Dog Walkers in Riverwoods, IL

“Maria was absolutely amazing! It was my first time using Rover for a walker and I wasn’t quite sure what the expectations would be. I have to first mentioned that she responded quickly to my inquire and was ready to set up a meet and greet with Journey right away. I was blown away with how she went above and beyond walking and even jogging with Journey over the 30min time walk marker (She needed because Journey has a ton of energy lol) and she sent many pictures which I was grateful for because it instantly put my mind at ease. She really have a nurturing, and caring spirit with a real love for animals. Journey and myself were really thankful for her and will definitely be using Maria for other walks and stays! 5 star!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of different types of dogs since I was 14. People have relied on me and I have a pet of my own. I have plenty of time to be with your animals. I am usually free in the afternoon/ evenings every day of the week and weekends. I am from Riverwoods and it is soon to be my senior year at Denison University but I am taking a gap year right now. I am flexible with start and end times. I also love being active and outside. I can easily crate your dog if needed. We have a zip cord to connect to your dog that prevents them from going past a certain point in the backyard.

“Austin is super reliable and has taken care of my two cats and my parents retriever on several occasions. He always make sure to spend plenty of time engaging with and (thankfully!) tiring out my cats-I’m pretty boring comparatively I’d imagine! Would totally recommend him to really any pet owner!”

“Lauren is a great pet caregiver! She shows kindness and patience with all dogs; her experience in a vet facility last year is also nice to have and made us very comfortable with her.”

“Lisa is very nice, and took Stormy for two 30 minute walks around the neighborhood.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Denis was amazing!! He was so professional and immediately put me at ease when we met. It was so fun to get pics of our dog while we were out of town & I knew he was being taken care of. I highly recommend Denis & Nikki!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for a good majority of my life through family friends and acquaintances. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to help others check in with their pet needs. I'm currently on a gap year studying for medical board exams. I have the flexibility to board during weekends and weekdays. Preferably after 10 in the morning. I can easily follow directions, let me know how your dog is most comfortable and i'll be on it to give them the freedom or the space they need while still giving them attention.
