Dog Walkers in Rockdale, IL

About: Hi there! I'm a proud cat parent of 3+ years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From feeding and litter cleaning to playtime and snuggles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. While I don’t have a dog of my own (yet!), I’m confident in my ability to give your pup the same level of care and attention. Every visit is filled with love, patience, and thoughtful updates to give you peace of mind. Your fur babies are in kind, capable hands 🐾💛 I’m a full-time college student and also work part-time, but I always make time for pet care! I’m available Monday through Thursday after 4 PM and can occasionally accommodate weekend bookings with some notice. I own two sweet cats—Luna, who’s calm and quiet, and Star, who’s playful and full of energy! I have tons of cat toys and love keeping them happy and loved. My whole family are cat lovers, and we treat our pets like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: I have many years of experience with pet sitting. This includes feeding, overnight care, taking them for walks, cleaning up after them, etc. I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am an elementary school music teacher. I love being outdoors and currently walk at least 3 miles myself each day. Having dogs to walk would work with what I already do on my own time, plus bring me so much enjoyment. I am reliable and can provide references. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! -Ciara Smith I work as an elementary school music teacher. I have summers off so I have a lot of flexibility in my availability. Otherwise during the schoolyear, I work until 3pm and then I am free all night. I do not care for pets in my own home. In youe home, I will carefully follow all instructions given. If not written down, I will write them down myself. I will ensure all safety measures with the owner before the visit and have a list of all the things I need to know before being put in charge of their pets care to ensure the besy safety of them.

About: I have experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I know great helpful training techniques. Also, I grew up living with dogs up until now. I have a full time Hybrid job. I work from home 3 days a week and the workload has been fairly light. I currently live with no furry friends and am missing the connection with them. I want to hold off on adopting right now so I thought the best way to fulfill my wants of having a dog will be through this app. I have no fenced in yard or much of a yard at all. My home is spacious though, so there is enough room for your pet to be comfortable and play indoors. I have 3 reptiles that will stay in their tanks and do not cause disruptions. They also love watching other animals from afar.

“Katherine is always understanding and keeps me informed about my nervous, anxious puppy.she goes above and beyond to make sure she is comfortable and I greatly appreciate this”

“Lexi watched our dog for a week and took great care of him, he was one happy boy! She took him to the beach, park and for lots of walks. Our dog can occasionally have anxiety when we aren’t around but her and her pets company kept him at ease while we were gone. She is so flexible with times/pickups and quick to respond!”

About: Please read all the way through before booking! And note that I do give discounts for overnight stays /House sitting if you live in my neighborhood (Reedwood) as it makes things easier for me! Most weekdays are currently unavailable for more bookings due to the nature of my work schedule. I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I have another dog I walk regularly outside of rover between 12-1 on weekdays. My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages for more than 9 years, pets of my neighbors, friends and my own pets, I consider that they need the best care in the world as they give everything for us being our companions on this journey that is life, talking a little about my experience, I have taken care of small and large pets to bathe and feed them and walk them, I have training in the face of any altercation on the street. Being something that I like to do since before coming to this country is something that I want to dedicate myself to for an indeterminate time. I have a fenced yard and at the moment I don't have small children, so all the attention will be focused on pets for as long as they need it.

“Art is very quick to respond to my requests and my puppy loves spending his time with him whenever he comes to take him for his walks. Very professional and courteous, I will continue to use him.”

About: I grew up with a Great Pyrenees, a Bichon Frise and 2 cats. Since then I have had many beloved pets of my own. I have cared for them through all stages of life, in sickness and in health. I feel completely comfortable with any medications or extra care your fur baby may require. Over the years I have cared for many of my friend's and neighbor's pets when they have been out of town. I have also groomed friend's and neighbor's animals, including nail trimming, toothbrushing and ear cleaning. I love to walk, and be outside, a game of fetch, yes please! I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I have recently moved back from Florida to Chicago. Shortly after my beloved dog Arby lost her battle to lymphoma. I miss our 2 hour morning and afternoon game of catch. I have open availability, and can care for your pets whenever the need be. I have 2 cats that have grown up around dogs and kids, they are both up in age, but are super friendly and very chill. I have a fenced in yard. I love to walk and play catch. I don't mind having to clean up an accident, and feel comfortable caring for animals that require some extra TLC.

“My son who typically walks our dog broke his foot leaving me the sole dog walker of our 80lb puppy. That is until one morning I woke up with the flu! Within an hour Bradlei was at our door ready to tackle the cold elements and a brand new dog. Without much direction she took control and walked our beloved ‘Pancake’. Bradlei saved the day and came back twice that day. She is professional ,communicative, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her and her dog walking services!”

Although I am unable to care for pets in my home, I treat your home with the up most respect and take care of your pet as if they were my own.

“So glad we found a reliable dog walker on such short notice. We booked Priscilla for 5 days while we went on a Trip. We were hesitant about booking someone from Rover but ended up being very satisfied with both Pricscilla and her service and the ease of using the Rober app to book her though. She sent us pictures of our dog daily to ensure that he was indeed comfortable and happy. I would recommend Priscilla for being able to handle large dog breeds (mine was 65lbs) and will use her again for any other upcoming walks we need. Thanks Priscilla!!”
