About: I’ve always loved all kinds of animals! I’ve had a dog of my own, Lucy, for 13 years during my childhood. I’ve taken care of dogs for family members that included taking them on walks, feeding them, and enrichment. Last year, I volunteered at my local animal shelter and gained more experience on animal welfare. I am kind, patient, and very attentive. I’m currently working part-time remote and I’m flexible for pet care! I do prefer early in the weekdays, or I am also available on an early/afternoon Saturday. I have no pets at my house. Although, when I would be in charge of your pet I will be very responsible. I have plenty of experience walking dogs in the past. I will be certain that their collar/harness is on correctly and have them on a leash at all times outside. Volunteering at the shelter required all of us to leash the dog properly before exiting the building. Some of the dogs would be very excited, distracted, or hyper. I am confident in my experience and abilities to create a safe environment and give them the best care!

About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life and have cared for pets for as long as I can remember. About 10 years ago, I worked as a professional dog walker, and I currently volunteer with Chicago Pet Rescue. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, from energetic and playful to shy or senior pets. I provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I work part-time with a flexible daytime schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the week. As a planner and dependable communicator, I take pride in being on time and providing consistent care. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their families are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique and do my best to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide updates and photos when appropriate so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving attentive, loving care.

“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.”

About: For many years, I have cared for my own pets, developing a deep affection and understanding for them. I have also provided loving and responsible care to other pets belonging to friends and neighbors. My experience in caring for elderly individuals has also enhanced my empathy and dedication. I am passionate about the well-being of animals and the peace of mind of their owners. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide consistent care and maintain pets’ routines. I am available daily and can adapt to their feeding, rest, and companionship schedules. On Sundays, I attend church, and on some weekdays I may be out in the afternoon for short periods, always planning ahead to ensure pets are comfortable and well cared for. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets. I keep spaces organized and free of hazards, always respecting their feeding, rest, and play routines. I supervise pets constantly and make sure they have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and attention according to their needs. My priority is for them to feel safe, cared for, and at home.

“My two dogs love Amanda. She is trustworthy, punctual, and quick to respond. I highly recommend her as a dog walker. Your dogs will be in good hands.”

“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: Back in my hometown for the summer from traveling. Caring and walking dogs for friends and family has felt second nature. Every dog gets my full attention, whether we're out on a walk or keeping them comfortable and calm at home. I love to share digital updates so you're never left wondering, just missing them a little less. I always welcome a meet and greet before your first booking so your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident! My schedule is flexible throughout the day which means I can work around what works best for you and your pet. I typically have availability in the mornings, midday and evenings and always give advance notice if anything changes. I treat every home with the same respect I'd want shown to my own. Your pet stays in their familiar environment which means less stress and more comfort. I stay attentive, keep disruptions minimal and if anything ever seems off you'll hear from me right away.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for most of my life. I’m great with all types of breeds. I can work with high anxiety dogs, lazier-chill dogs, puppies and senior dogs. I work part-time from home and available to pups all day. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and weekends. I’m also available on Holidays. I recently lost my Doberman of 11 years to cancer and I miss him soooo very much! With that being said I have a lot of love to give to your pups and looking forward to playtime, cuddles, tricks for treats and walking buddies. I have a fenced in yard and will take numerous walks with pups. Pups get to roam free in the house and are allowed on furniture and bed. I’m flexible to adjust to the needs of your beloved pup. I will follow detailed instructions by owners and make sure pups feel safe and comfortable at all times. I’m available 24/7 and here to provide the best service.

“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.”

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!

About: I grew up in a family with dogs and now I have a golden retriever of my own whom I have taken care of since he was a puppy. I know the ins and outs of taking care of a dog from puppy stage to adulthood stage! I have also taken care of my friends’ dogs and enjoy being their company! I love walking and running so if you have an energetic pup, you got the right person. If your dog prefers to have a chill day, I can also make sure we have a great time and your baby doesn’t get bored. Additionally, I have taken lots of training courses am able to teach your dog some simple tricks and obedience training :) I just graduated college and I am practically free the whole summer to take care of your pup! Preferred days are Thursdays - Saturdays but I’m very flexible with my schedule. I’m good at following instructions and asking questions/clarifications. Anything for your pup’s safety and health, i’m all for it! If your pup needs any extra care/attention just make a note of it and I will make sure to take that into account. I am an experienced dog mum so I know how it’s like. Your dog will be in good hands :)

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I just want them to feel loved and cared for. If I could save all of them in this world, I would. I’ve taken care of nine cats at my mom’s house growing up my entire life. Had three pitbulls in the past, i love all the cuddles! I have experience in a variety of settings for pet care. From homing, rehoming, fostering to babysitting. I also work from home so your baby will be provided for.

About: I have experience looking after dogs, cats and small animals! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. My future goal in life is to foster pets once out of university. In addition to this, I have experience house sitting and am able to care for plants as well! I am working part time and taking summer online courses, so I will have ample time to spend with your pet and give them the love and care they need while you're away. I follow consistent walking and feeding schedules and am always willing to stay with your pet overnight if needed. I will follow all guidelines given to me and will keep transparent and constant communication with you through text or call (whichever you prefer). I love taking photos of your pets and will always update you with pictures of what me and your pet are up to! Additionally, I'm Animal Care Training certified through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

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.
