We are very grateful we found Mike! He is great with our two large dogs and has worked hard on keeping us updated on their walks, and working with them on listening better while walking. He is very responsive and respectful of our home, and we look forward to working with him again.

Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through my own pets and helping care for family and friend’s animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and keeping pets on their routines. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My availability may change as my work schedule changes, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can commit to the care I agree to provide. I’m happy to work around my schedule when possible and I’m especially flexible on days I’m not working. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make sure they’re safe and comfortable, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will always be responsible, attentive, and communicative while you’re away.

About: I have been a proud dog mom for the past 9 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! I live a very active lifestyle and truly believe our pets deserve to enjoy that same energy, whether that means a long walk, playtime, or simply getting some extra love and attention throughout the day. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and have regularly dog-sat for friends and neighbors. I recently moved to Chicago and am excited to bring my love for dogs to Rover! I’m especially comfortable with big dogs and high-energy pups who need a little extra exercise, structure, and attention. My goal is to make every pup feel happy, safe, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾 I manage & teach at a Pilates studio so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am also a very early riser 🌞 I also have a car, so transportation will never be an issue. Communication is the most important part of caring for your pet! I’ll make sure we’re aligned on your dog’s routine, needs, and preferences, and I’ll keep you updated throughout their time with me. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

About: Hi, I'm Erin! Before I entered the world of office work, I was walking dogs and pet sitting professionally for local businesses in Richmond, VA and Naperville, IL. I have 6 years of experience in pet care, including some experience at a groomer and daycare. I love all animals and have worked with and owned all kinds, from exotics, birds, cats, and dogs. I've cared for little puppies still figuring things out as well as the sweet seniors that need a little help eating and getting around. I've also rescued and fostered kittens! I have a personal interest in positive reinforcement training and use it on my own dog. I have been trained to orally medicate, administer shots, and have experience with first aid/CPR. I have a Chihuahua mix who is my heart and soul, so I understand what concerns a pet parent may have. In my free time I like to bike, paint, read, watch movies, go birding, and play video games. I place security and safety of your pet and home at top priority and like to leave things just as good or better than when I came. You'll get photos and updates with each visit if requested so you can rest easy while away. Please don't hesitate to reach out of you have any questions or concerns! I'm available most of the week except for Monday-Friday 6:30am-3:30pm where I work my full time job in medical billing. I work from home so I can be flexible if you are in the area as I have some downtime. I like to leave your house as I found it or better. If there are special instructions (such as door codes, house or pet quirks, crate or feeding instructions) please provide them prior to the visit. If your pup would like some socialization, I'd be happy to bring Mavis along for walks. If you need trash taken out, plants watered, litter boxes scooped, please let me know and I'll take care of it. If you're out of town for a while I like to rotate lights in the house to make it look lived in. Food and water will be checked every visit. I also don't like to use flexi leashes due to possible risks and will use my own 6 ft leash just in case you don't own one. If your pet has any favorite toys, activities, or other special info let me know!

About: If you're looking for an experienced pet caregiver who cares about the health, safety and care of the animals she looks after, you're in great hands. I have previously worked for Houston Dog Butler where I cared where I focused on cat sitting and dog walking. I will learn about your pet's personality and quirks before we develop a lasting friendship together. I will, without a doubt, give the upmost care for your loved one. I’m currently full time pet-sitting on Rover and have plenty of availability throughout the weekdays and weekends. Send me a request and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! ❤️ As a cat parent to two myself, I know it takes time and patience to get most cats to warm up to you and I love to learn each pet’s individual quirks.

Cristian is great! We needed some help with lunchtime walks 3x a week for a couple months after a foot surgery, and we feel so lucky to have found Cristian. He is super communicative, took great pics every visit, and wrote up thorough notes about our girl. He is super patient with our high energy girl, and would even jog with her on some days to tire her out! We highly recommend Cristian and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when we need a dogwalker!

About: Experience with large/XL breeds, bully breeds, working/high energy breeds, reactive and senior pups. Happy to provide your pup with structured and/or lax sniff walkies. Expert in freesbie, fetchies & tug- I have a working breed at home so very familiar with their requirements.

When someone is caring for my pet, I love to get photo updates as I’m sure all pet parents would. I have a good amount of experience with reactive/nervous pups and especially on walks so I’m aware of how to handle triggers. Attentive to outside factors- other dogs garbage/food on the floor, etc

About: I am an educator by training. I am looking for extra work during the summer and school year away from the classroom. I dog and cat sat and dog walked throughout college for four years. I cared for a 15-year-old labrapoodle and I cared for a 7-year-old bordie collie for a combined 5 years. I took them on daily walks, fed them according to a strict meal regimen, and made sure they were safe. The 15-year-old dog had health issues so I have experience in responding to health crisis with elderly dogs and know how to respond in case of an emergency. I am willing to commute, but have limited availability with overnight visits as I have a 19 month old and 7 month old at home.I also have experience with cats! I personally have four cats (ages 2,2, 2, and 4) who I love dearly. I’m able to administer medicine, feed, and care for all breeds and ages of cats. Generally, I do have a full-time job so pet care is part time for me. I’m saving to buy a house and go on a trip so I’m really looking for extra income. Work takes up my time during the day, but I’m available in the evenings and weekends for pet sitting. I’m also available during holidays and the summer. As of 12/2/25: I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have cats so animals need to be friendly with cats. We dog sat for a few weeks and my cats were friendly with the dogs. If the animals must stay with me, I prefer cats as my schedule makes dog walking from my home challenging. I can do drop ins!

Melanie was new to my dogs, Leo and Gigi, so I was a little nervous at first—but any worries disappeared immediately. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely kind, and my dogs clearly felt comfortable with her right away. Melanie was so gentle and attentive, always following their rhythm and needs. She also provided thoughtful daily updates after each walk, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear Leo and Gigi were in great hands, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
