About: I have owned many pets throughout my childhood. To say what kind of experience I have would take more than 125 words because each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. I’m home almost all day so they will get all the attention they ever want(or the space they need). I aim to make them happy! Non smoke home with a big spacious living room to play or rest in. I’ve been dog walking/pet sitting since I was a teen and miss doing that. I love hiking and anything outdoorsy so I’m always up for being outside as well. If you have any questions please reach out! I’m a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to easily take your pup out on walks and quick potty breaks. We don’t have a fenced yard but have a shared yard out in the back as well as a park nearby. I walk them right before I would leave to run any errands and usually don’t take long. I follow the instructions provided so that its not stressful for the pup as well as the pet owner. I send updates on how the pup is doing and what we’re up to. We go out on walks a lot. If it’s okay with the owner than I take the pup out on a shorter hike with my daughter. I make sure to grab water too! At home we see what kind of personality the pup has because some aren’t as active and would rather cuddle while others like to play play play.
“Friendly, professional, communicative, and prompt! My pup was happy and I enjoyed the report cards. Will definitely be booking with Julia next time I work late”

“Brittany walked our two energetic and reactive dogs for one hour walks over a two week period. We were out of town and my parents had easy communication with her. My dogs got their exercise and were happy and content pups! I would recommend Brittany and book through her again.”

“Bethany is a great walker! Our little guy is still a puppy but she was very patient with him pulling and being a little jumpy. We will be sure to use her again!”

“Audrey did a great job with Tommy, even after he decided not to eat during her first day with him. (It’s not unusual behavior on his part.) She did a great job in keeping us informed and working through food options, one of which eventually worked. She was calm under pressure.”


About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for 10 years now. I have had dogs of my own, and I currently live with two lovely golden retrievers. I enjoy helping others in this way by alleviating stress and making sure their pet(s) are well cared for while they’re away! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time with your pets! I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays before 10am for a morning walk, and Wednesdays-Fridays any time for walks, play and quality time. Im available for pet and house sitting weekdays and weekends! When you provide the details of your pet’s routine, I’ll make sure they will be well cared for, and the routine consistent! They’ll get lots of active time and attention.

“I’m so grateful to have found Jacob! He is incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and reliable. From the first moment he met our pup and family, his love, care, and knowledge of dogs shone through. It was such a gift to me to be able to leave town knowing my dog would be well cared for and his considerable walking needs met! Jacob was also very sensitive to the fact that our pup was a recent (within 5 months) rescue and training on the leash is still in progress. I cannot highly recommend Jacob enough!”

About: I’m a big animal lover. I got my first dog 5 years ago, and trained her by myself. I love training, teaching dogs fun new tricks, going on walks and just showing all the love to any and all animals. I work a full time job. But work from home on Mondays and some Fridays. If you are comfortable with me being gone for 8 hours during the week, I’m your gal! My puppy, Mochi, would love a buddy to play with while I’m gone. I have a big, fenced back yard, lots of dog toys, and a very friendly pup who loves all dogs. I have watched and trained many of my friends dogs, so I have ample of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds.
“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I am experienced with all of the best (and the most frustrating) parts of working with dogs of all kinds! I am adept to handle anything your pet may need just as I do for my own little guy. I've had dogs my whole life and pet sat/dog walked through much of my college and adult life. Working from home provides me the flexibility to drop in and give your pet a little love and attention while you're away! 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐈𝐧𝐬 I'm available for drop-ins throughout the week and weekends where I am happy to let your dog out, provide food/water, play games and/or snuggles and more! If you're gone for a bit, I am more than happy to bring inside your mail, water plants, and care for miscellaneous small pets like fish, to make your time away more seamless! 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 Walking is a part of my daily routine — I love getting outside to start or end my day with some fresh air and a little sweat. I'm happy to take your pups on walks around your neighborhood for potty breaks or to get out some of the pent-up energy! I am a loving and caring pet caregiver, I know how important it is to meet all of your dogs needs - physically, mentally, and emotionally - for them to be able to live a calm, happy, and stress-free life. I know the anxiety and fear that can come with leaving your pet at home while you're away or out of the home busy. Whether it's walking, daycare, or drop-ins...I am here to help ensure your pet is taken care of in the exact same way that you would. Whether that is simply potty breaks and feeding, or if they require specific care and attention in other ways. I will treat your pet like my own — with lots of love, treats (if allowed), sniffs, pets and love. And ensure their happiness and safety along the way.
About: I’ve pet sat for five animals at once, including both dogs and cats! I have experience with animals ranging from puppy to senior! I’ve owned dogs of all different sizes including wiener dogs and newfoundlands! I also have two cats! I’m super flexible and a quick learner who can easily adapt to the needs of your pets! I’m currently working a separate job but it is part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with animals and have a very flexible schedule! I consider myself to be very likable to animals and have a positive demeanor which animals find comforting! I have experience walking both big and small dogs and caring for cats as well!
Rockwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Haley did a great job walking my border collie! My dog is very high energy and she came back very calm and happy. Haley was very kind to take several adorable photos of her along their walk too. I will definitely request Haley for future walks. Thank you again Haley!
Halle is wonderful with our dogs and so professional! She was always on time and sent plenty of updates of my happy dogs on their afternoon walk! Having her help us out during the week has been such a stress reliever knowing my dogs are happy and getting the exercise they need. Would absolutely recommend Halle to anyone for dog walking and any care your pets need 🐾

I honestly don’t know what we’d do without Isabella! Red and Amarok are both big, energetic dogs and definitely strong pullers — but Isabella handles them like a total pro. From day one, she’s been calm, confident, and completely in control, which immediately put my mind at ease. She’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and takes the time to send thoughtful updates after each walk. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and Red and Amarok absolutely love her — they get so excited when they see her coming! Having someone we can trust with two strong dogs is such a relief. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only skilled but also kind, patient, and professional, Isabella is the one. Can’t recommend her enough!

Rachel was wonderful with our doggie Shadow. She came by to meet us first, get familiar with our property, dog, and us. She was always on time, took our dog for long walks in Lincoln Park where he loves going and kept us informed on exact timing, and progress. We will be hiring Rachel to walk our dog through Lincoln park again.

Sarah has been wonderful to work with. She was highly attentive to my pup’s needs and took extra time to make him feel comfortable around her. Sarah communicates clearly and will put your mind at ease by keeping you in the loop. When you book with Sarah, you can rest assured your fur babies are in excellent hands!
