About: As a long time animal owner and lover, I'll always take care of your pet like they're my own. It's so important to me that you feel safe when you leave your fur baby in somebody else's care. I also have lots of experience with dog breeds with varying behavioral issues - from terrified chihuahuas to leash reactive german shepherds, horses, fish, and tons of lil guys inbetween. Whether it’s a drop in, walk, or overnight sitting, We’ll work together to make sure your pets needs are 110% met. 🫶🏻 I currently work completely remote so my schedule is highly flexible and I’m happy to accommodate your needs or come keep some company for a while. During drop ins, I'm always happy to refill water bowls, feed, walk, play, cuddle, and whatever is needed to make sure your pet stays stimulated and has some trusted company while you're away.
About: I have long helped family and friends with watching and checking in on their own dogs and have had a passion for interacting and helping animals since I was young! I am happy to help however I can with making sure they are comfortable and content. I currently work full time in the evenings, so I have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to play with your pets! Since I already have a routine established with taking care of my own pet, spending time and getting to know your pet’s routine will help build trust and comfort in the process. I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been something I truly love! Over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with all types and breeds and love getting to know each pet’s personality and needs. I have a very fun 2 year old dog who loves making new friends and does great with both male and female dogs! Whether your pup needs a home away from home while you’re traveling, daycare and or company during the day, or just a nice walk to break up their day, I’d be happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Let me know what you’re looking for I’d love to meet you and your pup! I currently work a part time serving job 2–3 evenings a week, just 7 minutes from our apartment. My shifts are only a couple of hours, and my boyfriend is usually home from work before I leave or shortly after. Because of this, if your pup stays with us, they would never be alone for more than about 1.5 hours. Outside of those short shifts, I’m home and able to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love! I love creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where pups can feel right at home! Most mornings, I enjoy spending time playing with my own pup, whether we’re tossing a toy around, enjoying some time outside, or doing enrichment activities. Our apartment has more of a townhome feel, with a fenced-in outdoor area where pups can safely get some fresh air and play. We also a tree that keeps my pup entertained for hours thanks to all the squirrels that love hanging out there! We live in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for walks and exploring. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they’re used to while they’re in my care. Most importantly, I want every pup to feel they are at home while they are with us!
“I really appreciate Kelly! She took great care of my yellow lab! She gave him a good long walk, fed him and gave him his medication. It’s very reassuring to know he’s in good hands of a dog lover.”
About: I absolutely adore animals and have a giant heart for both cats and dogs! I grew up with a beagle, a golden doodle, two labs, and two vizslas! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I will treat your furry family members like my own. As an experienced foster mama, I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, belly rubs, and sleepovers any time! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medical care needs, and everything in between. My house has no other pets, no kids, WFH sitters, and a fenced in yard; the perfect house to cherish your pet in! Hi! My husband and I both work from home and can give your pet(s) all the love and attention they deserve, Monday through Sunday! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to play, sniff around, and have zoomies! I’m okay with pets on the couch if that’s what they’re used to. I highly encourage harnesses or double collars for walks.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and know how much love and responsibility they need. Back in middle school, I started my own dog walking business and cared for everything from big Bernese Mountain Dogs to little Shih Tzus. I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving them some extra attention. Right now I’m job hunting, so I’m free Monday through Thursday any time of the day. Once I do start working, I’ll still be available most evenings when needed! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them at yours, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I follow their regular routines for feeding, walks, or playtime, and I give them plenty of attention and affection. I keep their space clean and comfortable—whether it’s making sure dogs get bathroom breaks or keeping litter boxes tidy for cats. I also send updates or photos so owners know their pets are doing well. Every pet gets the care they need based on their personality and routine, and I treat them like they’re my own!
About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.
“Carly did a great job and was flexible with the plans. My dog loved her. Even my maid met her and spoke how wonderful she was. Will use her again and will recommend her to anyone. Ray. Sylvan Park.”
About: Peace of Mind While You’re Away Hi, I’m Maggie! As a local, mom and business owner, as well a life long animal lover and pet owner, I bring a level of professional maturity, structural stability, and specialized experience that gives families total peace of mind. I proudly serve pet parents across Rolling Meadows, Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Schaumburg and surrounding areas. With a flexible daily schedule, I offer the true consistency and reliable availability your dogs need to maintain a seamless, predictable routine. My Background & Specializations: * Multi-Pet Households: Highly experienced in managing multi-pet dynamics, complex feeding routines, and individual medication schedules. * Sensitivities & Anxiety: Specialized in providing structured, calm care for dogs with environmental anxieties, sound phobias, or strict behavioral routines. My core focus is primarily on high-quality daytime drop-ins and daily walks, though I do consider overnight house-sitting selectively on a case-by-case basis for compatible homes. Service Breakdown: * DROP-INS (30 Minutes): Perfect for a mid-day refresh! Every drop-in includes a 10–15 minute neighborhood stroll or backyard playtime for physical relief and mental stimulation, alongside a fresh food/water top-off, medication administration, and indoor companionship. The Rover Report: You'll receive a detailed Rover Card showing exact arrival/departure times, photos, and a complete potty/behavior update. * WALKS (30 Minutes): Dedicated entirely to continuous, focused outdoor exercise—ideal for active dogs or homes without a yard. Includes a full, structured walk tailored to your dog's natural pace and a food/water refresh upon return. The Rover Report: The app provides a GPS map of our exact route, distance covered, timestamps, photos, and a quick potty report. Important Heat Safety Note: To keep your pups safe, when the heat index rises above 90°F, outdoor walks will be shortened to quick potty breaks to protect paws and prevent heat stroke. The remaining time booked will be spent indoors doing fun brain games, low-energy play, or getting plenty of belly rubs and fresh water! * HOUSE SITTING (Overnights): A premium, dedicated care experience designed to keep your pup's stress low in their own familiar environment. Includes complete adherence to their established routine, basic home care (watering plants, rotating trash/mail), and consistent communication with daily photos. To guarantee the highest level of safety and focused attention, I only accept ONE house-sitting client at a time and book exclusively based on household compatibility. As a self-employed professional, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable, personalized pet care tailored to your families and their furry friend's needs. How I care for pets in your home: Because I provide care exclusively in your home and neighborhood, my top priority is maintaining a secure, predictable, and low-stress environment for your pets. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep safety at the forefront of every single visit. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact instructions regarding feeding, gating, crating, and medication windows to keep your dog's day entirely predictable. Environmental Management: For dogs with anxiety or sensitivity to storms and fireworks, I proactively manage the environment—closing blinds, playing calming background music, and utilizing precise comforting techniques to minimize stress. Home Security & Discretion: I ensure doors are securely locked, alarms are set, and gates are latched during every entry and exit. While house-sitting, I maintain a lived-in presence, bring in mail, and strictly respect your privacy and property. Out on Walks: Double-Check Gear: Before stepping outside, I always verify that collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted and in good condition. Distraction-Free Handling: I maintain full situational awareness on our walks and ensure my eyes are always on your dog, the path ahead, and any oncoming distractions or stray animals. Weather Safety: I actively monitor weather. If pavements are too hot for paws or a storm rolls in, we will seamlessly pivot to structured, energetic indoor play and mental stimulation to keep your pup safe and happy.
About: I am reliable, flexible, and energetic, and know what your pet needs to be well cared for and happy. I can even train if needed. I work full time during the day, but not far from home, so I can swing over anywhere first thing in morning, at lunch, dinner time, and bed time. I can feed, check on, let out, and walk pet breakfast, lunch, dinner, and/or bed time during the week, and on weekends, anytime day or night!
About: I volunteer at the Buddy Foundation. I have owned dogs my whole life, sometimes 3 at a time. I have sat for many of my friends pets. I currently adopted a thirteen year old Bishon, after putting down my Wrigley of eighteen years. I work part-time. So I have a lot of free time and energy to take care and to play with other animimals. My routine care is based on my senior dog. It is dependent on his needs not mine. Their schedule is my schedule.

“I'm so glad I found Ida. She is awesome. She treated our boy Jax so well. She gave us updates throughout and sent us plenty of pictures. Ida will be our go to whenever we need someone to watch our dog Jax.”
About: Why do I do what I do? Because there's no feeling like receiving that first tail wag, head bump, or slobbery kiss. My calling is to advocate for the ones who can't do it themselves and to care for them. Having 6 cats and some reptiles of my own and being a Veterinary Technician is what my life consists of and I love it. Being a Veterinary Technician aids me in many ways while pet sitting. Being able to read animals body language and understand their ways of communicating allow me to bond and build trust with my pet friends. I'm comfortable with all breeds, temperaments, special needs, and feline friends(spicy ones too). Building that bond with all my furry friends is what brings joy to my soul. Making sure every pet is happy, healthy, and feels safe are my main priority, always! I have the luxury of creating my own schedule so fortunately I am very flexible. Lately I have been sitting, walking, and doing drop-ins on a more regular basis. I do have a part-time job, but that schedule is made according to my business schedule. Pet care comes first! It's all about your pets safety and comfort thats my main priority. All of my services will be done in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your pets. I am more than happy to do your daily routines as you would and care for every pet as if they are my own.
About: I am a reliable, responsible and attentive sitter. I love animals so always make sure they ate and have play time. I understand every dog has different needs so am always sure to follow directions owners give me. I work from home so will be with the dog/cat I am watching for the majority of the day.
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats over the years. Enjoy walking and being outside with them!(Dogs) I personally have been a cat mom and dog mom over the years. ;) I am available for overnights, evenings and weekends; with the most flexibility on the weekends.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rolling Meadows
Hannah is truly wonderful! During the meet and greet she was so attentive and loving with our pup! She is detailed and truly honors pet owner wishes. Cooper loves Hannah and coming home to a tired pup feast great! She gave him a really good walk and we are so appreciative! Easy to communicate with and she does a great job keeping you in the loop with updates. Highly recommend her and we will for sure be requesting her again
Kace did a great job as our dog walker. She communicated well throughout and followed all instructions exactly as given. She handled both of my dogs with no issues, including my larger pitbull, which I really appreciated. She also made sure they were fed, had fresh water, and were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and I felt confident leaving them in her care. I would definitely recommend Kace for future walks.
We had a wonderful experience with Alina. She’s professional, thorough and handled our dog Nitchky’s routine perfectly. We really appreciate the detailed report cards after each visit. She genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend.
Lois was so great with Pepper! She has been reliable, and we have been very happy with how sweet and caring she is with our dog. We were also very impressed with how prepared she came to our meet and greet—she had all of the right questions prepared to ask us. It is very clear that she is a dog lover. We feel great knowing that Pepper has some company to visit her during the day.
Sophia is a fantastic dog caregiver! She was so attentive to our senior dog who be anxious and has her quirks. Sophia was on time with every visit and so communicative. It was reassuring to know how well our dog was being cared for. We would definitely recommend her and plan to hire her again.
Thank you so much for your flexibility & accommodating my last minute request before my trip! I truly felt no worries while you were walking them, and knew each day they would get their exercise and go to the bathroom on their walks which gave me such relief. Wonderful to work with, will absolutely book again in the future with Oriana!! She is the best and I could tell my dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her!
