“We interviewed a few walkers on Rover, and Taylor was the one who stood out above the rest. She was much more clear and descriptive about her approach, her style of managing dogs, and her specific techniques. She is very organized, highly responsive, and I highly recommend her for your pets!”
About: I have experience working with all types of dogs in several settings. I have been trusted as a dog walker for breeds of many sizes and temperaments and pet sitter for both daily and overnight stays for dogs of all ages. I have loved it all! I am currently a full time college student and part-time volunteer, which means my availability is primarily dictated by my class schedule. During school months, I am most available in the afternoons and evenings, but over breaks I am much more free! I currently live in a dorm and am therefore unable to bring your pet into my living space, but am willing to use my car to transport your dog(s)!

“Rena helped me out last minute when I needed a walker after a family emergency. She was quickly responsive and able to pick up the shift and I couldn’t have been more grateful!”
“Maite has been amazing with my dog Mocha. Mocha looks forward to her walks with Maite. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take care of your fur baby.”
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & love for animals - I’d volunteer to take the neighborhood dogs on a walk, clean up after them, groom them and watch them… this passion and love hasn’t gone away, but has only grown! This passion and love has grown so much that I’ve volunteered several times at local Kane county animals shelters! I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, needs, energy levels… from a couch potato Irish Wolfhound mix rescue to a energetic purebred Chihuahua. I even have experience with cats and kittens! If by request, I can work on commands, walking, agility, etc. … I’ve got experience with it all! Friends and family would describe me as dependable, punctual, honest, energetic, positive & trustworthy to name a few! I’m very adaptable and flexible, too, so please just reach out with any concerns and we can work something out together. Your furry baby/babies are the main concern! Whatever you need for your sweet baby/babies, I’m here to help! Let me show you my love and experience with animals by booking a walk, drop in or house sit with me today! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available Tuesdays, Fridays, & Weekends. Offer up a time and service, and I’ll work my schedule around that! I will follow all rules and routines, as usual when at the home. As for walks, I’ll make sure to keep a close, attentive eye on your sweet pup(s)! For drop ins and house sitting, I will be sure to leave your home and baby/babies in the same exact condition, if not even better! *pricing subject to change based on distance, length, amount of dogs, and requirements* I have a lot of free time to help with your furry babies! I will adjust accordingly to fit into your schedule and be ass accommodating as possible. I will follow your instructions as listed - whether that’s keeping your pup on a leash while in the backyard to crating the pup before I leave, I’m on it!
“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”
About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
“My wife and I met Lauriel only briefly to introduce our dogs and cover their specifics and immediately knew she would be a great fit.. We are very happy to have met Lauriel and are excited to have her continue to help take care of our boys... Thank you for all the you do! - highly recommended based on: patience, warmness, reliability”
“Alana waa so amazing and our dogs absolutely loved her. We've never used a service before but are so happy we found Alana!!! She completely took care of our pups from feedings to letting them out. Looking forward to being able to go out again and not worry so much about them!!!”
