“Addison is the best! So sweet and caring for my dog. Shes attentive, prompt, on time, and communicative. Would highly recommend Addison for your pet care needs :)”

“Shelby is fantastic! He walked my dog, and my son's dog, and he handled it perfectly. I really appreciate that he accommodated a booking with only about 24 hours' notice. He always does a great job, and I feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands. I definitely highly recommend Shelby for anyone looking for reliable, positive, and professional dog walking services! 🐾”


About: Coming from a family that loves animals, I’ve always been around and taken care of pets. My experience has been walking/petsitting for family and friends, mostly dogs but occasionally cats. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have a very flexible work schedule. I am currently a student in flight school, which only requires short daily in-person commitment, so I am very flexible with timing. Most of my studying is done online so I am able to care for your pet at any time it is convenient for you. I am unable to provide care in my own apartment due to its size, but I am very clean and respectful of clients homes when visiting for care. I am a great communicator and will respond quickly as well as follow any requests or instructions you make.
“Emma and her husband were great! Our dog is elderly and has had some health complications and they were so kind and patient with him. We will definitely be working with them in the future!”


“Celine has walked our golden doodle a few times now and she has been extremely kind and accommodating. She is always flexible if plans have changed and our doodle loves her! Will continue to use her for walks ☺️”

“Johnny is by far the best Rover I have ever had take care of my girl, Lucy. He truly just loves dogs and I am so grateful to him for giving me peace of mind while I have to leave my pup on long work days. Truly 10/10”

“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs for the past few years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable.

About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Started dog-walking/-sitting in my pre-teens. Owned 3 dogs during this time (two part-Lab and one Great Dane. All rescues). Kept a small, growing business which consisted of walking or being paid to stay a week with a dog. This continued until early 20s. Have since continued to sit family's, friends', and family friends' dogs over the years. No matter the size or breed I always manage to find a friend in new dogs. Epileptic, old, and those requiring medicine are not a problem. Whether or not they adhere to commands isn't a problem. I've had very obedient dogs and known many that ran the house. Either way, we'll get along fine. I'm only out of the house for 6 hours at most. My old lady used to need a lot of attention, so I'm used to life revolving around a dog upon entry, before leaving, and taking a break every 30 minutes to give some love. Private back lawn. I have a designated spot in a public walkway for food and water but can move as needs depict. Doors to back rooms are shut when not being used. Nothing heavy or sharp that can fall or come in contact with your pet. I had a 17.5 year old so the house was made as safe as possible for her.

About: Hi! I’m Samantha, and I’d love to be your pet’s new favorite sitter! 🐾 I’m an active, responsible, and caring pet lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a 5-year-old pit mix of my own, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also have experience caring for cats through family members and absolutely love their different personalities and quirks! I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn off some energy, some company and attention during the day, or you need someone trustworthy to stay with them while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated and make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I have a schedule that allows me to be very flexible! As a student at UT, I have the ability to only be away for 2 hrs at a time. I have experience using collars/harnesses of all kinds. I have also walked dogs of all sizes, so I am prepared for any breed/strength! In addition, I know how to make the crating process easy and quick.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Serena Is Wonderful! Serena has been amazing with our Lab, Rebel, and we couldn’t be happier with her! She’s incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and Rebel absolutely loves his time with her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and brings such a calm, positive energy. One thing we appreciate most is how dependable she is — Serena is always willing to step in and help whenever we need extra support, which has been such a lifesaver for us. Her communication and reliability are top-notch, and we always feel confident knowing Rebel is in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Serena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker — we’ll definitely keep using her!”

About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
About: Growing up there was always at least one furry friend running about my household. I also tended to my neighbors two puppies whenever she was out of town or while I babysat her children. I have now been doing Rover for over a year which granted me experience with dogs of all sizes. I am a server who works about 4/5 hour shifts. When I am not working I am usually at home or nearby. My days off vary but please do message for inquiries! My apartment is clean and safe, I take pride in making sure I live in a safe and healthy home which I can share with your pets.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Riverside Heights is $20

Stephanie was amazing with our dog who required a little extra care and attention in his old age. She was able to easily accommodate his health issues and was always extremely reliable and willing to go the extra mile to ensure our pet was taken care of and loved! We used her regularly for walks and dog sitting and were always happy with her reliable service and swift communication.

Elizabeth helped me out sooo much!! I did not think I could get help so last minute, but Elizabeth stepped in and helped us beyond our expectations. She made sure our puppies Scooby and Goose got their energy out with long walks around the neighborhood. She went the extra step and made sure our dogs were comfortable before she left by making sure they had enough water and many pets! She sent many updates and pictures of our dogs enjoying their walks. I definitely recommend her and i will be without a doubt leaving my pups in her care when we are out of town again.

Jolie was FABULOUS! I was super nervous leaving my sweet Daisy when going on a week trip, but Jolie made the trip stress free and easy for this anxious dog mama. She sent lots of pictures and took Daisy on plenty of fun walks while I was away and treated her like her very own. Daisy and I will definitely be using her services again and we would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you so much 🩷

Ahmad was a true savior to step in with minimal notice and do a 23 day booking when Nena's primary caretaker had a medical emergency. Completely professional, great communication and every picture I received of Nena...she was smiling ear to ear! Nena was in great spirits when I finally got home after a long and difficult trip, I knew she was in good hands!
