“Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.”
“We couldn’t recommend Katrina more! Not only did our dog love her, she was great at communication and always let us know if there was anything she noticed or was concerned about while she walked and checked in on Nutmeg. It was a relief to know that she was in good hands while we were at work.”
“Alondra is sweet, attentive, thoughtful, prompt and a great communicator. Grateful to have found her. I will definitely continue hiring her as long as she’s available. A+ !”
“Catherine is fantastic! She is detail oriented, thoughtful, and responsible. Our dog, Ozzie, has been a bit of a challenge- not wanting to walk in the extreme heat. Catherine has found ways to encourage him and give him other kinds of attention, like playing fetch in our backyard. We will continue to hire her!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! I’ve had jobs (paid and volunteer) in animal shelters, pet sat for various friends and neighbors, and fostered dogs at different points in my life. At the moment I have one very spoiled cat due to the added responsibility of raising 3 children. However, I created this Rover profile because I’d love to have more animal interactions in my life! I work from home full time and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule . It’s easy for me to pop out and visit your pet and/or take your dog for a walk during the day when you’re at work or out of town. I am willing to take into account any instructions you give me as far as walking, feeding, grooming, and playing with your pet. I know how hard it is to leave our furry family members and I’d love to give you peace of mind that your pet is getting the best care possible.
“Kristina did a great job and communicated what was going on very well! She also takes good pictures. I would definitely use her again! Thanks K!”
“Great job walking my pup!”
“Highly recommend booking Viviana as a dog walker. She did a great job with our two pups, especially our older dog who can be a little feisty. She is very responsive and even came to meet our dogs beforehand to make sure she could provide them the best care possible.”
About: I’ve been the owner of a pit bull/lab mix for 6 years. My doggie was definitely a trouble maker growing up, so I’m able to handle a lot of stress. I’ve house sat and watched my friends doggies countless times, and they always ask me whenever they need a pet sitter! I love love love doggies so much, so it’ll be amazing if I can get paid while spending time with them! I work 6am-3pm and after that I’m available to walk, baby sit, play with your doggies! I especially love long walks, and playtime with dogs! I always make sure that there’s a trust between me and the doggie first. I don’t want to make the dog overwhelmed so I let them sniff me first, and see how they react around me. If they are a little nervous and scared, I’ll try to ease them in with some treats or some pets. I always want to make sure they feel safe and secure.
“Michele is the best! I sadly had to lose her due to a move. She took the best care of my dog George. Her mid day updates with pictures always brightened my day. I appreciated her flexibility with my schedule. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Had a great meet and greet.Boomer was excited and tuckered out when he came back.Justin knew exactly what he needed.”

“Paula was terrific with our dogs, they were very happy to see her and she did a great job with them. Thanks!!”
About: At 13 years old I started a pet sitting service so that I didn't have to babysit humans, best decision ever! Besides taking care of other's fur babies, I also have had my own, both dogs and cats. Over the years I have taken care of several different breeds of dogs ranging in all ages including ones that needed special care. My love and passion for animals has been a huge part of me since I can remember. You'll be able to rest easy knowing that when I am taking care of your pet I will ALWAYS treat him or her exactly as I would my own. I will love your fur babies and keep them safe until you get back. I have a consistent Monday-Friday work schedule and I work in the area so I can easily and reliably accommodate doggy walks and morning/evening drop-ins. I'm available most weekends and enjoy spending my free time outside so having an animal companion would fit in seamlessly! I am reliable, respectful and I have a genuine love for all animals, dogs and cats especially! When doing drop-ins I will be respectful of your home and follow any rules or guidelines without exception. I will give your fur babies all my love and attention, and keep them safe until your return.

About: Hello. I've been a dog owner for 30 years and a dog lover forever! I would love to take the stress and worry away from you while you're away by you knowing that your dog is being loved, cared for, pampered, exercised and played with as if s/he was one of my own! My husband and I live in a split-level home in Skokie with a large fenced-in yard. We were privileged to be the owners of two adorable, sweet-natured and friendly female Beagles named Bria and Chloe. Bria was 14 when she passed in 1994, and Chloe recently passed in February of this year. She was almost 16. They were the best! Since I work out of my home, I'm typically there through-out the day, so you never have to worry about your dog being alone. I will always accommodate your dog's unique needs by following your instructions faithfully. I'll keep you updated with photos, texts and emails, if desired, so you'll never have to wonder "What's going on?" Your dog's comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I'd like to develop a long-term service relationship with you and your dog and hope you'll consider me for any of your dog's boarding, walking, or home-visit needs. Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pet! Thanks. Jane I have recently retired so that now I have the complete flexibility and freedom throughout the day to meet the needs and requirements of your dog. I have a very dog-friendly home. I have dog beds and water bowls on each floor of my split-level home, a large fenced-in yard and 30 years of having 2 beloved dogs of my own. Your dog will be in the best of hands!
