Dog Walkers in River Forest, IL

“Julia has been a wonderful animal sitter over the years for us. We have an older dog, a cat and doves in an aviary. Julia is responsible and nurturing. My favorite part is when Julia take photos of our pets and emails them to us when we are out of town. As if our little creatures are calling us themselves! It's nice to go on vacation and know our little ones are in good hands!”

“Sergio is great and very compassionate individual to walk my dog Rosie! He listened and in detail about handling Rosie with being a large breed puppy. Highly recommend Sergio!”

“I am so happy that we met Jacqui and she agreed to walk our two year old pup for the week. Jacqui was extremely clear, communicative, professional trustworthy, flexible, consistent and kind both during the booking and the week. Our dog, Max loved his walks (she took some great photos). We can’t wait to work with Jacqui again - she’s got a lifelong friend in Max and client in us!”

“I booked Caroline for two weeks, and she was amazing. She communicated clearly every day, was incredibly kind and flexible, and handled my 70-pound, high-energy dog like a pro. He’s not easy to manage, but she never once complained. Just pure professionalism and kindness. It was such a relief knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

About: I have taken care of my dog Avery for the last six years, becoming a foster failure, which was the best thing that ever happened to me! I am willing to provide whatever care you might need for your fur baby, including going for walks, playing with toys, and giving them all the love. I am comfortable providing any medication as well, if necessary, and I am happy to work with pets of all personality types. I also have experience working with dogs who exhibit anxious behaviors. Whenever I’m around animals, they can expect nothing short of a fun time, full of pets, love, and all the attention! I am a teacher who will be off for the summer, so my availability for drop in visits or dog walking sessions is pretty wide open. Mornings, afternoons, and early evenings would work great, and I could also do late nights during the week. Having used Rover myself for my own dog, I get a great deal of peace of mind getting updates from Rover sitters, so I would want nothing more than to provide that same reassurance to other clients with their pets. I will provide regular updates whenever I have visits with your pet, as I value communication, and I will of course follow through with whatever special requests you might have for your pet.

“Marissa’s dependability is unwavering, and she’s there for our family when we need her most! With a husband who travels for work, two kids who go to two different schools, and no fenced yard, it’s imperative we have reliable dog walking b/c I just can’t do it all! Marissa helps lighten the load with a compassionate smile & love for our pup. We are SO grateful for her!”

“Pete is incredible with our dog Millie—caring, reliable, and truly attentive. She absolutely loves him and is always relaxed and happy after their time together. I trust him completely and couldn’t recommend him more highly for total peace of mind.”

“Yulissa has been walking franky for a few weeks. What we love about her is she personalizes his experience, changing routes and keeps him engaged. Before leaving, she makes sure he has plenty of water too. Thank you Yulissa!”

“Marie is a fantastic pet care giver. She has dog sit for multiple pets in our home over the last 10 years. She is extremely responsible and is also very compassionate. She is the only pet sitter we have ever used. She has come for day visits as well as stayed in our home during family vacations up to 10 days. I highly recommend Marie.”

“Natalie is amazing with dogs! She loves them, and they love her. She is also conscientious and reliable, and she shows up on time! Finally, she has excellent communication skills, and it is easy to set up appointments with her.”

“Max walks my nine-year-old lab every day for 30 minutes. Cooper had a spinal stroke in 2022 and now his back left leg is impaired, he walks very slowly. It is so important that Cooper gets his daily exercise. Max is always there, very patient and sweet with Cooper. He is kind, compassionate and reliable.”

“Very polite and professional! Matthew was on time and very careful with Marvin. Very good communication as well!”

“Zion P. has taken care of my dogs multiple times. She is trustworthy, reliable, and easy to work with. She has stayed in the house with the dogs alone for multiple nights and is easy to communicate with when away.”
