“Vivien was awesome! She came highly reviewed by a friend of mine. She came and let my GSD out while I was at work. She was so sweet to even bring my Amazon packages inside the house for me! Xylo (my pup) looked thrilled on the photos she sent me and it was great to know he was in such great care while I was stuck at work! Thanks so much Vivien! I hope you and Xylo will get to hang out again soon ?”

“Tucker loved Megan. She was very flexible on walk times working around weather developments. I will be using her in the future when I have my knee surgery. Thats one less thing to worry about.”

“Qianna was a vacation-saver. Our original dog-walker had transportation and communication issues so we had to cancel with her. We found Qianna mid-afternoon and she was willing to come over that evening to meet us and then take over the next 8 days of dog-walking. She was quick to respond, pleasant, dependable and a very motivated young woman. She did a great job with Reno & his quirks. A many-star rating from us.”


About: I have had dogs my whole life! People have called me an “animal lover” since I was very young. Sometimes, spending time with animals is more enjoyable to me than spending time with people. I have a lot of energy to play and run and cuddle with your doggos! I am open, enthusiastic, silly, playful and fun with humans and with dogs :) I will treat your dogs as my own. I can’t think of a more rewarding way to spend my time than being loving and kind to your dogs while you are away. My schedule is flexible and I am a very understanding person who will follow your instructions thoroughly. I am confident in my ability to walk and take care of dogs! I am wide open and ready to hang with your dogs! I want this to be my full time job, so i am leaving my schedule open to accommodate accordingly :) I have 2 dogs, one is 3 and the other is 6. I walk them atleast twice a day, play fetch often, and cuddle them 24/7. I make sure they have the best food and that they are happy and healthy :) It's my main purpose in life. Spending time and taking care of and playing with animals is pure bliss to me. It is an honor to know them and love them. I basically give them all my time and energy. I dont usually spend more than 4 hours away bc i dont want them to be lonely. I will do the same with your babies.

About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed!

I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Lauren is awesome with my dogs. Shes always very sweet to them and notifies me if their tummies are upset. She even helped clean up a mess so I wouldn't step in it when I got home. Her and her family have been such a great help. I can't say enough positive things.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Side
I had a wonderful experience with Mercedes. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional from start to finish. It was clear that they genuinely cared about my dog and paid close attention to their needs throughout the walk. I appreciated the updates and the level of attentiveness they showed, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly enjoyed their time together. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to walk their dog.
