Dog Walkers in Rockdale, IL

“Absolutely amazing! Katherine not only booked on short notice (I was freaking out because our normal walker had to cancel last minute!) She was personable, went above and beyond and most importantly to me, Cookie loved her! It’s always scary leaving our pets home for trips etc. Katherine will put you at ease. Thanks again!!!”

“Jessica is reliable and friendly! Our pup, Hank, is very excited for his walk days with her. We did a meet and greet and could tell Hank and Jessica would become fast friends. Jessica is a good communicator, sending walk updates and confirming weekly schedules. We highly recommend Jessica and appreciate the positive experience we’ve had with her!”

About: I'm available Friday-Sunday and would be able to give your dog all the attention, I've done dog sitting and walking since I was 12 for my neighbors but would love to expand now. I can provide food and any specific requests and go out for walks. I am able to travel so we can go for long walks or to dog parks and I’m also available to just check up anytime! I especially love going on long walks so your little guy or girl will definitely have a great time! Depending on the days and times I can also watch dog sit from my house as long as time permits. Regardless I am always happy to take care of your pets whenever it’s needed! I currently work full-time but miss do sitting every day as it is my favorite type of work because it doesn’t even feel like it! 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 sweet and amazing!!! I love her and so do the dogs!!! Cant wait to have her over again and again!”

“Nancy is our first Rover pet care specialist and she did not disappoint. Outstanding communication, well organized, very personable. We are in the area for a few days as part of an Airstream caravan and had a long bus day into the city, leaving our Shiba alone for nearly 11 hours. Nancy proposed a meet and greet on short notice and also handled a reschedule (we decided to have her come by and walk Chewie twice versus once). Nancy understood the quirkiness of actually getting into our trailer as well as some of our hints to get Chewie to be interested in walking with her. Chewie, a guarded nine year old Shiba Inu who is basically our fourth child, took to Nancy like she was part of the family. We very much enjoyed the reports today of her interactions with Chewie as well the plethora of photos that captured Chewie better than we’ve been able to. I cannot say enough good things about Nancy. I wish her the best and anyone who is looking for someone through Rover to walk or check up on their pet can rest assured their pet or pets will be in the best of hands with Nancy.”

“Erin would be an excellent care taker for your dogs. You can tell after just meeting her how much she loves animals. She would do anything for them. She found a dog on the side of the road, brought it in, and took it to the vet for treatment while waiting for to find their family. Your pets would be in great hands!”

“Its great to always rely on Lauren to let our dog while we were out of town for a quick walk. She is super quick to respond and our pup loves when she visits!”

“Jen is awesome! She loves my fur babies as much as I do. And she’s flexible at the last moment when I forget to balance the calendar of schedules! 10/10 would always recommend.”

“Great dog walker”

About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

“Evelyn is good looking young lady. Very warm, responsible person. Perfect company for dogs. My fur kids like her a lot. Highly recommended.”

“Vanessa takes my 1 year old puppy to her yard to exercise and play everyday! I work and don’t have a fenced in yard so I can’t explain how much of a help it is to me and my household. Very kind, generous, responsible and knows a lot about training/caring for dogs. Would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone.”

“Ashley has completely outdone herself. Considering her amazing communication and care. Having someone who is obsessed with caring for cats and loving them so much. It makes sense why she would choose to take care of other cats as well! Her ability to understand what her cats wants and needs straight away is something we all need from a loving caregiver.”

About: I've always loved taking care of dogs. Since I was 10 years old, I've been walking, feeding, bathing, and watching over dogs of all sizes. My neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to take care of their furry friends, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I know how to teach dogs basic manners and make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me while their owners are away. It brings me so much joy to spend time with these amazing animals and help them stay happy and healthy. I'm currently working in a clinic as a phlebotomist as I study for my sports medicine board certification exam. It's definitely a lot to juggle, but thankfully I have more free time than I know what to do with. My work schedule is pretty consistent, so you don't have to worry about any sudden changes in my routine. For me, my fur babies love nothing more than playing with their toys, going on new adventures, and playing catch in an open lot. Luckily, I live close enough to a variety of outdoor trails that my dogs always enjoy walking through and near a handful of parks allowing them to run free or play catch. When watching someone else's four-legged friend I do my best to stay within that animal's daily routine so that when their owners are to return neither party has any unexpected behavior. Before trying anything that may be new to the animals I always make sure to check with their owners so I know they are comfortable with my actions.

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, is my animal soulmate. Cuco currently resides with human grandparents due to elderly age and makes occasional appearances at my home. I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Thank you for reading, look forward to being of help as needed. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. This summer I am taking a summer sabbatical and fully available. When I do return to work, pups are welcomed to take naps on designated desk area (yes even on top of my desk - right next to me for those that need human safety) to enjoy second floor window views (bark at delivery drivers) and naps. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in living room, kitchen, office and loft for them.

“Mr. Feliciano was very professional and took excellent care of my cat. My cat is not friendly to just anyone, but with him she was friendly.”

“Mark Was very attentive to my dog. I was very impressed with our meet and greet. He made sure to get to know our dog. He provided one on one walks and play time in the back yard. We will use his services again.”

“Marissa is awesome! We love to see how happy Lily gets for her when she arrives. She’s reliable and a true animal lover. We cannot go wrong with her!”

“Taylor is the absolute best! She has a heart of gold. Her animal handling skills have no rival. She is the best choice for local animal care needs!”

About: Please read all the way through before booking! Hello! I’m almost always available for your pet since I work from home with a flex 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. Any needs between 8am-5pm 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’m currently not employed full-time so I’m available at most times of day! 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!
