“Samantha gave great feedback on all of Strudel’s walks and he looked happy in the pictures that she sent. All of her comments were super positive and I appreciated her great communication. I hope Samantha will be available again for Strudel’s walks in the future.”

“Jessica was great!!! Took great care of our pup and left a bunch of updates and photos during their walks!! Super fast response times, even on a last minute booking! Also very accommodating to both my pup and the special instructions we left behind!! Would definitely book Jessica again !! (:”


“Maeve is always great to work with. She responds quickly to our requests and is flexible when we have to change our plans. She takes great care of our animals and our house. We will continue to use her services!”

“We love Madeline! She’s incredibly reliable, responsive and kind. I love the updates and photos she shares with me and can tell my dog loves her. Thanks for taking such good care of my little guy on all his walks!”

“Mikayla has been wonderful with my pittie. She started regularly walking him and things could not be going better. My pittie can be a handful as he is sassy and does not like other animals, especially dogs, but Mikayla has handled him well! Will definitely continue to use Mikayla!”

“Rich was great with our pups. Very calm. He showed up on time for meet/greet. He was very responsive via the app. For the actual walks, he, again, showed up on time and sent updates on the kids. He was very patient and calm with our timid girl. He made sure their crates were secured. We couldn't have asked for a better, more responsible person to take care of our pups.”

About: Growing up with dogs and cats I can honestly say they are an integral part of a family. Now that I have a kitty of my own I understand how important it is to have someone reliable when you have to be away from your furry family members. While I haven’t been a professional pet sitter/walker in the past, I have been a reliable and dedicated pet care taker for friends and family. I have experience with a variety of pets, from calm and relax kitties, to energetic puppies, to a senior lab who just wanted to be a lap doggie in his final days 💚 I work from my home and I have control of my own schedule. My hours are very flexible so I can accommodate your morning, midday, evening or night pet care needs. If left with instructions I will make sure to follow them thoroughly. You know what is best for your pet and I am here to make sure they are happy and well taken care of. It’s important for me to know your pets history of health, triggers, favorite activities and preferences to make sure I am doing everything I can to keep them safe and happy. While I prefer to take care of your pets in your own home (their environment), I can take them into my home. I live with my cat Luna. She is a 3 year old Chartreux polydactyl kitty who is very observant and loving. She has been socialized with other cats and dogs in the past. She is spayed and is up to date on all vaccinations.
“Joy is the best! This was the second time she walked and took care of our 1 year old puppy while we were away. He loves his time with her and she always goes the extra mile - taking him to the dog park (which can be a hassle with a pup) not because we asked her to but because she knows he loves it. She has become our go-to walker/sitter and we know our puppy looks forward to her walks as much as we appreciate the care she gives him. Thank you Joy!”

“Kailin has been great so far with walks for my dog Dakota, has been on time, very communicative, and has made a real effort to bond with Dakota to grow Dakota's trust/comfort with her.”


“Olivia was able to help me out twice this weekend on pretty short notice! She took lots of pictures which I loved and also left a detailed review of her time spent with my dog, Watson! Thanks, Olivia!”

“Jessica was absolutely amazing to my little Chihuahua, Lucia! She was very communicative and reliable. She was even able to accommodate changing the time onto two walks due to a last-minute schedule change. I will absolutely be using her again and I highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I love to play with them and give them all the love and attention they deserve. I have pet sat for family and close friends a couple of times. I currently work remotely, so I can come over for most of the workday. I have plenty of time to play and take care of your animals. I do like to go out to dinners and activities with friends in the evening, but I will always make time before or after my event to check in on the animals. The nights I’m not out and about, I am open to staying for the majority of the evening to give your animal extra time and attention I am used to walking my dogs on leash. I have a yellow lab, and I have pet sat big dogs before. I also have a boyfriend who has two huskies and can come over and help with any bigger or rowdier animals. I will maintain regular contact with owners and update them with pictures of their animals daily.
About: Been around dogs since I was little. Have taken care of puppies as well as senior dogs for several friends and family members. Volunteered at PAWS Chicago while in college. Patient, kind, and will treat your dogs like they’re my own. Currently working a full time job downtown, but I can do walks/check ins in the evenings on workdays. My off days are Friday and Saturday until November 8, then my off days will be Sunday and Tuesday. I will be available all day for walks/check ins those days. I am able to follow instructions thoroughly and can check in with the owners if needed. I am very good at reading dogs. I can also provide little essentials if needed (treats, poop bags, etc.)

“Michael has been wonderful with our two dogs! He is dependable, caring, and truly great with them. Our dogs absolutely adore him, and it's clear how much he genuinely loves what he does. We're very grateful to have found Michael and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dogs with love and care.”

“Chelsey has been walking our pup for a couple of weeks, and she's great! Always right on time, with an awesome, detailed report. Maple is not the easiest of pups, but she takes care of her so well! Thanks, Chelsey :)”


About: My family had dogs my whole life growing up, and I have also dog sat since I was a kid. I have experience with old dogs, young dogs, blind dogs, and hopefully soon to be yours! I work full-time remotely so it’s very easy for me to have dogs come stay with me or stay with them if local. I am home a lot, and I go on a lot of runs too if your dog is into that, but otherwise I love a morning, mid-day, and or post-work walk! I have a spacious apartment, big windows to look out, and am walking distance to a park and pet friendly cafes! Dogs are also welcome to sleep with me.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Uptown is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Uptown
Roxanne was a life saver for us with such short notice for Aggie. She was communicative, flexible, loving, and attentive to all of our needs, especially being (quite literally) brand new parents. I recommend Roxanne to anyone and will be working with her again!

Erin did a wonderful job watching my pup for the two weeks I was out of town! She communicated really well throughout the stay, and my dog was very happy and well cared for. I’m especially grateful that Erin was able to step in after my original sitter canceled just two weeks before my big trip. She really came through for us, and I would happily recommend her to other pet parents!
