About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

“Ron has walked our dog several times during the day. We appreciate his punctuality and ability to help on short notice. He came to meet our dog before the scheduled walk and we really appreciated it. Good communication as well.”

“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”

“Absolutely wonderful! Paloma let me know when they were on their way and was super sweet and kind. Even ran with Percy a few times at my request and he came back wiped- goal achieved! Will def be back again! Tysm!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family for more than 20 years. I have two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is disabled and requires a lot of care. I’m well trained to take care of any of your pets who require special care. I spent three years as a pet store manager and I can care for birds, reptiles, small animals, fish, dogs, and cats. I’m a high school teacher and so I’m up by 5am and off work by 3pm. I can come before school, as well as any time after 4:00. I can easily care for your pet in your home. Keeping them in a familiar place and on their normal routine. This allows their familiar sights and sound while you are away.
“Amber has been the best! Used her on a weekly-basis for walks.. reliable, flexible with my changing schedule and took great care of my dog who is pretty selective with who he trusts!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.
About: What sets me apart is how attentive and caring I am with every dog I watch. I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years for family, friends, and the nanny families I’ve worked with, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I have experience with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very patient, dependable, and pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I also know how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. As a recent college graduate, I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. Aside from occasional job interviews or appointments, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care on both weekdays and weekends. With my open schedule, I’m able to be very attentive and make sure pets get consistent care, plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I’m very attentive to a dog’s behavior and comfort level, and I always prioritize creating a calm, safe environment.

“Michaela is so good with my rambunctious boys! I don't trust many people can handle them and she has my absolute trust. She's very friendly, responsive -and most of all - a kennel break savior! I absolutely recommend her...as long as you don't take her away from us!”

“Hanna goes above and beyond to treat my dog the best he can be. She is super reliable and will always take great care of your animal. I appreciate all she does for my dog, and highly recommended for anyone needing great care.”
“Meg was amazing and that’s is still a understatement!! My dog absolutely loved her. She messaged me the whole time to make sure I felt comfortable while on a trip. Will definitely be booking with her again and again in the future. I highly recommend. Just don’t keep her to busy I still need her lol.”


“Caty took the time to come meet me and Rookie. She walks Rookie during the time frame that I asked and I get wonderful pictures and updates. Caty even made sure that Rookie was cared for when the weather was too precarious to allow travel. We're thankful for her time and care!”

“Can’t imagine having a better person to walk our dog, Guinness. Clearly loves dogs, conscientious, punctual and an easy going personality. Not to mention Guinness LOVED him immediately. We are very pleased and look forward to having him back.”

About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.
Rolling Meadows dog parents share their Rover experiences
Dani has been walking my pup for the last week and a half and I couldn’t be happier. Dani is very respectful and asks a lot of good questions. My pup warmed up to Dani pretty quickly and her separation anxiety is decreasing. Could not recommend Dani enough to anyone looking for a dog walker. Thanks, Dani!
Really appreciated how Jennifer wanted to get to know our doggie better before she is boarding him in March. She genuinely was interested in what was best for him and putting him at ease. You could tell how comfortable she was with any situation and we can't wait for Zachy to spend some time with her!
