originally build for wolves with steal cables for even the most talented escape artist your pet is safe.
About: I have taken care of pets and been around them since I was 5. My family and friends usually rely on me to watch over their pets when they are gone. I am currently in high school and I also play sports. I am free on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I can most likely make my schedule a little more flexible if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a VERY friendly dog that will he keep your furry buddy company. I am also able to commute very easily.
About: I moved to Florida permanently a couple of months ago, but I know the area because my parents have lived here multiple years. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. In 2015, I adopted my very own black cat, Louie, from a kill shelter in Texas, which deepened my passion for animal rescue and care. During college in Chicago, I gained hands-on experience working at animal shelters, where I learned valuable skills in handling and caring for different breeds and temperaments. I’m comfortable using gentle leaders as well as standard leashes, ensuring safe and positive walking experiences for dogs. Currently, I share my home with four cats and two dogs, and I truly love working with animals—it’s something that brings me joy and purpose every single day. I’m currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of availability to drop-in, take a walk, or even hang out with furr friends. I’m available: M, Tu, Wed, Fri, Sat from 7:30am-6pm Th, Sun from 7:30am-5pm *special requests may be considered if I happen to be available When taking walk or going outside, I take the safety of any dog seriously and have experience distracting dogs or leading them away from anything that may cause a problem to arise.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

As I work towards my career, I’m seeking some extra income, and what better way than combining my passion for animals with a job I truly enjoy? In my free time, I offer reliable, loving pet care services tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I promise your pet will be in great hands.

Let me help give your pet the attention and love they deserve!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, always at least 3 at a time and all sizes and shapes. What else to say… I just love dogs. 😊 I’m working nighttime and ready to take care of your pet every day after 9 am. I can come morning and/or afternoon, once or twice a day. I will come and look around first to make sure it’s clean and I will check the water and the food. Then I will take your pet or a walk and play a bite with his own toys and I’ll have some with me.
“So thankful for Nicole! My dogs had such a great time with her! She was incredibly professional and punctual. She communicated with me very well which gave me a lot of reassurance.”
“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”
About: Hello! My name is Brooke. I work full time in health care but have also been working as a part time pet sitter for Rover for over 4 years now. Outside of Rover, I have pet sat for 10+ years and have a lot of experience with pets of all breeds/sizes and pets with specific individualized care and/or medical needs. I also have two kitty fur babies of my own, Potato and Charlotte. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away or in need of extra help! =) I pride myself on caring for your fur babies the same way that I care for my own. I always provide daily updates with multiple photos (unless you prefer not to receive them) and am quick to respond if you need anything or just want to check in. I am proficient and comfortable administering medications including insulin injections, oral medications, and breathing nebulizer/inhaler treatments for pets. Please message with any pet sitting requests or questions you may have. I am currently also accepting requests for Thanksgiving and Christmas week if you are planning on traveling for the holidays and need a petsitter while away. I am a resident physician completing my medical residency currently. My schedule varies week to week based on which service I am working. Drop in visits and dog walking requests during the week days are limited to early morning and evening times only (no midday visits available). That same availability applies to any weekend days that I am working or if I am off, then I am able to provide up to 3 visits (morning, afternoon, evening). Please reach out with any scheduling requests or questions. I care for all animals the same way that I care for my own, with lots of attention and love =). I also try to keep all animals routines as consistent as I can while you are away so I aim to do feedings, walks, bathroom breaks, etc around the same schedule that they're used to when you're with them.
About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.
“she was last-minute booking because of an illness with my other Dogwalker and she was my hero yesterday!! Responsible on time wonderful with my dog I can’t say enough great things about her. I feel like I just got so lucky. I look forward to being able to work with her again.”
About: I take the time to bond with each dog, earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved and understood. I adapt my approach to each dog’s personality, energy level and needs, whether it’s a playful pup who needs exercise or a senior dog who just wants gentle companionship. I’m currently working part-time as a realtor so I have a flexible schedule and can work around my clients schedules and needs as directed with notice. I live in a condo with two kittens so I will most likely be sitting at the client’s home. I will care for the pets as directed by the client, providing them photos and details of my time with their pets.

“Daelia was a regular walker for our lab/pit mix, while my husband and I worked as night shift nurses. Not only was Daelia extremely reliable, she maintained great communication with every visit, and went above and beyond to show our sweet pup love and attention. She frequently spent extra time playing with our pup, especially on days with bad weather when she couldn't be outside for very long. We were heartbroken when Daelia said she was moving and she is without a doubt someone we would recommend to watch your furry loved one.”

“We have been so grateful to have Gina to help with our furry family members. We have a Pug (Roxy) and a Dachshund (Barney) and she has taken wonderful care of them. They are older and have special needs. Gina is very responsible and takes an interest in them, loves them, keeps them in their routine and gives their medications meticulously. She stayed in our home while we were away for 3 weeks and bonded with them. After we returned home, they would sit by the door waiting for her to arrive. They even looked around for her. This made us very happy. It is a great feeling to be able to travel and not have any worries about the care of our sweet Roxy and Barney and now a third one, Wilbur. I highly recommend Gina to anyone who wants trustworthy responsible and loving care of their pets.”
Leslie D.
“Leslie is one of the kindest, loving humans I have ever met! She loves all animals and her care and attentiveness to needs, schedules and routine is unmatched. She has cared for my animals for many years and I would highly recommend her for your fur babies too!”
